Long nights, no sleep My life’s down and deep Weekends, no cash No party, no bash Too much bills And life kills Inflation, expenses Empties my purses No birds, No love Life’s like a hot stove Incentives, Pay hike Not enough to buy a bike Darkness, no light Never been in a flight Maintenance and house rent These days I avoid the restaurants Hard work, tiring days Doesn’t give good pays Poor health, high stress My life has become a mess No speed, no cars At night, I glance the stars No smoke, no drinks Slowly my ship sinks No friends, no play Some enemies do slay To God I pray Not to make my hair grey Bad days, cruel boss My profession goes for a toss High tax, bad loans Almost I look a clown No gifts, no luck In the middle, I’m stuck Vacations and Beaches Far out from my reaches No US, No UK Right here I am not OK Dull life, no colours All day, painful hours No Dollars, No Euros I’m ...

Clients are expecting to cut down costs and are requiring lots of value added services for the costs incurred. Non performers are getting ousted. Freshers are expected to replace laterals and even lateral hires are paid less. The hike that the industry expects while lateral hiring is not happening. Even for those who have been continuing with the same organization is seeing less hike per year. The industry's future looks gloomy as most of the college students are skipping Engg. and seeking other studies. Onsite opportunities are getting less and people...
