SynapseIndia review: Synapse India bad company 69

Hi,

I completely agree with you. This is a worst company.

Yes there is one more thing, when you leave the company they will not give you salary, releving letter and experince letter, but give u a list of rival companies that you could not join this.. this is the monopoly of company for the employee harshment...how crowl company it is...how can any on work here

they are posting spam on this to hide facts. same thing happen with me when i left synapse india. i was not gave papers, when i call they say they are busy call again. i am wating for salary after so many months. people at synapse india are no sensitve, i dont recive reply for mails.

Anyone who reads this post may naturally come to know about the IQ of the person who started this post. The English used here the quality of language and on top of all the username... Does a person with this intellect and always involved local official politics, eavesdropping, backbiting, does he/she even deserves to be continue his/her job in a company which is 8x6 hours/week 100% dedicated in meeting the deadlines and client's objective. The company which prioritizes his clients and his employees at the same level definitely has some limitations towards 'acceptable' performance and naturally cannot afford to have irresponsible employees. So what would a frustrated employee can do when he/she thrown out for being a non performer? Post negative reviews? I pity them and would suggest the moderators to remotely QA posts.

SynapseIndia is the biggest fraud company in IT sector. Its already famous among the programmers. All the HR department staff is totally professional & never think about the employee.

This is the true comment. I have experience becuase i was also part of ths company. synapse is like 2 year jail

As per advise from our lawyer, in order not to violate any terms of our agreement with Synapse I can not offer my opinion one way or another. All I can say is that we are going to be posting some facts about our experience and how and why our project was never completed, at the following site http://www.synapseindiacomplaints.com

I suggest you read this site before going to Synapse or any offshore development company

I also worked with synapse and it is completely tuuth synapse harass its employee and even worse they enjoy harrassing their employees. they like to cut salkaries as punishment for late coming they think if employee has filled bond he can't go anywhere for 2 years so they freely cut salaries.
i think all its employee should make a collective effort to make this compamy close thats only the solution for stop harrasssing employee.

Mr 'Synapse-Truth' in the above mentioned paragraph has said that "who has started this blog has very cheap knowledge of english and grammer". Mr Synapse-Truth i want to ask you one thing only...Can any one be evaluated on the basis of his/her grammatical knowledge only?. This is a truth that you people make fools to every employee. Only few to whom you keep in your control by hook[Money] or crook[Power]. I also read in any of the above mentioned paragraph that "if a company is going on successfully since last 7-8 years then it is undoubtly a good company", No its not... it does'nt means that it would be a good company. Mr. Shamit Khemka has many resources to earn the money and he buys all the people. Specially local Police, IT-Agencies resources and other pointers which need to run a company successfull and i am not writing this as i want to pull down a company repo. instead i am writing the truth... Please folks... PLZ...PLZ dont join Synapse...if you dont want to make your life hell

Yes it is truth, some old employee of SynapseIndia making this company hell and few of them have no zero knowledge even they dont speak hindi correct ...

Yes it is true and some old employee of SynapseIndia making this company hell and few of them do not have zero knowledge even they dont speak hindi correct ...

I was working in synapseindia [synapse india] before some time, now i left the company, this is one of the worst company in my life, senior employee of this company having zero knowledge and they do not want to hire knowledgeable persons and if by mistake any one join than they try to harass them by irrelevant way.

1- Which company you are going to join
2- If you open the name then it issue you a black list companies where you can not join [this list also has the name of company that you are going to join]
3- not give you releving letter and experince letter at the time of leaving just give you a bonafide certificate [very high rule as much not still adoped by IBM, Microsoft etc companies ]
4- Synapseindia will put you on hold more then 30 days with out reason [just watching how eary your new company tell you please do not join, just a policy to play with the future of a employee who search this company more then years]
5- Open bugs against you, so you will frustate solving
5- when you are finlaly going to left this company then give him all the details like your home address, perment address, phone number, your reletives address etc[like you are going to announce TADIPAR]
7- Then you start calling and mailling synapseindia to release my salary, its totaly depend on the company that they will give you salary of one-two months or not.

