Best of Python Hyssssteria - Side A

I've always wanted to go to Evam's plays. And finally it was my friend L who fulfilled my wish. We both were too excited to hear about the play in Land Mark (City Centre)that we immediately asked the ticketing office to block the tickets.

We got to know that the show was called "Best of Python Hyssssteria - Side A". I absolutely had no clue of the story line etc. L told me that it is inspired by Monty Python. Well I've never heard something like that before and hence couldn't correlate with anything. However the 2+ hrs of BPH was enjoyable.

On doing some research on what Monty Python is all about, I finally understood that it's the sketch show kind. Wondering as to what a sketch show is? Sketch show is a series of comedy scenes spanning between 1-10 min. Often sketches are first improvised by the actors and written down based on the outcome of these improv sessions, however improvisation is not necessarily involved in all sketch comedy.

Watch out for Best of Python Hyssssteria - Side B on June 16th and 17th :-). Ticketing starts online from June 1st. Book your tickets at evam

Here's an interesting read about Money Laundering.

I got to know about this book through Business World. Raymond W.Baker has a long career in international business and he is also a scholar at the Brookings Institution and a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy in Washington DC. He often testifies before the US congress on the parallel economy. If you are wondering as to what the parallel economy is, it is nothing but in simple terms the black economy.

Raymond Baker has written a book on how black money acts as the single biggest anomaly in the functioning of the free market economies around the world. He has also presented interesting case studies on Venezuela, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Algeria.

I recently saw this movie "The Last King of Scotland" where Idi Amin tries to have a complete control of Uganda and in the process performs many atrocities. I was surprised to know that it happened in the recent past sometime during the 1970s but after reading the case studies I'm shocked to see that many such atrocities still happen around the world.

It's sad to know that despite having all the policies in place with respect to AML, both the developed countries and the developing nations continue to not act on the same for their own benefits. Ultimately illegality, poverty and distorted philosophy exist in a continuum and it is these short comings that reveal capitalism’s Achilles heel (vulnerable point).

If there is political will then all of these can be completely curtailed. We need to have sensible steps with utmost commitment to share good fortune to close the gaps between the rich and the poor. As we all know that there are many contradictions between fresh thinking emerging from schools of philosophy and justifications for the status quo in the free market’s supporting canons. We may have to revise these so that capitalism can extend its opportunities and benefits to the whole of humankind. These are some of the suggestions given by Raymond Baker.

Do you know that 50% of our economy is driven by black economy? It's shocking but that's the fact. Though we have the Right to Information Act, such reports are never revealed for the reasons such as black ecomony helps run the political parties during elections.
