Obama and Romney's 2nd Townhall Debate in Pictures

Last updated on: October 17, 2012 at 2:59 pm By Desh Kapoor

Yesterday, Barrack Obama and Mitt Romney sparred in the 2nd Debate, which was in Townhall format. Candy Crowley of CNN anchored the debate and her one Fact Check of Mitt Romney’s rather offensive remarks on Obama’s assertion about what he said in the Rose Garden, the day after, will go down in history as one of the most remembered moments of any debate. She was, btw, the first woman to anchor a debate in 20 years of debates! Here are... Read more

When Indian Re 1 coin was worth Rs 5 in Bangladesh when melted!

Last updated on: October 16, 2012 at 2:22 pm By Desh Kapoor

Remember Mohammad Bin Tughlaq? The wise fool, who came up with currency long back, and suddenly everyone was minting money because he didn’t use the right material. Well, until 2009, India hadn’t come out of this Tughlaqian mindset! Those Re 1 coins, which were rather huge, served a special purpose – not just of giving alms to beggars. They were being smuggled to Bangladesh and melted into safety blades and were worth Rs 5! Such was the arbitrage opportunity for... Read more
