The "Mithya" story of "Satyam"...

Well, "Satyam" has been proved to be a big "Mithya" (lie).. it has been a shocker from the Indian fourth IT major. The revealing facts are scary. Hopefully Satyam is just one of the case. Now the investigation will start.. During investigation, if some other company will be found with the same charge then the IT image of India would be in turmoil...

We have been hearing of the Satyam scam for past 2 days.. How did the company collapse in just 1 day? Let us try to understand how did it all start...

Let us understand this by taking a small example..
Suppose the company is making a profit of Rs. 100 in one quarter.. Mr. Raju manipulated the accounts to show the profit as Rs. 1000. So, Mr. Raju inflated the accounts by Rs. 900. By showing huge profit margin, Satyam was able to attract a lot of investors and a lot of clients in a very short span of time.. So, Satyam did all its expenditures assuming it has got Rs. 1000 (but actually Rs. 900 was missing)... In this process the vacuum kept on increasing... and suddenly one day the company has no money to pay salaries to its employees..

A lot of my friends are working in foreign countries for Satyam . I don't know what will happen to them.. Most likely they will not get their salary for Jan 2009 and it may so happen that they have to buy their return ticket (to India) on their own..

Now the Indian Govt is in action. So hopefully, some private firm will take over the company and all the 53000 employees are saved.. It's very unfortunate to hear the "Mithya" story of "Satyam"...

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...

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 l...
