White is the Presence of all Colours.

Every Colour has its Significance. Among all colours White is considered as Presence of all Colours; Whereas Black is considered as Absence of all Colours.

All Combinations with White are Attractive. Nowadays, Fashion Designer Choose more Light Colours than Darker Colours as we Closely observe in Television. Green, Blue, Brown and Orange are the Colours which give a natural Attraction towards the Audience.

where Green gives freshness to the eyes and Blue give coolness to the eyes. The Fashion Designers, Photographers and the Cinematographers use the Hue, Saturation and Brightness to their advantage to make sure that the clothes they design and the Photos they take are matching their expectations. 


Coming back to colours, the Problem with Black is it absorbs Dust and any thing which is painted in black from laptops,desktops to any other house hold things gets dusty and dirty.

In Hindu Mythology, Black is the Colour of Saturn. Blue is the Colour of Jupiter and Red is the Colour of Sun.

In Tamizh films, there are some rumours created about Bulls getting Angry towards the Person who wears Red or waves red cloth. But in reality, Bulls and Cows can see the World in Black & White and they will not be able to view or identify the colours.

Ride With the Tide on Global Meltdown.

Stock markets taking a beating day after day meant that the traders and investors are not able to decide to buy or sell the stocks they hold.

Everyday the opinions and analysis keeps on failing as the investors and traders are left blinking.

Foreign Institutional Investors hold the key for all the Markets. As they play a 'Wait and Watch' game, it's difficult for the small investors to decide on stocks.

The GDP for India has been predicted as 8% and its reducing month by month. Global Recession happens because of the panic created in 2008. The Panic has just taken the Belief from the investors.

Some of them Left the Market, Some of them Committed Suicide, Some of them left Bankrupt. It's that kind of the year 2008 was that it produced maximum damage to everyone....Job Cuts, Top Management Changes in Bigger Organizations, Suicides, Accidents, Bankruptcy...what not?

But the Show must go on. The FIIs will come back to invest in all the Markets.

The Fact remains that "No Market has grown Steadily for continuous SIX years. This is bound to happen". The lessons learnt from this Global Meltdown shouldn't be forgotten.

Landing up between the devil and the deep blue sea..

The Investors are in such state now as the Subject says it. Landing up between the Devil and the Deep blue sea. You dunno which way to go? which way is harmless or harmful? either to keep the money in tact or to go invest it in Share Market?

These Questions couldn't be answered at this point, as Sensex and Nifty goes up and down every day. One day it's a Rally :) :) and other day it's Blood Bath. :( :(

2008 Markets have proved some Great Achievements. They exceeded the Expectations of the Analysts, and thrashed their Analysis and Opinions in all ways. 2008 is definitely not the Year a Bull might have expected. The 2006,2007 success stories were quickly vanishing and it(sensex) went to the levels of 2004. :( :(

I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in.


I'm sorry that we have to have a Washington presence. We thrived during our first 16 years without any of this. I never made a political visit to Washington and we had no people here. It wasn't on our radar screen. We were just making great software.

When the PC was launched, people knew it was important.


When you want to do your homework, fill out your tax return, or see all the choices for a trip you want to take, you need a full-size screen.
