I am blessed with friends who are economists, bankers, politicians and journalists. And all of them are giving me sound advice on how to deal with the financial crunch. “Take all your money out of the bank and keep it in biscuit jars,” one told me, adding, “That’s the best way to deal with the situation.
” Marvelling at how he knew my worldly fortunes would fit into a biscuit jar, I was about to

The US election has caught the fancy of the entire world. From Nigeria to France to Chavez in Venezuela, everyone wants a vote. This isn't just because the US is the most powerful nation on Earth that influences the rest, its also because of the refreshing and inspiring Barack Obama. He's new, he's unconventional, he's educated, he's not pedigree, he's an aam aadmi and he's dark skinned. Ha

Americans,” Barack Obama said during his election campaign, “still believe in an America where anything’s possible. They just don’t think their leaders do.” It is the achievement of the 47-year-old president-elect to have convinced the rest of the world too of the possibility of that America. In a world stricken too long with exasperation with, and even anger at, the United States, Obama’s victory

India is facing an extraordinary unrest and angst from the region of Indus to the land of Brahmaputra. I am filing this column a bit late from Tsangtse, on way to Chushul, where the famous battle of Rezangla took place in November 1962 under the leadership of Major Shaitan Singh. Having just crossed the mesmerizing flow of river Indus and seeing the Chinese post across Pengong, I was reminded of A

Americans can definitely look forward to an interesting coming few days. Halloween is just a couple of days away, on October 31 and elections are coming up in a week's time. The mood depicts a heady mix of the two.
Barack Obama and John McCain are becoming popular candidates as Halloween subjects, for pumpkin carving, too.
Hugh Mc Mahon who has been carving pumpkins for the last 30 years is one

The shenanigans of Raj Thackeray and his Maharashtra Navnirman Sena have shocked Indians everywhere. It is likely that such scenes — of young men being beaten up and taxis being bashed in — might have seemed less horrifying had they occurred elsewhere. But the fact that such mayhem and cold-blooded violence can occur, and continue unchecked in the country’s most developed and progressive city, has

The crisis has been with us for some time. It is now six weeks since Lehman Brothers went under; it is three weeks since Iceland’s prime minister warned that that country was close to national bankruptcy. Over the past few weeks there has been a flurry of high-level meetings, as global decision-makers slowly begin to understand that this is not a run-of-the-mill sort of crisis, this is something t

I have great respect for the youth of today. I come into contact with them in all ways – through my stint as a judge for reality shows like Indian Idol, in college fests, through my son – and I admire them in many ways. In all honesty, I do feel that they are morally a better generation than the previous ones. For example, in all these reality shows I was part of, I noticed how sporting they all w

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh chose a Keynesian pitch at the Asian European Summit in Beijing, and committed India to large-scale infrastructure projects to revive domestic demand. But the scope for increasing Government expenditure on infrastructure to pump-prime the Indian economy today is limited compared to what can still be achieved through improving liquidity in the financial system.
