After a long time I wrote again in Discover It.  It's a precis of an excellent article on IMF losing its relevance.  Read it at...

In today's briefing:

1.  Yesterday, in the shoutbox, Rishi asked me to tell something about EURATOM.  And bingo.  We go here...

2.  And Madhu asked me to explain a bit about EEZ.  I tried my hand at it.

3.  Exchangeable Bonds will keep making news for some time to come.  We will not miss an opportunity to cover them.  Look at the caps that are there on them.

4.  We all know about twins; right?  Wrong.  At least as far as I am concerned.  I was surprised that there are various types of twins in humans.  Take a look.

5.  Look at India's attempt in trying to bring in the QR (Quantitative Restrictions) regime in its international trade.  This is what I call walking on thin ice.

6.  Sometimes, even the Supreme Court has to listen to local voice.  Look at what Thrissur Pooram did!!

7.  This is what I call LP raj (License Permit raj).  Drug Price Control Order in its new avatar!!

8.  Look at the beneficial side of blue berries.

9.  Power capacity addition figures and prospects.

10.  We may go to the town tom tomming about our economy.  But ADB has a different take.

11.  Its the 'corridor' mania that is going on.  Some more freight corridors.

12.  Can you name the peanut bowl of India?

13.  Let's try our hand at understanding the 'pass-through' concept in Venture Capital funds, one more time.

14.  Sub-prime mortgage is not a problem of US markets alone.  Even India has the same problem, says today's ET.

15.  Ever heard of policy trading in life insurance?  I never did.  It's an interesting concept.

16.  What is the full form of IOSCO?

17.  And finally in sport, let's look at the Annual ATP awards.

That's all for today, folks.

Happy reading.

Ramakrishna
