Beyond the obvious

So here we are, a nation of software engineers... there are dozens of those Indian MNCs doing good business. Suddenly, it seems like these companies have made our population more urbane, more productive and more of everything that we ever want to be. But sadly thats not the truth. These companies have only made our youth more dumb than ever. In one such companies for my internship... just been here for a month and am already feelin suffocated, wasted.. Yeah, they work, they earn, they spend... wat then?
What about the quality of work? What about innovative thought process? What about job satisfaction? Excuse me! did I just make a mistake?!
Most of this working culture, this environment doesnt make sense (to me, that is!) I can guarantee that not more than 10% of the working population is occupied with work for more than half their stay in the office during the day. But you've got to be there.... you stare at the walls, you chat, you snore, you hatch eggs.. no issues; just be there. Nothing to boost your intellect. No interaction ( save it for the once-in-a- bluemoon picnics or parties). The only active interaction I observe here is the kind when someone gets sweets to celebrate an occasion; then the entire department swarms around that person throughout the day. They dont talk the day before, nor the day after. Its like you know.... one night stand. Ugh! Worse than all of these is their work. Most of it is plagiarism. I have no idea if just converting an algorithm into a program and commercializing is one... but am sure it has nothing innovative to do with it. Here, challege lies in finishing your work on time, in overcoming your laziness,in lifting your finger, in staying awake......... Well, over my head!

Sad! Sad! Sad!!
