Viewing things from a global level
Yours truly is currently on an assignment in a different country(US) and has had the opportunity to interact with fellow citizens from his home country on a regular basis. This gives him a rare opportunity to view the actions/behavior of people at different places and ponder over the consistencies/inconsistencies.
A somewhat frequent incident to which I have been witness to, and one which pains me a lot has prompted me to write a dedicated blog-post.
It starts with understanding of the basic fact that consultants due their inherent working model are forced to move places at frequent intervals. Now a totally unconnected but related fact is Walmart,the world's largest retailer has a " No Questions asked " 90 day return policy. Combine these 2 previous statements and what stems as a rather regular social spending pattern where people resort to buying and using things from Walmart with the ulterior motive of returning them back later.
What is ironical is that consultants normally get paid much higher than market levels owing to their short-term and uncertain nature of work and hence their actions as described above amplifies the shock and pain in "yours truly". Why and how can they imagine returning goods they have bought and used for around 3 months.? Extrapolate this to the winter season and you can visualize the highly paid consultants strutting around in the best of winter clothing, calculating mentally, the days remaining to return their stuff at the end of winter. !!!
I am pained to see this rather recurring behavior in a large number of fellow citizens and what these people do not realise that, this projects a rather pathetic image of India and Indians in general amongst the masses. These people should remind themselves that their actions are judged and observed by people of other countries and hence people abroad are ambassadors of the country they represent.
Exploring ways to a solution to this social issue which is acceptable to all stake-holders.
1) What cannot be avoided is the short term nature of work and hence an often accompanying change of place. Hence as a practice, it pays to be as lean as possible in accumulating stuff so that it becomes easy at the time of packing and moving. Remember that you have taken a conscious choice to become a consultant and moving places is a job-related phenomenon we need to accept and live with.
2) Buy stuff which are cheap and throw-away so that one does hesitate to thrash when you move.
3) Use this opportunity of moving-out to donate used stuff including books,furniture, clothes to the nearest GoodWill/Salavation Army/Red-Cross and enhance the image of you, your family and country.
Arise, my fellow Indian citizens, develop a heart, do not bury your conscience, and please pay heed to my earnest appeal to make a mark in this world in a positive way.
