Can we believe in the statistics reported by Outlook?

I refer to the July 24, 2010 edition of Outlook Business.While travelling back home from a holiday, out of a set of choices, I chose to pick up Outlook Business.After reading the cover story and some other articles, I went to the CORPORATE section on page no. 86. I glanced through the statistics and was impressed with the kind of info provided. But, the same was short living. I was surprised to see that SBI Mcap is mentioned as 7245.5 Crs and that of Indian Bank as 146,156.3 Crs. I thought that there could be printing error in one place, but, same was the State of Axis Bank. How can a reputed brand like Outlook be so negligent on statistics?Then, I went through BSE 500: Top 10 losers and was surprised to see Sterlite listed here with 75.4% loss in 15days. Infact, there was split and bonus issue, taking the price to 1/4 and not loss of 75%, as reported. Same seems to be with Tata Tea and Orbit Corporation.Can we believe in the statistics reported by Outlook?

Five Point Someone to 3 idiots - Deserves more Credit?

By now, there will hardly be any Indian who has not watched the movie "3 idiots". I am one among the larger Indians. After the controversy broke on the "Story Credit", I was curious to know the fact myself and bought the book, "five point someone", by Chetan Bhagat. If i remember correctly, at the end of the movie, along with the list of people in the movie, which anyone hardly watches, a line appears "Based on the book five point someone by Chetan Bhagat". I personally believe that the "heart and soul" of story (of the movie) was taken from the book and hence deserves more credit than given. If the same line appeared at the beginning, things would have been different. Its my take.
