Work from home..

I've a very strong feeling that the usage of modern technology will take India to the next level. The sooner we implement, the better for country..
These days Work From Home culture is a reality. In India, some MNCs and Indian IT companies have adopted this culture. However, majority of the chunk have not yet adopted.

Let us understand how the 'WORK FROM HOME' culture can be implemented in all the iT companies:

1. Work: People can work through VPN connection using office laptop.
2. Meeting: By using dedicated bridge, all employees can attend meetings through phone.
3. Presentation: Many softwares are available e.g. 'Windows Meeting Space' can be used for any kind of online demonstration.
4. Video conference: SKYPE can be used for video conference.

Advantages:
a) There will be less traffic on road
b) Less cubicles are required in office space
c) People will save money from fuel expenditure and many more..

Disadvantages:
a) Initial infrastructure cost e.g. providing laptops to employees
b) Some job loss in the ancillary area like cafeteria, transportation staffs etc.

It's a matter of pracitising.. If we'll practise, slowly we'll adopt to the WORK FROM HOME culture. Overall, it's a win-win situation for both employer and employees.

Thanks,

Nice thought. But I feel this will not be fruitful on day to day basis. Yeah we can adapt this once or twice a week but not everyday. The reason behind this is:

1) After you work 9 to 10 hours in office you come back home and feel relax. If you spend the whole day at home; again you will feel like running out of home.
2)If you go to office you will learn and gain lots of things like dressing sense, how to converse, how to present yourself etc etc.
3) In office we not only talk about our work but also on other topics in that way we will gain more knowledge on other spheres also apart from our work. And also learn how to socialise which will be less if we sit at home all day.
4)The very true disater which you have mentioned is many will lose their job and many will not get the job. If their will be no infrastructure there will not be any construction. And if there is no construction then what the labors will do ??

The solution for traffic jam is not to work from home but a better road plan, to make the road wider and a good strategy to divert the traffic. And there should be reasonable density of population in every city and town.
We should now focus on small towns and villages so that people would love to stay there and be happy with their work.
Hope you would agree with me.

@Lopa,
I completely agree to your point that this is not for everyday.. However, the work from home culture can be implemented with some protocols.. like the employee can take N number of days as WFH.. Also it should be implemented on role wise..

Thanks!

UHAULing.... in US...

In this blog let me share my experience of shifting home in America... You have to do the following activities for shifting your home... 1) Buy the card board boxes and pack your stuffs on your own... 2) Rent a truck to shift your stuff from one place to other and you have to drive that truck on your own. That truck is provided by a company called UHAUL. 3) Place all your stuffs inside the truck on your own. So, you have to carry your sofa, bed etc on your own. Therefore, you have to be a body builder to do all these activities. Remember, here there is no human labour to help you out. If you are hiring human labour then be ready to pay a hefty amount. 4) OK... All the stuffs are now packed and placed inside the truck. Now drive the truck on your own. 5) Reach the destination. 6) Unload all the stuffs.... Again on your own... 7) Return the truck to UHAUL (company) and pay the rental... 8) Your shifting is done... Cool..... That's how you have to live in USA. So, life is very easy he

A way to give back...

Giving back to the society??? This sentence sounds a bit odd.. Yes, because we always believe in taking from the society... and we have taken it for granted that we'll always take from the society... Since our arrival to this beautiful world, we have taken almost everything from the society... It may be good education, good job or a safe and healthy society... and we assume that building a good society is the responsibility of Govt... Yes, you are right.. however, our country is a developing country.. not a developed country... Govt is doing its work at its pace... and since our country is one of the most populous country in the world, a lot of unprivileged people are there in the society.. unfortunately they are deprived from everything... they also don't get their basic school education... That's why the role of privileged people become very vital... Under current scenario, all the privileged people should raise their hand to support the unprivileged people.. We may argue
