<b><u>Respect The Recruiter</u></b></div>
An Article on Linkedin<br />
<br />
There was a time when Recruitment companies were like call
centers, and the
recruiters were mere telecallers. Mass mailers and bulk job
postings were the
game deciders. Today the scenario has changed; well, at
least to the serious
players in the business. Recruiters today are Consultants.
They help you choose
a career, they guide you with inputs on the company, and the
role and the USPs
that would help you clinch the deal. A real deal breaker
then, is when the
candidate does not appreciate this, and does not carry the
Respect for the
Recruiter. I'm penning my thoughts on this from a recruiter
perspective. I'm
sorry, if some of it is too candid.<br />
<br />
<strong>1) Be Polite: </strong><br />
They say, politeness is a virtue. No harm in showing that
to a recruiter who
is calling you. Yes, she gets paid for calling you, and it
is her job. But also
remember that YOU are not the only one available for that
job in the market.
You stand a better chance of your CV reaching the HR
manager, by being just a
little polite.<br />
<br />
<strong>2) Tell the Truth</strong><br />
DO NOT lie to the Doctor, Lawyer and the Recruiter. Many
times candidates
hide critical information about their current role, salary
or even if they are
in a job. It cuts a very sorry figure in front of the
client, after they find
out the truth, which will happen inevitably. If you are
truthful, a recruiter
can help you by advising you on how to handle it. A lie is
not going to take you
further.<br />
<br />
<strong>3) Are you even looking for a Job?</strong><br />
Be Sure. Have you made up your mind that you are looking
for a job? .If not,
please be upfront in the first call. It saves a lot of
effort for the recruiter
and yourself. <br />
<br />
<strong>4) Don’t Juggle offers.</strong><br />
If you are in discussions with another client or if you
have another offer
in hand, it is best to tell the recruiter. May be she can
fast track your
interview, or at least she would be upfront with you if her
client would hire
you or not. Playing smart to get the best deal by juggling,
can end up with
empty hands.<br />
<br />
<strong>5) Don’t wait for eternity to decide </strong><br />
Clients work on strict time lines to fill up positions.
Most recruiters face
competition from other recruitment companies for the same
position. You need to
decide fast before the client decides otherwise. Please
don’t keep the
recruiter hanging in balance for eternity while you decide.<br />
<br />
<strong>6) Have Patience</strong><br />
Recruiters will get back to you as soon as they hear from
the client. Please
give them that bit of time. Over follow up may be
counterproductive.
Approaching the client directly through other means will be
an act of
desperation, and may kill your chances.<br />
<br />
<strong>7) Respect the Time: </strong><br />
Most good recruitment consultants are girls, and they don’t
work 24 hours.
It is unfair to ask them to call you at 9.30 in the night
after you have
finished with your day, or on a week end. Don’t expect her
to give you her
mobile number so that you can call her after your work
hours. Respect her and
her time.<br />
<br />
<strong>8) If it is Confidential, it is Confidential </strong><br />
Many clients want the information of a search to be kept
confidential,
mostly because there is an incumbent. Keep it as
confidential when the
recruiter says so. Many time the candidate’s over enthusiasm
to check with the
client on the position falls directly into the incumbents
ear, leaving the HR
and the recruiter red faced. And your CV gets red flagged.<br />
<br />
<strong>9) Help us to Help You</strong><br />
Simple, just keep up to your words. If you have agreed to
go for the
interview, please go on the agreed time. If by any chance
you are unable to go,
please ensure you inform the recruiter well in advance. She
can keep the client
informed. Imagine yourself waiting for a candidate to turn
up for an interview
and being told 15 minutes post the scheduled time that the
candidate won’t reach!!<br />
<br />
<em><b>A recruiter changes your life. Help her to make her
life a little
better.</b></em><br />
I'm sure many more points can get added to this. Look
forward to hearing
from fellow recruiter fraternity and potential candidates.<br />
<br />
Note : I have used feminine gender for recruiter and it was
to address the
vast majority of brilliant recruiters in this industry.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">As we step into the 96<sup>th</sup> year of
celebrating the International Women’s Day, it’s not just the piece of history
of the soviet women aspiring to win respect at their textile industries exactly
a century ago , or how the day is commemorated in south east Asia today . It’s
a point in time to stop and ponder over and think – ‘of how far we have come in
realizing this dream ’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I am no pessimist, but series of
unfortunate events develop one question and the one which does not escape my
mind is,” have we learnt to respect women?” Let me be more specific here. As a
fellow citizen of 120 Crore people comprising 48 percent women, can ‘they’ all
call us a nation of equality?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Traditionally, India has been a patriarchal
society for over 5000 years of its civilization. We now come up with statements
suggesting changes and development, sugarcoated with adjectives that run “women
empowerment” and of how things have gotten better. Maybe-we are all missing the
point here! Statistics that speak of a rape every twenty minutes is not only
shameful and agonizing ,but spells of an unimaginative bear reed character the
men have displayed ever since .</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Yes, not all men would be potentially the
‘rotten fruit’, but the rest should stand up and be counted in supporting the cause.
when I speak of supporting the cause –it ‘simply’ means respecting the views,
priorities and making a conscious effort in motivating women around us . It
isn’t very difficult. Start with your mother – the yoga academy she wants to join,
our sister – the skirts she fancies to college, your wife – the job she wants
to take, your friend – the man she wants to chase, your colleague – the project
she wants to lead. And the men – stop your father if he tries to win terms,
your friend if he’s agony to his girl friend, your neighbor if he’s violence to
his wife. Stop making rapists at home. Before all those decisions and
statements we men make, which do sound harsh, think not once but twice if it’s
going to shred the wings or give them the phoenix’s .</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">There is definitely more to a country than
statistics that speak of violence .And for women who do not find men around to
support you , stand up for yourself for everything – for education , to compete
, to vote, at the workplace , to own , to contraception, to non violence , to a
life . It is about you, about the respect you deserve, and if it’s not being
given – demand and fight. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Throughout our lives, as citizens our India, we have always been claiming our rights. We have luxuriously been enjoying the privileges of a democratic country that allows us to live a peaceful life securing and safeguarding our interests in the best of its form. Though very often, while voicing out our concerns regarding these rights, we tend to forget our fundamental duties as citizens towards this great nation.'Mohe Rang De...' was just a small step taken by iQuesters to make people realize these fundamental duties where various teams participated to perform a street play and reinforced the reason for celebrating Republic day!<big><big><big><big><big><small><small><small><small><small><br /></small></small></small></small></small></big></big></big></big></big></div>

