Outsourcing

Today while getting to work a friend of mine mentioned about a certain team in which all except one person was handed THE PINK SLIP (NOTE: because of recession and not Bangalored ) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bangalored

Main Entry:	bangalored
Part of Speech:	adj
Definition:	laid off due to outsourcing, esp. outsourcing to India or other parts of Asia
Example:	Most of the department was bangalored--their jobs have moved to India.
Etymology:	fr Bangalore's reputation as a high-tech city
Usage:	slang

And the team in Bangalore is intact ( as of now) .So, lets call him Mr.X who is the lone survive of the team here has been relocated to Bangalore ( Yes, you read it right he has been relocated to Bangalore ,India).Poor Mr.X is getting ready to get to Bangalore and resume his work there and is making inquiries around to find out things about Bangalore. There are people who tell him "The moment you set your foot on the land you will get robbed and hustled " .May be he is even googling up stuff like the Pilot from the movie Wall-e "Define Bangalore Define Kannada Define Sambar, idli etc ".

I wonder what is going on in his head about India and moving to India.
Mr.X must have heard about India to be some forest filled with elephants and snake charmers doing the rope trick or may be he is more well read and knows things better. Or may be he feels it is Sazay -e-Kalapani ( It was a punishment when Britishers use to send people from India to Andaman Islands it was more like banishing them off) hmm or may be worst still he may even be considering switching jobs :-) ,applying like crazy to other places.

Hope he moves to Bangalore and has fun.

May be he will have fun or may be he wont but he surely will be mesmerized by the traffic in Bangalore - people making 4 lanes, cyclists maneuvering in between stopped cars, autoriksha walas getting on the foot path to get to the front of the signal( well I feel it is a knack its more like a neural network B-)

All this reminds me of a Simpson's episode about outsourcing have fun watching it.Note : not every things is a fact here for instance TajMahal is in Agra and not in Bangalore , no elephants on roads and noo rope tricks for sure.
