Liberty Featured Number "1,000,000,000"

Too bad, I went away from my supposed to be regular post "Featured Number" for too long. But I am back with pretty big number ( they say Back with the Bang isn't it?).

U know IPL ? who doesn't ? are IPL and Modi doing game a favour ? I think its too early to say but Cricket has never seen a salesman of caliber of Lalit Modi. The IPL commissioner had sought a net worth of $1 billion from parties who wanted to bid for the new IPL teams. Yes, a Billion with a Big B. I don't know how successful he will be but certainly he gave me a big number to Blog.

Liberty Featured Number "90"

Happy 90th Birthday to Mr. Nelson Mandela. 18th July is not just Mr. Mandela’s Day but a cause for celebration to all the freedom loving people in the world. 90 is the remarkable latest addition to his life which consists of some other remarkable numbers. Like 27 years in prison in Robben Island but more interesting number is his number of awards. Mandela has received more than one hundred awards over four decades, most notably the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993

So, 90 is this weeks Liberty Featured Number and it is dedicated to all you wonderful freedom loving persons wherever you are.

Liberty Featured Number "119"

119 is this week’s featured number.

According to the first 'World Map of Happiness', Nepal is the 119th happiest place in the world. The map is prepared by Adrian White, a British analytic social psychologist from University of Leicester and it rates 178 countries. The study considered three parameters Health, Wealth and Access to Education as major sources of happiness. Denmark comes out as the Happiest Place while Burundi came out as Unhappiest. Our neighbors China (82), SriLanka (93) and Bangladesh (104) are considered happier place than Nepal whereas India (125) and Pakistan (166) are less happy.

It is up to the readers to buy this or not but that’s what the report says.

Yes, 119th happiest nation on earth is Nepal and 119 is this week’s number. Hope we will rank higher as we reach political stability and move away from domestic violence but for today I will leave you with 119.

According to a report in 1997 by Bank of Boston economic department, if the companies founded by MIT graduates and faculty formed an independent nation, the revenues produced by the companies would make that nation the 24th largest economy in the world. MIT based companies roughly equal to a gross domestic product of $116 billion, which is a little less than the GDP of South Africa and more than the GDP of Thailand.
