How high is the price of a paying guest & food outside home?

As admissions in Delhi University are on set again. There goes up the price of rented room accommodations. Think of staying as a paying guest; you are welcome to the world of problems at your end.

This is the time when rented rooms price goes up especially in the campus areas in Delhi. Where price of a bed varies from Rs. 2,000/- - Rs.6, 000/-. It is just a bed not bed and actually it is not even bed it is a place on the floor where u can make your bed.

It is a specially designed package for the students and office goers. If you pay for your bed you ought to pay for many other things. Here goes the rise in budget.

In this multi thought package everyone in the campus area is included right from landlord, tiffin service, grocery store and many other stores.

‘Kabhi chote thai toh mummy kehti thi beta bache ho dukandar thag lega’. Seems a dream has come to reality. These shopkeepers and our dear Mr. Landlord is no less in squeezing money from your pockets. But all your good luck you have to welcome the high the pack of problems and load of money.

But no compromises to our studies & fun in life. Still manages to smile and enjoy life. To adding on to your pains there are some special people landed on from Bihar region. To be correct almost 90% of the campus areas are filled with our dear Bihari’s who have come to Delhi with a high aim of becoming an IAS officer.

If I am not wrong if 60 % of Bihar turns out to be IAS officers then I think the literacy rate of Bihar will rise drastically. And this would be the real end to the problems of LALU ji and Rabri Ji. But why are we talking about them leave them off; one will go mad talking about them. But actually to an extent these are the right people to tackle with our Mr. Landlord who creates loads of problems for us.

Well our problem package is a very exciting package; with scarcity of water in your PG and not anywhere else and especially at your most hard working & enjoyable days. How can you forget stupid people! You are here to work not to enjoy and relax. So get going and start your work on Saturday –Sunday too.

Delhi being a metropolitan does not leave its residents without water for too long but we do at every weekend. Does anyone know the answer? Yes I do because our dear MR. Landlord takes the motor plug off and say there is no water. And you relax and take a chill pill now.

But what does he think that will be the end a big NO. We are clever people we go on terrace and get water from their water tank. Gud na..Well but now he has got aware about this and he has locked his water tank..

Very bad people in Delhi they need to lock up their water tanks on terrace. ‘Arey chor tanki utha kar nahin le gate hain…’

Poor people have no other choice apart from getting up early on weekends too.

With a complete package there goes the water problem, electricity bill problem, and not to forget the cleanliness and fooding problem.

Many of us think getting Tiffin for fooding is a very good option. In hindi we call it as ‘sasta sundar tikau’ but in English we will say that tiffin is merely hopeless. Is that really called as food, I don’t think so. I go mad seeing that food where rice are raw and chapattis are dry and not to forget the hot boiling water dal and mast mix veg.

Amazing delicious food; which is not even liked by our street dogs? Let’s go away my favorite Tiffin service with beautiful cockroaches.

One should be very dutiful to their landlord when it comes to their work. When they use electricity as a paying guest you should divide the total electricity bill into each one and pay to relive off their burden. ‘Big thieves.’

If we take into account our verty own Mr. landlord is earning a handsome sum of money about more than 20,000/month from the rent of a small bed place of 14 girls. And to his privilege we are there to pay an electricity bill of Rs. 400/month for 1 cooler in summers and Rs.500/moth for 1 heater in winters. Great going and great earnings.

Wonderful business na..

I think in future I should buy a house and put it up on rent. A handsome earning. Maintenance bhi free hai.

Badiya hai.

Chalo abhi no more to accommodation lets go and think how to work out with our plan.

THE REAL BRT CORRIDOR MESS & ITS NEW SOLUTION



Here comes the daily morning newspaper and the headlines talk about the troubling BRT corridor.

From not less than a week since the trials and the beginning of work in BRT corridors the trouble is growing more day by day. So, here comes a great deal of work just to overcome with the big fuss of this corridor. The government is spending Rs. 200 crore on constructing a fly-over to get a solution for the Problem of BRT corridor.

