We are shocked at beheading. But what is a rabid enemy supposed to do? Let's keep lectures of humanity for our school kids and send some finest men to avenge our men in more brutal manner. Soak daggers in pig's blood before crossing LOC. Carry out an operation that sends signals of paradigm shift in Indian response henceforth.
Those who know Jihad would understand the significance of pig's blood in Indian operations. Jannat and Pig's blood can't go hand in hand.
Vande Mataram
12 february 2017
2 Jawans martyred in Jammu and Kashmir fighting Jihadi pigs.
Agniveer offered a solution to the Government few years ago. When you are fighting religiously motivated criminals, you need to know their religion first to counterattack.
Now look. According to their holy book, a Jihadi fighting with Kafirs will enter Jannat with all wounds and blood that he died with. So now we know what is to be done. Indian Army must declare that all bullets used in operations in J&K and LOC are dipped in pig's blood. And all future operations will be using similar bullets. Let us see how many Mujahids are ready to face 72 virgins with pig's blood in wounds. Let us see how many Mujahids take up arms in first place.
I don't know what is causing delay in this.
~ Vashi Sharma
PS : Salute to the bravehearts _/\_ Agniveer is committed to avenge your martyrdom. We will do everything possible to destroy Jihad.
2 May 2017
In times of such emergency, it will be unwise to point fingers. Entire nation must stand as one. Few crucial pointers:
1. While enemy attacks from across the border, the hands that power them are inside.
2. While there are practical constraints in dealing with enemy across the border, only our guts and realization of seriousness of matter stop us from acting inside the border.
3. Even if you allocate the entire GDP of India to Kashmir valley, that will not change hearts of those who hate us.
4. The cause of hatred is neither development nor history. The cause of hatred is purely religious. The haters believe that it is their divine duty of hate idol-worshippers and only Jihad can fetch them Paradise.
5. This cult of hatred spread by keeping sword in one hand and holy book on other hand. It can be controlled in exactly same manner – pig's blood soaked sword in one hand, and Bharat Mata ki Pooja on other.
6. One surgical strike is far worse than no surgical strike at all. A little rainfall creates more mud than clean the place. Surgical strikes make sense only when they keep happening – every few days, in every other random place at border, and without provocation.
7. Once enemy has started the war, it is a sin to respond only after a tragedy. The war across LOC started 70 years ago. Now until the enemy is dead, we must continue to bleed it till it dies.
8. Fight war not as per how you will defend in UNO. Slay the rascals as per how you can save the next jawan.
9. Encourage Human Rights activists to cover the alleged atrocity of Indian Army. Next time army plans to attack a terrorist camp, bring along some human rights activists to witness the brutality. Pay them extra to promote it. It will scare away the upcoming terrorists and also human rights activists.
10. Remember, life of a jawan is priceless. They are not pieces of chess. Until we learn the science of bringing a jawan back to life, beheading of a jawan must be the greatest attack on our nationalism and self-respect.
Agniveer offers to provides its skills and everything to government to fight this war against terror. We know the terrorist mind in and out. We have knack of sensing upcoming nonsense. We would be glad if government uses our skills to save the next jawan.

