Outsourcing Works, So India Is Exporting Jobs

2007-12-11T18:34:00.000Z

I found this on NYTimes, verry interesting article.

"MYSORE, India — Thousands of Indians report to Infosys Technologies’ campus here to learn the finer points of programming. Lately, though, packs of foreigners have been roaming the manicured lawns, too.

Pavel Horesji for The New York Times

Infosys employs workers in Brno, Czech Republic.

Many of them are recent American college graduates, and some have even turned down job offers from coveted employers like Google. Instead, they accepted a novel assignment from Infosys, the Indian technology giant: fly here for six months of training, then return home to work in the company’s American back offices.

India is outsourcing outsourcing.

One of the constants of the global economy has been companies moving their tasks — and jobs — to India. But rising wages and a stronger currency here, demands for workers who speak languages other than English, and competition from countries looking to emulate India’s success as a back office — including China, Morocco and Mexico — are challenging that model...."

Les regles au proche orient

2006-07-25T10:15:00.000Z

Règle numéro 1 : Au Proche Orient, ce sont toujours les arabes qui attaquent les premiers et c'est toujours Israël qui se défend. Cela s'appelle des représailles.

Règle numéro 2 : Les arabes, Palestiniens ou Libanais n'ont pas le droit de tuer des civils de l'autre camp. Cela s'appelle du terrorisme.

Règle numéro 3 : Israël a le droit de tuer les civils arabes. Cela s'appelle de la légitime défense.

Règle numéro 4 : Quand Israël tue trop de civils, les puissances occidentales l'appellent à la retenue. Cela s'appelle la réaction de la communauté internationale.

Règle numéro 5 : Les Palestiniens et les libanais n'ont pas le droit de capturer des militaires israéliens, même si leur nombre est très limité et ne dépassent pas trois soldats.

Règle numéro 6 : Les israéliens ont le droit d'enlever autant de palestiniens qu'ils le souhaitent (environ 10000 prisonniers à ce jours dont près de 300 enfants). Il n'y a aucune limite et n'ont besoin d'apporter aucune preuve de la culpabilité des personnes enlevées. Il suffit juste de dire le mot magique "terroriste".

Règle numéro 7 : Quand vous dites "Hezbollah", il faut toujours rajouter l'expression « soutenu par la Syrie et l'Iran ».

Règle numéro 8 : Quand vous dites "Israël", Il ne faut surtout pas rajouter après : « soutenu par les etats-Unis, la France et l'Europe », car on pourrait croire qu'il s'agit d'un conflit déséquilibré.

Règle numéro 9 : Ne jamais parler de "Territoires occupés ", ni de résolutions de l'ONU, ni de violations du droit international, ni des conventions de Genève. Cela risque de perturber le téléspectateur et l'auditeur de France Info.

Règle numéro 10 : Les israéliens parlent mieux le français que les arabes. C'est ce qui explique qu'on leur donne, ainsi qu'à leurs partisans, aussi souvent que possible la parole. Ainsi, ils peuvent nous expliquer les règles précédentes (de 1 à 9). Cela s'appelle de la neutralité journalistique.

Règle numéro 11 : Si vous n'êtes pas d'accord avec ses règles ou si vous trouvez qu'elles favorisent une partie dans le conflit contre une autre, c'est que vous êtes un dangereux antisémite.

The systematic destruction of Lebanon by the Israeli army, with the downstream, the protection and the support of the United States, gives to think of all the elite of the Arab world, which thinks and wants to continue to think that occidentalization is an ideal choice for our countries.

Lebanon is one of the most occidentalized Arab countries. It is one of those which gave the most pledges of their adhesion to the Western world. Beirut was aligned on the positions and orientations of the United States. The country made the democratic choice. As wanted it Israel and the United States, Lebanon broke with Syria. In short, the country of the cedar gave all the possible guarantees to be aligned on the Western desideratas. It believed that it could thus continue its rebuilding and that, by doing this, it concluded an implicit alliance with Washington, which would have done of Lebanon one of its protected in the area.

Nothing of all that counted. It was enough to a criminal act, of these acts (which enters civilized countries are treated in a civilized way), so that Israel reduces Lebanon to nothing. What it should be retained it is that in fact the civil populations were taken for target as well as the economic infrastructures which have been just rebuilt.

That indicates a will deliberated well to break any inclination of development and accession in the modern world.

Life as Poker game

2006-07-19T07:25:00.000Z

Parfois la vie me parait comme un jeu de poker, parfois on gagne et parfois on perd.
Toute la subtilité consiste à savoir gérer la victoire ou la défaite, gérer ses émotions, sa colère, sa joie; son amour.

