The Indian budget every year has always been an eagerly awaited event. For many decades, the best minds in economics, finance, tax, business and industry throng the media house to analyze the provisions shared by the Financial Minister.
Sometimes major events completely disconnected may be data points for the plans of the different powers around the world. The challenge is to discern what purpose they serve? More critically, what are we moving towards?

Sometimes, for those who have a dream and the dreams include a hero – a living hero sometimes – such dreams come true. Krishna Shenoi is “a nineteen year old Indian kid who enjoys making movies, books, art and other stuff like that..”. He made one small film on Steven Spielberg, which he called ” animated tribute to my hero, filmmaker Steven Spielberg”.
And then one day he got this letter, one that he would have hardly imagined would come by his way.
Dear Krishna, Steven saw your animated tribute and letter that Roger posted in the blog for the Chicago Sun Times (http://blogs.suntimes.com/foreignc/2013/03/steven-spielberg—animated-tribute-2012.html). He has written you a note and I have attached it to this email. Please let us know where we can send you a hard copy and we will FEDEX that to you as well.
Best wishes, Samantha Becker Assistant to Steven Spielberg
