Get booked for life
The large
turnout of politicians and celebrities at the recent launch of Vikram
Seth’s new book ‘Two Lives’, is an indication of the increasing
popularity of publishing. Every week you read about a book launch or
book reading. Vikram Seth, Arundhati Roy, and Amitav Ghosh are today
mobbed by fans as much as any film star. New books and Indian authors
are the flavour of the day, as India takes its place in the
international publishing world. In fact, India has rapidly turned into
the prime source of academic literature on South Asia. India today
exports books, periodicals and journals worth crores.

deserve to." He elaborated, saying that women are apt to "wimp
out and go suckle something." Just
about the same time, a new survey announced that gender stereotypes
still exist in the workplace.

your career fears
Arvind Sharma

experience fear at certain points in our career. Maybe, it is the new
job we wanted to apply for, but were afraid we would not be chosen.
Maybe, it is the new idea we wanted to propose, but were afraid it would
be rejected.

interviews can be tricky
Amy Joyce
Oh,
to be among the wanted. That’s what many workers out there say when
they hear friends or colleagues moaning that they don’t know what to
do when a recruiter — or headhunter — calls them at work to tell
them about an exciting new job.
