For Kap-
Mebbe somewhere in India people work 12 hours a day and still say fursateech hai. Ask the lakhs of commuters who go in stinky boogies from the suburbs to churchgate everyday in Mumbai and some who are here now and thank God the buses and trains here at least have proper seating places. They don't have to hang out of the train when they commute. Ask those who commute between Pune and Mumbai daily. Phir boss aur khali phir apun ko bolna ke people work 12 hrs and still have time on their hands. Aap lagre hain Mumbai mein yeh daily commute nahin kiyela hai, bai.
Anyway to each their own idea. India is full of different types of people who have numerous ways of looking at things.

Hey guye and gals as this thread also talks about the hardships newcomers face in geting jobs in consonance with their qualifications- i am including here the story of one guy who finally got a job- just read how. This was printed in this week's South Asian Observer, one of the English language South Asian newspapers here in Toronto. Both sad and amusing in my opinion .
Dear Editor,
A few weeks ago, your paper printed my letter where I stated that I had worked on the team of an MP who got elected to parliament and had urged them to do something about getting people placed in jobs of their field. I had also commented that whenever they said “desi” they actually only meant Punjabi, and that they didn’t care at all about the Pakistanis. Portuguese, Italians, Vietnamese and all other nationalities are also OK, but not non-Punjabi Indians, nor Pakistanis , nor Bangaldeshi nor Sri Lankans.
Please note that weekend I got a phone call from one of the permanent members on the team who told me that he had arranged for four (count them 1,2,3,4) interviews for me. I went for all 4 interviews and was accepted at all 4 companies without a second interview! I was shocked but at the same time very happy. I had previously applied to one of the companies and had been refused. I called my benefactor and thanked him profusely and asked him if he could also place one of my friends. His reply was very blunt. He said he helped me because I had worked to help elect his leader. He couldn’t do anything for my friends! This time I was doubly shocked!
It is now slightly over a month since I started my new job and perhaps I should keep quiet, but my conscience is eating me badly. Despite having a job in my field with more than double the salary I was getting at a giant chain store of electronics, I cannot properly sleep at night. I had come here over a year ago thinking this was a land where one could get ahead with one’s own merit! Instead, I find that the right connections are also needed here like in India. This is terrible. I left India to escape all the favoritism nonsense that is there only to find it prevalent here as well.
Is this what all professional immigrants are supposed to do? Come here and waste away doing low profile jobs until an election comes along, work on a team to elect the aspirant to the House of Commons and wait for him or her to reward us with a job in our field? Will the MPs we elected not fight for us just to help us and the Canadian economy or is it that they are also super selfish like the politicians in India?
I don’t know if the same white forces that helped me get a job will turn dark once they read this letter and strip me of my job, I don’t think they will, but at least I have got what I wanted to say off my chest. Even if they helped one poor soul like me to find a job in my field, the whole method stinks and is totally unjust!
Thanking you,
Kanishka Puttarama
If it was me- I would have shut up and got along with my job and life, but kudos to this guy to bring the whole injustice of it all to our attention.
This is for you also Clint- just as an FYI.

Hey Ottawa nerd- that the guy Kanishka's conscience is eatin' him even I feel is doubtful- but somehow i do believe his story that the MP placed him and has contacts to place 4 people but is not doing it except to help those who help them. What would it have mattered if the team guy placed another of his friends? Uska nam roshan ho jata tha aur uska leader ka aur uska party ka.
Anyway, I don't know what your saw means- People usually go and ask forgiveness after they have committed a sin. 'tis a dull and insipid truism unless I am missing something.

Bidu what I meant was that he finally had time in his hands after using the "sifarshi" route to get a high paying job and was bitchin' around (no rather whining around) abt how his consicience was hurting him !.. Thats my simple honest assesment
