Ask Indian Techies About 'Onshore Insourcing'

Posted by Roblimo on from the halfway-around-the-world-in-20-hours dept.

This Slashdot interview has a little twist to it. Instead of using email, I'm going to relay your questions 'live' to people I meet while I'm here in New Delhi, speaking at LinuxAsia2004. Offshore outsourcing has gotten a lot of attention on Slashdot (and NewsForge) lately, but I figure that from this end we ought to call it 'onshore insourcing' instead. Feel free to ask other questions about 'geek life' in India, too; I'll ask as many questions as I can of as many people as I can, and post their answers when I'm back in the U.S.

    I am an Indian and currently working for Tata Consultancy Services Ltd...

    I'm an American and I work for ta-tas, but more indirectly. Here's the process:

    Short-term approach:
    - I work for my paycheck.
    - I take the paycheck and go to strip clubs to check out the ta-tas.

    Long-term approach:
    - I take some of that paycheck (that would normally go to strip clubs) and get hair cuts, buy shampoo, clean the crust out of my eyes and generally make myself more acceptable to society.
    - I use my newfound cleanliness and try to get free ta-tas in the form of a girlfriend.

    I've found that the short-term approach is much more fruitful and takes less effort... :)
