Snake Charmers,Cows & Call Centers
First it were the Snake charmers & Cows . Now its the turn of Call centers. Any global business magazine, invariably has a story on India ( At least a story a month) . And the photo which adorns the story is the photo of a " Call center" or a " Call Center Worker" . Last heard, the snake charmers & cows were terribly unhappy that they have been dropped from that special privilege.
