As we all know India is developing country and there are few sectors which are onboom like IT sector,health industry,BPO etc.Despite global recession last year IT industry in India was not that badly hit as of US, or other western countries. Now as said global recession is over and IT is again recovering faster. Companies quarter results are getting better and healthier. Though US market is still recovering we can take chill pill that Indian market has lot of jobs in this current scenario. All these thing also leads to one factorwhich bother HR policy to retain work culture lively and retain employee satisfaction at any cost. Off course despite tight work schedule and deadlines small events and functions adds refreshments to employee enthusiasm and day to day mundane life. As Diwali celebrations are on peak many companies are organizing small events like best cubicle decoration competition in office, best costumes etc.Even the employee who are workaholic , they just ignore these events and stick to their system as these events are non of their business. But then when they see zeal and enthusiasm among other teams ,even they mingle with each other and celebrate.

And off course this is the great way for team bonding which is better for the company and employee both. Even we less agree but this is the fact that in India life is not that easy and in IT industry its damn not. But we Indians find happiness even in little things we do. Despite our tight work schedule which even HR people knows better, if they put a little effort to add refreshment in employees day to day life then that is really appreciable. Just today in my company a small event organized by HR and admin people. It was for best cubicle decoration and best costumes. Off course few teams were not initially enthusiastic about this event. But later on when they saw our team co-coordinating together for all decoration and costumes,then even they took a stand and participated with zeal in the event. That’s pretty cool. Off course you couldn’t see anybody working today but yes everybody enjoyed a lot. Thanks to HR and admin people for their generous efforts.

Pledge your support here and turn off your lights for one hour, Earth Hour, 8.30pm, Saturday 27th March 2010.
Burj Khalifa, the tallest man-made structure, will also join tens of thousands of iconic buildings and landmarks from across the world.

It’s Showtime! Show what can be done.

This event has successfully created a brand which is at par with many cult brands like green peace. Apart from creating awareness, i believe, it can do what the UN and the local governments couldnt do.

world peace

In a not so surprising report, by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), US was named as the biggest exporter of weapons in the entire world. Guess who was the biggest importer? No prizes…it is China followed by India. US exports 30% of the entire world export.
The volume of imports by India and Pakistan is increasing steadily and is expected to rise for another five to ten years until they agree an a permanent solutions.
The SIPRI said combat aircraft accounted for 27 per cent of the volume of international arms transfers during 2005-2009. Orders and deliveries of these potentially destabilizing weapon systems have led to arms race concerns in the following regions of tension: the Middle East, North Africa, South America, South Asia and South East Asia. Leading peace activists are finding it difficult to control this hike in weapon transaction in spite of well established protocols and platforms for discussion. It is just like a prisoner’s dilemma! Country ‘A’ buys weapons to become stronger than ‘B’ and vice verse. Thus increasing the expenditure for both. This is because the cost of not being strong enough to counter the opponents attack is much more than spending to become strong. However, if both do not spend,  both can survive without defense expenditure.Wow! so simple and yet so difficult to implement!

three oscars

Hurt Locker which earned less than 2% of Avatar’s box collection, won six Oscars compared to three by Avatar. Avatar was a movie based on the theme of human greed which could someday make the environment unlivable. On the contrary, Hurt Locker was a movie based on Iraq, bombs and army. Avatar was one of the biggest 3D movies ever made and it has revolutionized the way movies are made. Every screen of this movie is made using sophisticated technologies many of which was specially designed for this movie. Reviews all over the world indicated that Avatar will rule the Oscars but the result has disappointed many movie buffs all over the world, especially from the developing nations. People in these countries could relate to Pandora more than the bomb diffusion. Although Hurt Locker was more practical, people in developing nations prefer environment.
