symphony

Posted on 8/27/2004
Mozart had never composed such a beautiful symphony that life seems to be singing to me these days...But I m worried over Pals despondency..

she has to dig her way out of the abyss that she momentarily finds herself in...It's just a phase n i m sure that she would come out of it with flying colours...

But her disappointment is justified as journalism is very trivial for serious people...learning the wonders of language n not the fantasy of literature is the biggest disadvantage posed by modern-day cheap journalism, where ideas are sold for few dollars n consent is manufactured...

The all-pervading 'feel good factor' is yet another media created hype...A country where 214 million are still malnourished, can we claim that we as a nation are 'shinning'?

In a country where the figures released by the government agencies are as good as reading some thrillers, we can never be sure about our development figures...The modern day triviality is best reflected in the media...a mirror that speaks the language of the government.....media a mirror?

Just read the "going against the grain" column in the Hindu by Rammanohar Reddy, the eco dude...Brilliant....N for an in-depth analysis on the mini budget, read frontline....worth reading...

Today the mini-exim policy was released..nothing glorious to write home about...removing import duty on silver and gold will solve all our problems?
Now more alcohol will flow as the facility of duty-free alcohol imports is being extended to heritage hotels, one- and two-star hotels and restaurants. The ceiling on gifts being sent abroad has been raised from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh.
But no in-depth analysis as yet on the exim policy...
