stock market

this is one off the road blog, as its on blog but still not one!

THE STOCK market rollercoaster has left many people dazed and
confused, if not broke. Hindustan Times decided to ask some of the
finest

minds around about what they thought of the crash, boom, bang on the BSE.

MANEKA GANDHI: What did you expect! I have it from reliable sources
that those stupid brokers had been running a bull market, alternating
it with a bear market. Disgusting! Serves them right.

BAL THACKERAY: It's providence. The government should have renamed the
BSE the Chhatrapati Shivaji Stock Exchange. Fits in nicely in the area
too, since it's pretty close to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Vaastu
Sangrahalaya [the museum, in case you didn't know] and the Chhatrapati
Shivaji Terminus.

MALIKA SHERAWAT: It's the Sen-sex, after all. So it goes up and down,
up and down, up and down...

ARJUN SINGH: The HRD Ministry is proposing a 27 per cent reservation
on the 30-share index for penny stocks, since they may be considered
backward. The current 'correction' is nothing but a manifestation of
years of neglect of such shares.

SHAYAN MUNSHI: I saw nothing, I heard nothing, I don't even speak Hindi.

ESHA DEOL: Sen? Sex? Isn't that the story of my latest movie, Ankahee?

SALMAN KHAN: Let's just shoot those damn bears!

LALU PRASAD YADAV: Kya bole? Bull bhaag gaye? Arre, hamaare paas bahut
hai, ek do le jaaon. As it is, Nitish Kumar has taken over our
bungalow and we have nowhere to keep them.

MANMOHAN SINGH: We're introducing a bill making it illegal for the
Sensex to fall below the 10,500-point mark. Brokerages are, after all,
offices of profit.

BILL CLINTON: Sen-sex? I did not have sex-ual relations with that
woman, Miss Sen.

GEORGE W. BUSH: Let's bomb the BSE!
