Last week, I spent about 4 hours at a totally unproductive meeting (unproductive for me, atleast). As always, with strategy-related meetings, there were a lot of Gartner/Tower Group studies discussed- and one of them claims India is to be the 4th largest economy in terms of GDP/PPP or something like that by - hold your breath- the year 2050. Come on, guys! FIFTY YEARS? Fifty years is the time limit I would consider to write science fiction- and a prediction of GDP? Sheesh. How do you come up with 4th, anyway? why not fifth? or the third, for that matter? I mean, if you are going ot make a forecast, wouldn't you atleast give yourself good room for approximation? Say something like, will be in the top 5 countries of the world, or some such?

There are people who keep asking me what Sanjana's sun sign is (I used to belong to that tribe myself, oh, some 10 years ago). I don't remember (WHAT kIND OF A MOTHER IS SHE??). I think she's a Libra (b. 9th Oct). This was from one of those seekers of information. Not sure. And don't really care anyway. The days when I used to believe Aries was absolutely the best sun sign every, Adarsh Vidyalaya was the best school ever, B Com was absolutely the most fun/smart class every, my music sir was absolutely the greatest master ever, etc. etc. are looooong past. Its part of what is called "growing up". :) I guess. I hope.