So, before going to join this bad company read this and think two times, even 10 times, as now this company may be No.1 in client satisfaction but there is not employee satisfaction, even they will not allow you to take good breath after leavng the company

In addition to your list..check this link and read the comment from renowned news paper on “SHAMIT KHEMKA”, “CEO”, “SYNAPSE COMMUNICATION NOIDA”
http://www.telegraphindia.com/990727/

List of Cases against its employee by Synapse India
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B077-OqV7YLuSUhfUkhDSXQxcWM
By checking list its clear that its a scam going on. Company is same, Judge is same, Lawyer is same & Synapse is involved in this from year 2006. There are 173 victims according to this list & don't know how many are there who settled out of court & those who are suffering currently under their company. The list is endless.

This company is like a hell for 2 years. Policies of Shamit Khemka's company are harassing its employees, by sending notices of data theft and 2 lakhs bond under section 138 which is a criminal offense. Though employees work honestly there but when they want to throw ant employee out of the company they start harassment of the employee by cutting salary and putting the same on hold, by putting bugs unnecessarily. When employee leaves the company after getting harassed the company deposit the cheque in the bank and file criminal case against the employee after it gets bounced. Some Culprits are Paritosh Aggrawal, Monica Bithar, Shravan Kumar, Tripti Dixit, Kapil Gupta, Shamit Khemka, Khushboo Kamboj(The Great Randi of Saharanpur, Noida and Shamit Khemka)

This company is just spoiling the professional career of employees. They nonscence has hired lawyer to file cases on innocent employees rather than hiring psychiatrist for their owner and other employees are ready to serve them in any situations.

Heroine - The film is based on the life and times of a superstar heroine from the dream factory we call 'Bollywood'. The film is an entertaining, daring, emotional, shocking, glamorous, scandalous behind the scenes account of the reality behind the world of glitz and glamour that our film stars inhabit. For a country obsessed with films and film stars, Heroine will take audiences on a voyeuristic journey to see what really goes on behind the closed doors of make up rooms and vanity vans. It will give them a chance to go beyond the gorgeous smiles and politically correct quotes, to see what really happens in the lives of India 's sweethearts - The sniping & the politics, the secrets & the lies, the incredible highs of fame & the lonely depths of failure.

Review Burfi - The movie is an absolute treat...while watching it I got the same goosebumps as during Amelie or say life is beautiful. And ranbir - my god...all I can say is that he is the Roberto benigni of the Indian cinema...after a long time a Hindi movie with flavours of some of the most exotic European cinema.

Please eat or you are not going to lose weight, says Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor, the size zero protagonist, standing a popular notion on its head.

"As an actress, who works 18-20 hours a day under gruelling circumstances, shooting all nights; playing and feeling a range of emotions, (sometimes, I have to dance in the rain trying to look beautiful and, above all, trying to stay slim) my stomach makes a call of hunger. And like a good girl, every 2-3 hours I attend to it, " writes Kareena Kapoor in a new book, "Women and The Weight Loss Tamasha" (Westland Ltd) authored by her fitness trainer Rujuta Diwekar, the driving force behind Kareena's "size zero" look.

Kareena advises women "to slip in a slice of cheese, some peanuts and an apple in their handbag" to take care of the intermittent pangs of hunger.

Snack through the day
According to Diwekar, the best-selling author of "Don't Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight", the "four cardinal principles of eating right are to eat something within the first 10-15 minutes of waking up, eating every two hours, eating more when you are active and less when you are not; and finishing your last meal at least two hours prior to sleeping".

Diwekar, who works out of Mumbai, is the winner of the Nutrition Award 2010 from the Asian Institute of gastroenterology. One of the most sought after fitness trainers in the country, she advises Kareena Kapoor, Anil Ambani, Preity Zinta, Saif Ali Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma on their fitness and weight programmes.

