Today, the global BPO industry is worth an estimated 120-150 billion USD; this includes operations which are given to other firms that are in the same country as well as those off shored to other nations. In recent decades, the outsourcing of business processes to cut costs has emerged as an important area in corporate plans, especially in these ominous times of global recession.
India is the world leader in receiving the off shored businesses, particularly from the big western economies, owing largely to the fact that we have a large base of skilled English speaking manpower; but more importantly, because the costs saved by getting the work done in India far outweigh the capital required to actually outsource the workload here, or for that matter, getting it done in the home country.

No, right? I didn’t think so. But sadly, I find myself in a world where people’s lives are being played out live on the internet, fuelled by web-portals like Orkut©, Facebook©, MySpace© & Twitter©.
What might have started out innocently enough as a way to stay in touch has mutated into this sinister monster that we now know as ‘Social Networking’.
So whether it’s your next door neighbour or the third cousin of your friend’s aunt’s daughter, its an open-for-all to blast you with all the happenings in their lives, not only expecting you to give a damn, but also respond with what’s happening in your own!
Have people forgotten how to type e-mails or pick up a phone & dial? People who wouldn’t say ‘Hi’ if they ran into you in the streets suddenly become your best pals on the net!
Recent studies have shown that most people actually prefer to interact with their fellow human sitting in front of a monitor than physically talking to them. |

Slumdog mania has surely caught he world’s imagination like a wild fire.Lavish praises compounded with wards surely makes this movie to watch out for this year. Hats off to the cinematography,music and screenplay. But did India expose itself much more than it deserves?
On second thoughts,is it not the case of exploiting the third world for the pleasure of the first world? India surely didn't get advertised positively through its impoverished depiction. Is India all about Dharavi, blind beggars, prostitution,drug trafficking,mafia and corruption? What about the foreign paedophiles roaming freely in our country then.
