Maple country lures investors with lucre

The lure of an alien Western land lies in its promise of a good quality life and prosperity. Indians returning home with bagful of dollars to buy and invest in everything that they dreamt of, have over the years added to the desires of their kith and kin in the country to try and look for greener pastures abroad. They are ready to do anything to get a foothold in the promised land.

Garden gnomes dominate the art market

It may be sense losing out to sensibility, or just Christmas arriving early. But Europe and America are being overwhelmed by battalions of fairies, elves and gnomes. A show of popular Victorian "fairy painting" opens next week at the Royal Academy in London. In the goblin-conscious United States, "Fairy Tale", a much-praised film set in 1916 about two girls who take "fairy photographs", has just opened in over 1,000 cinemas.

This was recently highlighted at a seminar, "Recruitment Strategies for 2000 AD", organised by the All India Management Association (AIMA) last week in the Capital.
