Kellogg: Not for children under...

Kellogg Company, popularly known as Kellogg, has decided to block marketing of certain products to children. The voluntary initiative would see the introduction of ‘front of pack’ nutrition labelling. As per Kellogg Global Nutrient Criteria, a new internal standard, the company would adhere to certain norms while deciding what and how to market to children via all the channels. According to the company, ‘those products that don’t meet the criteria (which is almost 50% of Kellogg products currently marketed to children worldwide) will either be reformulated to meet the ‘Nutrient Criteria’ or they will no longer be marketed to children under twelve by the end of 2008.’ Later in 2007, the company would introduce Guidline Daily Amounts (GDAs) in the US, Canada and Mexico on the front labels of ready-to-eat cereal packages on sale.

Well worth the weight!

“The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health, or we suffer in soul or we get fat.” But the first people to disagree with Albert Einstein would be the gigantic followers of Shinto, the sumo wrestlers. sumo, a world that contains a world in itself. Everything about them is XL (Extra Large) – and once you see them thunderously thwacking their larger than life bodies – one begins to be sure of the origin of seismic activities on the Japanese archipelago!

Furthermore, love for this wrestling has found takers in countries apart from the Fuji-land as well; considering that the reigning Yokozunas – the highest rank in sumo wrestling – Asashoryu Akinori and Hakuho, are both Mongolians! And as the greatest wrestlers of the world meet for the fifteen day Nagoya Basho, one of the six grand sumo wrestling tournaments, at the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium From July 8, the wait for another world champion is almost over!

The world is going places... what about you?

“If you don’t climb the mountain, that is all you’ll be able to see...” – an old jungle saying! Alright, we flicked it right from the Phantom books down the hallway; but the fact is that this is quite a fantastic simile for the current state of investment options available for Indians, historically consigned to investing in mountains after mountains of extremely boring domestic currency investment options. Fortunately, Indian financial institutions are ensuring that this situation does not continue for long. In short, now you can go global with every penny that you might have.

A number of fund houses are gearing up to woo Indian investors in the best possible manner. Reliance, Tata, UTI, Kotak – all these mutual fund houses are on the cutting edge to present either a global fund investment option or a global advisory package for their customers. Kotak AMC has already filed the offer document with SEBI for the launch of the Global Emerging Markets Equity Fund, having tied up with the US-based firm, T Rowe Price. “This product that we would launch, would allow domestic investors to invest in global emerging markets; (and) India is a part of emerging markets,” is the assurance provided by Sandesh Kirkire, CEO, Kotak AMC. So what is the issue that he believes, could prevent Indians from investing abroad? “Today, SEBI allows you to invest either in fixed income or in equity. In fixed income, that is the debt markets, Indian interest rates are much higher than other markets.”

Jehadi Who?

Nobody can accuse the Indian media of being sqeamish or coy when it comes to breathlessly peddling sensational stories that emanate from the West. So, the blitz of stories about how a few young, educated and professional Muslims from India joining the ranks of al-Qaeda is almost as if Armageddon is imminent. Doctors are worried if they will get jobs in the UK and Indian pundits are worried that the country will get a ‘bad name’ in Western capitals as an emerging hub of terror, à la Pakistan. The tone and tenor of virtually all the media reports is: “O my God, now you have Jehadis working inside India!”

This would have been laughable, if the implications were not so dangerous. Are we now to believe that Jehadi terrorism is something that India is discovering only due to a couple of young Muslims were caught trying to cause mayhem in United Kingdom? Can someone tell us who is responsible for the following incidents? The attack on Indian Parliament in 2001; the killing of 20-plus policemen in a dawn shooting in Calcutta in 2002; the massacre of pilgrims in Akhshardham Temple in Ahmedabad in 2002; the Varanasi blasts; the Sarojini Nagar (Delhi) blasts; the Mumbai train blasts; the blasts in Malegaon and Hyderabad ?
