8.  How is the US headed for a recession?  Take a look at the Morgan Stanley's take on the subject.  Why does it not affect India much, while it affects the other Asian economies?

9.  I am sure some of you would have read "Gone with the Wind".  There are two sequels to that great classic.   Can you name them?
