Well so much for wishing a terror free 2009. The New year began with a bang for the anti-India forces. Although not surprising it just pains me that our nation has lost its peace. Although these were small intensity blasts they never the less caused loss of 5 lives (thats what reported at the time of writing this).
On another note, I really hope that the real estate prices in Mumbai comes down to earth from the astronomical heights they are in right now. The build lobby will try to hold on to the high prices as much as they can however it would be unrealistic to keep on playing this game to see who blinks first, the builders or the buyers. However 30 to 40% cuts in the variable pays of mostly IT crowd is definately going to put a damper on the buying capability of the IT fueled middle classes.
On the defence side I just read about the anti- material rifle developed by DRDO called “Vidhwansak“. A development which is very significant in strengthening the armed forces but receives little press since its not as $exy as a fighter aircraft.
