Chelsea vs Bayern Muenchen 2012
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2G6NueO0k8&feature=related
Throughout match Chelsea remained underdog but had the last laugh......guess, that the diversity they had paid handsomely. BM on the other hand are seemed uniform, disciplined and virtuous (seemingly), but the difference they lacked proved decisive.

Change, change and change
So the prophesies of certainly, theoretically future has been belied again. GS predicted BRIC after china had silently risen already...it lasted for few years when Next 11 came. Now another twist. When obituaries for Europe was being written, it is emerging more of a solid block. So the customary power is back. And eternally optimistic Indians will be dis-heartened after reading this.
So this leaves the world in contrasting 3 blocks: US, Europe and China. Capitalistic (still), socialist and neo-communist. It is the game of Keynes, free market and state control...new theories are being tested. Hopefully the 2nd wins.
Meanwhile, it also means that big money-makers, in absence of new productivity, can manufacture money by increasing its speed (currency). No wonder we are living in so fast forward yet decadent world.

Euro-Neti Neti
Neti, neti: in Sanskrit- neither this nor this(that)....logic of negations to arrive at something conclusive.
Never was it truer than concurrent developments. Example, Eurozone. At the time of its inception, it was held as the paramount of ideals. And now serious threats have emerged on account of member's indiscipline (Greece default, France's regular 8% of budget deficit instead of norm 4%), criticism of loss to members over free monetary policy (no one country can devalue the currency if need be) etc etc.
The question about Greece is not Greece alone (it accounts for only 4% of whole euro economy), but who next. Already term PIIGS is coined: Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain. It would probably take just one member country to walk away and the whole of 10 years experiment will wash away.
Should likes of UK(though it is not doing good either) and Sweden be happy that they didn't relinquish their currencies or Turkey should have Schadenfreude that luckily it was barred to join Eurozone itself.

Reading God's Mind
So after all theory and conceptual possibilities, scientists are doing what they do best.......confirming it by experiment.
Only it takes 20 years and nearly 10 billion dollars to set-up the most advanced experiment ever conceived via Large Hadron Collider..
Least we expect is the confirmation of Higgs particle, any journey beyond quark begins from.
Beyond this will be revealation on Dark matter, extra dimensions, string theory (which one out of theoretical million postulates) etc etc. All this with 1.0×10-9 grams of H2 at near absolute zero temperature.
Will they generate black hole, will it consume us..though scientists are unanimous in opinions against it, it will still be better to die wiser....

The seers who saw it coming
Quite befitting to retract my harping on failure of so called wise men.....
Madman who was a Prophet.
Probably knowledge is meant to be obscure. Even in the current information-age, so much of noise around doesn't help.
To give due credit, most government in recent crisis adopted Keynesian policies(stimulus) and it worked indeed. This is an open debate though, whether recent recession would have been more severe in absence of such measures. Also where is the reconciliation between Adam Smith's invisible hand (policies of Laissez Faire) and heavily employed mechanism of: 'Lender of Last Resort'. Further fuelling the fire is the blame: are some too big to fail.
Still, public fury notwithstanding, probably the likes of Goldman Sachs would have done equally well without Government Funding.

Blue Ocean/Red Ocean
Blue Ocean has apparently caught Strategist's mind too..here
Obviously being Whale is better than to be Piranha. Work on your strength peacefully, become big and royal, far away for bloody competitions.....
But soon there will be challengers to attack your territory and then fight you must. Still isn't life the best at the highest order of food chain, like: Steinadler.
