Both, some times here and sometimes there. Distance is dead OJ. Disseminating knowledge is a virtue and the little knowledge we have we try to share; Global markets are complicated and hard to understand as if daily trading is less of a challenge, we try to make our trades background a little more richer in its content. The real decisions are made about our jobs, about our collective economic welfare by these global markets. To which we pay least attention. The vandals are at the door, the oil prices we use in our cars, the technology we use for our Internet and our daily life, are all impacted by global money pundits. To understand their moves is helpful in planning our future better. I try to write on these global trends,try to understand these issues with my very basic and banal approach. What’s happening is the only purpose, in the process if I hurt anyone I want to apologise, life is too small for these big ego's to carry and contain. Globalisation of money is a unique phenomenon, as human race joins together in search of greater tranquillity, these globalisation processes are exerting new kind of stresses on our living. Economic and social events beyond our control are impacting us. Strategic issues are impacting our daily life's as never before. Closer the world has become, the bigger the problems it has imposed on us. It looks as if we all are moving towards absolute division, I think this is just a beginning of greater unity, it is rather unity in diversity, lesser interference and more transparency in global affiars is very apparent. Last time I remember of a spy plane U-2 crisis as a very young kid nearly led Kruchev to threaten US with a 'Nucler retaliation.' I think of Gary Powels, a US epsionage plane U-2 took off in early 60's from Buddeer near Peshawar during the height of cold war, it was downed over Russia. The ensuing crisis had global implications, far more disturbing than now. Today alteast these guys are talking, the world needs to talk to resolve its issues not break heads. I see glass half full others may think it half empty, it is all a question of perception. Without economic welfare and prosperity for all, our 'blue pearl' will continue to slip into abyss. We as responsible members of the global village should understand the dynamics of this unique phenomenon of 'globalisation and unification.' It will help us to become a better global citizen. we like it or not, we are losing national identities, our economic interests are common and our interests the same, irrespective of the place we are in London, Paris, Islamabad, Kuwait or NY. We live in world without frontiers and without boundaries. The global finance never sleeps, form one end of the world to the other the world has become on country and distance is dead! LET US BE A CATALYST, LET US PLAY OUR ROLE TO BRING GLOBAL UNDERSTANDING TOGETHER. Global economic unity is a harbinger to global unity and it gives us idea of shape of things to come. Internet provides us to play our role beyond our capacity, the gauntlet is thrown, let's do it. Our 'Idea thread' is a small step towards that goal of understanding 'sans frontiers.' So help us God. Amen
