The talk in the cafateria had scared him slightly… everyone was wondering how long this would last.. here they were, just out of college, earning at the start of their careers, more than what their parents did at the end of theirs, enjoying a lifestyle that their parents couldnt have dreamed of, and generally living life to the fullest…
those were the good bits…but the flip side of it was you became a nocturnal creature ( well, depending on the country the client’s audience resided in, the hours varied).. he had heard there were even some local outfits that worked during the day, who dealt with an indian audience, but the pay was pretty bad and besides, they didn’t get free language training, which was a perk he enjoyed… and in case he decided to go there, he would have to unlearn …uhuh, no way, he thought!! besides, he would never get to play the characters he got here… wasnt that what he did everyday, assuming a character who matched the expectations of the audience he was talking to… maintaining a conversation with people he hadn’t seen and would perhaps never see.. pretending to look outside the window and seeing the snow falling( hell, he had never seen snow) or autumn leaves or the colors of the spring.. and generally being someone he wasnt, and would perhaps, never be…he knew most of the people who he dealt with realised all this, but so long as he put up a good front, they were cool with it….
but he wondered how soon all this would start reflecting on his persona.. his language was already a problem with his friends and parents…sometimes he felt frustrated, writing about stuff he had no interest in, replying to comments made by the clients’ audience… maintaining conversations in shoutboxes and tagboards…
he wondered whether the second wave of BPOs would have happened at all – if blogging hadnt become a craze, and once people started, it hadn’t become so addicitive, and after sometime there wasnt a burnout, and in spite of the burnout, people didnt want their blogs to go on.. but all this, did happen, thats why he had a job…
Blogs & Posts Outsourcing, he wondered if this had a future at all!!
until next time, ride the wave….

And… another post that makes one sit back and think. Bordering on the cynical and yet a prospect real enough that I can almost see a movie being made on it! Keep up the good work, more later…
ps: Maybe THIS is the reason why I don’t blog 😀
BPO = BRRRRR !!! frankly speaking..
pitti: movieee.. :D.. but shdnt keep u from blogging.. 🙂
pallavi: isnt it a job like any other??
recently an article had come in TOI that if someone sells American air too, the young in the so called… might buy and breathe that.
