I have been the busiest I’ve ever been in the past four or five months, and as a result I haven’t been able to blog at all. Now that my schedule is a little less hectic, I will resume blogging. The weekend links post is the easiest to begin with so I’m starting with that.
The first link is on Uber, and while a lot of attention has been paid to the company, enough hasn’t been written about the drivers who use the company to make their living. This is a short piece which is worth a read.
The next link is a very interesting piece about how Facebook can know even when its ads influenced an offline purchase. I suppose it was only a matter of time before a company figured out a way to do this, and I feel this is the direction other online ad companies will take as well.
The Economist has a good piece on oil prices, although I feel one needs to look at China’s markets as well in order to get a more comprehensive picture on oil.
A very interesting article on how Google Maps data is refined.
The RBI governor provides some interesting commentary on the Make in India mantra. I think the headline doesn’t do justice to what the governor is saying so it will serve you well to ignore the headline and read his words.
I loved this post about a couple who write about what they learned from their rabbits.
Finally, I enjoyed reading this guide to India’s tiger reserves, and hope to visit one in the near future.
Enjoy your weekend!
Great compilation of articles – each one worth a read.
any bond issue coming up soon ?
Hi Pradeep,
No big issue is in the pipeline. It seems like debt issues have dried up this financial year.
Looks like IREDA plans to come with tax free interest issue.

It is conditional upon the finance ministry’s approval to issue these kind of bonds and that too in the next fiscal year.
