Default So i got fired!

Apparently i got fired as well as 100s of other people in the Western Region.

And i have peanuts worth of experience which in no way get me another one(atleast the kind i wNT).
What am i going to do??


How do people get those jobs where they rent out in beach facing buildings and and oh well.

Does anyone know when Dubai is going to have the next real estate boom? man, i might as well ask to look into a crystal ball.

If i get a new job (at a consultants) its gonna be 6 days a week with 3 hours of driving (to and fro) else sharing a room with another guy in a 200 sq ft room or less:s sharing a bathroom. Of all the things I also have OCD. :S

India is not bad. The people just make it so. For some strange reason Indians do not have a backbone and a sense of selfworth.

I dont have a problem going back infact id do much better there than here. But i need international experience and i only just started and if i go back then some people would think im incompetent (my parents included).

Why is international experience so important especially if you are in real estate? Let's face it, you are here just like the rest of us, to enjoy the pampered lifestyle that you won't get back home. That's precisely the reason why you want to know how people can get those sea-facing apartments that you so badly crave.

It's people like you who make India look bad. You can't even stand up for your own people and are so quick to let them down. Good luck with your job hunt.

I see i have provoked the Indian in you. That was said as a reply to someone elses question who seem to think India is a terrible place.

We all respect, dont tell me im wrong when i describe how i Indians are.
That someone else just asked you a question if India was bad, she does not think that India is a terrible place. You do.

You are completely wrong with the way you generalised Indians. It is you who has no backbone and selfworth which is why you are not even looking at the option of going back and facing up to your parents. So don't try and make it look like we are an entire nation of cowards because we are not.

You did provoke the Indian in me. And yes, I am proud that at least I have the guts to stand up for my people. Shame on you.

You talk about being an Indian and then talk about standing up to your parents. Aren't we contradicting our own self?

If theres one thing i cant stand up to then they are my parents and for whatever it is worth i dont care if that means i dont have a backbone.

Anyway I'm sorry for that. But majority of the Indians dont need someone to let them down. They do it quite well themselves.

They are some really nice Indians ofcourse but the definition comes from the majority

Anyway I'm sorry for that. But majority of the Indians dont need someone to let them down. They do it quite well themselves. - Speak for yourself.

They are some really nice Indians ofcourse but the definition comes from the majority - There is no definition. You made one up based on your racist attitude towards your own people.
The problem lies with you, not with India. You are really not worth my time, so I'm just going to end this argument here.

Lol. Everything aside, Why are you getting so agitated with a random guy on the Internet.

You very well know that you cannot change the way people think, right?

And you also know that trying to be vindictive towards anyone who doesnt approve with you is not going to get you anywhere neither will it affect whatever ill do in the future.

Just calm down. There are a whole group of people to fight wars. You dont have to do it alone.