women, we are entitled to some rights by law that protect
us, specially when we have been violated. Here are some that we
should be aware of:</i></span></div>

privacy while recording a statement</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">: Under
section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code, a woman can record her statement
before the district magistrate when the case is under trial, and no one else
needs to be present. Alternatively, she can record the statement with only one
police officer and woman constable in a convenient place that is not crowded
and does not provide any possibility of the statement being overheard by a
fourth person. The police have to, by law, protect the woman’s right to
privacy. It’s important for the person to feel comfortable and not be under any
kind of stress while narrating the incident.</span></div>

not matter</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">: The
police cannot refuse to register an FIR even if a considerable period of time
has elapsed since the incident took place. If the police tells you that they
can’t lodge your FIR since you didn't report it earlier, do not
concede. “Rape is a horrifying incident for any woman, so it’s natural for her
to go into shock and not want to report it immediately. She may also fear for
her safety and the reputation and dignity of her family. For this reason, the
Supreme Court has ruled that the police must register an FIR even if there has
been a gap between the report and the occurrence of the incident,” says Tariq
Abeed, advocate, Supreme Court.</span></div>

cannot refuse</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">: A
victim can register her police complaint from any police station under the Zero
FIR ruling by Supreme Court. “Sometimes, the police station under which the
incident occurs refuses to register the victim’s complaint in order to keep
clear of responsibility, and tries sending the victim to another police
station. In such cases, she has the right to lodge an FIR at any police station
in the city under the Zero FIR ruling. The senior officer will then direct the
SHO of the police station concerned to lodge the FIR,” says Abeed. This is a Supreme
Court ruling that not many women are aware of, so don’t let the SHO of a police
station send you away saying it “doesn't come under his area”.</span></div>

