On unemployment

How about an site on unemployment? On the same lines like my first salary (one of my earlier posts) why can't there be a website that lets people talk about unemployment. People will share their experiences about how they came to deal with a topic that is looked upon as a taboo and social stigma rather something which is a harsh reality of life or business need.

Unemployment could be further categorized into those who have not been able to get any employment for whatsoever reason and those who have been employed / were entrepreneurs / businessmen before exigencies or circumstances pushed them into unemployment. Their viewpoints and experience sharing could help someone gain new perspectives and possibly avoid the same mistake and encourage others to take different route.

I know this would be easier said than done. It would be big challenge to come out in the open talk about the challenges and distress caused due to unemployment but if something good is going to come out of it why not?

In addition the site may turn out to be boon for organizations who are looking out for the right fit can't seem to find them and have no where to go. If at all that does happen surely becomes a win win situation.

What's your take?

Making the messenger Apps Talk to One Another

What if one messaging app can send messages to another messaging app. That would be fun for the user. The messaging services still get to keep their users. Rather than installing and using multiple messaging apps one app will suffice. The one that you like and not what others are using and you get compelled to use because of others.  The road however may be a difficult one to take as the creator will have to integrate n number of messaging apps and get them to talk with one another. It will be one hell of an idea.I still feel it will be win-win for the user and the messenger apps. The user - because there is no need to install multiple apps. The App - they get to keep their customers The real winner however will be the one who creates the app...but then looking at the ease it creates for users don't think anyone will be complaining. The online messengers services had such apps for e.g. meebo through which you could access all messengers through one login id...time for mo

My First Salary

Can people share their experience about the first salary. For many people the first salary is really special and a moment to cherish, a stepping stone to achieving their dreams. To spending the money on themselves, to treating friends, to offering it to their parents, to some investing it...varied people have varied ways of celebrating the moment special. Probably the website can help people connect with each other and share what they actually did with their first salary. They can also act as mentor / counsel to others about what they need to do to earn their rightful first salary. How to negotiate, how to deal with the anxiety of being the first timer and other such insights which can be really helpful. Worth a thought but however needs to be explored further to bring it into reality.

Life After Retirement

What happens after retirement? Most people do plan for retirement. The planning however happens in terms of making financial provision so that one continues to be independent.  Quite a few do have their bucket list to be ticked off. Retirement offers them the perfect opportunity to accomplish it. A few dedicate themselves to social causes while a handful few try their hands at becoming an entrepreneur / offering their services as consultants. This though remains limited to people who have done exceedingly well in their career and have retired from senior managerial / top management posts. A major chunk however does not fit the bill. For them post retirement life turns into the challenge.  As the euphoria surrounding the retirement subsides they start finding themselves alone with time that's hard to kill. Though over a period of time they do get used life. It's come at a cost. A cost which not only those retiring have to bear but also the society at large. Consider th
