Life in the times of recession

It was morning 8.00. I was just starting my work at office. I got a call from a number which is not saved in my contact list. I could recognize the voice of Damodar, one of my team members during my Novell System Testing days. He is from Orissa, married and built his house in Electronic city few years back. I know that he has moved out of Novell after I left. "Baiju, I was in Orissa for new year vacation, came back and went to office on a Monday and found that I have lost my job". He sounded not shattered with this. I thought about his family, his housing loan, what would have he told to to his wife when he first heard this bad news, to his parents. I am glad about his optimism. Otherwise its very difficult during these tough days.I told him don't worry. Lets try out.
