The highlight of the week has to be turmoils in the financial markets. Banks are trying to buy each other, all the while knowing that its a wretched business. Lehman Brothers have decided to file for bankruptcy. Apparently Chinese banks are buying out the biggest and most influential financial players in America. Crude oil is undecided whether it wants to stay above USD 100 or not. Dont really know what impact would this have on India and it is really funny the way news anchors are predicting the doom and god knows what.

There are no other highlights to really speak of. However there were few interesting things that I can talk about.

Interesting bits this week

  • Yahoo’s customer service got “tricked” to reset Sarah Palin’s email address. If you don’t know who she is, you must be living in a cave. Please come out. And no one is at a blame here but it certainly highlights the perils of being a public figure. You reveal so much about yourself on the Internet that it becomes really easy for random strangers to find out things about you and invade your beloved privacy.
  • Finally filed my tax returns. Hope I am not fined too much for delaying it by 4 months ;) The good thing is that you can file it online.
  • Although I dont talk about work on this blog but two awesome things happened. I have to talk about em. Raj’s commercial for Pantene finally went on air (see it here - it already has more than 7000 hits). And second, we revealed Appy Fizz’s new look. He looks totally cool in his new avatar. The commercial is finally on air (here).
  • I am completely hooked on to a Facebook game called Whos Has The Biggest Brain. I play it like 20 times a day without fail and my highest score there is about 2300. What is yours .. ?

Look forward to next week. Hope it brings more excitement and action. If I look back at my recent weeks, apart from sporadic instances of excitement, things have really been quite. I guess I need a spark. Where would it come from? Any clues? Hints?
