Wish comes true! December 30, 2004
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , 2 commentsHey, check the time I wrote the below post, around 2 in the noon.. and an hour later a mail dispatches from the HR department, asking each of us to contribute one day’s pay. 
Looks like, they heard me and acted upon it sooner. 
My small contribution is on its way to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund. God Bless. Ok God, now comes my next wish….
Why do things work the way they do?
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , add a commentSome things suck! I really hate the way things work at some times. Consider this TSUNAMI, for example. How many corporates have gone out of their way to help these victims. Hardly a handful. A simple example could be the current place where I work. For the the uninitiated, I work with one of India’s largest company. We have a workforce close to 80,000 people. We may not be the most successful one this quarter but we are definitely BIG. Then how come we are not doing anything to these Tsunami victims. Really sad the way things are!
If the firm had said. Ok, so all u folks, we are cutting ur 1 hr (mind u, just an hour not even a day!) pay and sending the total amount to help these ravaged victims. Wow, that would be something.. even if we assume an average of 100 bux then the total amount will be close to a staggering 80,00,000 Rupees. Phew! That would be sucha help to so many people out there. Why doesnt corporates work this way!! I guess its about time that firms actually went beyond the ‘corporate-social’ responsibility farce and actually work on something concrete. I guess at these times, you dont have to be overly creative but a little passionate about the social environment u live in.
