movers of economy

you can either look at the girls or drive the car. doing both at the same time can lead to accidents.

with that i remember that girls are the major movers of the economy [no references to indira nooyi and such - with all due respects, they are just flash in the pans]. when i say movers of the economy i mean that half of the money is transacted in some or the other way because of them. here are some examples which support the percentile figure:-

1. last year more than 850 tonnes of gold was consumed in india. shall we dare look at the calculations? [850X1000X1000]gms X [approx. Rs.] 850, comes out to 722500000000 which after inserting commas looks readable as seventy two thousand two hundred and fifty crores. which means if all these females engroup they can buy tata out :O

enough of calculations, now some philosophical examples:-

2. petrol & automobile industry - more cars are bought and more fuel is consumed by guys to ferry their wives and girl friends from shopping markets [another keg in the wheels of economy] or their homes to and from their own abodes to keep the dollar always above rs. 40 mark

3. health & cosmetics industry - everybody knows about the story of fair & lovely and lux. no point repeating. but more and more money is being pumped into slimming centers and sauna belts and weight-loss medicines and what not by all these females into health industry. not to mention the number of guys suffering from heart diseases on the count of girls.

4. telecom industry - more guys buy mobile phones to talk to their girl friends and take broadband internet to chat on yahoo! with girl friends than those who take it for business. no wonder they say india has one of the fastest growing telecom industry.

5. advertisement - i wonder if i ever will shave my beard if they stop showing that hot babe in the gillette razor ad. i mean i have never understood the point of showing luscious thighs in potato chips ad or that eye-popper cleavage in that SUV ad or that skirt swirling gig in that pain-killer ad. but i guess i would indeed stop shaving and people will stop eating, driving and hurting themselves if any of these product stop showing these hot things in all the more not nothings :p
