Grt work guys......Hindu editorials are a part and parcel of CAT prep. But in Mumbai we dont get Hindu often. So i was just thinking...Can i contribute with an analysis of the Economic Times edits ?

Hope this doesnt dilute the objectives of this page since the ET edits are also quite esoteric.

Hope i can contribute.

TODAYZ ED:

BETTER ABANDONED THAN REVISED...
subverted-to destroy completely,ruin
unscrupulous- Devoid of scruples; oblivious to or contemptuous of what is right or honorable
lacunae-gap,loophole
usg: The scheme has not been subverted by "unscrupulous" private organisations or suffered because of the existence of some legal lacunae...

Nuclear power and the mirage of energy security

professed-openly declared as such(...professed objective....)
vagaries-An extravagant or erratic notion or action.(....are subject to the vagaries of the global market place)
ineluctable-inevitable(...it is ineluctable that some of the envisaged capacity expansion will come through this route)
insolvent-Unable to meet debts or discharge liabilities; bankrupt.(As long as State electricity utilities remain insolvent)
escrows-Money, property, a deed, or a bond put into the custody of a third party for delivery to a grantee only after the fulfillment of the conditions specified.(We have experimented with escrows and other payment security mechanisms)
acquiesce -to consent or comply passively or without protest(getting the people to acquiesce in locating nuclear power plants in their neighbourhood is not going to be easy anymore.
)
panacea -cure all

Will b addin more as i read on...
@vKris-ur idea iz excellnt but da problm iz quorum for the same,although we religiously follow ths thrd but itz difficult 2 vist the thrd @the same time 2 hav a discussion n 4 a tpic tht changz daily it is of no use 2 discuss over 2 dayz
Now wht i feel iz tht once we go along i.e CAT comez closr n closr ppl will b visitin the thrd more frequently thn we can arrange th same,more view on ths fellazz...

Gr8 work guys, this would be my default thread to read, really enlightening..

along with understanding the editorial, if we could have a regular discussion on it by posting our views on it (like for n against some particular point) would make us research the topic a li'l more and discuss it...

I agree with You.Discussion on various topics will help us.

Thanks for the grt link man. It was of grt help. I am sure even i can cull in some of the edit analyses.

I think we should start a thread for ET also if you say it wont be an appropriate idea to post the analyses here.

Anyways grt work...truly a laudable effort.

Crying out for water

Summary:

• There is a grave problem of water scarcity in Mexico City due to leakages from the supply chain.
• This is due to the straining infrastructure because of heavy exodus into the city.
• The privatization model has failed in the past due the political instability in the south American region in general.
• The companies instead insist on a public-private model with short term developmental goals.
• The government officials retaliate the accusation by stating that the companies engage in arm twisting tactics and that an important commodity like water cannot be fully given in private hands.

Difficult words:

• Burgeoning: burgeon v. literary grow rapidly; flourish. [Latin burra wool]
• Metropolis: n. chief city, capital. [Greek meter mother, polis city]
• Lament: —n. express or feel grief for or about
• Volatile: adj. (of trading conditions etc.) unstable
• At the crossroads: at the critical point.
