Worst week..

This is how this last week/weekend go for me.

Two days in a row I wake up to news of blasts in two cities.
Third day was a lot better: they found two live bombs and defused them. Good job
Fourth day: they found 16 more live bombs in Surat. That was some relief. Great job.

Well needless to say the biggest relief came with the Union Home Minister's assurance of the governments best efforts to nail whoever was behind the blasts. If one could recollect, the wordings of his statement is not so different from his other after-the-blast statements: he just rearranges them.

Makeover websites :

Look who's got a makeover.

Moneycontrol.com has finally received a much needed makeover. But guys if you are wondering where all the clutter from moneycontrol homepage has gone to , check this out: easymf.com . Aah yeah, thats from Web18 again. I never knew of this website until I checked the latest quarter results of the company wherein it had this big list of them all. Indiaearnings.com has got 'some' makeover, for the good.

If thats the story with the online arm of Network18 group, here is one of their fierce competitor NDTV's list.
NDTV.com ( I am not sure when) has also got a facelift. Is the work any better than the earlier version ? Yeah, a bit. And thats because I thought the earlier one was such crap. Is the work any impressive ? Naah. Never with the main news getting stacked up in a sidebar.

And there is this NDTVKhabar.com . I am new to it. But I wonder who got the Khabar name first: IBNKhabar.com or NDTVKhabar.com (needless to add the former is the better appealing one).

Inflation for Indians !

Just yesterday I had paid the local grocer 44 Euros for a 20 kilo bag of rice. So whats so special about it that it deserves a post.

Just that I would have paid him 26 Euros for the same bag around September last year. Thats a huge rise in the prices. Thats not all. Earlier I could choose from a variety of rice like Andhra/Tamilnadu/Kerala cultivated. Now its only Basmati and that too Pakistan make.

If you thought that inflation in India would only be a domestic phenomenon think again, its now a global phenomenon for Indians all over.

Hence the term 'Inflation for Indians' not Inflation in India.

Day not far

The day is not so far when I would start some serious blogging rather posting.

Listen world, I am coming. So WAIT.......
