SBI more valuable than Citibank???

"On Monday... the market capitalisation of Citigroup was Rs 57,328 crore as against Rs 66,449 crore of SBI (based on closing share price on Friday)..."

"US government had infused $45 billion in Citigroup under the troubled asset relief programme, besides extending $300 billion guarantee for assets. Against this, in the present financial crisis, SBI has emerged even stronger than earlier. Its deposits and assets base increased faster than that of the Indian banking industry."

Drink More!! Get Smart!!

"Its like this...A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers..."
