Recession

I have become a frequent traveller to the US in the last couple of years. Each time I inevitably pass through France (transit). It takes atleast an hour to checkin at Bangalore and sometimes close to a couple of hours at France. This time (Mid Jan 2009) I was past the check-in at Bangalroe in 5 mins (I am not exaggerating). I was past the security check at France in less than 10 mins.

Though I was happy I am very worried with the things to come in the next few months.

Once I reached here. I saw that JC Penney had a door busters sale on a weekend (starting 6am). I being a lazy bum on a weekend, went to the store at 11am. Surprise, surprise - not too many souls at the store. I got some pretty good deals at the store - a 100$ sweater for $10 and a few other warm clothing.

Once again I was happy with my shopping but very worried with the things to follow in the next few months. I just hope for the world's sake and even my sake the economy improves and Obama's plans become successful!
