So, it's a year into the new Government. And the reviews? Well the genreal verdic is that India has done well over the past one year. I have to agree. As much as I am a supporter of the BJP, I still back this government, primarily because they are soing a good job.

The four major cities in our land have all opined that the Government is doing a GOOD JOB. The key factor to this is apparently our Prime Minister :Dr. Manmohan Singh. A man highly regarded and decorated. For more on him click here. Right from the time he was the FM, I have had regard for him despite not knowing a word of Finance then. Well done Dr.Singh and more so Miss.Gandhi.

Well, all governments promise muchbut do little. Our goverment apparently follows suit as declared recently by Dr.Singh. he says that 90% of the promises are still unkept or not yet on the path of being kept. Not too good. But the one good thing that has arose is that economic reforms is very much on the up, with the Sensex touching all time highs- but has plateued out now somewhere in the range of 6500. Well done again.

The agriculutral, cement, petrol etc are all doing well. The company where my mom works, ONGC, is also doing exceptionally well. They are planning to acquire fields all over the world. Stocks are touching all time highs here too. True disinvestment is not taling place, but who cares?

The hotel industry as well real estate are booming. Often the sore thumg, the hotels in Bombay are now beginning to report fabulouspatronage. The Taj Mahal hotel recently declared that its profits have gone up over the past fiscal-or something to that regard. Real estate prices are too touching astronomical heights, all thanks to the builders lobby (cartel?) though.

So, one year down, 4 to go. Speculation, anticipation, trepidation. Dr.Singh, one word would rid these other three: Deliverance.
