A tribute to Bob Willis (Column: Close-In)
The passing away of any cricketer brings sorrow to one's heart. It gets even more painful when one has played, partied and rubbed shoulders together. The sad news of the death of a phenomenal cricketer and one of England's best fast bowlers, Bob Willis, brought a lump to my throat. Memories of him darting in to bowl to me, a huge 6ft 6 inches in frame, with fluffy hair, finally releasing the ball quick and fast with a windmill action, comes immediately to mind.

The paradox of stress (Comment)
The word 'stress' is a paradox and an enigma. Stress is increasingly becoming a dreaded phenomenon, especially for industry where pressure and stress to increase productivity is incessant and unrelenting. Rajeev Kumar, Vice President HR at NIIT says, "Stress is as constant as change in our corporate life. And Stress-related health issues are rampant -- hypertension/BP; sugar etc. In fact, jokes running around in corporates are that in medical examination reports done at the time of hiring by HR, if someone has no stress-related health issues, it's a question mark on selection and suitability saying, this guys doesn't take pressure, hence not fit for job."

Transmission mechanism: Monetary policy and beyond (Column: Behind Infra Lines)
The Reserve Bank of India decided to hold repo rates unchanged in its meeting on December 5, 2019. In this context, apart from the outlook on inflation, the crucial area of focus should be the "transmission mechanism" of the rate cuts already delivered in 2019. In common parlance, "transmission mechanism" can be interpreted as the chain effect of rate cuts being passed on to the inter-related and inter-linked sectors in the overall ecosystem, to both lower the cost of credit and increase the availability of credit. Primarily, raise the money supply. The concept of an effective "transmission mechanism" is vital for India, both within the context of monetary policy and in the broader contexts of investments, capital flow and effective policymaking.
