Its a Topsy, Topsy, Turvy, Turvy World

I was just having a discussion with one of my colleague about how do we compare the salaries received in dollars (US, of course!) to the salaries received in India. Is one really better off earning salary on H1b visa.

This article by Dr. Vidyasagar elucidates this and also shatters few commonly held myths.

quite an interesting read.

Recipe for an ideal Life

From the book "India Unbound" by Gurcharan Das:
"The young men took me to their home in Bandra. They had a teenaged brother who had just finished high school. Over dinner that evening he give me his recipe for ideal life. "First, I shall go to IIT, then to IIM, and then get a job in financial or consulting services. Eventually, I want to own and run my own company". "

well..well.. the utopian dream lives on..
