Outsourced

NBC is set to air a show about Indian companies, called  "Outsourced".  Its content is hilarious and subsequently a kind of racist program.  Watch this trailer first and what you feel of it?  Click here . According to NBC's official description, the set-in-India workplace series "centers on the all-American company Mid America Novelties whose call center has suddenly been outsourced to India and a manager, played by Ben Rappaport, is being transferred to India to run the operation.” Supposedly, the socio-economic aspects of exporting American jobs to India are not expected to be front and center story-wise. Instead, the series is billed as “the Midwest meets the exotic East in a hilarious culture clash” . When you watch this preview, you can see first the call center manager drinks coffee in a toilet closet shaped mug.  What these Americans thinks?  Indians are eating their shit and drinking what they piss ?  It's really cruel to show lik...

Parenting - a stage of life

I have had a talk with one of my friend recently, who is father of 2 small kids.   At present they living in one of the English country and planning to move to an Asian country.  I was surprised about his decision and was asking, why like that?  His answer was revealing real worry of parent, who will be most concern about their children.  Present culture of English require, a boy need girl friend and girl need boy friend.  If you don't have that, people think that you came from some different planet.  Also premature sexual habits are increasing rapidly in this culture, which will be more troublesome for a parent as well as child.  Another fact he was saying, parents can't punish their own children.  If they punish and came to know by somebody, then social service will take them to their care home and wont give back to parents.  I was surprised with this statement.  As far as I know, most English countries protect people's privacy ve...

Eid Mubarak - memory of Ijan

Another Eid eve has gone.  I still re-collect the lively moments of my good friend Roshizal Ibrahim ( Ijan ).  He was active, jovial and friendly with everybody.  I used to advise him for his heavy smoking habit.  He always smiles at me, when I advise.  Whatever obstacles, his approach to them was very cool minded and with a smile.  Every time Hari Raya ( Ramzan ) Open House, he used to invite me and I used to be with him.  In fact, I never imagined it would have been our last open house.  He was the coordinator of our badminton team.  Very good and active player.  I was enjoying with them to play.  Every week he arrange at least one game for everybody.  The day before Michael Jackson passed away, was his last game with us.  They all played till early morning 2:00am.  He went off to home and slept off; never woke up.  It was shocking news to all of us.  I still wanted to re-collect him at this Ramzan time....