</span></span></span><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">No
arrests after sunset</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">: According
to a Supreme Court ruling, a woman cannot be arrested after sunset and before
sunrise. There are many cases of women being harassed by the police in the wee
hours, but all this can be avoided if you exercise the right of being present
in the police station only during daytime. “Even if there is a woman constable
accompanying the officers, the police can’t arrest a woman at night. In case
the woman has committed a serious crime, the police has to get it in writing
from the magistrate explaining why the arrest is necessary during the night,”
says Bhaumik.</span></div>

cannot be called to the Police Station</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">: Women
cannot be called to the police station for interrogation under Section 160 of
the Criminal Procedure Code. This law provides Indian women the right of not
being physically present at the police station for interrogation. “The police
can interrogate a woman at her residence in the presence of a woman constable
and family members or friends,” says Abeed. So the next time you’re called to
the police station for queries or interrogation when you have faced any kind of
harassment, quote this guideline of the Supreme Court to exercise your right
and remind the cops about it.</span></div>

doctor cannot decide</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">: A
case of rape can’t be dismissed even if the doctor says rape had not taken
place. A victim of rape needs to be medically examined as per Section 164 A of
the Criminal Procedure Code, and only the report can act as proof. “A woman has
the right to have a copy of the medical report from the doctor. Rape is a
crime, not a medical condition. It is a legal term and not a diagnosis to be
made by the medical officer treating the victim. The only statement that can be
made by the medical officer is that there is evidence of recent sexual
activity. Whether the rape has occurred or not is a legal conclusion and the
doctor can’t decide on this,” explains Bhaumik.</span></div>

your identity</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">: Under
no circumstances can the identity of a rape victim be revealed. Neither the
police nor media can make known the name of the victim in public. Section 228-A
of the Indian Penal Code makes the disclosure of a victim’s identity a
punishable offense. Printing or publishing the name or any matter which may
make known the identity of a woman against whom an offence has been committed
is punishable. This is done to prevent social victimization or
ostracism of the victim of a sexual offence. Even while a judgment is in
progress at the high court or a lower court, the name of the victim is not
indicated, she is only described as ‘victim’ in the judgement.</span></div>

is the duty of every employer to create a Sexual Harassment Complaints
Committee within the organisation for redressal of such complaints. According
to a guideline issued by the Supreme Court, it is mandatory for all firms,
public and private, to set up these committees to resolve matters of sexual
harassment. It is also necessary that the committee be headed by a woman and includes
50 per cent women as members. Also, one of the members should be from a women’s
welfare group.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And so another eventful year comes to an end, with lots of memories
we can get ready to usher in a New Year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Around this time, everybody’s got their minds on their‘Grand
Party Plans’ for <b>31<sup>st</sup> night.</b> It’s also a time for people to think up
their <b>New Year resolutions</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
resolutions often range from simple to the exaggerated and sometimes downright
absurd. For some it would be about pledging to lead a healthier life, few others
might resolve to lose their virginity :-)<span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
However the question on everyone’s mind undoubtedly would be
‘What awaits us in 2013?’ Since we survived December 21<sup>st</sup> 2012, what
now for humanity eh??</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I believe things will change, there is likely to be a
collective shift in conscience. We as a country are so off-balance now, the
recent agitations in Delhi, the Anna Hazare movements all point to a rise in
common man’s concern regarding many of the ills that our society faces today.
And when you compare all these happenings, with the so called 21<sup>st</sup>
December 2012 predictions, it makes you wonder whether we human beings really
need stuff like Doomsday. Every day we read and hear about things which make
you wonder whether Armageddon is needed to end the world, or if left to us,
elements of society will think of ways to destroy the world as we know it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At a personal level, can we not pledge to help; bring about
a little more balance to the society? Facts are unnecessary; we all know the
number of lives road accidents claim every year. Many of these incidents are a
result of drunk driving. Festivals and other Celebratory events often present
the greatest risk of such incidents. It’s sad when you go through the
newspapers on 2<sup>nd</sup> January and find plenty of incidents of drunk
driving leading to accidents. Why should we as a society devise ways to take
lives, when cosmic forces have their own plans lined up? There are plenty of
dates predicted for the end of the world. One by one as these dates pass us by;
you cannot help think that one of these may be real. In the meanwhile we can do
our best to preserve life and let nature take its course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Events like New Year’s Eve are for celebrations,
to spread happiness and joy all around. Often for some, the day turns out to be
the worst of their lives.The question here is not one of abstinence, but
responsibility and respect. Respect for others and your own life. All it
requires is a bit of trouble to ensure that the booze, frolic and the tragic do
not go together.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As the saying goes <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Drinking and
driving: there may be stupider things, but it's a very short list.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So, let’s pledge not to
wreck the h<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3579226804434515570" name="_GoBack"></a>olidays</b>. Here’s wishing everybody a happy
and safe New Year. Cheers!!!</div>

