We are passing through a critical phase in the global economy. The potential exit of Greece from the Eurozone and the cataclysmic fallouts this could have on the global financial system is already sending tremors through India with the rupee in free fall and an austerity drive announced by the FM.
In all this climate of uncertainty, what do we see on TV ? The unseemly fracas over Shah Rukh Khan and Sid Mallya in post IPL action, the walkout of Mamta Banerjee from a Reality TV show and of course the justifification of a 100 B USD valuation for Facebook. Nice bit of escapism but is anybody looking out for the Indian economy ?
I am off to the US for three weeks - more in June !
