Dear Friends and
Students
2022 is a message
to the entire community! As on Jan 2022, we were still in Corona Age! 36 Lakhs
cases were reported. At the same time, Jan 2022 witnessed something good
for hi-tech employees. It was the period of a “Great Resignation” or
"Big Quit". More than 4.2 million employees Quit their Jobs in
January 2022. IT employees are offered huge salary packages. Even Freshers
attracted the best packages, even in Tier 2/3 colleges. On average 10%
salary hikes were announced across the industry. Employees were offered
work-from-home/remote working options. Companies were liberal in moonlighting!
Wow, factor for IT!!
As of Dec 2022,
only 3 lakh Corona cases were reported! It was a great relief for all people. However,
the IT industry started “Great Layoffs”. More than 0.5 million were
laid off officially. Many companies deferred assured job offers. Moonlighting
is banned in many companies and cracking down on the employees who were
indulged in Jan 2022!!
When we see these
extremes in the same year (positive and negative), I remember watching a
documentary about Yellowstone National Park in the US, published in US
Entertainment Magazine. In 1970, there was no evidence of wolves in the park. However, it
witnessed a lot of deer. Consequently, it resulted in less grass as deer were
dependent on that grass.
In 1995, they
introduced 14 wolves. As we all know wolves are a major threat to deer. They started
hunting deer. Then the population of deer rapidly decreased. Deer avoided that
area completely. Deer’s absence made a lot of grass and plants grew again.
As the bushes and
trees grew, more berries and bugs came to that area. Various bird
species started visiting the National Park. The beavers who were extinct
started visiting that place. As a result, these beavers started creating small
dams and ponds.
However, these
wolves started killing coyotes. Hence, the park witnessed more rabbits and
mice. However, they attracted red foxes, badgers, hawks, and eagles to the park
as they eat a lot of rabbits and mice.
In the whole
process, as vegetation grew, the rivers' course of direction changed in this
region. Land
Erosion decreased due to more trees. River banks stabilized. More pools formed.
The whole Park's physical geography changed.
Dear Friends,
Wolves are characterized by Negative! Deer is characterized by Positive! Who is
right and who is wrong, completely unknown! They have done their natural duties! The
same thing applies to us as well. What is the right thing to do and what
is wrong thing is mysterious in certain circumstances!
Often people ask
us,
Does this job good
or bad for me?
Does this Package
decent or not?
Does this boy or
girl suit me for marriage?
Should I stay in
India or abroad?
Should I go for
Higher education or not?
Yellowstone
National Park Wolf's story is the answer.
2022 is the year of
all ups and downs. It is no good or bad! Just take it as it is. The year
2022 is a clear message. Welcome, 2023 with that positive note!
