Thanks God Its Friday! Juggling between running the office and busy with house chores, I was really looking forward to the weekend.

This week most major world companies announced their last year's performance. I attended mine, joined by a crowd numbering in thousands dialing in to the meeting from over 50 offices worldwide. Inspite of best ever performance, the industry I am in is really going through a challenging time. At the current price of the commodity, it is basically not even at break-even level. There are now even more emphasis on gettings more efficiency, more focus on cost, prudence spending and there are already hint of having a leaner organisation. So being busy and saddled with endless amount of work one should not be perturbed at all in this puzzling time.

The current recession is starting to affect everyone here one way or the other. Today our 11 year old was saying that one of the student in his year had to leave. Words circulating around blame it on the recession. Supposely the dad lost his job and had to get his kid out.
