White Tiger - A unruly myth !

Along came the Man's booker and the adversity of a common Indian triumph's another time. The west seems to take pleasure on reading about the humbug life of Indian's fighting for survival every daybreak. How is that each book that speaks on the atrocities of the Indian society end's with a the most coveted prize? The author, born in India, choosing to leave the domains for his personal gains, unquestionably, returns to make the most invaluable contribution by chastising the Indian panorama of pains in his first book as a publishable writer.

Not doubting the materialistic and artistic effort undertaken and its repercussions on the bank account. I would simply place this inquest, as a writer, does one not need to be more responsible in his words while exposing the truant's of a nation and its common men. Ungainly and exaggerated description of the delinquencies of India with sheer inadvertence to cultural divides and historical exploitation by the west is not a reflection of a great writer, but a short, stooped man bribing his way to ride on the back of a overbearing Elephant.

Before the Devil knows you are Broke !

Yep, world is under a cash siege. Nobody thought of this scenario, did they? It seems the whole world is undergoing a evolution. Ecological changes have been rapid, it even earned Al Gore a Nobel prize, an impressive feat considering, he did not even win his own state when he lost to "W". So, as an Indian, despondent, watching the Rupee reaching an abyss against the dollar, especially after hearing intellectual foresights from the self-proclaimed finance savant's that the mighty Indian currency would trample the dollar to near worthless. Quite an empty threat it turned out, the Bombay stock exchange unable to withstand the strong winds from these blow hards nearly collapsed under the gains of its post globalization era !

I am no Buffett, so cannot buy out the less valued stock, while writing articles in the NY times encouraging the already broke investors to become greedy. The ghosts of the wall street have not rested and might want the true heir to arrive to alleviate them of this plight. But, does it matter, cause the last i heard, even Uncle Sam is broke !
