Photography does not rank high on the list of hobbies for the average Malaysianindians?. Indians are not averse to photography, as can be attested to by any visit to a traditional Indian home, the walls are typically draped with large, elaborately framed family pictures. However, most Indians rely on studios and professional photographers to take formal pictures. For major occasions such as weddings, photographers are hired to record the proceedings. Why?

The question..
1. Are they lazy to snap pictures?
2. Expensive ‘Gadgets’?
3. Unaware of the photography world?
4. Shy to carry the around the equipment or snap infront of crowds?

It even worst, When comes to photography and videography, Its not possible for us to carry so many gadgets travelling around. Most of the point and shoot cameras have video mode which enable you to shoot short movies but you can’t do the same with an DSLR camera (profesional photography). So if you are carrying an SLR, you are forced to carry another camera which can record movies. If you are like me carrying more than one lens which is already a burden, carrying one more camera is a much bigger pain.

When it comes to take photo in public places or infront of a group of people we will feel uncomfortable. This is so common when you’re 1st start to snap pictures. Even myself felt the same way until now. I did the survey with some of my indian friends. These are the option they choose, supported by their answer. (Quite funny)

2. Expensive ‘Gadgets’?
eh.. bcoz its expensive. ppl rather invest the money in some other stuff eg cars, computers etc

Mr Mohan says:
1. Are they lazy to snap pictures?
they dont have interest..  so they are lazy to do it

Mr Vinoth says:
3. Unaware of the photography world?
alot of people dont see photography and photos as art, to them its just another picture

Ms Devi says:
3. Unaware of the photography world?
individual perferences

Ms Punitha says:

They just snap for fun, not as an interest. Because! most of the indians snap just for themselves..to keep it as their memories..

Mr Kavilan says:
1) not lazy, just dont have the skills
2) yep, expensive… im content wit simple shots from my camera fone
3) photography worls is just of no interest for me
4) not shy.. just dont wanna be carrying bulky equipment all around.. i only take photos on holiday trips

Hi to all. This is my first post in MIB and thanks to AMMU for ‘recruiting’ me in here:D I went for two major job fair in town : Jobstreet & JobsDB. I liked JobsDB better than Jobstreet although online wise Jobstreet is better:D

Job hunting has never been easier. That was the tagline used by JobsDB during the 2008 Career Fair in KLCC from 3. True to those words, the event was so user friendly. Each of the participants were given an electronic barcode which can be used to “scan” and upload the resume directly to the database. The respective company will then retrieve the resume later for processing. The process was so easy that hardcopy resume was not needed!

Fast forward to Jobstreet career fair recently held in Midvalley (4-6^th April). Participants were given a visitor sticker to be pasted on their shirt. Most of the companies that came for Jobstreet came for JobsDb. Besides that, hardcopy resume had to be used because they did not utilize the technology like how JobsDB used.

Coming months are going to be hectic for the fresh grads to look for jobs. How are the Indians performing when it comes to job searching? From the current news, it appears to be that Chinese fresh grads are employed easier and faster compared to other races. They have a dedicated Chinese workforce to help them get employed. My Chinese friends does not even have to answer any technical questions and yet gets employed. They have big advertisements in their vernacular newspapers. But what do we have? We need to do something about it and by we i meant the professional Indians. However, I have been receiving updates about jobs via email from TheMindBB. It is good effort by them. Before signing out, Happy Tamil New Year to all the people! J
