6.  How much gold do we consume (purchase) in a year?

7.  Who is the President of ADB?

8.  Some points worth pondering about the (botched?) women's bill.

9.  What is the difference between core and non-core inflation?  Why is monetary policy a weak tool to fight inflation.  Some counterpoints from SSA Aiyar.

That's for today.  Happy reading.
