Hi friends,

Here we go with our links for today:

http://discover-it.blogspot.com/2008/07/concerns-about-wto-draft-agreement-on.html

In today's briefing:

1.  The Indian economy appears to be weathering a slow-down.  Corporate performance figures seem to be pointing so.

2.  Iran and US warming up to each other?

3.  TRAI's consultations on IP telephony have stirred a hornet's nest.

4.  Developing countries' reservations on the draft WTO text on agriculture.

5.  Nor are they happy with the text on services also. 

6.  Language lessons: Minding one's P's and Q's.

7.  Know anything about sustainable development?  More often than not we keep repeating or using some words and phrases that we get to know through media and / or friends, without even bothering to know what do they actually mean.  It is time we take a look at one such phrase that is worth our attention.

8.  An excellent article on farmer suicides that gives some figures on suicides in India and the world over.

9.  An institute for tailors is coming up.  Can you tell me the state?

That's it for today.  Happy reading.
