| RBI doesn't touch rates to control inflation
For us the domestic policy considerations dominate the global factors at the moment," Reddy said.
The RBI has been concerned about the inflation, which is currently at a four-month high of 3.83% but still under its target rate of 5% until March 2008. While non-food credit has decelerated, growth in money supply and aggregate deposits of scheduled commercial banks continues to expand well above indicative projections.
''Inflation is broadly in line but not as comfortable that we lift our vigil on stability," Reddy said at the post-policy review media conference. He said while growth in 2008 had moderated to 8.5% and inflation rate below 5%, the apex bank aims at maintaining the same growth in 2009 and inflation to go towards 4.5%. .
Klang Valley Streets: Watch out for the man in black
Alas, I wish I had been there to taste it too.
Speaking with Malcolm, one quickly realises that though he is already a multiple award winner, he has a charming humility for one who has seen much success at such a young age. Of the profession he says: Initially it was quite a rough journey, but working hard and willingness to learn has brought me to where I am now.
And he states that without his superior and senior chefs support he would not have come this far. What advice then does he have for aspiring chefs?
Be passionate and sincere in your career, respect your co-workers/colleagues, stay true to yourself. Dont be fooled by those celebrity chefs you see on TV, it is not all glamour and there are a lot of sacrifices to be made, like spending less time with your loved ones.

Chewy, cool or creepy: Cookies, drinks can add to Halloween fun
Halloween is a great excuse to pick up some creepy cookie cutters and let the kids have fun decorating spooky kitties and ghastly ghosts. It's cheap, easy fun that can double as party food. While any cookie dough intended for use with cutters would work, gingerbread is ideal because it stays fresh (meaning the cookies can be baked well ahead of a party) and is tough enough to stand up to rough handling by children. .

MARGARET TRUMAN DANIEL: 1924-2008
She debuted as a singer in 1947 on a national radio program with the Detroit Symphony. Later, she toured the country with a live concert program of arias and light classics, and she began appearing regularly on radio and television. In 1949, she signed a recording contract with RCA-Victor Records. For seven years she had her own radio show, "Authors in the News." But in 1956, following her marriage to journalist Clifton Daniel, who became managing editor of the New York Times, she reduced her stage appearances to occasional summer stock performances. Mary Margaret Truman was born Feb. 17, 1924, in Independence and moved to Washington when her father, a Democrat, was elected to the Senate in 1934. For the next seven years, the family spent the first half of each year in Washington and the second half in Missouri.
