Breaking the hiatus

It's been such a long time since I wrote here. While it hardly matters why I didn't, what matters is why back again. With the current financial crises going on and unfolding in ways much unexpected, it is stimulating my curiosity. I am trying to learn and understand the direct as well as spill over impacts of the all the ongoing events and activities taken in this long chain of cause and effect. Writing here helps me do that as it has in the past.
