He is son of a factory worker whose father worked to give his son the education that he didn’t get. The son graduated as an engineer and took off for Bangalore to get a job. He had a living money for six month which he got from his father. He didn’t get a job for six month, not because he didn’t knew what he was talking about but because his English was not so good so he was not able to communicate who he was, what he knew, how hungry he was to learn and how hard he could work. He got hired as a trainee. This workplace exposure helped him to work on his communication and confidence and after nine month he was able to infiltrate into Infosys. It is unfortunate to learn that most of the students from the non English medium educated students do not complete their story the same way.English is the language to look outside. It is the language of the business. Even in India. Since English or say language is an emotional subject, so one should stick to the facts that too basic. Just as the adoption of standards like windows, railway gauges, and internet protocol leads to greater inter-operability and usage. English has integrated our diversity. Particularly in the business. With 22 languages mentioned in the constitution of the country, English is used in most of the official and interstate correspondence. English has also become a bane. Languages captures the ethos, dreams and experiences of a culture, but tragically, of the 7000 languages spoken in the world today one of them dies every week. Drivers of these deaths are many but experts view that it is the global adoption of the English language as one of the major factors.English is a vocational skill. It is the language of interviews, expense reports, performance appraisals and the software used to document them. It also is the foundation of many service job soft skills in a country where manufacturing is only 11% of jobs. Most candidates without fluent English feel handicapped for no fault of theirs. 

Just a few days back I have come across a new term- Mancation. This is the name given to the felling when men find themselves pulled between their secret desires and an attack of conscience. One can find solace in the fact that most men think along the same lines. So what’s a male only vacation about? Well ask any man and he will answer the same way. It is all about engaging in sports, camping, gambling, chasing women and most of all drinking. There should be no wives, mistresses or girlfriends. It allows men to get in touch with their male- primal roots. This word was supposed to have originated by Vince Vaughn in the film THE BREAKUP in which he splits from his partner and wants to get away without his female friend. Though one cannot say that this was the actual origination place of the word but one thing is for sure that MANCATION is the latest buzzword in the tourism sector. Also this concept has travelled very quickly from Hollywood to India. When asked men partying in no women parties and camps they say, “Now that women are equal partners in a relationship shouldering equal responsibility, they realize that we all need our little space”. Some have drawn inspiration from people who were in their 40s and had come to watch IPL matches and had such a blast together. There are many other things one can plan for his Mancation. Anything like trekking or just reliving the past over a can of beer.Some men even enjoy going to a marriage with friends. Any objections from their other halves? Well everything goes fine and there can’t be a problem if you share an honest and transparent relationship with your spouse. Now a day’s wives are open minded and okay with letting their husbands spend time with their friends.Well if you are still thinking as to how to convince your partner to let you go for a dream Mancation, here’s a tip courtesy a magazine- MEN’S HEALTH- male to male helps men express their emotions better. Now this shall help you convince your partner.
