In response to 'August 27 - The saddest day for Parliament'

I have never blogged my comments which I post on other news websites on their stories.

Today I am doing so... Earlier this morning, I wrote a comment on the blog post of Mr. C P Surendran, a poet and writer, who it seems, has become a victim of identity crysys after taking up Journalism.

My comment is as follows:

Mr. Surendran,

When the parliament and the parliamentarians do not act as per the will of the people of their own constituency, it is then when people like 'TEAM ANNA' rise so that the parliamentarians do what their people are asking them to do.

As per me, it was the best day for INDIA after its independence day in 1947, as for the first time ever, 'We the People' could make things happen without being in the parliament, which our representatives were not doing for their own interests.

If the parliament has to mould (or mold) its ways for something which is correct, it is surely not a sad day. It is rather a proud day for all the people of India, and for once, for the parliamentarians as they have passed a resolution which in the most truest form, the people of India wanted them to do.

Hope some sense prevails in your mind, just as Times of India says 'let the truth prevail'...

Pathetic Journalism - WSJ - India Graduates Millions, but Too Few Are Fit to Hire

Another masterpiece of an article, giving me yet another chance to add content to the 'pathetic journalism' section of my blog. This time, it is The Wall Street Journal, taking the honors.

Read the article at WSJ here.

The article talks about India graduating millions of students, but still they are not worthy to get hired. I have never read such an article which has been written after some really shallow research with relatively smaller lesser known companies.

Please go through the following points after reading the article on the WSJ website:

- India is not just about Call Center jobs

India graduates millions of students in diverse fields and subjects, and only a tiny little percentage actually takes up a job in a call center. To come up with examples of call center companies not able to find people who can speak english properly, and to reach a conclusion of they are not worthy of being hired, is utter crap and insane.

- How do we define proper English?

Proper English for a call center company might mean - English in the American accent/Western accent. If the company 24/7 can't find people in India who can speak English fluently in the American accent, or because they do not have the money and time for training Indians the American accent - does it mean Indian graduates are not hire-able? Incredible conclusions by the author of WSJ.

In the same manner, I could write up an article with the title "America graduates millions, but too few are fit to hire" - if needed for call-center jobs catering to Hindi-speaking Indians!

WSJ - get a life. Move beyond America and just Americans in your thought process. It won't be long when Americans would do anything to learn Hindi and Chinese to grab jobs in India and China (a trend already started.....)

- The examples of interviews are rubbish.

Just because an engineer said, his hobby is international travel but has not really traveled abroad, makes him unemployable is kiddish. A call-center company hires even a school drop-out if he/she can communicate well. This young man is an engineer, and if needed can get a technical job if not a call center job.

- The article mentions NIIT Ltd as a recruitment firm, and Maharashtra as a rural state (One of the most industrialized states in India - with Bombay, its capital - the financial capital of the country). Seriously WOW!!! Kudos to WSJ's research.

This is nothing but a sheer blatant attempt to ridicule "Indian Graduates" and some mind masturbation for the author and her likes at the WSJ. Literally, the author is going through an Identity Crysys.

Pathetic Journalism - J&K Muslim jawan helped nab Pak spy

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/JK-Muslim-jawan-helped-nab-Pak-spy/articleshow/8009402.cms

Times of India (TOI) has done it again.

On the eve of the World Cup Semi Final between India and Pakistan, when the Prime Ministers of both countries met at Mohali, a young India soldier nabbed a Pakistani spy (a driver working with the Pakistan High Commission), who was trying to fish out military information from the soldier by offering him money.

The soldier obviously deserves a pat on his back for getting the spy caught, and fully justifies a news article in the national daily about his heroics. But, he surely doesn't deserve the kind of title and write up what TOI has published about the entire episode.

More than focusing on his heroics, TOI instead has put a focus on him being a Muslim, and that too from J&K. What is the need to go deep into his religion and the area he belongs? He is an Indian. An Indian Army Soldier.. Period.

We are a democracy where all religions stay together - the idea of India. Why do we need to justify or give a message to our neighbors by writing about heroics in the Indian army who are Muslim and from Kashmir?

Honestly, with the kind of patriotism a soldier bleeds, this young man would have been more proud to be called an Indian, instead of being called a Muslim Kashmiri. By giving him the identity of being a Muslim Kashmiri, we are just separating him from the rest of Indians.

TOI - grow up!
