| T N Ninan: Think the future | 21-NOV-09 |
|
| The time may have come for India to stop thinking of five-year plans, and to focus instead on 10- and 20-year scenarios. Long-term scenario-building achieved a new level of popular awareness when Goldman Sachs came out with its Brics report, in 2003 — positing that India and China would become two of the three largest economies in the world in the space of roughly one generation. Since that eye-popping statement, the story about the rising economies, and of shifting power balances, has become the stuff of everyday journalism. But, as yet, most people are only dimly aware of what transformational change will come to mean. |

| Rosy Blue rules the world of glitter | 08-NOV-09 |
|
| Cycling around Surat in the mid-1960s, Dilip Mehta, a gangly teenager learning the ropes of the diamond trade, had little inkling of the globe-trotting road that the stones would take him on. It would be a fairy-tale-like journey that would see this college drop-out from Mumbai appointed a Baron by the king of a faraway country called Belgium. But this was no fairy tale. |
