Srilanka Crisis

The current crisis faced by our neighbouring Srilanka is nothing more than a shadow cast by India on it's tiny neighbour. India did not want it's neighbour do well. It has done all it can possibly do to bring Srilanka to its present situation. India's selfishness and self-centered nature has brought this tiny island nation almost to a standstill. After all this India is behaving like it's a saviour to solve Srilanka's problems. If Srilanka was allowed to govern by itself Srilanka would have been far more better than it is now. India has tried to pull Srilanka into all kinds of problems. Handing over of Katchatheevu was not with good intentions. It was a small bait for a big fish. Srilanka was tricked into accepting Katchatheevu in return for handing over Srilanka to it's much bigger neighbour India. This is a wake up call for the island nation to examine who are the real friends and who are time-servers. Srilanka will not get another better opportunity than now to do be better. International relations are not based on sweet talk and a sumptuous meal at the end of the meeting. It's time for Srilanka to prove themselves for what they stand for instead of being pulled into a trap and told to be contended with their problems and go from now bad to worse and still worse from here.

Banking & Finance: Mint

In the world of banking, a mint is not a place where coins are made, but rather a term used to describe a financial institution that has been granted permission by a central bank to issue banknotes. This role is also known as a note-issuing bank or a currency board. The concept of a mint in banking is rooted in the history of currency. In the past, coins were minted by governments or private entities, and they served as a means of payment and a store of value. However, as economies grew and trade expanded, the demand for larger denominations of currency increased. This led to the development of banknotes, which were issued by private banks as a way to facilitate transactions and provide a convenient alternative to coins. As the use of banknotes grew, governments became concerned about the potential for inflation and the impact of private banknote issuance on the overall stability of the economy. In response, central banks were established to regulate the issuance of banknotes and ensur

Kamala Harris: Missing the Moment to Define Her Leadership

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism,

Finance & Banking: Brief history of the modern bank

The history of the modern bank can be traced back to ancient times when people used various methods of storing and exchanging wealth. One of the earliest forms of banking originated in Mesopotamia around 2000 BC, where temples served as the first lenders. These temples provided loans to farmers in the form of grain or silver, with interest rates varying depending on the time of repayment. In ancient Egypt, the precursor to modern banking emerged with the establishment of grain banks that stored surplus crops and provided loans to farmers during periods of scarcity. These banks also served as intermediaries for international trade, exchanging goods for gold and silver. The concept of banking continued to evolve in ancient Greece and Rome, with moneylenders and wealthy individuals offering loans to merchants and traders. The Romans, in particular, developed a sophisticated banking system that included the issuing of promissory notes, letters of credit, and the establishment of the first
