I wasn’t really worried until this latest recall news on Toyota Prius has come out. Software problems? Brake problems? This is an eerie reality to android cars in Hollywood movies that take control of the driver and kill him/her. Stopping distance is what I am currently covering in the transportation engineering class I am teaching. […]
Dylan Ratigan was one of the very few sane reporters on CNBS. He was shown the door for reasons not disclosed. However, he came back to host a morning show, “Morning Meeting” on MSNBC about 10 months ago. Listeners of Mohana Murali GaanaLahari know that I strongly believe that President Obama only talks tough and […]
The tradition of Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog, forecasting the length of the reminder of winter by looking (or not looking) at his own shadow has been a ‘tradition’ in the USA for over one hundred years. This silly tradition on February 2nd has become something to look forward to during the bitter cold days of […]
I have great respect for Mr. Paul Volker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. He is widely credited for saving the US financial system from an environment where inflation was 13.5% in 1981 to about 3.3% in two years.

In the next few weeks we will be hearing a lot about sovereign debt crisis for Greece. Debt crisis is derivatives crisis. Derivatives are Greek – a lot of Greek! I found this simple chart at Zero-Hedge and it explains the ramifications in a decision tree, and in simple English.
I took these pictures in Delhi in March 2009. Big animals in big city. I thought it will give you a kick. This is for all the kids and the kids in you. Enjoy! 🙂 [Too bad my camera battery was dead, or I could have take more pics!] [nggallery id=3]
Until I arrived in US, I had no clear idea on what “four seasons” really meant. Well, it took one full year for me realize the beauty of four seasons, which we never experience in India. Here is how a trail in Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, where I regularly walk, jog or bike. These are […]
