Welcome!

If you are here, chances are that you are tired of your wife's nagging and have accepted the fate that it's time to move out of your parent's abode, which for years had been a paradise for you. If not, your parents must be planning to kick you out of the house. Still better, you are looking for a good investment opportunity. Or, have simply shifted base to a new city and looking for permanent accommodation.
But, for those hit by escalating costs…maybe, this blog can butt out 'the but' in your case. So, feel free to read it and leave your comments.

Satyam vs World Bank!

You would call it surprising but ever since the World Bank has issued a ban on Satyam. It’s subsidiary Sify Broadband has been sending me messages by the tons promising me gifts surprises if I renew their Broadband service that I had discontinued owing to poor connectivity (read no connectivity).

Worst the copy asked the World Bank to withdraw "inappropriate" statements about the company and to issue an apology for harm done to the company. Kamaal hai.

For those who came in late, the World Bank has taken the step for providing improper benefits to Bank staff and for failing to maintain documentation to support fees charged for its subcontractors.

However, I would say the World Bank’s move is very much related to the company’s proposal to acquire Maytas Properties and Maytas Infra, companies controlled and run by the promoter family, for $1.6 billion (around Rs 7,680 crore).

Everything about that proposal was strange. No wonder the World Bank took the harsh step.
