IT Survivors - Staying Alive In A Software Job

Sat, 29 Apr 2006 11:41:06 GMT

Got this article by mail from my friend

Before I started working for myself, I spent some years in some of the top IT companies in India and still have many friends working in various software companies . I wrote a blog about the same time last year about how Indian companies are recruiting like there's no tomorrow and the possible consequences................

Consequences:
· A majority of IT people suffer from health problems.As most of the IT workforce is still very young, the problem isn't very obvious today but it will hit with unbearable ferocity when these youngsters get to their 40s.
.....................

Exhaustion = Zero Innovation

· How many Indians in India are thought leaders in their software segment? - Very few
· How much software innovation happens in India? - Minimal
· Considering that thousands of Indians in India use Open Source software, how many actually contribute? - Very few
..................

Solutions

1) Never complement someone for staying till midnight or working 6 days a week.

The Academy has published two reports since 1998 which directly link repetitive motion to workplace injury

A Healthy Man's Daily Routine

Mon, 20 Feb 2006 12:45:39 GMT

There are 12 important organs in our body, which will be at its peak for two hours a day. Normal health or disease of any person is depends on this factor. To lead a healthy life one should learn one's own body functioning language.

Serial No	Time	Organs	Remarks
1	Early Morning 3-5 AM	LUNGS	It is good to wake up at this hour. The ozone content in atmosphere will be more at this time, which will give a new lease of energy if we practice breathing exercise, yogasanas and mediation. Asthma patient cannot sleep in this time and will suffer breathlessness.
2	Morning 5-7 AM	LARGE INTESTINE	If a person gets up in this time will not have constipation problem. If bowel's movement, taking bath in cold water is finished during this time, then he will not have any nervous debility.
3	7-9 AM	STOMACH	Breakfast should be completed in this time.
4	9-11 AM	SPLEEN	One shall not eat or drink anything during this time. Not even a drop of water. If food is taken in this time it will increase body temperature, tiredness will increase and digestion power will come down. Particularly diabetic patient will suffer from palpitation, drowsiness etc.
5	NOON 11-1 PM	HEART	Only water can be taken at this time. One shall neither do any hard work nor sleep at this time. Otherwise carbon-di-oxide will get mixed more with oxygen and chance of getting heart attack or paralytic or body pain. Generally doctors will be on double alert in hospitals during this time because heart and diabetic patients may get heart attack only in this time compared to other hours.
6	Mid Day 1-3 PM	SMALL INTESTINE	After finishing lunch in this time 5 minutes of rest can be taken just by closing eyes. Sleep shall be avoided.
7	Afternoon 3-5 PM	URINARY BLADDER	It is the right time for coffee, tea or juice etc.
8	Evening 5-7 PM	KIDNEY	This is the time to relax from routine work otherwise renal failure or urinary infection may trouble.
9	Night 7-9 PM	HEART WALL	Supper should have been finished during this hour. Otherwise palpitaion or chest pain may arise.
10	Late Night 9-11 PM	TEMPERATURE WARMER	This is the time to recharge the organs that worked since morning. So one shall go down to sleep and avoid reading books, watching TV or working with office files.
11	Mid Night 11-1 PM	GALL BLADDER	One must sleep during this time otherwise one will not have any energy for next day work.
12	Too early morning 1-3 AM	LIVER	This is the time for deep sleep. Otherwise it will affect eye-sight and body irritation.

Living in accordance with the above listed clock of organs enhanced with yogasanas will illuminate colour or health. This has been prescribed in Yogasastra

By Default I think I am following 4 to 5 in the above List ;-)
