To get the work done, the companies are encouraging weekend parties and picnics.
Though they say that it will reduce the stress, it adversly increases the stress of parents,wife and children. Because of such paties, in some cases due addiction of alcohol,Cultural and Moral values are sinking.Often a news comes that a youth is drowned in swimming pool after party due to drinking.
Now a days the divorces are increasing .within one or two months of marriage ,the highly qualified couples are approaching court for divorce.
All due to what?
That is due to poor psychological adjustment. They cannot cope up with the real life problems and pressures.They are lacking in work life balance.

a new age slavery. There is no point in saying we are good in
software. If we are good, we should innovate and make money from all over the world. Instead we are sweating for the peanut that the world throws at us.
These software and call center jobs are no different than a construction contract labors. In engineering we should start thinking of innovations. We have enough problems to solve in our country.
Why are we begging for nuclear power from US? Why we didnt come up with other
means of energy? We need to start doing research & developement, government should be ashamed of not doing enough on this front.
Their may be failures, let that happen. I was still amazed with our developement in space technology its all becoz of a wonderful team and a leader. Intially we had failures, at that time the leader took the responsibilty and came out to the media and said we failed but we will succeed in future. If some stupid guy was there and blames all over the department that would have been a mess. When the leader took the responsiblity the whole team put their heart and came out with flying colors.
I cannt agree more on mentioning the moral values and culture. Very rarely u see
these in our people and at times I am happy that there are still some people
left. I was happy reading an article which was about a watchman finding the bombs in Ahmedabad. He was saying I did my job and why people are giving money, I dont want money.
People dont know what religion is for ? and they change religion. People
dont know what temples for ? Nobody wants to understand what hindutva is.
We should start preaching hindutva in temples instead of playing loud on the streets. It should be a place where you can be a better person, get faith, get hope and you can talk to your soul. I hardly see these environment in temples. There are some places but they are going down. I was upset when I heard that the vivekananda illayam was planned to move out of that place.
Another problem with people is they are not proud of themselves. Always live in doubt.. one or other.. Instead of solving thier problem that they have... they believe in someone who least cares/knows about this guys life
and pour money in the name of something(like astrologer, gemologist, what not..
list goes on).
There is a fundamental problem in education. We study math, science and so call
history (mostly manipulated by the wealthy people). But we never read LIFE SCIENCE. We get learned thro experience, some have the interest to read on their own and equip but mostly we struggle.
I see old people read bagavat gita/ramayana/mahabaratha. these should be known from young age. [ These should be taught]
[I will keep on going like this.... I will try not to digress]
I strongly feel these are important to get rid of stress
meditation
Religion
Take responsiblity of ur decision.
Honesty
Content
Be passionate about ur life
Sports
Love
And when I thought about why people are gettin stressed, I think they encounter a problem and they want to resolve and they know that its beyond their capability. When you have the attitude of "I will do what I can and learn what I dont" some problems are resolved.
And last but not least, people forget one important thing in life. When they have problem they think they can solve it. What they dont realize is that they could only solve from their knowledge base. They should seek out an expert and solve it immediately. This is where councellor, psychatrist come in picture. There should be a awarness created for this.
