Who's without a Job? Not me!

What if someone asked you if you were without a job? Wouldn't this be your first reaction?

Cummon, I know most people are jobless these days :) (Even in this context the answer might be the same, you better pretend that you are busy!)...
Am talking about a job loss here, not job less:)


What would happen if you were to lose your job? You would fret over it for a while, then try to find another one, all the same keeping a low profile to avoid having to tell friends and acquaintances that you have been fired (maybe not in so many words!). Especially so in India where there is so much stigma attached to not having a job!

Well i came across this interesting blog that the Wall Street Journal has started where people who have been laid off,openly
talk about it!

Gutsy folks..arent they? or arey they just being smart and improving their chances of landing the next job while their not
so smart colleagues recoil and try to keep it under wraps?

Slow Blogging

Its been quite some time since i blogged. The initial euphoria ebbed and i realised that blogging aint as easy as it sounds! Writing something on a daily/ weekly/ monthly basis isnt easy! Especially so for someone who's not a professional writer or someone who's not the literary types:)

But then what the heck! Its not even necessary! This dawned on me when i came across this term called "Slow Blogging"!
"Slow blogging is a rejection of immediacy. It is an affirmation that not all things worth reading are written quickly"

Here's more for those who are interested.
