Change Perspective: Working In Bangalore

On this blog I talk a lot about the need for people to be able to see different perspectives on matters. An impressive example of this is shown in the video below
(if you read the RSS feed, you need to visit this post to view). In it an American programmer goes 30 days to Bangalore, India to work over there. He is laid off in the US, his job was outsourced to Bangalore. He starts out with a very angry attitude ("Dude! Give my job back!") and returns with a more mild perspective on things.

If you are from the US (or Europe) this video may be an eye opener. If you are from India, I am interested what your sentiments are regarding this video.

BTW this video might take some time to load. Part 1 and Part 2.

Thanks to Tim Ferris for pointing out this video.

    It is very strange for the local people to relocate for the job and finding job elsewhere where one doesn't know anything about the culture, awareness of the society and psychological mind of the locality. This is really a eye opener for the it people whom job outsourced.
