Oh yeah, I remember you... Of course....Hi Yogesh,<br /><br />Oh yeah, I remember you... Of course...<br /><br />It's true, we've seen, but interpreted things differently about India... What I've written here is about what I've seen in regards to user interface design and my speculation about part of why I think many Indian software developers are a bit worse at UI design than western developers...<br /><br />It's certainly not all of them, there are some good UI designers in India and there's some rotten ones in the west..<br /><br />And you're right, I'm sure things will improve over time. <br /><br />I've read a book describing India like a snake, with its head in the 21st century and its tail in the 15th century. I think in many ways India has far more extremes than we have in the U.S. <br /><br />I saw that when I worked in Hinjewadi, in a high tech software technology park with high speed internet access, fancy computers and so forth, in which herders brought their cattle to graze on the grass between buildings. Of course, the same thing is <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/kevinrubin/ViewFromMyOfficeWindow#5365355447392683234" rel="nofollow">true of the Weikfield office</a>...<br /><br />One of the things I had to come to grips with in India, and failed at, was getting used to the idea that in Indian society people balance cost and quality differently than I'm used to. That's why many things (e.g. light switches, faucets, etc.) aren't so good and don't work as well in India as they do here in the U.S. Indians in general choose a lower cost for things, whereas what I'm used to in the U.S. is the expectation to pay more, and with it comes better quality...<br /><br />I'm finding that in many ways New York City is somewhere between India and Portland, Oregon, where I lived before I went to India ten years ago. For instance, in India painters always make a mess and splatter paint around when they paint a building, and do a lousy job. But I see much the same thing here in New York City in the subway when painters come down to paint the support posts that hold the streets up, lots of paint splattered around... But thats not something that would've been acceptable in Portland...<br /><br />Always a learning experience...<br /><br />-kevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783459068017886354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540416431838077504.post-71018871662165272982011-02-13T03:39:46.844-05:002011-02-13T03:39:46.844-05:00Hey Kevin,
This is Yogesh hope you remember me. ...Hey Kevin,<br /><br />This is Yogesh hope you remember me. As told you earlier I really like the way you write and been avid follower of your blog. <br /> <br />Was really busy last few days and was not able to read your bogs and was trying to catch up on few when I came across this one. <br /><br />As you can recollect we always had bit of different way the things are over here in India, whether it might be basic etiquette or facilities over here. <br /><br />I am not trying to argue that you have said something wrong over, it’s perfectly right as against what you had experienced. But unfortunately most of the time you came across some worst part of it. However there are really much better places and people, experiencing them you might have some different view.<br /><br />As India been a large country with huge population and merely 50 yrs since independence, so it probability of finding better over worse is less which is other way round in US (though my stay in US is much less than your over here, I did came across few things which were not as expected).<br /><br /> As said India is developing country and I hope things improves in coming years, though minimum time frame is about 50 yrs (minimum 2 generations) and again in specific regions/states and not everywhere<br /><br />And also as always let me know if any grammatical mistakes. <br /><br />As told you earlier I can speak/write better Marathi (my native language) than EnglishAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525418313375434352noreply@blogger.com
