Nano: The concept of affordability
THERE IS a silver lining for every dark cloud or we can say there is always light at the end of the tunnel. The branding of Nano, the people’s car has got huge support from the media and ultimately from the common public 'aam aadmi' the term nowadays is being used more vibrantly. Nano as it claims satisfies the requirement of a cheap car for the public. So many died and left behind the dream of owning a car in their lifetime. Finally, Tatas came to rescue the common man from this very misery of dying before owning a car.
Tata unveiled the concept of an affordable car for all. Then the land issue in Singur came up and left some dark clouds on the project. But Tatas emerged successfully from all the drop backs whether it be the strike by the farmers or be the terror attacks. Finally, the concept of Nano became a reality. The branding of the car was a well crafted one and booking counters were crowded.

Users have option to change language settings through the ‘settings’ tab or through the language option on their Facebook homepage.
After Orkut Facebook is the second most widely liked networking site in India.
Introduction of regional languages was incorporated by Google in its networking site Orkut, however when the facility was tried by users there were some technical drawbacks which did not allow transliteration through Google’s own browser Chrome. Online war to defeat and rise is always on by websites in competition, and the new change seems to be Facebook’s trial to fit in visitor’s convenient requirement.

Gold prices to boom in India
GET RICH with gold, it is possible now. Even though gold funds and gold bonds do not attract tax benefits, there has been a major switch in the international and national market as the middle class investor, bitten by the share market collapse and the housing bubble burst, has decided to buy gold instead. In short, the yellow metal long neglected for paper scrips and mad speculation in real estate, has suddenly come back in demand because gold promises real value and its value does not fall overnight like Satyam or the IT sector.
Obama’s Bangalore bashing will not affect gold prices but it may affect the share price of IT sector companies. Similarly, unlike land, gold is something you can keep in your pocket, so there is no question of a distress sale when prices fall which leads to a further fall or panic induced price fall. In real estate, the recession is going to last for a long time. Simply because speculators bought flats on housing loan EMIs in the hope that the price would double in a year and they would sell off the flat and make a killing.
