I am also from the same very famous IT bellwether, Most of the employees dont even have admin rights enabled on their machice, so one can forget about installing their fav compiler.

I felt as though i am a idiot. I went on to learning ruby,Obj C and made myself a mobile developer, now i can sleep well, feeling worthy of having a brain.

There are only a handful of people who can be called as programmers in these indian IT companies, rest of them are just code monkeys.

And thanks to Kamaal for he is the one who introduced me to HN :) and congrant to you on moving on.
