Bongo Buget by a confused Relaince doorman By: Puccaghati | Wednesday , 8 Jul '09 22:07:06 PM Reply | Forward Only a Bengali could have made such as confused budget . Neither fish nor fowl , neither forward or backward , just eat moody. Yes he has the Bengali mafia in the Media drooling over it- but that is Bengali chauvinism . Mukerjee is well known as the doorman at the RIL main office for years together , so the tinkering with whether "GASH " is oil or OIL is Gash a la NELP 8 , but this is the standard of Jadavpur Univ profs.!!!

Reflections on Budget - A midsummer day's surpriseBy: Ashok | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 17:55:23 PM Reply | Forward It is difficult to make out whether the writer who penned the budget analysis is an economist, philosopher, futurologist, optimist, pessimist, apologist (for affable Mr. Mukherjee of course) or a nowhere man!! This budget is like a watermelon (a summer fruit), big in size with shades of pink inside tempting one to infer that it'll be sweet when eaten, all juice but no substance leaving one with feeling of empty belly after consumption. Mr. Mukherjee’s attempt is typical of a student writing his board examination who by the time finishes answering the easy questions (read sops) finds that there is no time left to tackle the tough (but high mark) ones, comfortable with the thought that there are four more attempts available to pass the exam, little realizing that the future questions papers may be even tougher to tackle.
