Ghost ship floats on hope
�Sit straight,� barks the peon at the reception, �the administrator is coming�.
That is the only excitement of the day at the CSE, a shadow of its former self
with a daily turnover of at best Rs 10 crore, against Rs 2,000 crore before the
stock scam of 2001 killed it. The administrator, TK Das, prefers not to
