Hup Holland Series!



I will be writing this "Hup Holland" series for a variety of reasons.
  • I live here some 7 (seven) odd years and I feel for my country (despite the fact that I am of Indian descent)
  • I have totally adopted the culture and am the culture has adopted me.
  • I have been past the dejection and disillusionment TO "hup holland mode"
  • I have been through all the hurdles to realize and respect of what I have and how I live
  • I want to contribute to help make my country to become a nation of excellence and not just some vacation spot for some asians (pun intended! ;-))
  • If I ever leave (I mean go to some other place , get a new job, move to afganistan because I wanna teach the kids out there or help street kids in argentina get computer savvy), I leave with pain (of parting) and not in disgust.
  • And last but not the least, I want to motivate you too! :-)
Listen to what I say about this...

This is a shocking day, we thought someone would have pulled Lehman, Merrill Lynch like Bear Stearns, Freddie, Fannie. But it is shaking time! We have some tough challenges here. Get ready to stand up on your own! Expect real harsh conditions in 2009! A stunning makeover of the Wall Street landscape sent stocks falling precipitously Monday, with the Dow Jones industrials sliding 500 points in their worst point drop since the September 2001 terrorist attacks. Investors reacted badly to a shakeup of the financial industry that took out two storied names: Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch Co. Stocks also posted big losses in markets across much of the globe as investors absorbed Lehman's bankruptcy filing and what was essentially a forced sale of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America for $50 billion in stock. While those companies' situations had reached some resolution, the market remained anxious about American International Group Inc. , which is seeking emergency funding to shore...
