You must be in the Gulf. Did I guess it right? :)
Yes, you guessed it right. I am in Dubai on a project. Everywhere you look, you see Indians. Many of these guys are working here for long hours with minimal wages. I saw a guy working for about 700 Dirhams per month, which works out to around 7300 rupees at the present exchange rate. It is a very measly amount to work for around 300 days in a year. These guys get one day off in a week and 5 casual leaves in a year.
For those of us who get salary in Indian Rupee, the strengthening rupee is a boon since we can buy foreign products at a cheap rate. But every 1 rupee increase in exchage rate impacts their savings negatively by about 5-6%.
Very sad, some of these stories....
The description of the place is similar to Namma Bengaluru too :-)
