From one great country to another

When AR Rehman took the center stage for the Oscars for Jai Ho in Slumdog Millionaire, it was a great tribute to Indian music.
Rehman is no doubt one of the most talented musicians of the Indian cinema and gulzar is the one of the best lyricist.

Although I am not a big fan of slumdog millionaire becaue it has reflected more on negativity but still that movie carrie hope.

It struck to me that what a great country India was . AR Rehman was surrounded in controversy because he san Vande Matram and Muslim community was outraged that how can he do such a thing. Now a Muslim , born a truly democratic country like India wons the world's most coveted prize in another great country USA.

USA which recognizes talent and is called a land of opportunity , recognizes Rehman and his music and sets an example again that anything can be accomplished on this land.

I love USA!
I love India!

Oil falling, stock market falling , Rupee falling ..and of course economy

Man …this is like everything is falling. True but not all falls are good. I work in US so oil falling means cheaper gas. In India that translates to higher profits for oil companies because petrol and diesel prices do not fluctuate as they do in US.

Stock market falling..yeah I do not want to touc that subject..my pain area .

But I am becoming short seller now. Some where I have to make money to recoup losses !! Let us see how successful I am on this.

Rupee falling..That is true part because dollar is going strong and rupee is anyway weak. And latest report from HSBC has confirmed that saying it might touch 54 as compared to dollar.

Good news for those who want to repatriate money to India !