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Somehow, not only for Christmas,<br />
but all the long year through,<br />
The joy that you give to others,<br />
Is the joy that comes back to you.</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Christmas, literally meaning the Mass
of Christ, is a traditional holiday in the Christian calendar. The festival of
Christmas takes place on 25th December, every year to celebrate the birth of
Jesus Christ. Christmas is a happy, festive time
filled with great spiritual significance. Caroling, feasting, and gift giving
along with the prayers and wishes - the Christmas is celebrated with high
spirits all over the world. Though the mode of celebration, the dates and the
traditions vary, the main spirit remains the same everywhere.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Celebrating Christmas has nothing to do
with spending a lot of money and having elaborate parties. The biggest
celebrations are the most personal ones spent with people whose company we
love. One of the greatest charm of this
season is the Christmas carols that exudes a spirit of warmth, generosity and
good will that is always welcome everywhere. Christmas carols are always great
for getting into the Christmas spirit. Exuberant people bundle up and get ready
to spread holiday cheer door to door with beautiful Christmas songs & carols.
We had a similar fun of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">caroling</b>
which engulfed the whole of our Kondhwa office, last year with my team singing
along few of the most famous <b>carols<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for
the iQuesters.</b></span> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Tradition Of Gifting is the best
way to celebrate the festive season that make every moment memorable. The day
of Christmas comes with the message of peace for the home, the nation and the
world as Jesus Christ taught the humanity about giving peace and happiness to
others. The effervescent mood of Christmas gets an added zest with the exchange
of gifts, how so ever small or simple it may be. Keeping this in mind, HR &
admin deployed <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“<span style="color: red;">Secret Santa</span>”</b> games
for everyone to create a feeling of Christmas sharing .It involved everyone at
iQuest including our office boys & helping hands who run our daily chores
at work.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Christmas is a festivity most awaited
by children and this has immensely helped in the survival of the legends of
Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus and particularly his reputation as a bringer of
gifts. From stars to bells to ice cream cones to a snowman, all gifts are
inspired by Christmas motifs that infuse joy and happiness. The gift of
Christmas also symbolizes purity and simplicity. The elegance of Christmas
gifts appeals to all taste that bring a glow to the festival.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We had a <span style="color: red;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">surprise Santa Claus</b></span> of<b> iQuest in 2011</b> with our dearest <b>Pratibha Maushi (Housekeeping staff)</b> taking initiative to become the Santa for everyone to
guess who the person really was. She gave chocolates & danced along while
we sang the carols.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I am sure 2012 Christmas is going to be
more special for the ones who have been with us for long as well as for the
ones who had recently joined us in the iQuest family..lots of surpise on the
way, lets look forward to a new beginning , afresh memories to be carved in our

