makes me think

Indians abroad sent $27 bn home in 2007

wow.... now, this makes me think....

1. how many of these ppl will return to india?

2. with IT companies boom coming down

a) how this trend wil be?
b) what will happen when the boom becomes bearish! ?

3. where has all the money gone?
( the poor being poorer , the rich getting richer- thalaivar sonnathu right than! )


this also made me think




but when microsoft urged america to increase h1-b visa, india is on rough patch with microsoft.

i think microsoft is jus playing the machiavelli trick.

ps: niccolo machiavelli is like the chanakiyan of the west!

more abt him

indha chinna vayasulae embutu yosikarae!!!! :)

Most of that money are dumped into the real estate or is used to bring down the real value of money.

Poorer being poorer!!! Apdi thonalae...

I think only the lazy (didn't get the right word) are getting poorer. Today, anyone who is smart enough and is ready to work can make plenty of money, legally.

btw whats that India-M$ problem??

@raz
i think u r speaking abt the OOXML standard that India is gonna vote against, Microsoft visa koduka sonnadhukaaga naama oru opperaadha standard a othuka mudiyaadhu.

\\rich becoming richer, poor becoming poorer\\
this is bcoz of our arasiyal thalaivars and stupid thondargal. NRIs have no link to this. I think we shud also get a statistics of how much money from india is invested in foreign banks like credit suisse etc. adhu indha amt oda jaasthiya irukumnu nenaikaren

Hmmm.. Nalla sindhanai thaan..

We do not know where all the money has gone, but as Vetty Officer has put it, it is most probably one of the reasons for making real estate's prices go sky high..

And about rich getting richer and poor, poorer, that is one of the main evils of capitalism. I don't buy the argument of 'if you're talented enough, you will find your ways of getting richer'. How will one describe the damage that the so called 'Green Revolution' has left on the Indian farmers? They were made to use more and more fertilizers and take more and more loans resulting in more and more suicides. While we happily write poems, sing songs when it rains during summer, there are farmers who have practically lost everything to the rain at unusual times.

What about the street hawkers and 'maligai kadai' owners who are soon going to run out of business due to the influx of private players in the retail sector (we know the kind of impact that Walmart left on the mom and pop stores in the US). Do we call these streer hawkers dumb because they dont know the ways to tackle this problem and make money 'legally'?

And the list goes on... :|

*Sighs*

Onnumae puriyala ba!

27$bn..wow thts huge! And as Vetty Officer a.k.a Pratheesh pointed out...its not the story of poor getting poorer these days. You have to only have some education and you are set!

Chak De India!

wow. I am impressed that you actually know about ooxml and all :) Well, anywayz indian companies showed their mentality of security their moolah.. Now we have to live with that ooxml crap.

Well, all that these guys abroad have done is boom our real-estate to levels unreachable by common people. Do you have any idea about how many houses are empty down ECR with the expectation that some wealthy america-return would pay with suitcases for it??
