Jodha Akhbar

Here is the first theatrical trailer of the Gowriker's magnum opus "Jodha Akhbar". I really liked it and I think it will be one movie worth watching. Hrithik seems a revelation in the trailer, I never thought he will be pull off a strong character like Akhbar the great! Oh well, yes, there is no way one can think of Akhbar without thinking about the great Prithvi Raj Kapoor! I must say Hrithik doesn't disappoint, rather, I am looking forward to the movie.
Ash has not been in my good books ever though I have liked her character potrayal in Khakee and Dhoom. Ethereal beauty, can she ever bring out soul of a character? I guess not! I wish I could compare her with lovely Madhubala of yester years but somehow something seems amiss always.. or maybe I'm purely prejudiced :) ?

Sinking Currency, Sinking Country???

Well, some interesting points from the article are:

The euro, worth 83 cents in the early George W. Bush years, is at $1.45.
The British pound is back up over $2, the highest level since the Carter era.
The Canadian dollar, which used to be worth 65 cents, is worth more than the U.S. dollar for the first time in half a century.
The dollar is plunging because America has been living beyond her means, borrowing $2 billion a day from foreign nations to maintain her standard of living and to sustain the American Imperium.
The prime suspect in the death of the dollar is the massive trade deficits America has run up, some $5 trillion in total since the passage of NAFTA and the creation of the World Trade Organization in 1994.
The chickens of free trade are coming home to roost.

Some observations which I made on my own are: For TCS about 52% of revenue came from US, Infosys and Wipro about 63% and Satyam closer to 66% but what I notice is that number has been reducing over period of time
