“Speculators are betting against the euro, banks are taking incalculable risks and the markets are in turmoil.

Look friends, I am no defender of welfare. By all means those able bodied who depend 100% on government welfare throughout their lives are parasites.

The markets worldwide appear to have stabilized after last week’s wild gyrations. The impetus has been a) short selling ban; and b) purchase of bonds worth nearly 24bil Euros. Most […]
ప్రవృత్తికి భావుకుడిని, వృత్తికి అధ్యాపకుడిని అని చెప్పుకొనే నైజం నాది. కొన్ని సరస శృంగార గీతాలు వింటే, వింటూ ఆ గీతాల సునిశత చిత్రీకరణ చూస్తే భావుకత నిండిన రసికత పట్టపగ్గాలు లేకుండా చెలరేగుతుంది. అలాంటి ఒక శృంగార గీతం శ్రీకృష్ణ విజయం లోని “పిల్లనగ్రోవి పిలుపు మెలమెల్లన రేపెను వలపు.” మరొక్కసారి, ఎవరండీ NTR గారికి శృంగార రసం పండించడం రాదు అన్నదీ? ఇంతకంటే సున్నితంగా, మగువల మనసుకు హత్తుకు పోయేలాగా ఏ నటుడు చెయ్యగలడు, […]