That shows the right budget allocation by our democratic government to improve the traffic conditions in the city.

With the construction of the corridor we are certainly left with a deep cry. A chain of accidents and long hours traffic jams are causing a lot of trouble to the public. Recently, a Delhi state corporation crashed into the narrow BRT corridor bus shelter.

Fortunately no one was injured, as almost two minutes before the bus arrived pedestrian way was found crowded with people.

With a view at the bus driver side, the driver blames the brake fail and crashing of bus stand on the faulty corridor designs. Can anyone imagine what if the bus shelter was found crowded? God knows who is really to be blamed the government, designers, constructers or the bus driver?

But are government is still determined to make the BRT corridor work at any cost, The Delhi government is considering the option of building a clover leaf flyover at chirag dilli. This project may cost the government a whopping Rs200 Crore.
But still none is sure that this whopping amount of Rs200 crore would really serve as a solution to the BRT corridor mess.

Let’s join cross our fingers once again as true Delhities and hope for certainly the best.

Naughty Rats

Rat Rat everywhere
Although I am naughty
I disturb your house
I eat the food
I eat your books
I eat your clothes
Make things dirty

You don’t complain

Try to catch me
Try to kill me
Put all your efforts
But still I am there

I am the new mouse
The modern IT technology mouse
Nothing will happen to me
So don’t think of killing me.

I am naughty very naughty
But if you don’t disturb me,
I will not disturb you
Let me feel my freedom
Don’t try to catch me
Don’t show your dominance
You humans are big- we are small

But remember a needle can also kill an elephant.

So, live & let me live.


"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

ATTRITION RATE

Beside Innovative HR practices and many policies for employees the Attrition Bug has spread its wings all over the IT industry. Companies are continuously seeing the rise in number of outgoing employees than the incoming. There is a dearth of skilled workers in the industry. Employees today are just looking for a better remuneration, work satisfaction, good brand name and employee satisfaction policies etc.

Big companies are facing this as a perennial problem today where demand for high salary is more prevalent in IT companies.

Rise in attrition rate may lead to many problems in a company be it for a HR of company or work structure of company. At an immediate end it raises the cost of recruitment and training the new employee. Along with various losses like rise in no. of errors, client satisfaction goes down with error rise, speed of work gets slow and all this result in loss of client trust which is the main fact for a company to achieve success.

What everyone works for is success & profit. And companies can’t afford loosing their clients just at the cost of high attrition rate in company. The question then arises is why is there rise in attrition rate?

Through a survey report the immediate reason for an employ leaving a job is his/her immediate supervisor/manager, the discomfort in atmosphere and finally the rise in salary which every deserving would expect to rise as a part of the encouragement and performance.

Apart from this there are many who would just like to change their job due to the immense measure of dirty office politics growing around. Many don’t want to be involved in this dirt and just enjoy work then why are they being pushed into this trauma of politics just because they are the part of the company.

Companies today are pressurizing their employees to work on Saturdays and complete the targets as some of their colleagues have resigned and the targets for them have risen high. This is the real truth of IT industry. An employee should understand the work constraints but does a company have rights to overload someone with work?

The ultimate result will be new attrition. Is the company prepared for this too?

A company should think about its employees their dedication in work and encourage them by rewarding them and appreciating them for a good performance.

It’s tough for Indian IT companies to meet the new employee demands and also the salary level of multinational counterparts. Indian IT industry requires a change where an open suggestion and feedback should be there rather than the age old hierarchal process which dumps the matters and facts at the place creating grudges between colleagues.

Lest it’s really very easy to find the causes and facts of attrition but we need to find solution to the rising attrition rate which is affecting the Indian IT industry at a very large scale.

One should think of employee’s interest and facilities which creates a comfortable zone for a person to work. The one elusive luxury that every employee tries to find in life is a Work-Life balance. And if he/ she achieve that then the attrition rate would go down to nearly half right at this moment…
