Why do you assume that the officegoer is invariably male? Isn't that
a rather sexist assumption?
Many women also commute to work from the suburbs every day.

trouble is with whom who can't catch up. Its very true. Aar, neNgta nai

I never drove a car, and living happily, and plan both not to drive a

Sharmila,
May be you remember, the famous Bengali say, "---- naai baatpaDer bhoi".
Chaakri jaabar voi boDo noi, but insecurity is the problem. But a lot of
other things are still arround. One can find another job, if not, go
back to India- the biggest bliss of being Indian (and I didn't change my
nationality, though it would have given me a lot more privilages) is
that, we can always go back to India. and after a Ph.D. in any subject,
one need not die out of hunger, can do a lot of things. Even earn
virtually the same salary as at least in Europe.
I have had the "opportunity" of working in one of the biggest Govt.
sectors in India. OK, the job was secured; I had to come to office at
9.00. And then the rest of the day was free. I could do (and had to do)
everything else other than work. True, I had a good time in roaming
arround from Lodi Gardens to Nijamuddin, to Pragati Maidan to Safdarjung
to RK Puram to IP college to JNU and all that. I even got enough salary
to make me an eligible bachelor, but as an engineer, I didn't have
anything satisfying. After getting bored with 'security' I wanted to
leave the job, which the "President was pleased" not to release me for
another year. And guess what? I jumped this time into a Govt.
undertaking- which promised to have better work! It took three months
for me to decide to leave this job.

E aar notun kotha ki Soumitribabu, we are all aware of `survival of the
fittest'. But that does not rule out the fact that this is indeed a
difficult situation for those who are not so `challenging', and those
people have had enough of sermonizing if you ask me.
aami to taader jonnye onnyo alternative-taao likhechhilaam aamar aager
posting-a. shetaa conveniently kete baad dilen kyano, sharmila debi? if
they don't like this survival of fittest rat race of 'shape in or ship
out' policies, and on top if they had experienced the much calmer
blissful life elsewhere, then there shouldn't be any discontent, isn't
it sharmila debi?
then they should be all in that peaceful land,
enjoying life while counting grains of sand !
surely they shoudn't be hearing anybody's grouchy complain,
'and they can give a fuck to that'--'coz they needn't explain!!
what a life sharmila debi, what a life!
i wonder how people in this rat-race survive?
perhaps they are all subject to that 'not-so-invisible pressure',
but may be at the end of the journey they all would like to measure,
of how much they have taken and given back to this racing society
before they are read their final sermon on their way to mortality!!

Snehasis,
I did not exactly lead to the typical immegrant's line. I've been here
for seven years, represented Finland in UN, and still retain the Indian
passport. The issue is a bit different.
So? How is it different? Didn't you come to Finland
for better oppurtunity and money?
My idea is, there will be stress everywhere; it is like carcinogenics,
everything, even the semen is one. You can't simply avoid it. It depends
both on the environment, and the person. My computer is open virtually
24 hours, I feel its better than my paid holidays in India. And believe
On the other hand I have found that I have got addicted
to E-mail, newsgroups etc. We call India every week. All
these things were not there when I was in India, yet I
was much happier. Technology has only made us more dependent
on it along with ill effects.
me, I stuck to India till the time I felt, I'm getting too rusted and
old to do anything. That was another stress!
I know someone who published 400 papers in India. Many
others have shown promise in business, entrepreneurship,
stock markets whatever...

possible. I do it. I chase my money out in beer and - what not; no

regrets. Some day, I won't feel good here, I'll change some where, if
everything is closed, back to India.
It is upto you...
By the way, you know why Indians relate more to high stress related
deseases? Their sedentary life style. There are about 11 M Indians
living abroad; Have you seen a single sports man of Indian origin?
You'll scratch your head; none. 90% of SCB-ites like to sit and chat, if
nothing else, in SCB.
You probably don't know about these immigrants. Most of
them have an active physical live. Apratim and Soumitri for
example do exercise regularly..
I've a free advice. Its a nice day. Go out and practice jogging for at

I go for swimming about 45 minutes 3/4 times a week. Can't
spend more time than that. It takes time to go to the gym,
change dress, shower etc. etc.

problems. This is for information only (I don't comment further).
What about the stress of fearing about "Aids"?
What if someone's wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend refuse?
What is your opinion on masturbation, Dada?
What about Poita and gaitra mantra?

No. I got bored, and wanted to go some where- to escape from being
another stereotype. I could've gone to the 'Eldorado' much earlier of my
life...

probably you feel more of lonely than being stressed. I do call home
atleast 3 times a week; and its much more costly from here (about
4$/min).

We can't go back from technology- 'dao fire se ornyo- lo-o e nagar'
sounds nice, but not practicable any more (other than blasting all the
nukes in the World at the same time).

You didn't understand. Its not publishing papers. To my understanding,
90% of the 'paper technology' is simply junk. When I for the first time
planned to elope with a girl, I planned to putup a tea business with a
guy; he is haivng a battery business now; and earning more money per
month in the subburb, than what I earn in a year. Another my friends at
that time believed, there was no family planning in China- now one of
the most reputed sergeons in Calcutta. Both he and his wife looks like
'chal-kumDo' sitting on mounds of money, and having nice heart
troubles...Another my frined and his wife are doing softwares, and chids
me what I'm doing sitting in the far corner of the World.
I know all these things. The issue is, I may be good for opnly some
thing, or even nothing! But, surely, I have a definite thought about my
own life. Whatever I do, should fit to this narrow idea about my own
life. This is true for everybody I guess.

That's exactly I mean! Let's imagine some body who commands his own
life, an anarch of his own rights. I'd be happy even vaguely resemble
him. Everything is upto you- no commitments, no contracts, no
compulsions.....
...Upto you....

Sorry to be so personal. And you'll see, things are changed- they won't
relate to high stress deseases, blocked hearts etc.

Oho, I forgot to tell you, t'was a completely dull fortnight here;
cloudy, slushy snow and what not! Last Friday was the first day with
some sunshine! I went for biking (though it was still -5 degree cent.)
the whole day. Stopped for couple of beers at a friend's place, and
started sleeping there.

I envy you. I can't swim, but I'd love to. In '94 I was in Florida keys;
I couldn't go for scuba diving; the captain thrown me out of the boat
when he knew I can't swim.

Hey, that's better than getting a heart attack! At least you have a good
reason ....
Shibram died a bit too early, probably he would've said, if you catch
AIDS, you cure stress ...

Somebody else will agree. And if you're trying somebody else's wife/girl

don't know either!

Not much opnion except that, who in the living intelligent World hasn't

And what about Vivekananda, and Ramakrishna and his mission... as far as
i remember, poite (I had poite for 1 day, 'cause my father agreed to
stand a free feast for my friends and our relatives) was an instrument
foir nice 'swo-pristho-konduyon'. Now that, it is probably also the
"naari mukti-r poth.. ", I guess, pristho-londuyon male race ekchetia

I missed them. In fact, I could see only 3 or 4 Indian movies in the
last 8 years. And after Big B retired, i thought its a sin to go to
Bollywood movies.
