India and its IT companies

India is flooded with IT companies. Indian MNC's are the current powerhouse of IT service industry. People know little about the inside story of the so called dream companies. Kids work hard to secure more then the margins setup by these companies. Once In, life seems cool. Every kid has to go through a series of training sessions which range from personal development to providing a sound knowledge on any technology. Once out of these sessions there is no more a kid but a MAn on the vast project lands where he can be picked by any project. Once in a project the real picture starts appearing. There are no fixed timings of leaving but you need to be on time in office. Growth is really slow. So slow that you will feel a snail is faster then you. What ever effort you put , it will never bear fruit of role change as it is experience based. These companies are a better ground for stepping in to IT domain but to remain in this condition leaves you without life, friends, health and steals your self confidence and creativity. Since these companies have employee strength of more then 100K , you can assume how good it HR team will be. The HR policies are not meant to help employees. Created in a closed room without getting a clear picture. So many helping groups in a company but little help to the end employee. If IT is your dream Job then look for a company where work / growth and life have a good balance, usually a company having less employee strength and not an Indian company. I have restricted my self a lot while writing this blog, probably one day i will gain strength to express my self fully. All these conditions are because of no unions working in this domain. I assume if there will be unions, employee's concerns will be better taken care of.

Kasauli -

Legend has it that Kasauli came into being when Lord Hanuman, on his way to getting the Sanjeevani herb, stepped here for jumping on to the Sanjeevani hill. At Kasauli there is a Hanuman Mandir atop the 300 m high hillock, called Manki Point (locals call it Monkey Point ), where Lord Hanuman is supposed to have rested his feet. This temple lies within the confines of an air force radar station and base and is subject to security restrictions (no cameras or bags allowed). The gates to the station are closed at 4pm. So visitors need to be inside the gate before that. On a clear day, one can get views of nearby cities like Chandigarh. One can reach this point by road or on foot. On foot, it takes nearly 1 and half hours minutes from Kasauli town but the scenery and harmony you enjoy makes the walk worth the effort. Brisk walking takes just 35 minutes.
Kasauli has many outdoor trails where one can experience the natural serenity. Some of the better round-trip ones are located off Upper Mall Road and originate near BSNL quarters located within the Indian Army Premesis. One such trail leads to Hanuman point. There's other trails on the Lower Mall that will take you towards Gharkhal. The trails are safe and easy. The main trail to Monkey Point leads through Air Force Guard Station at the end of Lower Mall and one is required to register here first. The entry closes at 5:00pm
The most happening place in Kasauli is the junction of Upper and Lower Malls both of which are markets with shops selling daily commodities and souvenirs for tourists. The Lower Mall boasts local restaurants selling local fast food.
Being a cantonment town, entry to Kasauli is restricted. Foreign citizens must carry their passports. The best time to visit Kasauli is between April and June, and September and November.
Kasauli largely remains untouched by civilisation. During off-season (November-February) it is still possible to walk kilometers without running into other people (unlike its neighbouring cities).
Central Research Institute (CRI) at Kasauli was established in 1905 and is a premier National Institute in the field of immunisation and virological research. The institute's contribution to medical field has been globally recognised time and again.
Kasauli is home to a beautiful club called the Kasauli club which was established by the British in 1880.
The Pasteur Institute, founded in 1900 by Sir David Semple, is the oldest in India, producing anti-rabies vaccines and also treating sufferers.
Popular Anglo-Indian author of children's literature, Ruskin Bond was born here. The Irish rugby international Andy Mulligan was born in the town in 1936.Kasauli is also home for some months of the year to famous author Khushwant Singh.
Prominent among the town's architecture is Christ Church (located near the bus station) and Lawrence School, Sanawar (6 km).

One of the most famous spots is the sunset point . The place is really soothing and rejuvenating.