Diwekar, who busts several myths about weight in her new book, says "if you are enjoying something, it will burn the fat for you".

"Get off it. Bananas, mangoes, chole puri, gulab jamun, the 'chutney' with the 'idli', the coconut in your curry and the ghee on your 'khichdi', are not fattening, " Diwekar says.

Eat on time
Post-marriage, everybody gains weight; both men and women, but somehow it is much more apparent in women, Diwekar says. "After marriage, women are conditioned to not just give up their name, home and hearth but also other things that are intrinsic to our core food, meal size and meal timings. All these changes manifest themselves as weight gain, " Diwekar says.

Changes in meal and sleep timings tinker with the levels of Vitamin B stores. The deficiency in Vitamin B levels makes sleepy heads out of us every morning even if one has slept for eight hours, Diwekar says.

"It causes constipation, bloating and mood swings, " Diwekar says.

Not eating at the right time compels married women to binge at strange hours - disrupting the balance of nutrients in diets and triggering an abrupt aging in the process. The fitness expert says even the way the "bhindi (ladyfinger) is cut at the in-laws' home makes a change, along with the way food is cooked and the spices used".

Keep mommy weight in control
Switch to child birth. The "mommy body" tends to weigh a little more than usual in the first three to four months of child-birth, the fitness expert says.

"There are two things one should know. If you are nursing, you will end up weighing a little more because of the extra tissues and fluids in the body. The body wants to store energy reserves for the daily tasks of waking up early, feeding the baby. The second thing is that there is an evolutionary reason for the bulge around the navel - it safeguards the mother's body against diseases and food scarcity, " Diwekar says.

The exercise and diet programme one must adopt to lose weight for this period should be one to "gain in lean body weight - which could sometimes lead to an increase in actual body weight - to become yummy mummies, " she says.

The best way to leash the menopausal fat is to adopt a combination activity-based leisure regimen, curbing the irritation, nutrient rich diet; and love and affection towards the body.

"Menopause is a stage that should be considered a normal part of the life cycle - only then will your body feel normal and stress-free. Just as menarche marks the beginning of the menstrual cycle, menopause marks the end - so just treat it as an ending. It is also the beginning to a new phase in a woman's life, " Diwekar says.

The moral: It is always possible to look and feel 25 at 50.

It has been reported that Shilpa Shetty's little sister Shamita Shetty is in love. You must be guessing who's the lucky one? Well, surprisingly it's none other than Priyanka Chopra's rumoured ex-boyfriend Harman Baweja.

A source informed a leading daily that the couple have just started dating each other. But, the smart couple prefers to keep their relationship status under wraps. When the daily asked both Shamita and Harman about their affair, the duo concluded the topic by stating that there were 'just friends.'

Shamita, who had acted just in few films, failed to make it big in Bollywood. Even Harman Baweja's Bollywood career graph hasn't been too exciting. Baweja hit the headlines a few years back for his alleged affair with Priyanka Chopra, until they split mutually. But, now it seems that Shamita and Baweja have discovered love in each other.

CHAL PICHCHUR BANATE HAIN is a refreshing story idea. Although we have seen films like LUCK BY CHANCE, KHOYA KHOYA CHAND and more recently, MERE DOST PICTURE ABHI BAAKI HAI, this film is not repetitive in the sense that there is no sense of having seen it. The reason being, it is totally and outsider's perspective and his journey of following his passion of film-making.

Suraj (Rahil Tandon) is a successful MBA who is on the cusp of a career-breakthrough. He has just been selected by his firm for a transfer in the UK with a fancy salary. His friends are happy, his parents are over-the-moon and his girlfriend's parents are already making marriage plans. But there is one hitch: Suraj is unfazed by this development; all he wants is to pursue his childhood dream of scripting, directing and producing films. And to pursue this dream of his, he lets go of this very exciting offer that can stabilize him and his family, financially.

