Government Jobs

First let me establish that this is no government job notification. I am assuming that the keyword will get a lot of hits owing to our ardent undying love for government jobs. Sometimes, people might not even look to see what the job might entail and go cuckoo over the tag. Though the fanboyism is a little less now, with Manmohan Singh having dashed to save our economy in early 90s and trashing the "License Raj", we still see lot of youth focusing solely on such jobs for their prospective marriage proposals depend upon them. I kid you not, lot of arranged marriages in India still give lot of 'weight age' to government babus. In simple terms, the stigma of a secure job has been the true evil cause of a lot of arranged "love less" marriages.
My ancestral place is a small village where the tradition of arranged cum surprise marriage is still something that has been a continued trend. People only get to see their faces once the deal is made and the marriage is done. There is no backing out for marriages are like a bond, there are paid for and you get the amount on maturity or else, it is essentially your loss.
 So, drawing in an example, I heard my Mom mentioning an amusing yet true story wherein a guy who is a clerk in a government bank has pegged quite a good price( not in an auction) in a marriage proposal. With a government job at hand, he is seen as a golden bird amidst the farmers. I am sure, he is being pitched as the next big thing in the village after the guy who is now a peon at the magistrate's office.
Enough with the marriage though, lets now move onto few amazing job profiles offered by the Indian government. Hailed as the Google of the government sector, the DRDO will offer you an amazing working environment. Better part being, DRDO gives you a feel at home environment, as in literally. You can just stretch out in your arm chair with a newspaper in your hand, and that will be pretty much your entire career's achievement. With an impeccable record of procrastinating and squandering away government's funds, the DRDO fancies 100% government perks and privileges. In an ideal sense, this is the job where this line holds apt "Yahan chaddar odh kar 20 saal so jayiye aur retirement ke samay uth ke chale jayiye, koi kuch nahi kahega". I remember someone telling me once, that the DrDL under the DRDO actually stands for "Dheeraj Rakho, Der Lagegi".
So, if you don't see yourself as the most hard-working intellectual being around, you might consider the government sector. You might not be able to ever drive a BMW, or own a big villa or be able to give your children foreign education, but you certainly wouldn't be the one falling of Statesman building just because the stock market crashed.
