Fed raises interest level

Over the two weeks around Labor Day in the US, everyone was keenly following the Fed's moves. For several years, Fed was dictating terms and had managed to maintain a great interest level. In recent times, Fed had to deal with increasing pressure from superpowers in Britain, EU and the old Russia and very recently was unseated from its top position. As contradictory as it might sound, this deflation was the reason for the increased interest levels over the two weeks. It required Fed to play hard ball again to bounce back. Everyone seemed to ask, can the Fed live up to the challenge? Is the US really open to a new legacy? Can Fed recover from the slump? We got our answers on 8th September, didn't we? It may not have made the headlines of Wall Street Journal, but we saw the supreme Fed back to life. It may have been aided by a chanceless British rescue operation, but nevertheless, the King is back. Roger Federer is back to his best. I loved every moment of the final. The US Open is not yet ready for a new legacy.

Doctor Who?

Last week, our friends had to take their toddler to the hospital and the doctor on duty happened to be a Dr. Band. I thought this was a funny name for a doctor. If this doctor were to give first-aid, its only fair to call it a band-aid :)
