Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

CAKEWALK FOR JOBSEEKERS?

Here are some interesting findings from a Nielsen India Study conducted in Dec.2010 (Times of India/Jan 12, 2011):

 Of the 626 Indian male executives surveyed,

·        85 % believe clean-shaven men get to attend meetings and   travel out of the office

·        86 % felt, when it comes to promotion, clean-shaven men have upper hand

·        73 % said women like to accompany clean-shaven men to party
  
Of the 414 women bosses surveyed,

·        90 % preferred clean-shaven men

·        79 % felt clean-shaven men have successful careers

·        66 % believe getting a job is a cakewalk for clean-shaven men

·        66 % prefer taking a clean-shaven man to meet her parents

At least in India, bearded men seem to face a bleak future!

Blessed are the clean-shaven for they shall inherit the earth!