A short drive further
north takes us out of Cornwall and into the neighboring
county of Devon, where we venture into remote
and windswept Dartmoor. Perched on the edge of the moor,
the tiny town of Chagford is an easy home base
for exploring Dartmoor. The small-town atmosphere
here makes you feel like you've stepped
into a time warp. It has a classic
English-village feel with a picturesque church
and cemetery and cozy pubs that double as inns for hikers
to spend the night. One of England's most
popular national parks, Dartmoor is one
of the few truly wild places left in this densely
populated country. A moor is characterized by open
land with scrubby vegetation. England's moors are
vast medieval commons, rare places where all can pass, anyone can graze
their livestock, and, in the case of Dartmoor,
ponies run wild. Dartmoor sits on
a granite plateau, and occasionally
bare granite peaks called "tors" break
through the heather. Rising like lonesome
watch towers, these distinctive landmarks are the goal of popular hikes. Haytor is the most famous
of these rocks. For the tenderfoot,
the climb to its summit can be a challenge. It's not El Capitan,
but it's hard to beat that king-of-the-mountain
feeling and the rewarding views
that come with it. A well-planned walk through
the moors rewards day hikers with vivid memories. Stone-slab clapper bridges,
some medieval, and some even ancient, remind hikers that
for thousands of years, humans have trod
these same paths and forded these same streams. Tall stones guided
early travelers. This one, erected by pagans long before
Christianity arrived, was later carved
into a cross. The iconic ponies
of Dartmoor run wild. Their ancestors
were the working horses of the local miners. Living in the harsh
conditions of the moor, these ponies are a hardy
breed known for their stamina. Today they're beloved
among hikers for the romance they bring to
the otherwise stark terrain. Of the hundreds of neolithic ruins that dot
the Dartmoor landscape, the Scorhill Stone Circle
is my favorite. Tranquil and nearly forgotten, erected some 4,000 years ago by mysterious people
for mysterious reasons, it's yours alone, the way a stone
circle should be. It's just you
and your imagination. Enjoy the quiet. Ponder the 40 centuries
of people who've made this enchanting landscape their home and the wisdom of today's
English to protect it and keep it pristine.

966 A Critical Study on Work-life Balance of BPO Employees in India Smita R. Chavan firstname.lastname@example.com Sinhgad Institute of Management, Pune Balkrushna Potdar firstname.lastname@example.com Sinhgad Business School, Pune 1. Introduction This paper analyses the impact of the outsourcing industry on the society and the individuals in India. Both positive and negative impacts have been analyzed. We focused on the following few major aspects during this study: Health issues Societal issues Personal issues, and Benefits offered, and strategies for work and work ethics. Based on a field survey, views of few employees and employers of this industry have been captured and analyzed. Various health issues that came to light are stress, sleeplessness, and headache, fatigue, sense of exhaustion and lack of concentration, etc. It was also found that a number of factors like hindrance in personal life, physically tiring nature of work, better salary, lack of growth opportunity, in conducive policies and procedures could be some of the reasons for employees to leave the industry/company. Majority of employees complained of headache and digestive disorders. Almost everyone stressed on having provision for power naps of 10-15 minutes. Employees accepted that they enjoy various facilities and benefits provided by the company like Provident Fund, Gratuity, Personal Accidental Insurance; Company leased accommodation, Recreational (like Cafeteria) and other facilities (like ATM, Gym etc), Corporate credit card, Educational Benefits, Performance based incentives, Regular get together and other cultural programs, Employee Referral Schemes and Maternity leave, etc. Employees also accepted that their spending has increased and much of the money is spent in lifestyle products, recreational activities and to support the family. Employees dismissed the aspect of increased professionalism being unique to the BPO industry and said professionalism is pervasive in all sectors. 2. Impact of the BPO Industry Organizations do not work in isolation; they function within the main system of society. Businesses take place by taking the inputs from society in the form of people, capital, resources and gives goods and services as output. These outputs influence the life of people and provide the means of improving the lifestyle. We cannot ignore the effect that the society is largely impacted by businesses of various size and operations. Business process outsourcing is the long term contracting out of non-core business activities to the experts who perform the activities with less cost and more efficiency. Todays business spans the entire globe by their overseas operations and thus they leave a visible change in the societies of various geographies. Like the industrial revolution of the 17th century, the BPO revolution has also brought about a variety of changes in the lives of the people. Business process outsourcing is a strategic choice of the companies when implemented creates numerous advantages such as: Reduction in costs Efficiency in processes Focus on core businesses Relationship with global customers Increased share holder value. A company that outsources is working virtually 24 hrs and catering efficiently to its customers anytime in any part of the world. To enable them working 24 hrs countries like India, Philippines, China etc. diligently work during the nights and ensure better service. International Conference on Technology and Business Management March 28-30, 2011 967 Some of the