It refers to people who have been laid off from a multinational because their job has been moved to India - a business practice designed to save money that is arousing passions in some countries, especially Britain and the United States. I understand that due to the efforts of the government (of Karnataka) a while back, 'Bangalore' has become 'Bangaluru'... I seriously doubt if anyone or anything, even jobs, can be 'Bangalurued'... What say!??Roshmi Sinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514206548071810133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497365998253757989.post-70623386935512106872009-04-20T14:21:00.000+05:302009-04-20T14:21:00.000+05:30kolkata autos beat dem all. they've got our CM sca...kolkata autos beat dem all. they've got our CM scared in putting his foot down :)sayremhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539385868548798531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497365998253757989.post-10156562955132382532009-04-17T14:33:00.000+05:302009-04-17T14:33:00.000+05:30Cool!!
