Perception..

In my first semester of B.E, in my First Class of mathematics, our professor asked one question to entire class why you people joined Engineering. Lot of people gave different answers, some said they always wanted to become engineer, some said there parents wanted them to join that course and others said something else. But our professor was not convinced; he kept on asking for more and then finally told you all have joined engineering to make Money.

It is around 12 years now I realize how true he was. I had just ignored that incident.

I would like to tell you people why I feel, it is very much true in current world. If look at Bangalore for example, people earn huge pay checks and you will also find people who do low end jobs as well. Similarly if you visit any district, town or a village, you will find similar range of people doing different jobs. What is that actual difference of working in a district or in a metro city?

If you thinking on these lines, for similar kind of job people get paid high salaries in metro when compared to other smaller city. Why is this so? what drives the salaries of different people. I know it is demand and supply ratio which eventually decides the pay checks. But why is demand more in metros and not in smaller cities.

Again the answer to this would be, you create a demand in one particular location and start minting money. It is same funda of people blocking all the stocks of rice, cement, etc and creating the demand in the market.

Now let’s focus on the concept of leading one’s life when it comes to metros and other smaller cities. If you ask any youngster, the question, where do you like to live? He would immediately say I would like stay near some huge mall with all the shopping, food joint, movie hall and light night party happening place. He is not bothered about the distance between the workplace and the home where he stays, he ready to travel for 30 to 40 Kilometers daily with all the traffic Jams and pollution around. If you look at earnings versus the spending ratio in metros it will be very low when you compare the same with other smaller city.

A person in metro if he earns a salary of 30 thousand then he will be spending around 25 thousand for all his expenses. Similarly a person in smaller city will earn a salary of 10 thousand and hardly spends 2 thousand for all his expenses. Now tell me who is leading comfortable life.

It is all in the ones perception of an individual, what he personally feels about Comfortable life.

My understanding would be to live where ever you like but only criterion is the quality of life which you lead. It could be at workplace, at home or anyplace you go often.

Some people in India are so mad about go abroad, they are willing to do anything at any cost to go through and some continue to stay in spite of any amount of difficulties they face in terms of Job, work, climate and lot of things. I would say it is the perception in life is that he feels comfortable stay away from his know people or country. Similarly some people would not choose to go away from there native place and feel comfortable as long they stay there.
