Tring tring tring….
Me: Hi
He: hello
Me: I saw your advertisement on the club membership. I would like to know the details as I wish to join for TT on weekend
He: sure madam, membership costs you Rs. 1500 and every month its Rs. 300 and we have trainers too
Me: Oh that is so nice; let me know the formalities, so that I can drop in to your office today evening
He: where do you work?
Me: a Civil engineering company
He: what is ur designation
Me: Urban Planner
He: Oh you are not a software engineer. Sorry madam, this club gives membership to S/w Engineers from MNCs
Me: WTF??(To self)
Me: I asked why?
He: Security & affordability madam and people here are all s/w engineers...
Me: Thank you, better u mention this in your Add to save our time
What do you think about this? I have met many half knowledge people, who think S/w engineering is the only industry that exists. Come on, there are much better ones too exist. If not how other services are being done to the citizens. The wrong impression they have on other industries is disgusting….people think that s/w engineers are the only ones who earn a lot than any one...
I hope these kind of people will grow up and think about this...
Thanks a lot Bharathi for writing this!!
ReplyDelete(..no ill feelings for s/w engineers though. That is a profession too like many others:))
:) even i too have no ill feelings towards them, only i worry abt the weird ppl
ReplyDeletewe need to keep the club in our prayers.

Deletemost of the s/w engineers i have come across are quite humble people. it's the false notion of some, like the one you mentioned, portrays them as villains :D. don't worry, there are many clubs that are run by educated people :)
ReplyDeleteI dont say tht s/w engineers are bad, i was just pointing tht club persons..
Deleteyeah even instrumentation engg. like me do exist with some lucrative packages :D
ReplyDeleteWeakest LINK
What is this? Is the world running only because of them. Bad marketing tactics I would say.
ReplyDeletePeople with their heads screwed backwards.
ReplyDeleteWTF(To Self)???? I would have appreciated it if you had said it to the person on phone ! I do wonder why such lame people are hired for marketing. Shame on the people who hire such idiots !
