Another thing to consider is moving South. Go to Bangalore or Chennai. I was making like $1500 per month for a .NET gig in Chennai in 2007 at a body shop. Nothing fancy. Just some ASP.NET stuff. $100 is way too low. In Kochi, Kerala, even d

Getting 150K and a company board with qualified people on day1 would be very attractive for an H1B engineer like me. So I could bootstrap a startup while having a paid job in a company and if Kima15 invests, this would qualify for an H1B tr

There are two India's now. The 100 million upwardly mobile middle and richer class living in walled inner cities and the 900 million+ poor and desperate people who need all kinds of poverty alleviation that the government can provide.

As a fellow Indian, I just want to point out that this video and any other efforts to develop people-to-people relationships between India and Pakistan have zero effect on the ongoing conflicts between the nations. Indians love Pakistani si

I agree and so does the finance minister and now president of India. He calls it "peanuts" compared to the Indian economy. I should say they should use the aid for Scotland or other god forsaken places in UK. http://www

No sir, are you complaining about the #280 million aid to India? That's a pittance to the 1.8 trillion dollar and growing economy India is. Sure there are poor people. But we are a growing economy and have a greater need for technology

I wish there where campaigns against exploitative child labor in US and western world. So if a given country's minimum wages are low and they seem to be exporting a lot, the campaign could call for Boycott of products from the country

A simple explanation would be extra scrutiny for the answer paper evaluators when marks go beyond 80. That might determine the difference between getting home/hotel at 5:00 P.M or sitting with the supervisor, painstakingly cross checking e