His to-be-in-laws are shattered, his dad is worried and his friends think he is nuts. Then begin his rounds to break into the periphery of the filmi duniya. He starts by getting employed to erect movie hoardings and soon moves into assisting on film sets before moving onto another producer and then finally leaving this job to concentrate on making his own movies.

Before long, he realizes that his family is in a financial mess and his retired dad can no longer manage the household while his younger sister does whatever she can through her job. Reality dawns on Suraj that the film world looks good from the outside but from within, it is a different struggle altogether. There are assistant directors struggling for years for their big break and assistants working on sets to stay connected with the big wigs. But breaks don't come easily... at least not for anyone from outside the industry.

Although director Pritish Chakraborty has not dwelt on nepotism, it is one underlying fact that comes out loud and clear; if Suraj was the son of a well-known actor, producer or director... his life would not have been a struggle. Breaks would have come by the dozen! Even after flops... but that would be a script for another film. Maybe Part II.

Rahil Tandon essays the role of a fresh MBA with his eyes on 70mm with ease. You can easily identify with his character. Although his performance is not powerful, he makes you believe in his character and takes you through his frustration. Bhavana Ruparel as Merlena, on the other hand is a powerful performance. She is in sync with the role she plays. A talent to watch out for. Absolutely comfortable with any scene she is asked to perform with a terrific body language.

Director Pritish Chakraborty has most of the nuances of this plot in tune. The bit struggle, the frustration, the angst of his parents, the indifference of the industry and the blatant plagiarism are dealt with well. A song in particular sensitizes the way the industry works today with lyrics that go thus... 'Original ka gaya zamana, sab copy paste hai. Ctrl C, Crtl V'

The sore point here is that Chakraborty overshoots the climax by 20 minutes. Once the hero gets his break, Chakraborty goes into another sub-plot that brings all his hard work of building up the plot crashing down. It's like a guest who becomes a pest when he has overstayed his welcome.

Many mommies have walked down the stardust sprinkled gullies of B-town. And among them lately have been Lara Dutta, Celina Jaitley, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shilpa Shetty. So while this mommy trend is on a rise with Twinkle Khanna and Amrita Arora also walking those same lanes, we take a look at two fairly new mothers – Shilpa and Lara – who have come back into public view…and in style!

Shilpa Shetty

Spotted at a recent do, the lady looked ravishing in a white Indian ensemble. But while the dress might get some brownie points for making Viaan Raj Kundra’s mommy so pretty, we’re proud of Shilpa for maintaining such a glowing complexion and for looking so happy, presumably from within more than courtesy the blusher. So what’s the secret, Mommy dearest? Is it your love for your son that’s showing, or is it the result of hubby Raj Kundra’s endless pampering?

Lara Dutta

While we’ve seen Shilpa looking pretty in her almost-back-in-shape figure, we have Lara Dutta, who’s not quite there as far as her form goes. Even so, Mrs Bhupathi nails the elegant look with an elaborate silk sari and her hubby Mahesh Bhupathi as delicious accessory. Kudos, Momzie, for such graceful conduct!

Here are the latest pics of these stylish mommies!

The film stars Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Shreyas, Talpade, Madhhurima, Asrani, Shakti Kapoor, Neeraj Vora, Razak Khan. Anjana Sukhani will be seen in a hot item number.
The music is composed by duo Sajid-Wajid, lyrics written by Jalees Sherwani and Wajid. The action has been designed by Thagrajan and Abbas Ali Mogul, while the choreography is done by Prasanna & Pony Verma.

Synopsis:

Bakri Johny! That's the insinuating cry of every man, woman and child in this village when they see Johny (Shreyas). Afraid of everything and everyone, Johny is one terrified soul. Born into the household of David (Om Puri), a local farmer and being the only son, Johny does what he's best at to help his ailing father... Nothing! Other than buying lottery tickets every week. The only thing going in his life is his love for Maria (Madhhurima) the daughter of the village's biggest gunda and sworn enemy of David... Peter (Paresh Rawal). Armed with two herculean son's, Peter goes to all ends to make sure his daughter and Johny never marry, until one day, hope comes in the form a silent, strong but very hungry man, Sam (Nana Patekar). What happens next is a complete dhamaal of fun, action and drama resulting in one very Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal!

