  1. I think its not just us, it all the ppl who are in IT. It should come from all the levels, levels of hardworking/not working, Levels of Management to Labor, that Family and personal life is also imnportant apart from earning.... We are growing by age and Money, not by relations and Love...

    This the trend now, :)

    In Western countries, ppl respect their family and personal time as equal or more than job. For them Job is just to fulfill few desires/ min requirements, not Life...

    For us in India, Job is Life, :)
