If you are embarking on a voyage in India, these famous souvenirs are what you must by for your loved once.

India is being promoted as incredible India. India is a vast country, almost a subcontinent, stretching right from the cold Himalayas in the north to Kanyakumari in the south touching the warm waters of the Indian ocean with Arabian sea on the west coast and Bay of Bengal on the east coast; and with Gujarat in the west stretching to the seven northeastern states to the east sharing borders with Bangladesh and Burma.

India is a modern developing country, progressing rapidly and at the same time retaining its old values and ancient customs and traditions which keep Indians rooted to their culture and their civilization. With India’s old traditions like Ayurveda, Yoga, meditation, handicrafts, performing arts, music, painting and ancient texts and literature like Vedas, Upanishads, science and technology are an attraction to foreign tourists. Indians believe in Atiti devo bhava, which literally means – the guest is God.

India was in the news for constructing the highest bridge in Kashmir and recently for commissioning of the made-in-India aircraft carrier and a frigate. And the recent news of India’s GDP growing in double figures and surpassing UK to become the fifth largest economy in the world.

No to Double Lives!

Infosys email warns employees against moonlighting. IT services firm's warning prompts non-profit group to say what 'employees do outside working hours is their prerogative.’

IT services firm Infosys has warned its employees that it will not allow moonlighting and violations may lead to termination, mailing them about rules days after Wipro chairman Rishad Premji called the trend "cheating--plain and simple". Bengaluru-based Infosys sent an email to employees titled "No Double Lives" and said: “…dual employment is not permitted as per the Employee Handbook and the Code of Conduct.”

The Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES), a non-profit group, protested Infosys’s email to say: “IT Employees are working more than 9 hours a day without any overtime benefits. Would there be any energy or time left if an employee is working 10-12 hours a day. Also, many IT companies have developed monitoring systems to measure employee’s productivity.

"Employees have contract to work with Infosys for 9 hours only. What the employees do outside working hours is their prerogative. The article 21 of Constitution of India has provided Right to livelihood to every citizen hence such emails sent to the employees is illegal and unethical. Citing clauses of contract will not help Infosys in the court of law as the clauses are included arbitrarily,” said NITES in an email.
