The higher the temperature, the brighter the flowers. Even 44 degress can't make it shrivel up.


CCTV reported today that China has founded the first rating agency, Dagong, in the developing world. It's an independent private entity. Standard & Poor, Moody and Fitch Ratings could no longer fool the world as they wish. What Dagong did the other day was to downgrade Britain from AA- to A+. Because its debt is too high. In 2010 UK deficit accounts for 9.8% of GDP while its debt for 78.7%. Its economy grew only 1.3% which is below world average last year.

In the Chinese language, Dagong means Big(Da) Fairness(gong). Dagong is also the first two characters of a Chinese idiom(da gong wu si)which means unselfishness.

Delhi Diary May 17 full moon night: 3rd eye

While some are cheering for the left debacle in the Assembly election in West Bengal and other states, others are clearminded. Even Mamata Banerjee saide she was not against the Left in the State, she's only against^^^. The CPM ruled West Bengal for 34 years. How long has the Congress Party ruled India before its March 1977 defeat in the general election? 30 years, 4 years less than CPM rule. After criticism, it's the season for self-criticism. Only by doing a round of nirvana could the CPM get rebirth.
