TODAY'S TOP STORIES
*******************
Good numbers lend cheer to the new year
Was it clever timing or was it just providence? Either way, the economy has
rung out the year in style. Whether it is gross domestic product growth,
inflation or the Sensex, it continued to rain good news. Second quarter GDP
figures show the economy powering along at a healthy 6.6%. That�s down 2% from
the 8.6% recorded in the comparable period last year, but 6.6% on a high base
is not bad going at all.

Sensex signs off on a gala note, scales 6,600
The benchmark Sensex rebounded to its highest-ever close by ending above the
6,600-mark on the last trading day of the year on expectations of strong
earnings growth and robust foreign fund flows into India in 2005.

Economics will take over from politics
If 2004 was the year when politics dominated economics�more than 30 countries
went to the polls � 2005 is likely to see economics re-assert itself.

India: unchained tigers will help growth
2004 has been a surprisingly good year. The world economy grew at an estimated
5%, according to the IMF�s September 2004 World Economic Outlook, the highest
in three decades. Stock markets went up, as did housing prices.

<i>light shining</i>
As much of Asia reels under the impact of the tsunami, we bring you the peace
and comfort of William Cowper�s immortal �Light Shining Out of Darkness�.

Seven new year hopes from the government
I hope the government would not let our major urban centres , which are our
growth engines, decay. Most urban utilities, such as sewerage, are in a poor
state.
