This is a perfect example of what I call ‘over creativity’ in a context thats absolutely unnecessary!
– In the first few seconds as I began to read it, I GOT EXCITED – maybe there was another REBELLIOUS Rodinhood out there, making some noise…
– As I read the first bullet – I kinda got Nausea and said – Come on your guys…get a life.
– I skipped everything else, hit REPLY and wrote – ‘THANKS – I WONT BE ATTENDING’.
I see this as a uniquely Indian Phenomena:
– Some newly minted MBA’s trying to show his special ‘writing’ skills that he learnt at Amity Business School or Arindham Chaudhary’s Buffalo farm??
– Why COMPLICATE??? WHY SPIN INNUENDOS? Madmen like me judge organisations by the way the communicate. Nasscom sounds like its up vomit creek.
– How can NASSCOM ALLOW THIS !!!??????
Nasscom – get a life. Learn from Steve Jobs. CLASS is being SIMPLE and UNCOMPLICATED
