"IT Mein Jaana Hai"

With slowdown worries round the corner, everybody is slamming IT companies these days (some has even made it a point to bitch about IT twice/thrice a day). Nobody is willing to give them a chance and the funny thing is that during these 'defining' times, I am going to start my career with an IT company. People are now saying all kind of things about IT people like they are responsible for soaring real estate prices, for higher salaries and for plastic money. Some even go to the extent of saying that they are responsible for cultural change. Anyways, it won't be surprising if politicians start blaming them for increasing poverty, unemployment as well as inflation.

Even after all this hammering and battering, recently I asked my 20 year old nephew who is in second year of his Mechanical Engineering course that what sort of career he wants for himself? The reply was truly amazing - "IT mein jaana hai". Well, hope his dream doesn't die too soon. At-least I believe in IT and will continue to believe in IT.