major cities in India where outsourced activities are undertaken are Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune and Jaipur. Social Impact of the BPO Industry The first step towards understanding the social impact is to understand why India is the most preferred location for business process outsourcing and how the outsourcing industry has changed India to enable it to sustain the position of the most preferred offshore center. Advantage India The products and services are usually significantly cheaper in India compared to US or Europe. While the manpower in India is definitely cheap compared to US or any other developed nation, but manufacturing or service costs are not necessarily very cheap. In India a company typically spends about US $400-$1000 per month on a skilled employee depending on the skill level. This is definitely cheaper compared to same level employee in a developed country. Advantage of Outsourcing to India Cheaper manpower. Cheaper office space (Typically, one sq. foot costs less than $1 per month) Highly skilled workforce (For example, Bangalore is said to have more number of IT engineers than Silicon Valley). On the other hand, the infrastructure and fuel expenses are relatively more in India. Disadvantages Higher fuel and electricity costs. Higher telecom and Internet access charges. Public Infrastructure not up to the mark when compared to developed nations, and the companies need to make their own arrangements (such as back-up power generator etc.) When one tries to study the impact of BPO industry, both individual and societal concerns unfolds. The next section summarizes the impact on society and the individuals. Positive Impact on the Society Advantages that the Indian societies have gained by the outsourcing industry are: Secondary/Indirect Employment Each direct employment in BPO is capable of generating 4-5 times indirect employment opportunity through ancillary industries. Major growth of ancillary industry is seen in the case of real estate, transportation, security, facilities employees creating jobs in the social infrastructure to support BPO employees and their families. Boom in Retail Industry The outsourcing boom has added to more n in the major cities and more jobs have been created. Since the industry pays handsome salaries to the youth, and spending power has increased which has resulted in good business in the retail segments of clothing and related accessories. What has resulted from this is bigger malls, better cars on roads, swanky restaurants, and more brands. Better Infrastructure With the global companies setting up their offshore offices in India to meet the expectations of their clients, providing better infrastructure and support from the government has become essential. Hence the metro cities are evolving in terms of infrastructure facilities, which benefit the societies living the city. Better road and cleaner environment than before has led to healthier environment. Hospitality Industry The hospitality industry is witnessing more business and growth since long stay guests have become a common scene in most of the hotels in major cities. A number of overseas visitors stay in hotels while they are here in India for business. Apart from this when there are contingencies; the employees do not get back to their homes. Instead they stay at hotels and go for work the next day from the hotels. Hence it is seen that this leads to increased business for the hotel industry. Individual Level Benefit At the individual level, it is observed that fresh graduates are able to find better employment after the advent of outsourcing industry. Prior to BPO, young graduates were not offered many jobs because of lack of work experience. Today the educated youth are offered training and based on International Conference on Technology and Business Management March 28-30, 2011 968 their excellence they are paid handsomely. This has a flip side; since more money can be earned through this employment there is a tendency among the youth to turn as spendthrift. The spending pattern has witnessed an increasing trend and many other sectors like the retail and real estate benefit out of this trend. Some of the advantages that can be brought out are: Employment to graduates. Better standard of Life. Enhanced skill of educated youth. Increased professionalism There are certain perceived and real threats of BPO on the lives of the Indian educated youth. Some of the cited negative aspects of this industry are: Deskilling or underutilization of human resources. Increased level of stress than any other industry. Cultural shifts. Increased health problems. Deskilling or Underutilization of Human Resources Since the industry pays more when compared to other industries, young graduates are lured to this employment. In many occasions we see that engineers, graduates of other discipline like commerce, arts and science are not willing to take up higher studies and continue with BPO for better pay reasons. It also dawns on many graduates that they need to visualize a career path for them and if BPO will create stagnation then they need to quit and take up higher studies. On the other hand, many college students are positive of growth in the same industry. We see many science graduates starting their career in a medical transcription company, but after putting a few months of experience they have realized that they are working for pay and realizing their potentials. Increased Stress It is a fact that the life of many employees in this industry is more stressful than others working in other industries. Though the working conditions are good and satisfactory, working in night shifts creates increased health problems. The following are a few facts presented by the industry survey of year 2004 by Dataquest. Long working hours in BPO is a combination of workload, call volume and travel time. Any average agent puts