The 10000 sensex era again..

India’s benchmark stock index, the Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex, fell below 10,000 last Friday, a level it hasn’t seen since 20 June 2006, finally catching up to macro-economic indicators that point to a rather stark conclusion: the country, and by extension, its people, are worse off now than they were 28 months ago.

  1. The same 28 months that saw the Sensex cross the 21,000 mark had also witnessed other dramatic changes in factors affecting India’s economy and its standing as an investment for foreign companies and investors.
  2. The prevailing sentiment in June 2006 was greed. In October 2008 it is fear supported in part by worsening economic data.
  3. The Sensex closed at 9,975.35 on Friday. The rupee at Rs48.89. and inflation 11.48%
  4. In June 2006, inflation was 5.21%. And the rupee was trading at Rs46.06 to the dollar.
  5. The currency would go on a twisting ride that would see it touch Rs39 to the greenback in 2007 before threatening to touch Rs50 in recent weeks.
  6. The rupee has lost more than 19% this year, the most since 1991 when an acute balance-of-payments crisis forced the nation to pawn its gold with the International Monetary Fund to pay for imports.
  7. And the country’s industrial growth has slid from 9.6% in June 2006 to 4.9% now.
  8. In 2006, not too many people in India were familiar with the term subprime mortgage, or housing loans extended to people with poor credit history that were bundled into complex securities and sold, and which eventually resulted in the collapse of several US investment banks and the ongoing credit crisis across the world.
  9. Country’s fiscal deficit now is Rs116,890 crore sharply above the June 2006 level of Rs77,740 crore.
  10. Some economists blame the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) tight monetary policy . As inflation soared on the back of growth and a global boom in commodity markets with the consequent increase in prices, the central bank could have made different measures to control it..

Your facts are not wrong too.. we have been second fastest economy once, but the dependence of India on US is a concern, we still trade most with US and CHina, China trades most with US.. so if US sinks like this, it would impact Indian economy both directly and indirectly..!!!

Second prob with us is, we come in bulge countries, other fast growing countries are domestic econmic countries, we have a global economy ..!!

Give reasons to smile :-)

Everyone in his life has a wrap of worries and concerns, Someone is worried for his career, someone has a family related issue, lot many are strucked in business, few are just too busy with the tension of studies, a lot many are busy with the tensions in friendship and amongst the friends... In my opinion, giving others a reason to worry is an easy task, it takes just fw minutes to hurt anyone, slap him, hit him, say him something undesired, it'll solve the purpose... but for spreading smiles something extra needs to be done.. it is difficult to manage tears than to bring them from someone's eyes. its too difficult to make others laugh from the heart... Looking at few of my peers ( not my close ones frm instt) , i find ppl changin for their parents, why do we tend to forget them ? when we grow? , why our friends become more important in a way tht they take a pie from the share of our moms and dads.. how many times do we think before saying a lie to our moms and dads. Hw do we ...

New Journey!!! - Plannin to write my blog

Well, I m no Amitabh Bachhan, No Aamir Khan, tht ppl will be reading my blog or will be finding it worth reading. All i know is tht i am getting inspired from Ankur to write it. This is my opening post meant to be read for ppl close to me.   Its 10:10pm now, September 25 th 2008 , I have decided to replicate the high flying Blogging concept whilst I know I have the slightest listeners. Holidays have started, No great work to do these days, except getting inclined to TV and gossips, ‘Roz ki faaltu baatein’ would be the core activity in my list regularly till 5 th October.   Will be missing my college buddies, Its always a dependence tht gets created when you meet the same ppl regularly, The best and worst part of “Chhutiyan-Holidays’ is the “ending/missing of monotonous routine” , on one side I m happy tht this break would end up my daily 9 to 6 college routine and on the same time I will be / already started missing my friends and foes J . Tension mat lo, foes are an import...
