Recession ------ What is da fuss about ?

'Recession' was a word read nd heard onl in our eco books.

I mean only people of our generation would be comfortable enough to know what this menace is.
The other day a 40 year old guy walked up to me and enquired my qualifications, leaving me totally baffled of the unwarrented interview.

Recession - A consistent fall in the domestic product of an economy over a period of time, simply
saying a cut down in the production of goods and services.
P S - India has not been hit by recession, its just a slowdown !

Lets see how the entire cycle works,
It ultimately becomes a viscious cycle, and onl way to break it is to fill the people's pocket with money which is done by :
  1. Public Expenditure in order to increase the money supply and thus indicting demand form the consumers
  2. Monetary Measures include cutting down interest rates so as to make loans cheaper for consumers

INDIA's SCENARIO -

In India recession has not been observed, a slowdown has hit the Indian economy with simply the purchases being postponed by the buyers.

The year 2009 & 2009 is going to be tough but analysts have not predicted any contraction whatsoever in the gross domestic product.
