Fighting inflation

Fighting inflation requires government to take unpopular actions like reducing spending or raising taxes, while traditional fiscal policy solutions to fighting unemployment tend to be more popular since they require increasing spending or cutting taxes.
We have seen that unemployment can be kick started by increased spending.
Increased spending by government can be done by starting big projects.
There is no way any govt can force private sector to hire more people , Unemployment has to be dealt with fiscal policies now in the present political conditions of gridlocks and filibusters its going to be really tough to implement.
We should have the unemployment crisis taken care by government first and then the private sector can take it forward.

So finally Its Congress

I was following the Elections 2009 closely and was expecting to see some change this time specially wanted to see some change in the people getting elected but was sad to see the same old gang getting elected in center and the states, So what happened to all the Jago Vote karro campaign . Well its all done and the People of India have given thier choice this time almost unanimoulsy . I am not a Congressman well to think of it i am not a BJP fan too but I am a proliterate who wants India to achieve its stature in the International community, so who ever it is whatever party is elected I am an Indian who wants to see India powerful and responsible . There were many parallel things going around while the elections going on , First was Sri Lanka issue . then it was the emergence of Fundamentalist rising in Pakistan , then it was Indo American alliance .I wanted to see the GenX politicos the Deora,Pilot,Ghandi, future genrations comming in lime light take charge and handle some important portfolios . Why cannot Congress give these newbies some cabinet berths and see how they handle them thus empowering the youth and the oldies standing by them with full support, Its just the first round of swearing in happening so we can speculate for sometime till Sonia Mam decides and let the motely crew bring some changes in this country, what will happen they will fail the first time so did the last Home Minister after spending his entire life time in Poliitcs .
One good outcome from this election is the demise of "Politics of Region " and "Politics of Caste" and finally comming to 2 Party system .
Its a wait and watch for next 5 years .........

26th April Straits Cafe Santana Row

Straits at Santana Row is always our favorite and i guess the feel of Santana Row is also a major factor in the restaurant's in and around the Row. In fact we like almost all the food joints there and its rarely a disappointment when we go there..
It was Straits this time and as usual the place was bustling with activity. We got a table for two and its kind of a funny sitting arrangement all the couples are given a table for two near the bar. Its sitting too close to the other folks around you so we changed the table and got a bigger one facing the kitchen.
I was tired from the hectic week and wanted to chill so i wanted a fresh fruit drink and ordered a Mojito and the lady ordered some soup which was really sad .
Then for the main course it was usual chicken for me and the fish for the lady....
Couple of Mojito and a good dinner is all it takes for a man to unwind and recharge for the next week...
