Hi There,
i returned from Paris Last night.It was a lifetime experience..
Just want to share some memories of this City of Romance...
I visited Eiffel Tower in the evening, and spend one hour in the queue, but its all worth... when i reached at the top floor of the tower. its amazing.i found the that most of the people at top floor were Indians, if u shout Bharat Mata Ki....................... i guess there will be a big sound of "Jai.!!"
In the night whole tower glitters with light and its a Awesome view.
mussie de Louwre is the biggest museum of Paris where i saw the actual Monalisa of Leonardo the Vinchy. it was not so special, i think there are so many better paintings thn Monalisa at Louwre. anyways its a Huge Museum with loads of statues and painting.. can spend whole day watching some finest piece of art.
Paris is known as Fashion Capital of the World and Le fayette is the biggest shopping mall of Paris. I have never seen such a huge shopping station.Prada, Armani, Guess, Gucci, versace and what not, u can find world's whose who fashion designers collection there.
Piggale is a huge Red light district of Paris lots of shops where u can see Peep show and Lap dance in few euros.(though i couldn't dare to try anything).Moulin rouge is world's most famous Cabaret dance show is also at Piggale.
ooh i forget to mention Disneyland, Paris. Paris visit would have been incomplete without enjoying it.3 big theme parks and lots of adventurous rides.Walt Disney studio and High school musical show. its so exiting, i didnt want to come back from such a fun island.
Avenue de essylle is a crowded downtown street with electrifying ambiance and some lovely chicks around.
Notre dame church, sacre ceor church are wonderful example of French and Roman architecture.so as the Versille museum.
after the three hectic days in Paris metro, chasing all the spots, i felt at least 1 week is required to see it all. Its a place to visit once in life at least.
I will upload all the photographs soon.
Best Regards,
Prashant

Don't:
- My suggestion is never join TechSupport just for the sake of money coz you will be slugging in wee hours in office and there will be no use of BPO experience in IT industry.
- Donot join NIIT or such courses which guarenty you for a Job, you will waste lots of money without any proper job, unless your dad is an ATM.
Do's:
- Join any small software company if possible in bangalore or in you home town. Just dont think about money but work in standard technology and gain some real time experience. if needed work for free..take my words it worth..
- Prepare for Masters (MBA, GATE etc.) coz in such Job crises it is better to utilise time in completing education rather than wasting time in Job search.
- You can also teach in some institutes for the time being coz you can utilise spare time in studying and can earn side by side.

TCS, Wipro recast hiring plans
AHMEDABAD: As the heat of global slowdown spreads, several players in the IT and ITeS sector have modified recruitment policies, keeping them in sync with the changing market conditions and their pockets. The likes of TCS, Wipro and Keane are either going slow on recruitment or are hiring more number of trained hands. “During 2008, recruitments in IT/ITeS sector has seen a fall of 20-22 % as compared to the same period last year. The players have become more cautious,” says Bangalore-based HR firm Ikya Human Capital Solutions chairman Marcel Parker. “There is a delay in decision making. While most IT firms have deferred their hiring, some have postponed their training programmes. A few have opted for judicious justin-time recruitment process,” Parker told ET. TCS, that recruits about 18,000 employees every year has decided to make significant cuts in recruitment patterns to tide over the crisis. “This year we are not going for any mass recruitment.
We have cut down on at least 20% of the total recruitment,” said a senior HR official of TCS in Gujarat. “Our focus has largely been to hire more experienced candidates than go in for fresh recruits”, the official added. Similarly, international IT firm, Keane is not just going slow on recruitments, but have also adopted a ‘just-in-time-approach’ on hiring. “Since the last three years, we used to hire 30-40 % more people than the previous year. But this year we are sticking to almost the same number of people we recruited last year”, said Keane India senior VP S G Raja Sekharan. “Since January we have already made job offers to 3,000 students, which is in the range of what we had did last year. We do not want to make job offers and scale back (if market conditions deteriorate),” he said. “The confidence level in the markets is low compared to the levels that existed three years back. It is very difficult to forecast where the markets are headed in the recent future,” Mr Sekharan said. IT-giant Wipro has introduced stringent ‘quality measures’ into their hiring pattern. “We have made our process even more stringent and brought in measures to ensure quality of hire. Innovative measures have been introduced including setting up a Talent Quality Group within Talent Acquisition”, said Wipro Talent Acquisition VP Pradeep Bahirwani. In order to hire quality manpower, Wiro has also started campus hiring in US and UK. “We have pioneered programmes like Wipro Academy of Software Excellence (WASE) which helps graduates learn while they work on projects with us. We have an active campus program in India and have also started campus hiring in US and UK,” he said.

Future tense for Merrill, Lehman employees
On Monday, as the news of collapse of Lehman Brothers and takeover of Merrill Lynch trickled into India, top company officials tried in vain to pacify its worried employees.
At 1.30 pm sharp, Merrill Lynch managing director for offshore development Harmeen Mehta told its employees in an assuring tone; “Do not panic. Bank of America has found Merrill Lynch as a better option.” Mehta could be trying to soft-pedal a burning issue, but the fate of hundreds of Merrill Lynch employees in India will be decided in the crucial meeting scheduled tomorrow in Hong Kong.
Even as Merrill Lynch is trying to grapple with its problems, Lehman Brothers, which had hired employees paying the exorbitant salaries, could now become the poaching ground for its competitors. The industry grapevine is that several of Lehman employees have been asked to work from home until further directions.The immediate fallout of the Wall Street bank’s collapse could be an exodus of talent from it. Sources said that big corporate houses have already given offers to Lehman employees.
“Though their salaries are very high, the situation may force them to join a stable domestic financial firm with a substantial cut in their salaries,” according to the CEO of a domestic financial giant.
For a person with 6-7 years experience in the investment banking space, Lehman was paying as high as Rs 50 lakh per annum excluding bonuses. If Lehman manages to retain its employees, it will be with a major cut in salaries and bonuses. Some top-level Lehman employees have already started moving out in anticipation of a global-level lay off.
For instance, Samita Shah, a top-level employee has recently quit Lehman and joined Credit Suisse Investment Bank. Samita was one of the early catches for Lehman when it started India operations.
Lehman has around 1,700 employees in India and Merrill has 600. Lehman Brothers had shutdown its mortgage capital division that employed around 150 employees earlier this year.
With the ills of a major global slowdown getting more pronounced, Merrill Lynch too had recently laid off around 50 people in India. Now, with this takeover, more could lose jobs, as the resultant bigger entity may to further downsize the headcount for economies of scale.
However, there are no major overlaps in the business models of Bank of America (retail-focussed) and Merrill Lynch, which could work in favour of the existing employees. Only corporate lending and fixed income businesses are the two overlapping areas.
“The move is highly beneficial for Merrill Lynch since it marks the marriage of two financial giants,” said an official close to Merrill Lynch.
