It was just about a week back that I was reading a few articles in the Economic Times about South India. It was a complete feature about the four Southern States that are actually rocking the shit out of the North - in terms of growth, employment, contribution to GDP - you name it and the South on a totally different graph compared to the North. This was the new Great Indian Divide.
Madras is the number one destination for healthcare and Tamil Nadu has the largest number of engineers graduating every year.
Madras has the largest number of bloggers. Its called the Mecca of Indian Bloggers.
Madras has the highest number of internet users out of all the major cities in South India.
And yeah, there are bits of information about Bangalore and Hyderabad as well. most of the information was definitely an eye-opener. South India contributes to 25% of the country's national domestic product. South India alone has a GDP ranking of 29 on the global rankings ahead of Ireland, Iran and Finland.
Coming back to Campus Chronicles, nothing funny has happened as yet. The shortlists have started flowing in. Looking at the way things are going, I am confident that by day one, atleast 300 people will have shortlists for some company or the other. and the rest will definitely get it as the next day comes. so you know, its not that far away. the companies are pretty smart too - especially the milk-round recruiters. they have come up with postings that have stunned everyone. each of these companies have created atleast 20 jobs with the weirdest of names. one such job posting that is worth mentioning is opportunity manager and business explosion team - know what that really means only to the companies, but it definitely means something different to the onlooker.
The next thing you will hear if you are on campus is how people will start talking about the changing interest rates and inflation and other related things. they will try and bring a connection of all these macroeconomic factors to anything and everything happenign around them.
by the way, this is something i thought i must share with all of you - we got a statistic on campus about the kind of savings all the 418 students have made for their previous companies in the last so many years of their work experience. the total amount if added to the GDP of the country would bring the GDP up by about half a percent!!!
i think they always say - say it with Poetry. So, the first time I decided to write one and the rhymes rolled, they rolled around my head and my mind started spinning for a while. it wasnt love, it was the headache. the outcome - "i love you. i love your shoe. i like your hat. have you got a cat?" you know what that could have ended up in for me. it was time to find love again.
anyway, its all in the game. i found this rather offensive poem on the web today. its hilarious, atleast i think that way.
If I were a dog, And you were a flower,
I'd lift up my leg, And give you a shower.