The two were recently spotted at PVR cinema and just when they saw the shutterbugs around, they started escaping as if they have committed a crime. While Anushka used her long mane to conceal her face, Mr Singh looked down coyly and blushed like never before

Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh are known for sharing are a love-hate relationship. Right from quarrelling with each other on chat shows to getting all pally behind the cameras, the Band Baaja Baarat actors have been going through a fluctuating relationship for quite some time now. Although the bone of contention between them keeps changing, we think Ranveer’s friendship with Sonakshi Sinha still remains the main one. Now there’s no denying that this is one helluva confused B-town couple. They can go to any extent to hide their offscreen chemistry from those around them, but little do they realise that the mask slips every now and then and that something is brewing between them is fairly obvious. All we can say is, Ranveer and Anushka please stop playing hide-and-seek with the media. Are you just in a state of shock that Ladies vs Ricky Bahl flopped or are you still trying to figure out your relationship?

Whatever may be your reason, we suggest you take a chill pill, ‘coz you guys are still young and we would be happier if you get more wild rather than get more secretive!

After a brief modelling career, Anushka Sharma made a dream debut in Bollywood opposite Shahrukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, before playing the hot bod in the recently released Badmaash Company. The actress who now has her hands full with films like Patiala House and Shaadi Mubarak tells us how taking up fitness seriously has made her a calmer person today.

You literally danced your way into Bollywood with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Is dance a way of working out for you?
Although dancing is a great form of exercise and I love it, it doesn't really feature in my regular workout regimen. Dance is more of a cardiovascular workout and as a person who doesn't put on weight easily, I don't need to go high on cardio, really. It's very important to know your body type before embarking on a fitness regimen, so that you choose one that gives you maximum results.

So, what is the fitness regimen you follow?
Until recently, I was doing 4 days of weight training for an hour. However, after having experienced yoga during a recent trip to Ananda in the Himalayas, I'm looking at taking up yoga seriously. In the few yoga sessions that I did there, I saw a completely different me. I was feeling better, had more energy and the glow on my skin was hard to miss. I immediately knew this was what I needed. Yoga disciplines you more than anything else, something that is crucial, given the chaotic lives we lead.

And how do you ensure that discipline in your fitness schedule?
Since there is no alternative to keeping fit, ensuring the discipline is a given. One has to understand that exercising triggers your happy hormones. There was a time when fitness was nowhere in my scheme of things, given my lean frame. Back then, on most days, I would feel exhausted and sulk. It was then that my friends told me to start working out. And within a very short time, there was a difference in the way I thought and worked.

Ever since, I've taken it up religiously. And no matter how busy I keep, I never compromise with my workout schedule. If I'm unable to exercise in the morning, I make sure I do so in the evening. And if I'm shooting at a faraway location, I make sure I go for a jog or a walk and eat right.

How much of it is diet for you?
The right diet contributes to about 60 per cent of keeping your body weight in check. You have to know what works for you and what doesn't. For instance, a low-carb, protein-rich diet doesn't work for me. So, I eat everything in moderate proportions. I make sure I have a fruit or two every day for my share of anti-oxidants. But again, salads are something that don't work at all for me. The key is to maintain a healthy balance between eating well and exercising right, be it to keep your weight in check or get that glow on your skin.

So, is that the secret to your fabulous skin?
To a large extent, what you eat has a lot to do with the way your skin looks. But it's also important to know your skin well. Since my skin is continuously overexposed to harsh lights and heavy make-up, I refrain from using too many artificial cosmetics. Natural formulations work best for me. However, I religiously wash my face every night with a creamy cleanser and apply a cocoa butter lotion.
