| Apology for absence | |
| Sorry folks. Just realised that I haven't added a post for nearly a year! Lots of things happening. Changed jobs, moved to Delhi. I was surprised to find that my old posts were still being read! Keep coming!

| Published in Mail Today WHEN union health minister Anbumani Ramadoss launched his blitzkrieg against Bollywood’s alleged ‘glamourisation’ of smoking and alcohol consumption, former film star and current Censor Board chief Sharmila Tagore, had this to say: “I would humbly like to suggest that there are bigger health issues like fake medicines that a...

| India’s growth story no longer needs to be sold. We are a trillion-dollar economy with a trillion-dollar stock market. India is now one of the world’s major software and services hubs. India’s much-maligned manufacturing sector is also increasingly seen as one (in select sectors at least) that can deliver global scale manufacturing capacity and pri...

| Indian investors have a feudalmindset | |
| IF YOU thought crony capitalism was dead and buried, you have probably not attended a shareholders’ meeting of any Indian company recently. India Inc.’s version of the tamasha, otherwise known as the annual general body meeting (AGM), usually tends to follow the same script, even in the cases of companies which are otherwise rated highly on corpora...

| A potted history of Mallya | |
| There are many words which can be used to describe Vijay Mallya. Modest is not one of them. He prefers to be addressed as “Boss” by his employees, or as “Dr. Mallya” (the doctorate is an honorary one) by those who are not close to him. He sports diamond ear studs in Parliament (he is a Rajya Sabha MP) and jets around the world in his personal Boein...

| Anybody looking at commodities? | |
| The State Bank of India ran an advertising campaign some time ago, which, among other things, pointed out that India’s largest bank had more customers than the population of Australia.That is an impressive number, but (despite the rapidly strengthening rupee), when it comes to the global stage, India’s banking sector still has some catching up to d...

We’ve become a trillion dollar economy, with a trillion dollar stock market (by market capitalisation). Economic growth speeded up another gear, ending the last fiscal at an all-time high of 9.4 per cent for the year. Going by...

| Why can’t we just ban the incandescent bulb?Let there be light.That was the mission with which the newspaper I work for launched its Mumbai edition in 2005. It was a metaphorical statement, of course. Good newspapers attempt to dispel the ‘darkness’ of non-awareness through balanced reportage and informed opinion and analysis.At the moment, though,...

| The Real Shopping-Cart Revolution |
| Five hundred years of progress packed into a sack of flour.By J. Bradford DeLong, Wired MagHere's some food for thought.A smart shopper can buy a 5-pound bag of Gold Medal flour for 69 cents. That's enough to feed three people for a day - 7,500 easy-to-digest, relatively nutritious, and potentially tasty calories. All for less than 0.7 percent of a...

| After spending time overseas I returned to Mumbai early this morning, and ran into a totally different species called the airport taxi drivers. They are different from the regular guys, you bet. And you can’t miss them, as you roll your trolley out they are the first people you will run into, all importunating you to hire them. Bandra? Colaba? Walk...

| What’s ‘Indian’ about IIFA! |
| Oh yes, Star Plus had to yank off SRK’s Paanchvi Paas to run the terribly boring IIFA awards. And like a sucker I had to sit up and watch it. Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh tried to outdo SRK and Saif Ali Khan, and I wished they didn’t. But I must admit their takeoff on Om Can’t be Om, Jab They Left, etc was hilarious. And, since it called itself...
