Happy Friendship Day

To all my friends:


Don’t walk ahead of me, I may not follow

Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead

Be my friend and walk with me.


Wish you all a happy friendship day.


Cheers,

Meet the Techies - Episode 2

Hi Friends,

Welcome back to the second episode of “Meet the Techies”!

Continuing our analysis further we have identified that the introduction of IT culture in the cities has raised the lifestyle and culture of the city. People (Techies of course) have become more advanced and more lavish. What used to be the means of lavishness of their ancestors have become their basic needs. So we found that the meaning of different classes of societies has changed in IT cities. Based on the monthly income we can roughly categorize the various classes of society in the following manner:


Monthly Income Range (Rupees)

Class

Above 2L

Higher class

1.25L – 2L

Higher middle class

80k – 1.25L

Middle class

40k – 80k

Lower middle class

25k – 40k

Lower class

Below 25k

Not allowed to live

In the second part of the article we will talk about a category of techie, which we had missed in the first article. And so we take the privilege to not just name this particular type of techie rather we will write few words in their honor. So friends please welcome the ‘Branded Techie’. We will not utter much about them as it is better to know the reason for them being branded techie from them only. Let’s listen to what they use to say:

“Hey! I lost my Red Tape shoes in the train.”

“Shit Yaar! I forgot to bring my touch screen HTC mobile today.” (How many mobiles do you have?)

“Hi! What you did last weekend? I had done some time pass, did shopping worth Rs 10000 and bought a Lee Cooper Jeans, Nike Shoes….. ” (Me: Wait dear you asked me and explaining your shopping details, this is not done)

“See the pictures taken by my XYZ camera!” (Dear tell me whose pictures are these!)

So by this time you might have identified one branded techie around you, isn’t it? These branded techies remind us about one Santa Banta joke but that we cannot publish here maintaining the decorum of the forum.

We will be back with more explorations on this. Please let us know your comments and suggestions on this series of article.

Cheers,

Kanishk & Kamlesh
