Which IT revolution powered by congress in the 90s you keep taking about ? Frm employability perspective -
1) up until mid 90s, if you were not doctor or mec/civil engineer , shorthand and typing were still most sought after skills to get into LDC/UDC jobs .
2) Up until 1995 only the uber rich had access to any computers . Few pvt schools had couple of computers .
3) ITO / BPO started sometimes in 97. Thanks to some corporate visionaries and lakhs of graduates who were willing to do any work cause they were tired of trying for clerk
Govt jobs or working as medical reps or affiliate marketing like Japan mattress .
3) Govt gave no help to these corporations. I remember one of the biggest cost for these companies was setting up massive generators cause they could depend upon govt even for that
Some of them in Gurgaon even paid from their own pocket to make roads outide their offices so that people could enter offices during rains .
4) They were the ones who trained people on using computers . Most of the workforce had never touched computer before .
5) The amount of bribe they had to pay to get basic computers and telephony equipments imported for initial set up was crazy .
6) It was only in 2000 when these corporations started generating massive employment and paying taxes that they started demanding
The due and basic support from govt that lead to some support from govt .

I witnessed all this first hand so pls what revolution ????

Most will not believe it but the term “bucket list” did not exist until the release of the 2007 film, The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
We all believe that we have been using this since ages but that’s not true
Reddit confirmed this dumbfounding fact this week, and if you don’t believe them ,as did Oxford English Dictionary, who agree that the phrase was “popularized by the title of the film.”
Our collective blackout around the origins of “bucket list” is one instance of the Mandela Effect—a phenomenon that occurs when large groups of people are convinced something happened when it never took place.

A DABHA ON DELHI-SHIMLA ROAD TRIP-
“ Where are you going ". Som asked Pragati , rubbing his eyes as he woke up .
“ Work” .
“ Are you fucking crazy , we have to leave by 2 PM in order to be in Shimla by 10-11 , In time for Kailash’s Baraat “ . Som was almost seething with anger
“ Why the fuck do you bait me when you know I get angry on these dumb fuck decisions of yours”
“ Som its just my first week and it’s a very important meeting – I will be home by 12 max. Oh and I won’t be able to take any calls ok in the meeting, ok . I love you .”
It was already 2.30 when Pragati rang the doorbell. trembling with fear. “I am so sorr. “ . Before she could finish her sentence , Som’s heavy hand landed on her cheeks – her glasses flew off her face – for 2 seconds she could not hear anything as her ear buzzed with the impact

THEY MET ON TWITTER -
Yup , Rohan and Yamini met on twitter and it took them just under a year to move from DM to marriage . Both wanted to take more time before tying the knot but Yamini did not want to wait any longer to have kids . She was adopted kid & although her parents
bought her up like their own , Yamini wanted to have her own family , her own kids , her own flesh and blood. To the extent, that obsession to have kids overshadowed everything else in her life . They had December wedding at Sultanpur farmhouse . One of 50,000 weddings that day
It did not take them even a day to start trying for the baby . But soon they found out it was impossible for her to carry . Adoption / Surrogacy was out of question – “ I want my own flesh and blood “ . There was not a treatment they didn’t tried but nothing worked .

There are five souls who are with me. If you manage to change your views, then they too would be relived . Ypu thought going to Haridwar and conducting funeral will relieve me. I am waiting for Badh tapasaya to be completed .
The family started to prepare for this and actually conducted dry runs before the final day .
The instructions in the diary are macbare to say the least
" Pattiyan achchhe se baandhni hai.. Shunya ke alaawa kuch nahi dikhna chahiye.. Rassi ke saath sooti chunniyan ya sari ka
prayog karna hai.. (Everyone should be blindfolded properly, nothing but zenith should be visible to the eyes. A chunni or a sari should be used along with a rope ),” reads one of the last pages of the diary recovered from the house.

He pushed a few people crowding the narrow lane and took the steps leading to a house, the scene of crime.
What he saw made his stomach churn . In his 17 years at Delhi police , he had never witnessed such scene .
Ten bodies were hanging and blindfolded, while another, the eldest family member Narayani Bhatia, 77, was found strangled in a separate room. The rest, including two 15-year-old boys, allegedly used chunnis with religious motifs and cables to hang themselves.
They were gagged and blindfolded, with hands tied. Cotton buds were found stuffed in their ears. The only one found alive in the house was the family dog, Jacky, who had been sent to the terrace.

THIS IS THE MOST GUT WRENCHING & UNBELIEVABLE STORY I EVER HEARD -
Disclosure - This was sent to me in ramblings & sometimes incoherent sentences as if drunk so I stitched it together in my own words-
" You might think that I am completely cuckoo or suffering with some deep
mental health issues . You might be correct , in fact not a day goes by when I don't try to self diagnose as to which one am I or maybe I am both ? But since you collect these stories and I have not told anyone about it ever , I think this will serve both our purpose .
So here goes nothing -
" I am 30 now and these incidents started when I was 18 . I am from one the richest and quite influential family of Delhi . My mother , even though I say this myself , is and was always a bitch . She was a famous model of her times and only thing
