CHANGE WE MUST, CHANGE WE CAN

Hello Friends,

How are you doing? Trust all's fine with you by the grace of God.Last month's blog I spoke about women's emancipation and liberation and explained that the day a woman can stand up to her convictions and refuse to accept her identity by the stereotypical roles defined for her, from that day on everyday would be Women's Day.

Here's some good news from the west and some not-so-good news from India on this front.Okay, here it is....in the history of Oscars,Kathryn Bigelow,ex-wife of James Cameron (whose film Avatar was tipped to sweep the Oscars...yeah as I was told!) became the first woman to win the Oscar for the Best Director and the Best Film for her film The Hurt Locker...and it swept away some major wins in the other categories as well. No doubt about that,it was definitely Bigelow's biggest evenings of her life! Though one had the gut feeling that she'd win the Oscar when she won at the BAFTA's and I had an inkling that her win was imminent....but then Avatar was a favorite too after all Cameron toppled his own film Titanic with the highest grossing film worldwide with the collections of a record $2,685,140,003 ...so this fact could not be ignored either. Another factor if I analyze things correctly was at the BAFTAs in 2008, when Danny Boyle swept the BAFTA's for his film Slum-dog Millionaire and that gave him the edge at the Oscars...so definitely Bigelow had earned her brownies before the big night and took home the coveted prize (right under the nose from her ex-husband)!

AMERICAN BRAND OF SOCIALISM

Hello Everybody,

I'm back again with a bang...quite literally...today I have for you a posting quite different from the rest....in my previous postings we have had a potpourri of entertainment, news, happenings, recounting events from history, human life stories shared by some of you....but today I have the latest for you from the financial sector. For those of you who have been avoiding reading the pink papers lately may be caught unawares about the financial tsunami that has hit the global markets with the 'depression' sinking in the US economy (which economists say would be a tough recovery for the US)....what implications & repercussions it'd have on us is what Mr. Pannu discusses with us today in this week's post.

USHERING A ‘CHANGE’

As a spectator I witness that for the first time in the U.S. history, Americans are taking a keen interest to elect their new leader Obama and the same holds true for the rest of the world where Obama lingers on in everyone’s thoughts, conversations or even a tête-à-tête on the economic recession, US presidential elections, Iraq war etc., all thanks to the Bush administration.