Similarly iQuesters have been nurturing a dream which has grown from a sapling to a large flowering tree for over a decade. As a part of iQuest’s continuous endeavor to serve the society, a blood donation camp was organized on the occasion of iQuest Day. This event, a brainchild of the<strong> Director, Mrs. Usha Upadhyaya and the CEO, Mr. Devesh Upadyaya,</strong> was held in association with the <strong>Sassoon Hospital </strong>at the iQuest Premises in Kondhwa (Pune).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As often said <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘Desire to help needs to be backed up with proper guidance’</i>, the event was conducted under proper hygienic conditions and using the appropriate safety precautions. At the outset, iQuest would like to thank Sasoon Hospital for extending their support and guidance. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">The clarion call was answered with great enthusiasm, the volunteers totaling 55 in number </span>lead by the CEO and the Director themselves. In all 27 iQuesters donated blood, while 22 were declared unfit for donation due to various reasons like less HB, under count or recent menses. This being a noble cause, many first time volunteers put aside their hesitations and apprehensions to lend their full support. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“It has been a wonderful experience, especially for a person like me who has always been Noscomephobic (Fear of Hospitals).Frankly speaking, I feel proud to be a contributor.”</i> says <strong>Rohit Fernandes, BD Head, Kondhwa. </strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those that were unable to participate in the blood donation were actively involved in the arrangements. The delicious snacks spread out for the volunteers ensured that there were more reasons for the glow on everybody’s face than just the good deed. Since it’s inception in June 2000, iQuest has been shouldering the social responsibility of nurturing careers at their nascent stages and serving as a beacon of hope for many working professionals. Similarly iQuest has served as a one-stop solution for fulfilling the Manpower needs for some of the most esteemed companies. On the whole it was an extremely gratifying day, which left a smile on everybody’s face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikJDhJNFobs1qaN66M7XGyv7uoQFybLvV3e-attjM8Ugx1-Q7na9-g-2YCofuqlGUqSFgVuM6MCsYR6Zefy9iv-YkekcxzsVu6B5_4h2P0CXzJER7-Uu4rmkRNcbC5GDdqVkygk_7ivcs/s1600/Bipratip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikJDhJNFobs1qaN66M7XGyv7uoQFybLvV3e-attjM8Ugx1-Q7na9-g-2YCofuqlGUqSFgVuM6MCsYR6Zefy9iv-YkekcxzsVu6B5_4h2P0CXzJER7-Uu4rmkRNcbC5GDdqVkygk_7ivcs/s1600/Bipratip.jpg" /></a></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><strong>Author of the Post: Mr. Bipratip Chakraborthy (HR Intern - Kondwa Branch, Pune)</strong></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><br />

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">One of the immediate action is waste reduction. We have to cut the amount of rubbish to be burned. Do not waste resources. Go on recycling!!! Plastic bottles, cans, and used paper are recycled through a resource recycling center. Give away old clothes to someone or remake them. Do not throw away products only to buy brand new ones, one after another. Bring your own bags when shopping to reduce waste from plastic bags. Turn off unnecessary lights. Use public transportation, ride a bicycle or walk to avoid using your car or motorcycle. When you stop a vehicle for a certain time, turn off the engine to save the fuel. Grow trees and protect forests. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. </div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Protecting nature and resources leads to the prevention of global warming. Slight efforts by each of us will make a big difference. So, the next time you leave your desk, remember to at least switch off your monitor, as the monitor consumes the maximum electricity as compared to any of the other parts of a computer. Remember to switch off lights, fans, air conditioners whenever you are leaving the room or leaving the house. Remember not to print unnecessarily if you can make do with a soft copy on the computer and save paper. Saved paper means saved trees.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">For anybody who is interested in knowing more about global warming, there is an excellent English documentary style movie called <b>“An Inconvenient Truth”</b>. </div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm;"> I am sure you will enjoy it...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmFKrE-50kCPgjkqZGK2X3137Hx6xzbuhyphenhyphennCImAEnCWMj5dbIWHE34GNZnXLEWNLoubM3lISbBgj58mSsrEwmijmuu4h8v5y3vgkCPwngCu2953V400cWH3hHYuaqwoyBGQKqd6D7Gsm4/s1600/Jaishree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmFKrE-50kCPgjkqZGK2X3137Hx6xzbuhyphenhyphennCImAEnCWMj5dbIWHE34GNZnXLEWNLoubM3lISbBgj58mSsrEwmijmuu4h8v5y3vgkCPwngCu2953V400cWH3hHYuaqwoyBGQKqd6D7Gsm4/s1600/Jaishree.jpg" /></a></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm;"><b></b></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm;"><b> Author of the Blog: </b>Ms. Jaishree Mahalingam (Associate Team Lead, Kondwa Branch, Pune)</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm;"> </div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm;"> </div></div>iQuesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01674632620962987353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579226804434515570.post-65453967595264258642011-05-20T09:35:00.000+05:302011-05-20T09:35:41.100+05:30Wake up, before its too late.....<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <style type="text/css">

