Current affairs briefing for 27th May, 2008

Hi friends,

Here goes our link for today:

http://indiancurrentaffairs.blogspot.com/2008/05/2705208.html

In today's briefing:

1.  Gave a pointer to the links containing Joseph Stiglitz's lecture on globalization.  My advice: DON'T MISS IT.

2.  A bit about Phoenix's landing on Mars.  Can you understand the nuance between soft landing and hard landing?

3.  Some sane commentary on the Gujjar agitation; from TOI editorial.

4.  A recap about the famous Nanavati muder case.  This is in the context of a similar murder happening recently in Mumbai.

5.  Some more slow progress on the HIV research front.

6.  How many people got their genome sequenced so far?  Can you explain genome sequencing in layman's terms?

7.  It is said that there are 13 miracle economies.  Can you list out all of them?  Ofcourse India is one among them.

8.  What is meant by 'buying the spread'? 

9.  Big retail will not edge out kirana stores, says an ICRIER report.

10.  India is among the top 3 investment destinations in the world.

That's it for today.  Happy reading.
