is there really difference in working behavior of people based on different regions of India?

I always thought that every people reaction would be similar if he would face similar kind of problem in similar environment. But after few years of working in the industry my perception has been changed about my thought itself. I actually found that people do behave differently on similar problem they have to tackle.

But after working for more than five years in the industry, what i really learned is quite interesting as well as shocking. That interesting thing i found that, Based on the region of the person, working behavior differs very much towards their assigned responsibility and job. for example, two people who are from two different regions are working for similar kind of job in an organization, let's say in finance dept. Their way of handling the people and their job will be totally different. And i noticed this a lot if two persons are from North & South respectively.

I am not sure about others but i feel, people from north are more egoistic and hence they either try to accomplish their job in perfect manner or don;t do that at all. But this is not true in case of people from south. All in all, due to that reason i prefer north based people rather than south based.

Why large company buys a small company?

Vinny Carpenter’s blog: "Every time a large company buys a small company, I almost always flashback to a meeting I had in July 2000 with Paul Butterworth, who was then the CTO of Sun’s tools division. Paul had joined Sun as part of Sun’s acquisition of Forte Software. Paul Butterworth was the founder of Forte Software and spent a few months at Sun before moving on and starting AmberPoint, which is doing some really cool things. Not sure how many remember Forte Software, but Forte was the maker of a 4GL programming language called TOOL with a pretty cool n-tier architecture. Instead of using anything that Forte had, Sun decided to buy NetBeans and just use the name Forte for its tools. What a joke – billions of shareholder dollars wasted but that’s history now.
Any rate, a group of us got to spend an afternoon with Paul as part of a client visit. As we were quizzing him on why Sun bought Forte, he said something that’s still with me and rings true in most acquisitions. He theorized that large companies are always amazed at all the innovation coming from small companies and so they buy these small companies in hopes of bringing the small company magic into the larger company - and that almost never works as the small companies were innovative because they weren’t constrained by all the big company process, policies and red-tape. The minute the small company joins the large company, innovation stops as people that could have been creative and really stretched were now constrained by all the big company bureaucracy."

Importance of clear communication

Sometime when we communicate to people surrounding to us, we felt that whatever we are communicating to them, they are getting it completely. But when we try to communicate further on the same topic we have discussed few days back, we came to know they they could not get the discussion even half at that time.

Similar case has been happened with me when I was chatting with my client on Skype. We have discussed some functionality and both came to conclusion that we have understood completely. But when I was trying to rediscuss the same thing for some clarification, I came to know that our perspective were not matching at that time.

The reason for this mismatch in communication was, He was assuming that I already have that kind of mindtest in which he live. So he didn;t explain the details about that. And that causes the confusion.

Anyway I have learned one more thing from this, Listen carefully to other and also document whatever discussion has been happened. Review it again for better understanding and ask about clarification without any hesitation. Through this way only we can avoid the mis-communication.

These days, I am enjoying my holidays in my friend house in Karol Bagh. Here everything that you need is very close to house. So we never have to think twice.

Here is also one school in front of the house. In this school every morning one can see children playing, exercising and performing lot of extra curricular activities. One morning i saw group of children performing Yogic exercises. Everyone was performing Suryasana very well except their Instructor. In fact she was the one who was not doing yoga at all. Also her body structure was also explaining that she can't do yogic exercise, but she was instructing whole group of children to do yogic exercises.

After seeing this, the thought came to my mind was, how can be possible to learn from an instructor who does not have any knowledge of the subject that he/she was instructing.

I also discussed same thing with my friend, according to him, "Here, we don't assign the job to a person who is capable for that, instead always assign job to a person that we know is not capable but expect from that person to do well in that job."

Selecting a suitable organization

Although title seems that it is going to explain how to select a suitable organization to work, when you have expertise in one area and want to pursue your career in that area only for long run. But in fact it puts up questions rather than giving answers before selecting a suitable organization. Here in this case i am taking an example of my close colleague. It might be same for others too who has the same feeling as he had.

Right now after working in IT industry over 4.5 years in J2EE platform, He has decided that he is going to continue his career in JAVA only. But since last few months people who were leading the project wants him to leave the JAVA and enter into build and installer area that he was not looking for. So things happened like, he have to leave the projects.

Now these days he is looking for suitable opportunity that should be well aligned with his career goals. But some time he got confused weather he should go for managerial area or technical area.

So If any one has suggestion on his situation please make comment. People who had already faced that phase are most welcome to comment on this.
