dont know what!
so what's happening in India.. so many things! what all do i know? inida's ranked 79th in some latest survey, showing the order of countries in terms of health, education, happiness etc.. finland, sweden, switzerland, australia are 1,2,3,4.. US of A is at 11th followed by Germany.. SO.. Do we seek solace that we r better off than Pakistan (89)? Lets analyze some latest buzzez buzzing in india.. Ministers (MP) particularly the yadav's (mulayam and laloo) have taken the house to task by demanding for an increase in wages.. from 30K to straight out 1.6Lacs.. i think now they woudn't get any additional allowances besides the latest agreed upon figure.. What a situation.. ministers themselves decide how much to pay selves.. !! Shoudn't those buggers have taken some external agency to do the maths for them.. anyhow.. CWG OC.. some interesting facts.. initially ccame out with Rs 69 cr for organizing the Common wealt.. raised it to 1110 Cr.. and eventually ended up spending almost Rs 1400 Cr.. yeh jo desh hai mera, swadeshh hai meraaa!!!!!!!! Hindustan motors which also makes vehicles for mitsubishi -- like lancer, pajero etc has decided to revamp their age old Ambassador.. Ambassodor which currently sells about 600-700 units per month in a 2lac unit pm month (gosh! who even buys the 600-700 odd pieces), hopes to raise it to abt 2K units pm.. the cost is phenomenal.. They are planning to rope in some brithish team to work on the designing aspect and also the engine's performance.. last straw for amby.. will it be ablo to do an Enfield?? i leave you with that friends..

preparing for summers
guys i dont claim to know a lot about the world of finance.. i dont actually have to;);).. Well India has done really well to check its non food item inflation.. However food inflation is something that it hasn't been able to manage well.. With about 60.5 million tonnes of grains lying with the FCi, almost 30% or 18 million tonnes are lying in open areas. That is enough to give each and every family of India below the poverty line, some 27Kgs of grains each month.!!! isnt that astonishing.. but in all likelihood, we are going to loose those 18 mio tonnes of grains.. look at the onslaught of monsoons man.. rain is falling chama cham cham... and all those bora's of grains will go waste... now lets come to another point of concern.. Pulses! Indian poor has very recently realized the high protein value of pulses.. we eat about 18 mio tonnes, however produce only 14 mio tonnes!! kahan se ayega 5 mmio tonne.. enter stud myanmar.. we import almost all of their produce.. and they are so happy to charge us heftily for the same.. but rich India being the golden peacock (some years ago!) we happily pay.. that is not what the contention is.. govt. needs to encourage plantation of pulses.. they have announced increased MSP in pulses.. (almost 30% high).. but alas, apna sarkaar.. this too comes at such a delayed stage.. when farmers have already sowed for the next kharif season... so a few laggards would probably gain.. long live India (it again shows how late to bed and late to wise makes ram shyam birju healthy wealthy and wise).. but thats how it is boss!! but everything aside, we really need to be self sufficient in food!!! http://www.mbauniverse.com/business-schools/mba-rankings-comparative-business-school-rankings.php check out IIFt at no 4...
