There are many quantitative ways to measure the…hmmm, what’s the right word… brightness of a particular movie star. You can count Oscar nominations and box office receipts, magazine covers and Barbara Walters interviews.
But mostly it’s a feel thing. It’s this complex alchemy of critical acclaim, glamour, box office success – and perhaps most importantly, indelible [...]
In recent weeks, he’s been interviewed as much as twice a day about his predictions. “It’s a record,” says Prof. Panarin. “But I think the attention is going to grow even stronger.” Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s academy [...]

THE financial world is a mess, both in the United States and abroad. Its problems, moreover, have been leaking into the general economy, and the leaks are now turning into a gusher. In the near term, unemployment will rise, business activity will falter and headlines will continue to [...]

By SUSAN PULLIAM
Some hedge-fund titans have yanked most of their money out of the stock market, a bearish sign amid Monday’s euphoria and an indication of how the hedge-fund business is changing amid chaos.
In recent days, Steven Cohen, the [...]
1. Big B, Abhi and Salman do not do a good job in selecting their movies compared to SRK and Aamir. In fact appears that Big B and Abhi select everything that comes down the pike.
2. History will not be kind to Akshay Kumar. I think he will be remembered similar to Rajendra Kumar (known [...]

among Om puri, Paresh Rawal and Anupam Kher? Curious to know what readers think. My personal ranking is Paresh Rawal followed by Anupam Kher and then Om Puri. All three are very good at comedy but I have a sneaking suspicion that Kher is probably the most versatile and has the best body of work. [...]

I thought of numerous others such as MKS, Laawaris, Amar Akbar Anthony but for some reason they are not as tight as the above works. Yash Chopra along with Salim/Javed and Amitabh created absolute magic for a while.
David Einhorn, “Private Profits and Socialized Risk”
April 8, 2008 A few weeks ago the financial world was presented with the imminent failure of a publicly traded entity called Carlyle Capital Corporation. You see, it had leveraged itself more than thirty to one. The press scoffed about what kind of insanity this was. Who in their [...]

International cricket tours occupy a unique place in the sporting firmament. In no other sport do national teams tour a rival for three months or more.
At its best, a slow-burning tour allows Test match cricket (the five-day version of the game) to [...]
my my looks like a busy year. I have listed them by the main actors and also have my predictions.
Akshay Kumar (3 Movies):
Tashan: Yashraj, Superhit
Chandni Chowk to China: Nikhil Advani, Hit
Singh is King: Bazmee, Average
Aamir Khan (1 Movie):
Ghajini: remake, Superhit
Ajay Devgan (3 Movies)
Sunday, flop
U me aur tum, Devgan himself, flop
Hallabol, Santoshi, average
Just saw Welcome yesterday and must admit this was the crappiest movie I have seen in a long time. The only redeeming feature were a couple (read..only a couple) of funny scenes with Nana. Akshay doesn’t really have much of a role and is plain adequate. Paresh is also adequate without being spectacular. Anil is [...]
