The World seemed to have gone off the top end already in the last few months, but the final quarter of 2016 is turning into be a nightmare of unprecedented proportions. Is it only going to get better from here, or are we going to continue to turn a blind eye till it actually is too late? Also, is the Indian government one of the few that knows what it's doing?, when investors amp up the volume, and Air India versus PIA!

We're seeking answers to the big questions today. Such as, What will re-monetization do for the economy? What constitutes a successful term for an Army Chief in Pakistan? What must Rahul Gandhi think when he watches old Youtube videos of Indira Gandhi? How does President Trump intend to make America 'great' again?

What does Prince William want his kids to grow up to be? Is Kim Kardashian really more important than Mallika Sherawat? Is Alia Bhatt a bigger star than SRK? If Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund aren't leading in Germany, then who is? How does Badminton work? All this and lots more in this Sports-Entertainment special!

BUSINESS ONLY: Elon Musk may not yet have a single product in 'production', but he seems to have envisioned the future of living, travelling, salvaging the human race, and other things, to such an extent that its starting to feel not only possible, but tangible too! What does he need, and should we take him more seriously? Also, the time of reckoning beckons for Reliance Jio, Buzzfeed needs more fuel for to reach optimum buzz, and Infosys dares to dream...

Whatever be the current status of the demonetization, and even if it's causing a lot of inconvenience, it is at least a forward thinking step, and if the opposition parties are so keen on it failing, then it can only be because they want large sections of the country to remain undeveloped and backward so that they can easily feed them lies and falsehoods. Also, Google gets so smart it's almost intelligent, a Pizza company raises a lot of money, and the revelation that Han Solo and Princess Leia were lovers in real life too!

396 - Post-truth

The Prime Minister's baffling decision to allow his 97 year old Mother to go to a bank to exchange money, far from making a demonetization related point, instead only makes one wonder whether or not Narendra Modi places any value on human life at all. And are all old people now expected to take a similar gamble with their health and go to the bank as well? Also, Whatsapp get video, though not yet group video streaming; Bihar gets money to blow on cheap materials and corruption, and everyone tries to do something with 'Artificial AI'!

The Government may have a few nerves today as the Supreme Court will hear PILs regarding Demonetization, but regardless of that outcome, an improvement in the cash situation after an extra day's prep is what everyone's looking for! Also, Abhishek Manu Singhvi's Rs. 5 crore Laptops, the media's introspection after the US election, and the utter destruction of the most feared Cricketing side in the world!

One thing the US election ought to have taught us is that as large and all-encompassing as they seem, both mass and social media are often woefully incapable of getting everyone's opinion, and the various politicians and parties should take this into account while gauging the mood of the nation after last week's 'Demonitization'. Also, Jayalalitha stirrs at a critical time, Tata Sons loses the plot versus Mistry, and India steel themselves for a tight contest versus the English!

Only halfway through it's term, the Modi government has completely revamped and modernized the country's tax regime, and battled corruption in a meaningful way! Could there be a bigger contrast with the UPA 2,  what with it's scams and policy paralysis? What's next though, the nation is excited to know! And also, everything (EVERYTHING) you need to know about yesterday's big announcement, especially if you have a lot of soon-to-be worthless cash on you

The Delhi government is rolling out the big guns and making hard choices in order to combat the heavy smog that has settled over the capital, but it really is about time that the central government and the larger economy took 'cleaning-up' more constructively. Also, D-day looms, a Mahagathbandhan's seeds are sown, and the once-mighty Aussies wilt again!
