Take a bow, Amit Trivedi

I just love this comment by B.True on the Youtube website for this lovely song.

The 50-rupee note at 1:03 flips to the other side in the close-up shot that follows. But this is only a minor quibble in a brilliantly edited video and an amazing, original composition. This video makes me want to watch this movie even though it is an adaptation of what is at best a mediocre novel. Take a bow, Amit Trivedi!

Manoj Gaur and Rajesh Khanna

Manoj Gaur is the well-known Executive Chairman of the Jaypee group.

The Jaypee group has built two of the best world class projects in India in recent times-the F1 racetrack and the Yamuna Expressway.

What makes their achievements even more commendable is that these projects are located in the politically challenging environment of Uttar Pradesh.

When asked how did he manage such complex projects in such an environment, he replied that he took inspiration from an old Rajesh Khanna number (enclosed below)

I feel all businessmen in India will do well to heed the message in the song !

The beat goes on

When the Fed now writes $85 billion of checks to buy Treasuries and mortgages every month, they really have nothing in the “bank” to back them. Supposedly they own a few billion dollars of “gold certificates” that represent a fairy-tale claim on Ft. Knox’s secret stash, but there’s essentially nothing there but trust. When a primary dealer such as J.P. Morgan or Bank of America sells its Treasuries to the Fed, it gets a “credit” in its account with the Fed, known as “reserves.” It can spend those reserves for something else, but then another bank gets a credit for its reserves and so on and so on. The Fed has told its member banks “Trust me, we will always honor your reserves,” and so the banks do, and corporations and ordinary citizens trust the banks, and “the beat goes on,” as Sonny and Cher sang. $54 trillion of credit in the U.S. financial system based upon trusting a central bank with nothing in the vault to back it up.