in 11-12 hours of work per day and at times it reaches 14 hours in case of companies that encourage overtime. Operational heads regularly work 17-18 hours per day besides staying back for customer conference calls. Stress due to Work Timing The geographical time difference with the US and the UK gives Indian industry one of the biggest advantages to remain a dominant player in the BPO. Hence the employees have to work in nights for long. This creates stress and causes a drastic change in the activities of body. Stress due to Repetitive Nature of Work Monotony is another important reason for stress. Possible solutions can be hiring retired personnel or housewives, since these groups with more experience tend to get frustrated the least. Since other innovative measures can be periodic job rotation. Stress due to Workload It is argued that even IT services employees have tremendous workload, so why it is that only the BPO employees complain. Though IT services employees work for long and odd hours, the long working hours are interspersed with smoke breaks, coffee breaks or chat with colleagues. Unfortunately, this is not the case in call centers, a fresher gets a little respite, since the first few months on the job involves a lot of training time. Stress due to Insufficient Holidays Most of the employees have to work on Indian holidays. While some companies do celebrate Indian holidays there are a number of small and big call centers, which do not observe Indian holidays. International Conference on Technology and Business Management March 28-30, 2011 969 Stress due to Pressure to Perform on Metrics Every single action in a call center needs to conform to a performance metric. This is because most call centers are keen on different standard certifications. It is more of business necessity for most companies to follow these quantifiable business metrics to attract customers. With experience, the stress level goes down, and more importantly, working on such quantifiable performance parameters helps the employees in their future careers. Stress due to Travel Time Most call centers are located on the outskirts of cities, and therefore most employees spend a long time traveling to and from their offices. Again, this is a unique problem of the Indian industry. Most call centers require large manpower in order to scale up and grow, and to support such huge workforces; they need lot of space. And exorbitant land prices in cities necessitate their movement to the outskirts. Stress due to Call Volumes While the overall workload is quite high, call volume itself is proving to be a major cause of stress. In most call centers, there is hardly any respite between two calls. Stress Caused due to Overtime Though most companies encourage overtime with incentives, this can be a major reason for stress. Initially, freshers who are willing overtime for making more money feel stressed once they are into it and performing. Overtime, along with long working hours and travel time, is turning out to be a potent combination, causing call center related stresses. Health Problems The consequences of stressful work are health related problems, which eventually leads to quitting of job or quitting the industry. We witness high attrition rates of around 30-40% in this industry. Some of the health issues are: Tension Sleeplessness Headaches Eye-strain Repetitive strain injury (RSI) Voice loss, hearing problems and burn-out. Sleeping Disorders One major severe ailment afflicting people working in Indian call centers is the sleeping disorder. Not only the freshers, even the experienced managers are unable to escape it. Some call centers are looking at devising innovative mechanisms like flexible shifts with sleeping arrangements in the office premises. Digestive System Related Problems Working long hours and odd hours without any sleep, ad eating food supplied by external caterers every day, has led to employees suffering from digestive disorders. Especially for the large number of girls working in the industry, the problem is even more severe. Many call centers are now taking additional care to ensure their caterers supply hygienic food; besides stipulating strict conditions to maintain the quality of the food they serve. Depression The gradual realization that there are limited scopes in developing a career owing to fewer growth opportunities is increasing the frustration levels in the BPO industry. Coupled with growing mental fatigue and increasingly punishing physical environments, depression is the obvious end result. Some call centers have now devised different stress management programs mainly to counter depression. Eyesight Problems Globally call center employees are considered a high risk group for eye related problems. While the quality of monitors might impact these disorders, sitting continually without adequate breaks seems to be the truerer reason. While this is already a problem in the IT industry, which some companies have overcome by use of anti-glare monitors. International Conference on Technology and Business Management March 28-30, 2011 970 Hearing Ailments A call center job invokes taking calls throughout the shift, sitting with headphones. While quality of headphones does make a difference, it would not be appropriate to say that good quality of headphones can solve this problem; it is more to do with giving rest between calls. Cultural Shifts Though on one side we learn to become as professional as western world executives some other disturbing issues are arising. One such serious issue is the personal habits that have undergone a considerable change. The personal habits, discipline and behavioral issues and detachment with family have been discussed below. Personal Habits The young executives tend to develop certain bad habits such as alcohol, smoking etc. It is not uncommon to find women smoking and drinking alcohol in the BPO setup which