TV and newspaper jargon is a constant source of mirth (Think I have been watching too many TV debates, thanks to Uttarakhand floods and some new juicy scam). I expect management jargon must be having a similar effect on the non-managers.
Any TV debate has a confused and/or aggressive anchor (think anyone of them, not just Arnab), and six participants, each with a 2-inch square window of opportunity-to-speak. The anchor lights a fire, it snowballs into flames, sometimes roaring flames.
Some guy: This is anti-national, anti- individual freedom, anti- aam admi, blah, blah...
Anchor: Absolutely (he never says relatively)
Another guy: This will negate the impact of what our govt. did in so-and-so year, blah, blah, blah..
Anchor: You have hit the nail on the head (whose head?)
Yet Another gal: You were always anti-poor, pro-America, FDI in Retail was a conspiracy, blah, blah,..
Anchor (turning to Guy 4 whom this barb is aimed at): Can you explain your stand on this important issue, vis-a-vis this charge made by YAG (see above)?
And so, at the end of a fire-and brimstone, noisy half hour, all the world's problems solved, vocal cords massaged, everyone goes home. And the viewer is none-the-wiser about whether his vegetables will cost more or less, due to the Monetary policy, Egypt uprising, or the Uttarakhand floods. And he is vaguely wondering who Snowden is, and if he saw him (snow..) on the weather channel.
All the new applicants for banks...what are they banking on?

U r smart to watch Tv ..some chose to not watch tv to become tv fodder..whether washed away by the almighty worshipee or buried by inflation amid their veggies
My brain is fodder, trying to figure out the difference between monetary policy and fiscal policy, and their impact on inflationary pressures, and outgoing FDI and FII.
