The briefing for the two days:

1.  Take a look at the kind of money that is lying unclaimed in our banks!!

2.  Some language lessons I thought are worth our attention:  ecumenical and skulduggery.

3.  Some excellent insight coming our way from Rohit Prasad on taming inflation.

4.  What do you understand by the phrase "regulatory capture"?  With a proliferation happening in so many regulators in our country, it is important that we understand this concept.

5.  We have all known about outsourcing and how it made India, a leading power.  But about worldsourcing?  An interesting way of looking at things.  See this.

6.  We have been noting with lot of concern about the off-budget liabilities -- eg., oil subsidies being given as bonds to OMCs.  Some insightful comment.

7.  Look at why the Government is thinking of amending the Indian Trusts Act.

8.  Thermal efficiency can boost low emissions.  But what is thermal efficiency?

9.  Indian economy is only 5th larges in PPP terms.

10.  Now Americans are seen tripping on their credit card payments.  Is it suggesting something?

That's all for now.  Happy reading.
