Govt plans new norms for IT/BPO Staff
Something makes me wonder what is our Health Minister upto? Can this guy focus on developing the standard of health care for this country’s citizens instead of getting involved with everything that he should not be?
So now we have Dr. Ramadoss saying that IT professionals (including BPO employees) get huge salaries but “don’t know how to spend it”. And then going on with “They maintain a sedentary lifestyle. They smoke, go for late night parties and some even take drugs”
Now I don’t know what prompted the minister to jump to such a gross over-generalization, but I guess it would be better if he focussed his energies on improving the health care standards instead of raking up a new controversy every week.
And, oh it would be nice to see a government that does not treat adults as kids who need supervision. And would leave adults to make their own choices instead of ministers’ imposing their views on what is good and what is not.

heheh.. this particular politician is typical of a breed of politicians like: Arjun Singh, Renuka Chowdhry, Priyaranjan Das Munshi.
Health Minister does not talk about dismal state of govt. hostpitals, rural healthcare.
Renuka Chowdhry does not talk of rural womenfolk, malnutrition among poor kids.
P R Dasmunshi, does not talk of sorry state of doordarshan, and trying to use it for education.
But they ALL talk about HighEnd Health Care, Well-heeled women laws, junk-food laws (affecting 1% of popln.), and banning FTV, AXN and its kinds.
Polpulist CRAP. They deserve to be thrown out of their ministries, far from heading them.

Actually everyone has the right to do whatever he/she wishes to. The thing is that everyone needs to feel happy and they just do anything the way they want it to do..