Quand on gagne, on ne trouve pas de problème à continuer à jouer, de toute façon, plus on reste à table, plus on gagne.

Le problème réside dans le cas ou l'on commence à perdre, alors comme au poker, plus tu reste à table plus tu perdras, donc il vaut mieux se retirer des jeux, avant qu'il ne soit trop tard, parce que plus tu reste à table, plus tu perdras. La difficulté est de se dire que l’on doit se retirer, et accepter de perdre un minimum, et surtout ne pas penser que si on continuais à jouer, on gagnera à la fin, c’est faux, la seule chose qui t’attend c’est TA PERTE.

Sauf que dans la vie, on joue avec bien plus chère que l'argent, bien plus précieux que l'or et bien plus rare que le diamant; on joue avec notre âme et notre cœur, et si par malheur quelqu’un les perd,..... pffffffff: prières pour son âme, et condoléance à ses proches sont de rigueur.

Mesdemoiselles Messieurs, j'ai une partie à jouer, mais sachant bien que je perdrais, je crois que je ne vais pas tarder à table, donc attendez moi.

28 years old

2006-05-14T16:57:00.000Z

Already 28 years...
Already old? still young?
For the ones, at 28 years, the man must be married and father (they never speak to you about career).
For others, he is still young for such a responsability.
For me, i live my life, as it comes to me, as I conceive it, sometimes pink, sometimes black, sometimes without color, but alhamdoulillah for the chance i have to be able to enjoy it.
My plans for this year? I have a lot. But as all the world knows, the plans are never respected at 100%. So, forget about plans.
I would be satisfied to live the moment and to taste it.
I will become existantialist? I don't know, but that will not be a bad thing.

Since milking the cow involves nipples the gov't decides to ban all cows in public. The only method to milk a cow is to have a cow in on one side of the curtain and the guy milking the cow on the other or to hire females and train to milk the cows ... the debate is still going on.

You have two cows. Some high gov't official steals one, milks it, sells the milk and pockets the profit. The gov't tells you there is just one cow and not enough milk for the ppl.

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondering in the night what were the chances
We'll be sharing love before the night was thru
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you

Mosquitos in Cairo

2006-04-13T07:08:00.000Z

I had my first experience with the mosquitos of Cairo yesterday evening. They are small but of a frightening effectiveness. With the first heats of spring, or summer, the mosquitos leave as if they were in hibernation, famished, and as they find a victim (it was me) they make you regretted having forgotten insecticide, I could even use DDT now :(

I'm back, for sure

2006-04-11T22:49:00.000Z

I am back of the place where I was, the place where I will be, the place which belongs to me. In verity, I am not return, I only jumped of a life to another while remaining the same (Or i hopes!!! :-) )

Importance of Communication

2005-02-10T21:41:00.000Z

A communication clear and without ambiguity: that can have only one negligible importance in the everyday life, when one communicates with people present physically in same space, and sharing the same culture, because, in addition to the writing or of verbal, the communication is helped by: mimicry, the gestural one, social practices, the place, the light...

But in the case of a virtual call (email, chat, messenger), and with people from differents cultures, the things become more complicated, why?
firstly, the practices different, one or the other does not speak the language well about the other, which can generate misunderstood, and maybe problems.

it is for that, that should be used a simple language, clear and... without ambiguity.

the continuation will come in next posts

Thought of the day

2005-01-23T22:17:00.000Z

The Western world, does not have not forgotten, that no great civilization survived its decline, and with the loss of its values. From Babylon while passing through the Greeks, Roman, phinician, Arabic and othoman. Each action has its reaction, its cause and its consequence. Let us meditate on the past for better living the future one.

The Barometer of economic situation IT in France

2005-01-11T15:32:00.000Z

"The electronic trade appears more than ever as the most carrying sector for the six months to come to the eyes of leaders IT. Whereas 55 % of them voted by plebiscite in June 2004, they are today 61,6 % to be believed in the development of the French E-trade. But the biggest sectoral rise is to be allotted to the mobile services, which make a good of 10,4 points between the end of the first half of 2004 and the beginning of the year 2005. The launching of the 3G at the end of the year weighed certainly in the balance. Publicity and marketing on line continue them also their growth, just as the paying services. On the other hand, the data-processing sectors "the Council" and "Services" are registered in withdrawal of respectively 6,5 points and 5,5 points."

that opens new opportunities to us, for the services delocalization.
