The global cascade: Lehman seals our marriage plans
Because of Richard Fuld, the nuptial desires of millions of IT folks is at risk. Well, that is the best inference I could make after reading through a web article, wherein it was mentioned that back in India, the wise fathers are quite wary of giving their daughters away to IT folks due to the current economic crisis wave that is rising to crash upon their blooming career.
While I am not going to use this post to analyse the veracity of above fear, what I am presently pondering about is what might happen if the IT folks affected with the prospect of not being married, queue up outside the Finance ministry and ask for some bail out package! And what if all fathers who already made the plunge, formed a separate queue to ask for a different bail out package!!
Imagine P. Chidambaram making an address to all fathers of the ‘Brides-to-be’ that things are under control and it is ‘safe’ to invest their daughters in IT folks’ life; Followed by a bailout package if things go wrong later!
Guess that should be the last thing that Chidambaram ever imagined in his deliverables as the Finance Minister…
