"Tata Consultancy Services, India’s largest IT outsourcing group by revenues, said it had sent home about 40,000 people working in the eastern Indian state of Tamil Nadu." Which means that if your going to call about BT, O2, or Barclays, then their help desk will also be unmanned!

i was watching the news about this, i know their a poor country but i notice nobody, in all their wailing and panicking, is carrying ANYTHING that could be useful in this situation, whilst i dont think for a minute they would have anything remotely like a BOB i would have thought in the time since the last tsunami at least a few people could have got together a small carrier bag of useful items, some food, a blanket, a tarpaulin and some rope etc.etc.-or am i thinking too westernised???
