IT workers are workaholic!

Yesterday I read about an article which explains how much IT workers are workaholic? It is true to some extent. Considering the facilities given to them, its natural that they become addicted to work.

I must make a point that most of the companies presently working in Tecnopark, Trivandrum have succeeded in developing a work culture which is quite alien to the culture existing in and around Trivandrum city.

I am happy to see that the people eating Pizza and having Lemon tea from a world standard restaurant instead of eating parippuvada and cuttan chaya. But I seriously fear that the change is for good and bad? Naturally in an orthodox city like trivandrum, where every change will be scrutinized with the typical mallu attitude of suspicion and clear cut leftist mentality, my doubts have some values.

Quick money coming into the pockets of fresh IT engineers will end up at five star betrothals! There is a chance. So it will affect the society and its values. Huge spending of money is good for society but at the same time it will make you bankrupts soon.

Another reason is that today’s youngsters have a feeling that money is easy to make and can buy every thing. So there is a danger. Money can buy everything means money can buy your WIFE also. Thereby avoiding the sanctity that comes along with the marriage . Divorce suits filing are turning out to be a prestige issue among many youths in Kerala today.

Another terrible reason is the sudden change of food habits. Mallu youth choose fast food and inviting diabetics very soon. Sudden deviation from a traditional diet to Chinese food cause major cause of concern. According to doctors, people turn out be heart patients at the age of 30.

To sum up all the above points, I must say there is a danger you love IT too much better be ready to spend your quality time with your parents and of course wife also.
