The Blue Eyed Shisha Girl....
Warning: Characters in the story are fictious any resemblance to any person is merely a coincidence and not intentional.
In the beautiful meadows of central Europe there used to be a bubbly girl Maggie. Her eyes were blue and elegantly intriguing. With light going attitude and a lovely nature, fascination to explore she was a delight to be with. Constant quest for new experiences has kept her on toes. Undoubtedly Maggie was a heartthrob.
Time and tide wait for none so did her age. Her propensity to find answers to her solitude has made her prepared. Being a natural explorer once she set out for Egypt. Passing through mighty pharoah’s, tedious camel rides and the adventurous desert experiences made her come alive. Amidst the traversal of such pleasurable experiences on one fine day her sight fell on a Shisha.
She couldn’t pull off her sight, as the Shisha was artistically colorful. She yielded to the price without much bargain as the temptation to acquire has overridden her senses. Maggie bought her favorite vanilla flavor for the shisha. She started spending days and nights shishaying dreaming about prince of her dreams. Shishaying helped her relax and she regretted the time she spent without the Shisha.
The Shisha was no normal antic piece It had a life in too. It understood the feelings of Maggie. It took no time to start admiring Maggie. One-day shisha has spoken to Maggie and said “ I cant withstand your feelings, neither can I help you All I can is I wish your dreams come true very soon”. Maggie was first amazed but was very happy with the empathy. With new found assurance and support she sailed through thick and thin effortlessly. This helped her recouping energies and worked hard to establish as a great painter. Maggies paintings were a reflection of her dreams and exploration of conflicts. She took Shisha with her wherever she went. Her reputation grew in no time as an artist. It was her dream come true when the handsome Prince of Wales came down to watch the art galleries put up for display. Both were love struck by Cupid at first sight. They exchanged vows and lived happily ever after. Maggie later became famous as the blue eyed Shisha princess.She never left the Shisha all her life.

Hey Euro R U Our Next Hero....
After the World War II US Dollar has become the most favorable trading currency. US the only nation, which allowed convertibility to its dollar during the turbulent times of World War II, faired well in establishing itself as a reserve currency replacing Pound. Total trading volumes in US dollar was more than 48% placing it far above than any other global currency.
The formation of Euro has been a historic decision in global Currency market. Euro came into existence in 1999. Since its inception in 11 countries it has been a strong contender to USD. It’s pegged currently by 10 currencies. The growth of Euro was steady and gradual. Total trading volumes in Euro rose to 34%, which is, still less to USD trading volumes globally.
With weakened dollar values triggered by credit crisis Euro has been gaining a greater confidence. Euro zone currently consists of 15 countries with many more nations in the pipeline to join. A single currency across the member countries marked by lower interest rates has been a great impetus to business here. European Central bank has become a serious force to reckon to compete with Fed. Developing nations like China and India with substantial GDP’s are willing to hedge more on Euro.
If this were not enough US dollar is falling on its own performance succumbing to overseas burdens and stress back home.Equations at Wall Street have never changed so quickly in its history. This definitely is sending wrong signals and indications for worse times ahead.
Like the Pound was replaced with Dollar. …Probably it’s now Euro to take the reigns as a reserve currency.
Euro UR Our Next Hero..

Lehman couldn't BEAR This FALL.......
It was not long ago when 80+ year Bearsterns vanished away from WallStreet. Big financial houses were in the same falling spree. Good samaritan act by Fed has prevented Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae repeating a similar act.
Lehman Brothers showed symptoms that it was brewing up with credit problems...until last weekend it had to sink in to file a bankruptcy. It was pathetic to see a 158 year old instictuition crumble to pieces.
The mood in Wall Street touched bottom low and investors are helplessly seeking shelter in chaos.World markets are trying to shield the negativity to penetrate further. Hoping this can get better with right measures in place.
As the saying goes Time & Tide wait for none.....The Fall in NY wouldnt stop...................and yeah This Fall will definitely miss...BearSterns & Lehman Brothers....
Thanks Lehman & Bearsterns....for your visions and path breaking innovations in world finance they shall be treasured.

Onus 2 save US is on evry one of us....
It seems with the turmoil in the wall street things are looking bleak in the US markets.
As this is not sufficient to make situations worse...huge financial instituitions are brimming with no better situation..
At this point what is that we learn out of this crisis? What happened to the so called risk management? The amount of
risk that has been thrown open into the markets Was it completely ignored and unhandled?
Haha since the system failed...everybody can bull it...for no credit...
Well the best thing about any crisis...is if we all come together...we can find a solution to fight...
Funding needs to come in all directions to stop overspreading panic...
Bank of England & European Central Bank are pooling
in 50+ billion emergency fund.Letz hope things get better with some results yet to be declared by Morgan Stanley & Goldman Sachs..
The onus is on every one of us...to be more responsible as a decision maker..lest negative ripple effects are a indispensable feature..

UN...familiar familiar..ITY
As a child when we see this world with awe, everything is so unfamiliar.Mom becomes our first acquaintance and a starting point for harboring the feelings of familiarity.
With familiarity we are able to connect to people.Over time we make relationships out of it .I have seen people waging a constant battle with unfamiliarity until they get familiar with everything they are surrounded with.
Its far more interesting how each person reacts to unfamiliarity. Some may get into their shells and become silent and not accessible because they are so uncomfortable to unfamiliar surroundings whereas in some cases people who have been there in such situations are more open to it. They take it as a challenging and exciting phase of life. They see it as an opportunity to discover something new which can be a thrilling experience for a life time.
Whatever may be the case and the reaction which is got out of treading unfamiliar familiarity I strongly believe ………
………………Life is all about confronting unfamiliarity and getting familiar.
This is how we mature,evolve,learn and become more complete…. and each instanc turns out to be a memorable experience.

Are U A Statue Of Liberty
A Brief Glance at the Statue of Liberty day in day out through my window at work has been a brief pleasure I steal every day.
On long weekends I laugh at the thought....if the Statue is still there or not....
This seems to be interesting day after day people in New York with tons of emotions carrying through the newyork subways..many of them holding a starbucks/Dunkin coffee mug.. Its hillarious to watch people trying to balance themselves with one hand in the subway trains.
It doesnt matter whether you hold a torch or a cuppa for the day....I would say its a stupendous supporting gesture for statue of liberty.
So the question is Are U a Statue Of Liberty ? :)

The Last Samurai
Ken watanabe as Katsumoto yet another wonderful performance....Tom Cruise as Nathan. It was great to watch the discipline and dedication for one to become a perfectionist at service......Its The Samurai.....
Simon Graham: [narrating] They say Japan was made by a sword. They say the old gods dipped a coral blade into the ocean, and when they pulled it out four perfect drops fell back into the sea, and those drops became the islands of Japan. I say, Japan was made by a handful of brave men. Warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word: honor.

Memoirs Of A Geisha
A touching narration of Chiyo turning out to Sayuri with the backdrop in Hanamachi.John Williams score is splendid, I feel like borrowing some British slang and call it as "Bloody Brilliance"
Ken Watanabe does it again.Young chiyo and the Chairman transforming scene was directed wonderfully.Pumpkin,Nobu san all crew have done great justice to their roles.Unarguably a must watch movie. You can find John Williams confluence/Themes on Memoirs Of Geisha in You tube.
