Guess this is sort of the Indian version of the bailout for the economy.
Indian financial system today got a liquidity shot of Rs 65,000 crore to combat the ripple effects of the global crisis - on top of Rs 80,000 crore infused since last week - with Finance Minister P Chidambaram and RBI promising more steps, if needed.
Reserve Bank announced a 100 basis points cut...
New attempt

Chanakya Writes is new blog started by Gayatri, Divya and me. Now the question begets, “Why do we need another blog”. To be frank, we might have as well worked on our current blogs or simply revived them. But the total lackadaisical attitude towards blogging and failure to make a significant impact hasn’t dampened our enthusiasm towards starting a...

I sit and think what have I achieved in life. I ponder over the purpose of my existence, contemplate over how to succeed in life. After going through the motions of emotions starting from self-doubt to depression and then rising to a sense of pretentious well being, I realize the futility of the whole exercise. Depending on our personalities, attitudes and upbringing we have...
Another Day
Another day! Feeling tired and dull. Somehow I feel this is the way I have been feeling since quite some days. There is a definite lack of motivation. Today however I forgot my smart card, so have to depend on colleagues to let me in, each time, I have to visit the restroom or the canteen. And as if to rub it in, have felt the urge to relieve myself more than the fair share. Every 15 minutes or...
Rock On

Phoonk
Saw Phoonk yesterday! Directed by ‘Ham’ Gopal Verma. Ok, so Verma mixes the Exorcist and Bhoot and dishes out another boring fare. But surprise surprise this one’s a hit. Found that he blogs as well. Now this is one interesting blog for sure. This guy is one hell of a narcissist but also is a sissy. Here’s the fun part - he chooses to react to some of the comments of his...

Ok! This is a borrowed concept, I heard from a friend. I liked it and extended it.
Quite often, when we are surrounded by problems or find ourselves in a difficult sitaution, we blame our fate and stars. We of course do keep hearing that, there is nothing called as fate and its stupid to blame stars and fate and blah blah blah. But sometimes life does seem harsh, wherein...
God is Vegetarian
Well its a question to which there is not only a ready answer, but the question itself might seem absurd and pointless. Does it matter a damn to me whether God is vegetarian or otherwise. It doesnt, but the point here is we sometimes bog ourselves down with such irrelevant questions to which there can be no answer.
Does she hate me? Do others think I’m stupid? Does the management think...

Can I decide to be happy everyday?
The general notion of happiness is that when something good happens to us, we achieve something or someone acts good to us, someone says something nice. But then we have our good and bad days. Everyone isnt nice to us everyday. In a sense, happiness as a notion depends on something that happens which should make us feel good. Well how nice it would be if we could make sure that something good...
