Then a thought-provoking editorial occurred in ET and I was compelled to write a counter argument about the subject.  It is about reserving certain items for procurement from the SSI sector.  Take a look at it here:

And we have our regular quiz dose from http://quizindia.blogspot.com/2007/08/19082007.html

Lastly, yet another thought provoking piece that I received in mail from a friend.  Take a look at it here in Time Passs:  http://funnyaffairs.blogspot.com/2007/08/vision-2020.html
