Dancing elephants celebrate the lord Ganesha in this riveting animated film that builds to a crescendo of musical bliss. This is an original work, which took seven months to create, with 4,500 frames, all hand-drawn and colored by the artist single-handedly. During the festival of Ganesh Chaturti, the last time devotees get to see their beloved lord Ganesha is before immersion. But no one knows what happens underwater. This film is a blend of fact, myth & fantasy, which talks about the journey of an immersed image underwater. All the immersed clay images, each one with innovative iconography, get animated (indicating the presence of prana). Their energy and merrymaking finally make the God himself appear, to collect prana from all the images. This leaves inanimate clay objects, which quickly dissolve into formlessness. This formless state of clay only lasts for a short time, though. In next year's festival the prana again regains its iconic form. In this respect it replicates t...

Once again whole intellectual media is fighiting over who was responsible for creating Pakistan and if Mohammad Ali Jinnah really wanted Pakistan. I will leave this for you readers. I came across this piece from indiatimes blog which you can read here There's at least one thing Jaswant Singh has said about Partition that is correct -- far from ensuring peace and communal harmony, it actually worsened the situation and left both India and Pakistan a legacy of hate and mistrust.

For thousand’s of recorded history India remained number one gold importer country. As par recent data from Gold ETF’s they are holding approximately 5 tonnes of gold in their lockers. That compares against a total private gold hoard held by Indian citizens, now estimated to stand between 13,000 and 15,000 tonnes. Romans love for Indian spices was the reason for loss of their gold to India. Every trades were paid by means of bullion (mainly Gold). Twenty per cent of world gold production is consumed by India; the figure till 2007/08 stands at 800 tonnes, of which 600 tonnes are used in jewellery manufacture. Of this 600 tonnes, only 20% will ever get recycled, rest just disappeared out of thin air. Now after so many years, India’s import in last two months (Feb & March 2009) is NIL. The gold price are soaring and have gone up 300% in last couple of years and is already all time high in terms of GBP, EURO and INR.

The problem of banks buying the assets from themselves.

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely studies the bugs in our moral code: the hidden reasons we think it's OK to cheat or steal (sometimes). Clever studies help make his point that we're predictably irrational -- and can be influenced in ways we can't grasp.