is definitely a social stigma in the Indian societies. There are increased concerns about the habits of the employees among the parents, who are not finding it easy to talk to them about their habits, which in no way are welcomed by the Indian families. Solving such issues lies majorly in the hands of the employees and their employers. Employees can be made to attend counseling sessions of professional counselors. Conducting group counseling, workshops, educative film shows, in order to create awareness on effects of bad habits. Such actions will enable individuals to realize the importance of good habits and they could seek one-to-one counseling sessions. Discipline and Behavioral Issues Call centers provide excellent working environment, free food and transportation. There is always a situation where individual or group of youngsters tend to commit mistakes and abuse the freedom. The most common behavior cited is misuse of food, behave erratically in vans, and smoke in public places, misuse of telephones and other resources of the company. The supervisors themselves reel under the pressure of performance and achieving targets. Hence do not give their time for finding solutions. The professional counselor can play a major role in educating the youngsters on discipline; provide advice to erring executives. Unacceptable behaviors cause disturbance to others and affects the overall productivity. Continuous education and counseling will help to mitigate such problems and it is possible to change the behavior by adopting a positive approach. Detachment from the Family Since the daytime is spent in sleep and recreational activities with friends. The employees are hardly able to give time for their families. Problems become more pronounced when they get married. Additional responsibilities of running a family demands more time and hence eventually people quit the industry. Most of the employees work on Indian holidays too, which causes frustration. Some employees even feel the need for inclusion in the family and the society. Hence it is important for family members to render support for their young sons and daughters and to help them with the stress that they are undergoing. 3. Review of Literature The papers say Employees are required to `manufacture' relationships... Quite often, aspects such as moods of the agents (employees), facial expressions and words are subject to monitoring. The agents are even found forced to either express some feelings, which they do not feel or suppress certain feelings, which they genuinely want to share. In both the cases, the employees find the job depressing and leading to emotional dissonance". Emotional exhaustion adds to the physical and mental strain of the workers, leading to higher levels of stress and burnout under the electronically monitored work and tightly bureaucratised work regime. Outsourcing decisions are not, technically, irreversible. But in practical terms the organizational disruption and financial costs of bringing services back in house (back sourcing) mean that few organizations revert, even when quite dissatisfied with an arrangement. Instead, organizations typically seek to move to another outsourcing arrangement, that is sometimes less attractive than the original in-house delivery. Preliminary evidence from studies of business process outsourcing (BPO) experiences, like those into IT outsourcings success, suggests that only a minority of organizations report their BPO arrangements as satisfactory, implying that many are caught in this cant go back bind. In this paper the authors examine two organizations contemplating the adoption of BPO, and consider their expectations and experiences in light of existing empirical literature. The paper concludes with a set of principles to assist organizations to avoid BPO failure. The people who work in these call centres indeed, in any company in India do so out of choice, not coercion. They make that choice on the basis of the options available to them, options which are now far wider International Conference on Technology and Business Management March 28-30, 2011 971 than they were a decade ago. When this writer was in college in the early 1990s, it was next to impossible for a young graduate to get a job on the basis of his degree alone. Today, a working knowledge of English suffices. In the socialist decades after independence a middle-class man could save up enough to buy a house and a car only when he was in his 30s, or even 40s. Today, young people in their 20s can do so. Many of them use their time in the BPO industry to better their lives substantially. Some support families, others save up to go abroad for further education. Some simply make money, a goal apparently anathema to grizzled socialists. 4. Research Design Research Statement A Critical Study on Work-life Balance of BPO Employees in India. Objectives To gain familiarity about various social, emotional and physical problems faced by BPO employees. To study the impact of inadequate sleep on the health of employees working in the BPO sector. To find out various strategies adopted by companies to help their employees to maintain good work-life balance. To find out various present stressful practices. Hypotheses H(1): Employees working in day shifts are more productive than those working in night shifts. H(2): Employees working in night shifts are facing more physical and emotional problems than those of day shifts. H(3): Night shift BPO employees have poor work-life balance. Research Design We have categorized this research as of type descriptive because the study includes surveys and fact finding studies of various kinds. The major purpose of this research is description of the state of affairs or problems as they exists and are faced at present by BPO employees. We have no control over the variables; we have only reported what has happened or what is actually happening.

