Clintons earned $109 Million!!! Bush can make even more

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Clinton made nearly $109 million since they left the White House, capitalizing on the world's interest in the former first couple and lucrative business ventures.

The Clintons reported $20.4 million in income for 2007 as they gave the public the most detailed look at their finances in eight years. Almost half the former first couple's money came from Bill Clinton's speeches.

George Bush can make even more as he is famous for all the things he has done during his two terms. His Bushism ,Iraq war and other point of view would make him great public speaker. The most hated are the ones who make more money a.k.a. Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. And Bush has a comical image too. May be he could take some public speaking tips from our very own Laloo Prasad Yadav.

Sorry state for India

It is sad that the UPA government are trying to wriggle out of the nuclear deal under the red bastions pressure. When will our politics be free from minority appeasement policies?

ICICI to start overseas investing

ICICIdirect.com, the online broking arm of ICICI Securities, today launched its overseas trading service that will allow its resident Indian customers to buy and sell equities across 13 US stock exchanges, including NYSE and Nasdaq.

It’s uncertain how well overseas investment services will fare, given the significant gains India’s own Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange have seen over the past year, making the country one of the most attractive investment destinations worldwide. Market analysts say Indian investors’ lack of knowledge of overseas markets will also serve as a speed bump to placing their money in overseas equities and funds.

The Indian company is looking for similar tie-ups in other parts of the world, such as Europe, to allow Indian investors to buy equities listed on London Stock Exchange, or other markets, where the regulations permit such investments.

However,the forms are not yet available in most branches.

Rude competition

The current trend in finding talent bu television channels have become rude . This i think was started by American idol . In India Sony's Indian idol copied it . The zee TV which was famous for finding singing talents also chose format which is being rude to contestants. Only difference in zee the judges fight a lot . Now Star's show is trying the same .
But i think the rudest show is MTv's roadies and Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen .
