South China Sea, East China Sea and the maritime disputes in and around those regions

Need a separate post for tracking these topics and get armed with links.


good link on ADIZ


"Editor’s Note: China’s establishment last November of an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) shook many observers, who feared it was a first step in a more aggressive Chinese foreign policy. Here at the Foreign Policy Essay, we’ve already taken an early look at the issue. However, as the months have passed and a crisis has yet to emerge, analysts are beginning to take a second look at the issue. Eric Heginbotham, a senior political scientist at the RAND Corporation, contends that the reasons for China’s decision to establish the ADIZ are often misunderstood and that U.S. policy needs to focus more on China’s actual behavior, not the zone itself."

Tips and interesting thoughts on the Indian economy and markets

Good read. Though I don't *totally* accept with the views expressed, they are perhaps the most interesting that I have read in a while.




I would have liked to seen something on the power, energy and distribution sector too. Perhaps a bit on defence... if it can be privatized, made into public listed companies and such. They will become good avenues for investment too.

Back to the basics

Should really keep a note of stuff that I do from time to time.


Little did I realize that I will see S P Infocity, Fursungi, Hadapsar etc again... and did it all over again while going to Purandhar.
Covered a fair bit of Vishalgad, Ratnagiri, Radhanagari and the ghats too.




Yay,I remember the routes in and around Pune! Feels good to be back... to life.


Now if only I could take sometime off to cover the entire west coast. Someday...
