IT & India....

Just now I was reading a story on rediff.com titled as "How IT changed the lives of rural youth". It is so true that IT & India are compliment to each other & in current scenario, either can't survive without other. I personally know many people who could change their & their family's life just because of the Information Technology. The erstwhile considered bane of India, its population, came out as a boon. People, who had never thought that their kids will go anywhere outside their village, are seeing their lives flourishing across the shores in cities like Amsterdam, Chicago, Shanghai, London & NYC. People who could never afford to buy a bicycle for their kids are now traveling in luxury cars like BMW & Mercs bought by their kids who earn green bucks.

And the wonderful thing is this is not the story of one or two guys who worked hard, studied under the lamp-post & had a meal in a day, this is the story of N no. of people who devoted & sacrificed all of the pleasure of their lives to make their children capable enough to earn this kind of life.

This is nothing but the start of a journey which is going to change the life of a big part of Indian population. I bow to the people who worked hard to make India an IT superpower.
