Memory Lane - Where Are You Today, Raj, You Chain-Smoking Beast?

http://hindustan.net/discus/messages/60/13452.html?1089732759

This is to bring to your notice the unscrupulous practices followed by ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY LABS pvt. Ltd. a software "development" organization based in Chennai. The company has taken amounts ranging from Rs.1 lakh to 2.25 lakhs from approximately 3000 persons and as per the agreement has promised to pay the employees stipends of Rs.6500/- pm for the first three months and Rs. 10000/- pm for remaining training period ie 6months after which we were promised that we will be taken to the systems integration centre in US. But as it turned out the company does not have any projects to impart training , there have been no payments at all for the last four months and the very notion of the company existing is itself a big doubt.

Despite all this when we say that all we want to do was to learn and acquire the needed skills so that
we can build our careers we are prevented from doing this basic request of ours. Specious excuses that there has been a bomb planted in the office are given and the office is closed down for the Trainees until further notice. When we asked our CEO of the state of affairs in the company the reply
given was "Either you listen to me or you go court and let us meet there!" and threatens us that we
would be "fixed". We are bringing this to your notice so that gullible persons are not cheated henceforth and that something positive could be done about the state of affairs.

Now you may think that we are trying to sling mud on one of our enemies.Please ask your friends in Madras to checkup or you personally visit.

Many people sold their properties,mortgaged properties and joined advanced technology labs taking seriously the promises made by Rajkumar who claims to be an ex employee of IBM.

This gentleman Rajkumar never bothers to pay his employees the salaries and the student stipends but goes about in the streets of Madras with a posse of securitymen.

Over 4000 students have been cheated by Advanced technology Labs.The Press do not write about him as he feeds them with Full Page Advertisements.

Today some of the Labs in Chennai were closed because he did not pay the bills.

Sir/Madam,
The least you can do is to send this mail to as many people as you canso that awareness can created about such swindlers and as a result our coutry becomes a better place to live in ,bereft of all these conmen

Thanking You
Consultant Trainees in ATL

note :This company has a website .www.atlworld.com which is still under construction

Cute Perl One Liner

Just remember there's more than one way to do it and I'm not the smartest guy around..

Turn

1
1
1
1
1

into

1
2
3
4
5

That doesn't sound hard. But, what if you have 10 seconds to turn

ssd1
ssd1
ssd1
ssd1
ssd1

into .. well, you know..

Easy : Use NEdit (the best text editor) and select the column of 1's and then pipe through (ALT-r)

perl -p -e 's/./$./;'

Yes, $. (dollar period) means current input line number.

Turn a column of the same number into a sequence of uniformly increasing numbers using perl..
