economic girlie and I

Hm..just when you thought that postman had become postal worker and policeman had become policeofficer, 'economic girlie' hits you..and the response arnie got for the phrase should be a good enough reason to be anti-republican (what? i dont have a reason already?)..am officially a part of a feminist linguistic brigade (trumpets please)...no more girlie for wimpish references..boy will do just as adequately..hrmph.

speaking of trumpets, roll them again for the winner of yesterday's quiz..appu! she wins hands, feet and face down.why, in just a minute.lets give appu a moment or two to stand up in her workarea and do the war dance.hurrah! while her boss makes a silent mental note to get all employees to learn relaxation and stress-removal techniques from appu. Bravo! Appu scores a point with da boss..and sniff, all thanks to me!
and as to WHY she won hands down, simple.Everyone else was wrong.I prescribe an India trip for everyone who responded. Have you even SEEN how much ICICI is all over the country? most came up with BOB, tsk tsk.how antiquated. ICICI is the second largest bank in India guys.

Oh and everyone whoz homehunting..tune into NPR once in awhile...they doing a series of places to settle in, that are way cheaper than most in the bay area. covered Nicaragua today, in South America. Apparently for 250K n odd, you get, simply put, an island with a 2000 sq feet mansion.complete with the works, maids and gardeners inclusive. and you REALLY thot for a second about that two bedroom condo in south hayward in desperation?

btw..Al-Jazeera is gonna broadcast in India..must be a part of the trade-off for the truck drivers being released?
Hurricane hitting Florida again..guess the only ones profiting out of hurricanes are home-depots of the world..there is just a millisecond of a minute when i think that there is profit in disaster..but that immediately disappears, when my diet goes for a disaster everytime i profit in taste with hersheys. Bah, pseudocommunist too now.

On a slightly positive note, russian terrorists released 26 kids and women from the school they've occupied.btw.WHY dont they have a number to the total number of folks help captive?? its ranges from 120-700..the first day of school was apparently when lots of parents accompany kids, so its tougher to put a number to it.

Kobe Bryant case dismissed btw. and he apologized to the babe n all well for the lakers star..waittaminute? why did he apologize? should there be an investigation into THAT now?why would one say sorry if not, unless if guilty......stop!

Btw..have been reading in bits and pieces of dowry harassment..no, no..not wife's torturous existence, but the groom's..huh? apparently the new twist to dowry laws in india, especially andhra pradesh..is for babes to marry guys, mostly settled in the U.S and then accuse him of dowry harassment, get a divorce with a large compensation..will get more on pointless news like this later..now, onto the quiz...

this one is for the MBAs and the wannabe MBA's :-)
Which business guru postulated the I theory? for added info, Theory 'I' is an attempt to understand and define the Indian worker just like the Japanese had tried to do with their Theory 'Z'. The principles of 'Theory I Management' are that most Indians value emotions and long-term relationships and growth opportunities and commitment. It also states that Indians' cultural roots of tolerance often make them complacent and lack of patriotism at a macro level leaves us aimless.
