Kaku Nakhate’s Lament

Tight-fisted tycoons further pummel down fees. “India is always price sensitive, whether you have to buy our own dress or whether you have to pay for your investment banking. So you can’t live in the hope that fees will be huge. This will never be China . . . you need to offer the best bang for the buck.”-said Kaku Nakhate, BofA president in India

Poems

A Rubai by Arun Shourie

Teri Sanson Ki Thakan Aur Nigahon Ka Sakoon
Dar.haqiqat Koi Rangeen Shararat He Na Ho
Main Jisey Pyar ka izhar Samajh Baitha Hoon
Wo Tabassum Wo Takallum Teri Adat He Na Ho

 

This heaving of your breath and the solace of your eyes

In reality, is it some playful mischief?

What I thought was a display of love

That Smile That Speech,is it your habit?

–from this speech
