apocalypse Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yep in smaller towns and villages in the north of Uttranchal, Goddesses names were common earlier. But as Radhika said, influx of media has changed it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 whenever they had to make some pose for the picture, then i used to go towards them and move them by touching them here and there, and telling them that this how u should stand.. even though they were standing correctly before...... same thing used to happen when i was taking passport pictures.... i used to go towards them, move them here and there to get the real feel, and then used to tell them to look straight and focus on the camera Isn't that every boy's childhood dream? To work as a cameraman asking girls to do all and sundry? Not to mention being a ladies tailor. If you had a chance Cricketics I am glad to hear that you didnt let it go waste. And you would be surprised that many girls are completely aware of that and not exactly averse to the idea. Me never did any part time job. Went straight to college and then to work, nothing in between :embaressed_smile::embaressed_smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read Veer's post. Like anything there is both good and bad sides to it Cricketics. Working to pay your bills is never a bad idea. At the same time if you do not work you can have so much fun. I suppose in some ways I was indeed lucky to experience things which I would have probably missed otherwise. Then again I did miss out to standing on my own two feet, till I was an Engineer. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives you a feel of what professional work will look like, help get better in time management and more importantly , helps ingrain the value for money at a very early age. Nobody realizes money's value , unless we earn it. And thanks Lurks , for calling me Cricketics. That was the last nail in the coffin ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life has been tougher here than it was in India , but i have learnt more in the last 12 months of my life than in the previous 22. Though, i havent had to do tough part time jobs. I have seen many guys slog it out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC1981 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I was security guard for night shift/ occasional freelance labourer. personally, security guard is a 'bindaas' job for students- especially if you get the night shift(which newbies always get) - you get to sit on your ar$e for atleast 4-5 hrs a day and do your homework assignments for anywhere between $11- $17/hr.

I tried being a tech-support dude to an ISP for four months- the workload is far greater and i got fed up with dumb Americans who couldnt tell their floppy drives from their CD drives (and yes, i dealt with American clients only!) :haha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
