The latest victim of stress

Monday, 28 June 2010 16:14 by Sindhu Madhusudan
A former classmate of mine was getting ready to leave for work. He stepped out of his house at around 8 in the morning, walked towards his motorbike, kick-started it and dropped dead. His wife came running out of the house when she heard the bike crash on the cement floor. Post mortem dec... [More]

Oil price reform delivered with finesse

Friday, 25 June 2010 17:18 by Bala Murali Krishna
UPA-2 finally deregulated the price of petrol but not the price of diesel and maintained most of the subsidy on LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas. That is not to say it did not raise the price of diesel. It did by Rs. 2 but could make the political pitch that it is not allowing free pricing of diesel,... [More]

One in 50 Indians might be a crorepati!

Thursday, 24 June 2010 14:31 by Bala Murali Krishna
Just how many crorepatis does India have? With our vast reservoir of black money, and absurd income tax or wealth tax filings, or, for that matter, mandatory declarations by lawmakers, nobody quite knows. But imprecise calculations point at some answers. My basis for this is the World Wealth ... [More]

Ze FIFA Lunacy

Monday, 21 June 2010 16:25 by Sindhu Madhusudan
Sometimes, it is very comforting to be able to take things for granted. The contrary is true too. Take England for example. Or France or even Italy, for that matter. England: The ball hopped, skipped, jumped and walked into the goal post and everybody else watched, baffled. Since then, the e... [More]

Mukesh Ambani far from being conciliatory

Friday, 18 June 2010 14:13 by Bala Murali Krishna
In my last posting on the Ambani brothers, I am glad I put that question mark at the end of the headline: Growing Ambani bonhomie? Today’s annual general meeting of the Reliance Industries Limited shareholders, not to mention unfolding events over the past week, reiterate what I termed as foll... [More]

Let’s not turn Bhopal gas tragedy into a farce

Thursday, 10 June 2010 19:22 by Bala Murali Krishna
The turn of events after the criminal court’s verdict in the Bhopal gas tragedy case is a farce of a kind we alone are uniquely capable of enacting as a nation. It reinforces our belief that politicians are uncaring leaders with a great talent to escape responsibility and action, and reveals o... [More]

Let's ban politicians

Tuesday, 8 June 2010 22:41 by Viju Cherian
For some reason I don’t’ like cricket. By the time I started following cricket ‘men were playing at night’. So I can’t vouch by the ‘good ol’ days’ of cricket. I like the T20 as a format and I couldn’t care less for the ‘harm’ it does... [More]

Indigo Children

Sunday, 6 June 2010 15:50 by Sindhu Madhusudan
What is the one difference between lightning and my blog posts? The former doesn’t strike the same place twice; the latter doesn’t strike from the same place twice… from yet another new blog id, here I go. Yesterday a very close friend of mine told me that his elder... [More]

Growing Ambani bonhomie?

Wednesday, 2 June 2010 13:31 by Bala Murali Krishna
Almost everybody’s called wrong in the Ambani dispute, especially after the Supreme Court verdict. Most didn’t think a new round of negotiations over gas pricing would result in anything meaningful, and fewer still even considered a return to good old times. Both now appear plausible. ... [More]
