The most lucrative area might be a protester training institute. No problems for placements there... I was held up for a hour and a half today morning because protesters were blocking the NOIDA entrance road from Delhi. There was a traffic jam kilometers long all over the freeway. ANd this was at 9 AM. Thousands got late, work suffered etc etc But what was the protest about? No idea!! No one at office knows.... the protesters weren't distributing pamphlets or anything.. they were hardly interested in the people they had delayed or were watching them protest. There were no signs or banners. Only a bunch of idiots shouting slogans and waving the party flags. For photographers and TV news people... And that's about all protests are for. TV channels. I can respect someone's right to protest and free speech... but respect my right to reach office on time. And who are these people who protest at 9AM on weekdays? What do they tell their bosses....
