Nearly Eight weeks since, the Petrol prices were raised and the lending rates of the Banks increased. The acclaimed “Dream Team” of Montek, Manmohan and Chidambaram’s acumen of FINE Economics has brought us to an unhealthy state of 13% inflation. The “AAM AADMI” is left lurching in the Scorching flames of fiery Commodity prices. The FM had vehemently and immaturely attributed the rise in prices of Edible Oils, cereal grains and the double digit inflation to the sharp rise in Crude Oil Prices, which was at its maximum of $150 a barrel, the Inflation index at this stage measured in the whereabouts of 8-9%, now when the Oil prices have fallen significantly and have settled at about $115 a barrel the Inflation is at 13%. Sadly inflation has continued to rise for 3 consecutive weeks. The hike in CRR has also not helped in curtailing the vices of high inflation. Still, the Govt continues to downplay the issue, and is not ready to accept it as a national concern and call far a Parliamentary

The Olympics has just ended and it has given us a couple of more reasons to cheer and look forward for the next edition. A Bronze in 2000, Silver in 2004, and this time we have a Gold (after 28 Yrs and the first in an Individual Event), and 2 bronze medals, in Wrestling and Boxing. The Growth has definitely been progressive, but the Star that Shone today fails to shine again. In 1996 Indian Tennis received a Shot in the Arm with Paes winning a Bronze, In 2000 Weight-Lifting, thanks to Karnam Malleshwari; 2004 Silver in Trap-Shooting, a fete well accomplished by Rajyavardhan Rathod the Flag bearer of the Indian Contingent at Olympics, this time. It is Unfortunate that we haven’t been able to repeat the act, whether it is the same Star or the same event, we have not achieved the target for a second time, Only Individual performances on the given day and for given Circumstances have put Indian name on the medals tally (in plain words, it makes one doubt that it

Nearly 20 days now and I’ve not posted on my blog. Though a relief for my readers, I’m loosing out on the immense pleasure that rushes in my veins, when the ink exudes on to the paper. The very reasons that kept me away from my blog have been the driving point in this post. When I sat back, letting my feet wet, by the tiny droplets of rain percolating through the plastic roof of my balcony and thought, over a cup of hot badam milk, did I realize, the reasons that mired my literary escapades being, a religious function at my house, the technological overloading as part of an ambitious effort to put my “CAREER” an TRACK, the myriad of Sporting Actions on the television (The Premier League, Olympics and the !dea Cricket Cup), the dose of viral symptoms for this calendar served against my will to post on my blog. But most important and comprehensible reason was that I stayed away from my “Corner”. Yeah, the 2”X6” mat at the corner of the Room, w

For “Gods Sake”, Fight U may; But Do it not, the brutal Way. Terror Terror Go Away; Is What the Govt., wants to Say, Don’t Make the Innocents pay, And Dump your Bombs In the Bay. We Beg, Plead and Also Pray; Terror Terror Go Away. Do u think, this kind of Nursery Rhymes, will help tackle the Security Issues staring starkly at the face of the Nation. At the SAARC meet, apparently this was what done by Mr. PM; The newspapers Heralded nationwide in Bold Letters “IND DELIVERS A TOUGH MESSAGE TO PAK”. In the past 2 weeks there have been more than 10 counts of breach of LOC and the Ceasefire sponsored by the Pak Army and Masterminded by the ISI, we are just so content in Delivering a Message at a Cozy meet. There is a need for more robust and standalone laws and a dedicated federal unit to implement them, equipped to take the terror bulls by the horn. 80’s and Early 90’s saw the birth of various terror groups around the peripherals of the country, and nearly three decades into it and still w
