I have limited knowledge of economics and the finance world ;) but chanced upon this article the other day which was a rather alarming read. Would love to hear peoples views on that.

The 12th Man
Hearing an Australian icon in action is "Marvellous". Ok I am talking about cricket commentary here and by that I don't mean the great Richie Benaud. The person I am referring to is Billy Birmingham, who does kick-ass impressions of the Nine commentary team, most famous for doing Richie Benaud, Tony Greig, Bill Lawry impressions. :-)
After hearing some clips of the The Twelfth Man, I am hooked on to this stuff. The last album Boned seems hilarious as well.
Catch some here especially Marvellous 2006. :-)

October Sky
Am blogging about something after a long time. Since I last blogged a fair few things have transpired in the world of cricket; India pounded Bangladesh as expected, Lara retired from international cricket and as usual the BCCI have screwed up. :-)
On a more personal note, have started watching South Park again.;-)
Also saw lots of movies,thanks to my house-mate Bhargav. Lots of great ones like Momento, Se7en. One of the long list is "October Sky".
I had never heard about the movie before so was a little skeptical about watching it. Well the movie is simply amazing. The plot very simply put, is about a young 17 yr boy from Coalwood, a small mining town in West Virginia, who becomes fascinated with rockets after watching the Sputnik in the October sky. It's based on a true story by Homer Hickam himself.
The performances are mind-blowing. The confrontations between Homer, played by a young Jake Gyllenhaal and his dad, played brilliantly by Chris Cooper are something special. Also the student teacher interactions in the purest form and the small town setting and way of life is beautifully encompassed. The strong undercurrent of family ties and bonds that flows throughout the movie is superb as well.
Do watch it fellas, it is awesome. :-)