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">What is global warming? Why is everybody talking about global warming these days? How does saving electricity help cut down global warming? How does saving paper cut down global warming? Why is global warming a problem and even if it is, why should we care about it or take any steps to prevent global warming? If you have ever had any of these questions in your mind, read on and you will know all….</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">During the past 4.6 billion years, the Earth has gone through climate changes over and over. The Earth, a magma ocean at the beginning of its history, has alternately experienced ice ages and warm periods. It is currently in the slow-paced warming period that started 20,000 years ago. </div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">A supercomputer shows that global temperature will increase by about 1 to 5 degree celsius. The temperature rise causes melting of ice caps atop mountains and glaciers in the north and south Polar Regions. This causes sea levels to rise. If the sea level rises, low-lying coastal areas and small islands will be submerged. That would severely affect people living there. It is predicted that a 5 Degree C increase in temperature would melt the complete Greenland ice sheet, resulting in 3-meter sea level rise over the next millennium. Not only that, it would raise sea level by about 7 meters if all the ice on the Earth melted completely. Just imagine what would happen if all the ice on the Earth melted?</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Do you know how the Earth’s temperature rises? Sunlight heats up the ground. The heated ground emits infrared radiation. The ozone layer absorbs the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun and warms the atmosphere. Meanwhile, the air absorbs infrared radiation, warming up the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide (N2O), and chlorofluorocarbons exist in the air. These molecules effectively absorb infrared heat radiation and are called greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases play an important role in keeping our planet at a comfortable temperature without which Earth would be a frozen, ice planet. To put it in layman terms, greenhouse gases are like a “blanket” around the Earth to keep it warm. The problem is an excessive increase of these gases which increases the heat levels as well. You could say it is like being covered by many layers of blankets. The Sun’s heat keeps coming, but the heat is trapped by several layers of blankets and cannot escape making it hotter and hotter on Earth.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Now, you may well ask that if these greenhouse gases already exist in the atmosphere, what can we do to reduce global warming. Many of the greenhouse gases are emitted by human activities. We have to try to reduce the human-originated gas emissions with our efforts and ingenuity. Given below is a pie diagram giving statistics of which activities cause emissions. By reducing emissions, global warming can be prevented.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

Because right from being a Mother and giving you life, to being a Friend and giving you advice and a shoulder to cry on, to being a sister that you bullied and loved nevertheless, to being a sister-in-law that you shared all your secrets with, to being a wife who loved like you never knew love, to being a grandma who told you funny stories about your Dad, to being the colleague that made office so much fun, a woman can do all that and more and make it look so easy! </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And the most unique thing about a woman is her ability to deal with pain – not just physical but also emotional. We, in India, have been brought with a tendency to look down on the women that are going through their monthly biological cycles. Men crib that women get moody during “that time of the month” but that is just the bribe God gave us for making us go through what we do! Well, jokes apart, the fact remains, it is NATURAL. Not like women went and specially asked for it. So it doesn’t cease to amaze me as to why there is such a big stigma attached with it. There are communities in the country that don’t let women cook; don’t let them visit the place of worship; don’t let them go near plants during that time of the month. But what we forget is that THAT is what is marks the beginning of a journey where a girl becomes a lady. It is the phenomenon that says everything is fine and that the lady can someday give birth to another human being. This is probably why the same country also has communities that celebrate this occasion of life. There are states where this stage is celebrated with rituals and presenting of gold to the girl, where there is a proper ceremony and the parents present the girl to the world as a woman. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Being in an industry which is glorified by women, let’s take a pledge this Women’s Day that we will put the negatives of history behind us and be proud of who we are – a Woman! A woman who is capable of everything under the sun – Chairing boardroom meetings, cooking a gourmet meal, getting a makeover, designing and creating the kids’ fancy dress costumes, volunteering at an old age home – all in a day’s work!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Be the kind of woman, that when your feet hit the floor each morning, the Devil says "Oh damn, She's up!"</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">To close, I would like to quote Marianne Williamson, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

