I think English was the best thing that happened to India. This belief was reiterated during a recent trip to Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. There was no way of communicating with the driver and the respective locals, other than by using English words. English has seeped so much in our daily lives that it goes unnoticed now.
My domestic servant uses words like "late", "tension", " right-left", "finish" and many such more. I am quite amused I must say. She cannot read or identify a single alphabet of the English language. In spite of this, there is a good chance of her becoming decently fluent in the so-not-"phoren"-any-more- language. If she is exposed to more English speaking people, she will definitely grasp many such operational words. I think, for her that is a sufficient level, since she is not aiming to become a blue-collared worker any time.

No more arbit news!

We read newspapers. It is sometimes difficult to read news everyday. We tend to scan and choose the important ones or relevant ones, on account of less time to read in our everyday schedule. On some days, we don't have the time or the inclination to even take the newspaper in our hands. I have been a victim of this on several occasions.
This blog is going to cater to people who want to catch up on certain news. My interests are Economics, Banking, Finance, Entertainment and Social issues. The intention is to maintain a regular blog of certain interesting news in a chronologically arranged manner.
Every news will have an individual post. The respective posts will be continuously updated. If something new catches my fancy, a post will be started about that too. Conscious efforts will be taken to use reliable sources to update the blog. You are all welcome to give your inputs only if you are willing to use reliable sources.
No news is interesting without the comments of the readers. So comments are definitely welcome. But, make sure you do not end up using offensive, abusive, derogatory language about anything/anyone on my blog.
