Eye Grabbers   

I was asking myself this question after a while since i started to work here in US.I always felt that work as a quantity is valued more in India and less with respect to quality.Does it really matter to just stay on and on and on.How much is my personal life valued ?. I had done lot of night outs,my day clock always runs a bit slow in the morning ;) ,few weekends where i come to work,all in India only.I remember one of my managers expected me to work over weekend and preferred over others for me being single :).What the fcuk ?.Dont single guys have a personal life,can they not enjoy their weekends.Not sure how many will echo my emotional outburst :).Thinking of it,iam perflexed if being an consultant now,meant a Mayan civilization.As such do we understand consulting in India or otherwise ?.I would however reserve this as a personal viewpoint.I hope we can but more often than not we hail ourself as being flexible timers on work and drag ourselves to midnight.Though to me work from home is a mere absurd,i have really not heard several instances of the same in my home land.Can i work between 9-5 in India ?.Can i say no to work in weekends ?.Why is it said that,they say you are paid 9L and you should stay long hours ?.Not really sure.All these questions remain unanswered in my mind.IT as a whole is hailed a lot in India but the ethics,culture,work style may have to improve a bit.Job outsourcing ah ???.I hope just the mere presence is not the proof :).
