| | Kill me instead !!

Not a big fan of Tarantino's films, i had to change my mind once i saw Kill Bill vol 1, with action sequences right out of a PS2 game this flick was one of the better action movies of recent times. With amazing background scores and unbelievable and at times illogical action scenes, this was one fantasy movie.
That made me wait for the second part which released last friday. A week before the release i was reading up on all kinds of stories i could catch online, to figure out how it would be. "An amazing end to a sexy beginning", "Tarantino has taken it to the next level" were some of the comments that flashed right in ur face. That made me go online and book tics for the first day of the movie.
"Dissapointing" and "A big let down" would be understatements. The pace of the movie was about as fast as a turtle, the movie had just ONE action sequence (just one...imagine).
The saving grace in the movie had to be the tutelage of Pei Mei (with his white hair) and off course the ever beautiful Uma Thurman. If she showed sheer dominance and arrogance in part 1, she shows some weaknesses and vulnerabilities in this part which was amazing.

All and all not worth the time, money and emotion spent. JaI. | 2:48 PM

| | The Rupee Confusion.

"If the finance minister is to take any position other than to simply assert that the market will eventually find its own balance, and that individual players must learn to adjust to a strengthening rupee, then he has to do two things."

One is to open up on the trade account as soon as possible after the elections, by slashing customs duties further so as to bring about a balance in flows.

The second is to force down interest rates in the banking system, through the usual signalling process and by controlling the government's own borrowing programme.

If none of this is done, and the rupee continues to climb, expect howls of protest from India's business community, and some denting of the feel-good factor.

What the fu**, did i learn economics in the same school as these guys ???
