Jobless graduates in Mumbai apply to become coolies...

BCom student Ganesh Sanap is now busy applying for jobs. The latest job the 21-year-old third year student — who has also finished a course in computer hardware — has applied for is that of the post of a licensed porter in Central Railway.

"As long as I get a job which pays me a decent sum, I don't mind working as a coolie," Sanap said on Monday, after a test of his physical endurance at the Parel Railway Workshop grounds. The student of K J Somaiya, however, has not yet informed his parents.

"As long as I'm not doing anything illegal, I don't see why my parents would object," he added. Sanap was not the only person — looking to become a graduate soon — who was there at Parel, competing for a porter's job. There were, in fact, many more people — like Sagar Deshmukh and Madhav Avhad — who graduated a couple of years back but still came to apply for a porter's job on Monday. More...
