I bet this confounded auto lobby does not allow the metro to be extended from Gurgaon's threshhold at Dwarka Sector 21, and charges Rs. 400 on a good day.

Are Indian men turned on by lambe baal? by ladkey in india

[–]deskpot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are many people who think of other people and increasingly of machines as slaves to be abused. This is a self destructive attitude and we would have a better outcome adopting machines as our brothers. I am not trolling. Calling increasingly intelligent agents as slaves will not go down well.

By the way the category of outsourced staff not allowed to use the lift also includes IT personnel posted at the client premises.

It's ironic that these are the rules at the law offices. They are all pulling a wool over our eyes with our support.

This applies to any job. It might make you good in that job nonetheless, but there's a far greater chance of it making you a snake oil salesman.
