They are unemployed -are they?

Rajagopalan,a purohit left his job as an IT engineer ,learnt Vedas and is practicing as a purohit. When I consulted him for conducting Mythilis last rites he said he would come home and discuss.After seeing the house in an upmarket complex his rate went up dramatically. I had no choice, with the body arriving any time from the hospital. He explained that he was earning well, was his own master and people had to listen to him instead of vice versa in his job .He is unemployed as per statistics.

I met a petite girl, well dressed in her late twenties in the lift. I politely asked her in which flat she lived. She replied that she was working as a maid in 11th floor. She was a graduate but preferred to work as a maid as she had to pick up her son from school at 3.30 pm .She worked for 7 hours and she charged 2000 Rs/ hour and in two houses she prepared lunch charged 4000 RS each. In all she was earning 18000 Rs a month. With pride she said that working couples depended on her .So saying she started her scooter and drove away. She is unemployed as per statistics.

I went for a haircut and was pleasantly surprised when the barber .spoke to me in Americanised English. In my conversation with him I learnt he left his job as a BPO employee and doing haircutting after training for the last three years. He had chosen this profession with the ultimate aim of starting a boutique. He also said getting a bank loan was easy .He is unemployed as per statistics.

We had called Abdul to check up the washing machine in our house. He said he was not free for two days .On the third day he came .changed the printed circuit board and pocketed 8000 Rs. As is my normal practice I enquired about his work and estimated his income around Rs.30000/.He laughed and said more than double of your estimate.He was ITI qualified person and worked with Samsung before becoming a freelancer .As per statistics he is unemployed.

Two ladies left their lucrative jobs and taking private tuitions for maths and physics.They charge Rs 500/hour and they have a waiting list. They are unemployed as per statistics.

Manjunath,a graduate drives his own taxi ,mostly airport savari earns well. He is a post graduate. He is unemployed as per statics.Mustafa ,an IIM graduate is the founder of ID idli batter and has built a 100 crore plus business empire Sarath Babu, an IIM-A Graduate. Makes idlis in bulk and sells to institutionanal canteens, Ramanappa,an educated fellow is one of the isthriiwallahs in our complex employing two more people. We have to remind him atleast twice before he picks up the clothes for ironing. His daughter is studying in English medium school. Another isthriwallah has two grown up daughters one a trained nurse and another pursuing catering technology course in Ooty. Call a mason, plumber .electrician .mason and a carpenter for job and you will find that they are not prepared for daily rates and quote a flat rate for a job and no bargaining please. Most of them come in SPLENDOR/PULSAR motor cycles.

To conclude, jobs do not necessarily mean government or corporate jobs.” Find a need and fulfil it’ is the taraka mantra for eking out livelihood and quite often making it big like Raghavendra.a mechanical engineer and his wife Divya,a charted accountant who founded and own the bomb blast famous Rameswaram café. In Bangalore.I can give hundreds of examples-it is time to inculcate the spirit of entrepreneurship and let employees become employers.

Hello @sln sir
Interesting post,I feel if situation permits or those who have passion or unwilling to do work under any force it's better to be self employed person.
The employer may terminate from job when he don't require employee anymore or he may fire employee when he don't like his/her attitude.The more risk is at employee side.Now a days there are many opportunities to earn,people doing dual jobs for safety.
I came across through my friend her relative working in MNC, weekend she started baking cake business, after she created demand she resigned her job and made her baking as full time.Now she earning minimum ₹2000 per day .It all depends on how one will encash the opportunity.
Regards
Ratna

Very interesting alternative chosen by your friend.I read an article" how to become rich". Two brothers were invited home for tea by their friend.When they reached,their friends house was in turmoil.People were running helter skelter searching for tincture of iodine,gauze,scissors etc as a little girl had bleeding injury in her finger.The two brothers thought that such a thing must be happening in many houses and saw an opportunity in making money.That is how JOHNSONS BAND AID WAS born. History belongs to the past and creativity belongs to the future goes a saying.How true!