</style> <br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>You know how every time that you are at work, you don’t feel like working, just want to laze around and then your boss/supervisor comes and shatters that beautiful image to say “You think your Pappa owns this company!!??!!” </i></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Well, in my case, I can actually turn around and say “Yes!” But that is where MY beautiful image shatters! For all those who thought working in “Pappa’s” company was a piece of cake, clearly never met mine. </i></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>So when I decided to not go down the beaten path of the on-campus placements in the IT industry and do something on my own, little did I know what was in store for me. In an attempt to make me learn things myself and stand on my own two feet immediately, I was given a seemingly simple task – Open an office for iQuest Consultants in Bangalore from scratch. The reason I use the word “seemingly” is that its sounds simple to do that when you just hear it, but ground reality is very different. From deciding the size of the office to bargaining for the rent; from deciding the location of the office to deciding the seating arrangement of it; from haggling with furniture manufacturers to bargaining with computer equipment suppliers; from taking a call on the capacity of the UPS to banging my head with Airtel.. phew!! and the list goes on. But that really wasn’t the biggest challenge. The biggest challenge was actually convincing people (brokers, suppliers, candidates etc) that somebody who looks like me (for all those who don’t know how I look, let’s just say that I have been mistaken for a 16 yr old on more than one occasion) was actually interested in setting up an entire functioning office. </i></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>And thus ensued the long days that had no lunch breaks, no work timings, min 3 hrs of travelling, bike rides behind weird men, sitting alone in office watching the electrician/carpenter make the place look functional, waiting for candidates to turn up, lots of disappointment and at times, tears… </i></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Convincing candidates who turned up for interviews about the credibility of the company was an uphill task. But I am very grateful to the people who did join us and help kick start the operations. There were days when I thought to myself “What have I got myself into!!” </i></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Well, the end result of all of this was 1<sup>st</sup> March, when a proud boss (and father) announced the opening, rather re-opening, of the Bangalore center of iQuest Consultants as we know it today. We have come a very long way from there and this past year has been more of a learning experience for me than my 4 yrs of engineering put together! Anyways, with a small pat on my back and big dreams in my eyes, me and the Bangalore team set our best foot forward to celebrate another year of working hard, laughing, partying, learning and living! Here’s to us and the entire iQuest family! Cheers!!</i></span><br />

Coz it doesn't hurt repeating, but hurts a lot when a news comes about somebody's death or injury because of not wearing helmet. <span style="text-decoration: none;">When we think about motorcycles we think about the feel of the rushing wind in our faces and our hair blowing back behind us. We think about looking cool as we speed down the road. What we don't think about is what happens to the human body when it is involved in a motorcycle collision with a car or </span><span style="text-decoration: none;">a </span>van<span style="text-decoration: none;">. We don't think about the impact of the collision, the body being thrown clear and sliding along the road's surface until it stops on its own or until it encounters a fence or a telephone pole. </span><span style="text-decoration: none;">So<b> </b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">taking importance of helmets in to mind, I carried out a research in iQuest to find out that how may iQuesters have bikes and how many of them wear helmets & save themselves from those heartrending head injuries caused by the fatal accidents.</span></span></div><div align="LEFT" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It was a regular fun filled Friday where one starts the day early, tries and winds up early evening so that one has an entire evening to socialize…Coming back to early winding up of work, sending reports, clicking send receive for the last time for the day hoping no more urgent mail pops up, also religiously addressing those mails so that there are no thoughts haunting over the weekends… by making sure everything has fallen in place I feel so excited to go to the bottom left extreme corner of the window which is a start button, but now to shut down my day's work. The happiness to bid everyone Bye & wishing everyone Happy Weekend is such Bliss, the exhausting week has finally come to an end a genuine smile reflects while waving off for the day. Little did I know what is in store…</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I usually (if not traveling to Mumbai)catch up a new released film, have a quite dinner out with my husband , go back home, catch up some more interesting TV shows and crash on bed late night with a thought “Kal to Saturday hai, arram se uthenge”. The entire “Early to Bed Early to rise… phrase holds no meaning to me Friday night and coming two more days. These days really flies…</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And I hereby get up the Monday morning thinking Gosh! A start of a long week ahead… and I start for office early. And to my dismay I reach to my work station just to find the message attached to the forehead of my Computer Screen “<b>CAUTION: Before starting the comp, go and meet Sir along with Sanober" </b> <style type="text/css">

All my questions were left unanswered. And suddenly Swapnil <span style="font-weight: normal;">(our System Admin in the Kondhwa Branch)</span> clicks my mind, thinking he might solve the mystery. Quickly dial his extension & call him upstairs. And within few seconds I get the answer to all my uninvited Questions. It was a start of a new era within iQuest, Linux had taken over Microsoft. There were trials for few days and soon it followed with the training for all us iQuesters on Linux, Outlook has now taken over by Thunderbird, Excel to Spreadsheet. In a long run how better or at par it would be in comparison with Microsoft is still to be experienced. But yes, all welcomed it with open arms.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
