Job Opportunities

For those of you that are not satisfied with your current station in life and may be looking for an exciting career change, I've found something that you might want to see. It will provide you the opportunity to interact with different cultures and appears to offer very stable work.

"We're trying to catch them but the difficulties are a shortage of monkey catchers."

Of course I'm referring to the ongoing monkey crisis in New Delhi, India. An Indian police official said:

"Wildlife officials are trying to find them. As police we're not experts in dealing with monkeys. We can deal with mad bulls but monkeys are more difficult,"

The monkeys are sacred animals, just like cows, in the Hindu culture that sees monkeys as reincarnations of one of the polytheistic religion's gods.

"I was talking to someone at my door at around 11 pm when a monkey appeared," Naseema, who goes by one name, told the Times of India. "As I moved inside, the monkey followed and sank its teeth in my baby's leg."

Six more bites were reported Monday in Shastri Park, while in an upscale neighbourhood in central Delhi, a rogue monkey bounded into the residence of Priyanka Gandhi, daughter of ruling Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi, The
Indian Express said.

You've probably heard about the muckety-muck that met an untimely end a month or so ago while trying to fight off the marauding simians with a stick. He was on his balcony and was forced over the edge, falling to his death.

India is the next big up-and-coming superpower and largest democracy in the world. With its grip tightening around the global IT development and helpdesk world and other industries, will this calamity derail the flattening of the world? Will the offshore workers be able to fight their way through the crazed beasts to get to work and answer our help desk calls? It's time we answer their call.