Personal Interview Secondary Data Internet, books on related issues, NASSCOM reports and research reports of various researchers in relevance to our study. Data Analysis and Statistial Technique Method We have used SPSS as statistical software for the analysis and interpretation of data. We have employed various statistical tools like cross tabulation (nominal form data), frequency distribution curves, pie charts, bar graphs for analysis and representation of data. We have also employed the methods of correlation and regression as a tool to find the relationship between two variables, especially helpful tools were Karl Pearsons coefficient of correlation and Charles Spearmans coefficient of rank correlation. We have also done reliability analysis of alpha type modeling to verify whether the collected data is reliable or not.

Employees were also found complaining about short temper and feeling of irritation (29.3%), complete sense of exhaution (28.6%), cold (24.7 %), restless sleep (23.9%), lack of concentration (23.9%), muscular and cardiovascular disorders (20.5 %) and lack of apetite (10.8 %). Almost all problems were found to be in maximum existence in the age-group 20-25 yrs as this being the group of maximum strength. We also studied categorically the problems on the basis of their age in which majority of population falled under the age group of 20-25 yrs (148/259), followed by 25-30 yrs (70/259), 15-20 yrs (38/259) and above 30 yrs (3/259) group. Within the given agegroups, Muscular and cardio-vuscular disorders were found most prominent in the age group 25-30yrs (24.28% of the population in this age group), followed by 20-25 yrs (20.94% of the population in this age group), and least in 15-20yrs (10.52%). Headache being the biggest monster was found to have the maximum slaves in 15-20 yrs (86% of the population in this age group) with lesser grip on 25-30yrs (68% of the population in this age group) and least on 20-25yrs (50% of the population in this age group) agegroup people. Graph 4.2 Level of Stress vs Age Interpretation In the age group 20-25 yrs people are suffering from maximum level of stress, followed by 15-20 yrs age group. Even the complainants of occasional stress are maximum in the age group 20-25yrs. 6. Findings and Suggestions The information collected for the purpose of this research led to some important findings in addition to helping testing of hypothesis through the analysis carried out. The replies to questionnaire have, after careful analysis, also led to some suggestion and recommendations. These findings, suggestions and recommendations are presented as follows: Main Findings Majority ~60.2%, of population complained about headache, followed by digestive disorders ~45.9%,. Employees were also found complaining about short temper and feeling of irritation (29.3%), complete sense of exhaution (28.6%), cold (24.7%), restless sleep (23.9%), lack of concentration (23.9%), muscular and cardiovascular disorders (20.5 %) and lack of apetite (10.8 %). Almost all problems were found to be in maximum existence in the age-group 20-25 yrs as this being the group of maximum strength. 15-20 yr agegroup suffer most from headache, 25-30 yr agegroup suffer most from digestive disorder. International Conference on Technology and Business Management March 28-30, 2011 975 25-30 yr age group is found to behave erratically the most, feel irritated and to suffer from short temper. 37% of people in age group 25-30 yrs are found to have a complete sense of exhaustion. There is positive correlation between age group and short temper and feeling of irritation with Karl-Pearsons coefficient coming out to be 0.126 at 0.05 level of significance. Age group and stress level are highly correlated with Karl-Pearsons coefficient to be 0.315 on positive side with only 0.01 level of significance. 70.37% of female and 55.6% male are suffering from headache as a everyday problem. Male suffer more from digestive disorders and short temper than females. Female are found to suffer more than males in terms of feeling of exhaustion and cold. Men are more prone to muscular and cardio-vascular disorders and to lack of concentration. Lack of concentration and restless sleep are positively corelated with gender. 0.144 and 0.125 as Pearsons index of corelation (all these are at .05 level of significance) respectively Short temper and feeling of irritation are found to be hightly corelated to gender with positive coefficient of correlation as 0.179 at 0.01 level of significance. Those who sleep for less than 4 hrs a day are found to suffer from muscular and cardio-vascular problems, digestive disorders like acidity and indigestion, regular headache. To add insult to injury is the fact that they are also not spared by the problems of restless sleep (100%) which in turn leads to a complete sense of exhaustion (100 %) (at least in our study). For those who sleep for 5-6hrs a day are found to suffer most by the common problems like Headache (63.88%) and digestive disorders (45.37 %). Astonishingly, to our amusement, they are somehow found to be more susceptible to cold than population in any other age group category. 