Uncertainty of JOBS

Jobs in a private company can be the most uncertain thing.....
Some thing similar happened a few days back at my organization..... Vikas Publishing House...
Our open market team was running into losses due to extremely ineffective marketing and sales team (which is almost non-existent) .... so on monday (28th Dec, 2010) at 5:15 pm, we were told that Open market team is being dissolved...... most people were immediately fired and only 8 out of 30 people were retained....

It was the most shocking thing that has ever happened to me..... though i was one of the 8 guys who were retained.....yet my heart went out for those who were really crying..... Gira Nand Yadav ji was our proof reader and is almost 45 years of age....where is he going to get a job now??? he was inconsolable ....... same was the case with most....

I was unwell and could hardly walk around so didn't come for the next few days....but this incident did leave a bad impression on everyone's mind....

From IIIT Hyderabad

I came here on 12th December for my first paper presentation in the International Conference on Python programming that took place at ISB, Hyderabad.
My paper was on Use of Python and Phoenix Interface in Robotics. The reception was good and I enjoyed a lot. Made three good friends, Shyama Sundar, Vighnesh and Pooja. All three are Computer Science guys and only me a physics guy. The best part is that all the three are interested in research.
I took time off and visited Salarjung Museum, Birla temple and Birla museum apart from a few markets here and there. Over all it was a great experience. I got a great nudge towards making an impact in my endeavour towards making some headway in research. Lets see.