6-7 hrs of sleeping is found to build the least affected category. Within the category, headache (51.80%) and digestive disorders (54.21%) are found to be the concerning issues but other problems like sense of exhaustion , muscular and cardio-vascular disorders , lack of concentration, restless sleep, short temper, cold and loss of appetite are found only in small traces. Stress is found at its maximum level in the people who sleep for 4-5 hrs daily (38.7%) while occasional stress is frequent in the group sleeping for only 5-6 hrs (71%) followed by group of 6-7 hrs (66.66%) and 4-5 hrs (59.67%) sleep group. Amount of sleep and cardiovascular problems are found to correlate positively with coefficient 0.152 at 0.05 level of significance. Restless sleep, short temper and feeling of irritation, sense of exhaustion, and level of stress- all are found to correlate heavily with amount of sleep having coefficients of correlation as 0.293,0.164,0.292 and0.304 respectively at 0.01 level of significance. 86.84% of population in the age group of 15-20 said that they joined the industry because they didnt get any better job. Attractive lifestyle has been the reason for 34.46% of 20-25yrs age-group people to join, while 33.33% of above 30yrs and 30% in 25-30 yrs population also joined for same reason. 68 % of the whole population accepted that they joined this industry as they are unable to find any other better job. 25.92% of female and 11.23% males said that, because the industry didnt demands for much educational qualification, they preferred to join the industry. Female give more importance to attractive lifestyle and good work environment, men give more stress on the benefits offered by the company to before deciding to join. The employees, at least in our study, are found clearly rejecting the opinion that Industry has bad reputation in the society. 197/259 i.e.; nearly 76.1% of total population is found to strongly disagree to the above point. Females are found to suffer lesser in maintaining worklife and personal life balance than men. When we compared the results for those who want to work for more than 4 year, a tremendous monotonically decreasing function is observed between their increasing age group and decreasing percentage, starting from about 21.05% in age group 15-20 to 5.71% in 25-30 and null in above 30. An indication that its hard to keep going with increasing age in this industry. International Conference on Technology and Business Management March 28-30, 2011 976 With shift schedule of work its found that more percentage of population want to quit this job in next 1-2 years who work in night shifts (67.19%) and constantly changing shifts (48.71%) than those who work in day shift ( 38.29%). Those who sleep for just 4-5 hrs are found expressing their opinion as they will quit in 1-2 years while those who sleep for 6-7 hrs are found targeting for at least 2-4 years. Female have more complaints than male for having lack of growth opportunity. Male can leave the company with more percentage than females for higher salary. Suggestions Even though the BPO sector provides support to so many other sectors and so many other industries, the society still isnt accepting the industry with all its glory. Some advertisements and social awareness campaigns are necessary to clear the dogma in publics opinion to help the industry and its employees to grow in full strength which has the capacity to eradicate large amount of unemployment in our country. Indian Government need to look into the matter of outsourcing being constrained by other countries like USA and to try to normalize the problem which can open new doors for this industry, before making promises to the presidents of other countries on providing employment and investment in their country. There is a need for more explicit, detailed, fully structured and relevant regulations, guidance specific to this industry. Health risk assessments both pre-employment and periodic for employees should be conducted. Length and frequency of breaks should be adequate. Full time counselors are needed to strike a balance between physical and mental rhythm to synchronize body clock. 7. Future Scope The research study can be made more exhaustive by studying the various types of health problems categorically and for providing the remedial solutions. The future study may comprise a larger universe in which instead of concentrating of one or two cities, more no of cities and even more number of countries may be included. A comparative study between the various benefits offered and policies adopted by various companies can also be made. The future has a lot in his bosom to offer, its just the human effort that is needed to ripe the fruits. 8. Bibliography Research Articles 1. ILO (2001) World Employment Report, 2001; ILO, Geneva. 2.

There are times in our life when we suddenly find ourselves lost.
We are adrift in the fog, and it soon becomes apparent that there isn't a point in even rowing—if we don't know where we are going, how can we row to get there?
If you find yourself in this kind of place, it is okay to relax and not worry about this phase of "lostness".
From a spiritual perspective, this is a sign that you are moving into a new self.
You have already or are now releasing your old self, including past relationships, places, memories and beliefs.
You have already or are now understanding that you don't know what's next.
It's okay to sit adrift in your rowboat for a while, as the fog rolls in from all sides, and simply surrender to this misty, unclear beauty.
If you have been very busy in your life—for many decades, or for months or years—there will naturally arrive a time when the busyness is no longer where you are.
You have entered a time of waiting, releasing and trusting.
You have entered another beautiful experience as a human.
Much love,

Thank you, Peggy. It is hard to drift, until we remember it's okay to be lost. It will shift over time.

Yes, I am a bit adrift too. And still wanting to honor myself and stay in the moments without worry. Thank you for the boat and visual and company aboard. Barbara

Drifting is not a permanent state. It is just a time of patience, and trusting that the Universe knows where we're going.

Dear Sara,

The mainstream world tells us that we should achieve and perform always, every day, forever. But the Universe says... this isn't required. I find that I open more as a soul when I am not "doing" or "achieving" and even more so when I am lost or adrift. This is when the Universe can reach us.

omg I needed this so much. I saw a theta healer a month ago and told her I am so broken and lost after losing my son, retiring and having health issues. She is trying to release and replace but this makes perfect sense to me. I can not thank you enough. Yes I am finding the new me and it is ok to sit.

On Sunday's night episode of Mad Men, Megan's friend wonders aloud why everybody wants redheads, since anyone with a bottle of hair dye can buy herself a new personality as a sassy and feisty redhead.
As co-founder of How to be a Redhead, a website designed and created for Redheads, this quote got me thinking and I must say, it is true. Red hair gives women (and men) a level of confidence and sex appeal. I dug through fashion magazines and runway show photos only to discover that redheads are truly setting the bar for the top spring/summer fashion trends, too.
Let's take a look into how celebrity redheads are giving other hair colored women a run for their money as trendsetters:
1. Dominant Brows: I believe Sophia Loren started the bold eyebrow trend many, many years ago. True Blood's Deborah Ann Woll and Bryce Dallas Howard have pronounced gorgeous, thick eyebrows, too, that compliment their bone structure and hair. At recent runway shows, thicker eyebrows have been all the rage.
Get this Look: Use an eye shadow to color in the brow and a clear mascara to comb the hair upwards; this will also blend in the color and give you a natural look
2. Fresh Skin: This beauty trend is very popular this summer -- less makeup, the better. Julianne Moore has always been known to be a fresh faced Redhead who embraced her freckles and skin. Other red ladies are following in her steps, like Amy Adams and Marcia Cross.
Get this Look: The skin looks so great when it has that 'dewy' look. After washing your face and applying lotion, apply an oil-free foundation. Next, add a bit of mascara and a lip gloss. Many women are wearing this look with a high bun or you can wear your hair down in beachy waves.
3. Dark Lips: Dark, pronounced lips are very 'in' and no one wears this look better than the Mad Men star, Christina Hendricks. Her bold lips and Red hair are a true beauty statement and women around the world are following suit.
Get this Look: Instead of using a lip liner and lipstick, simply use your lip liner for both! First, line your lips then color in the lip. The liner will stain and the color will stay on for hours.
4. Color: Whether you're rocking bright, wild lips, fun eye shadow or staple fashion pieces, loud colors are very 'in'. Redhead stars like Emma Stone who rocks great makeup in the Revlon Spring 2012 ad, Jessica Chastain who wore eye-popping color choices in the April edition of Vogue Italia and Bryce Dallas Howard who wore 'redhead friendly' colors in the recent Kate Spade ads, all set the tone for the 2012 color beauty trend.
Get This Look: Choose colors that flatter red hair or your particular hair color. I always recommend greens, purples and blues.
Take these redhead trends, keep beautifully red and Rock it like a redhead!
