Money down the tube

The Sensex is at a 3 yr low . The world markets are in turmoil and minute by minute as the ticker spills blood , my money is sinking into the Arabian sea . Not ordinary money , but dollops of cash - am a million and half rupees down as I go to press . Yet , everyday as I watch CNBC , I have a smile on my lips and some hope in hell .
It's the women on CNBC . Must say it is probably the best collection of faces , second only to some parts of Bollywood . One look at beautiful Tanvir Gill and your day has begun well . She is probably the face of CNBC . Eyes , Hair , Lips , Face , skin - she's a 10 . And as she explains the wiping off of zillions of marketcap everyday , she gets more and more appealing . No sorrow in her eyes , yet shes pathos personified . Who the heck cares about a couple of million here or there as long as she's there to explain it all off to a sub-prime or a p-note .
A close second is Sonia Shenoy , a freshly minted face - she's just gotten onto the newsroom . Anchoring a session called After the bell , she's one bombshell . Her hair falls seductively as she is quite stunningly attractive .
Mornings belong to Mitali Mukherjee . Mitali is lovely , bright , full of sunshine and very very beautiful . And human . Can't concentrate on the opening bell tips that she ends up giving as her beauty is quite distracting . The sort of woman you take home to mom . Very coy and very enduring .
Menaka Doshi is the fiesty afternoon anchor . Wonder what she would look like if she were tanned , for she has just about the right features to carry off any color on her skin .
Shireen Bhan , the executive editor is another sexy woman . She smiles most of the time and since she does not do a regular sit-down news reading show , one can enjoy her overall personality . She's good looking and carries herself well . Her Young Turks programme with many a successful businessmen is one of my favs . Very vivacious and garrulous , she surely has many an interesting entrepreneural tale . Rebecca , her US counterpart is another stunner . As she shouts out the Dow Jones spectacular falls , smiling all the time , you miss the irony of it all .
Anuradha Sen Gupta , Lata Venkatesh and Manisha Gupta are the real hard workers covering advertising , banking and commodities . Real women with solid knowledge and interacting with big-time CEOs and business leaders , they are made of sterner stuff .
And to add to honesty and innocence is Swati Khandelwal , one of the last of this batallion of the women of CNBC . A chripy , sweet little young thing with a slight tan covers patchy news and mid-caps with rigor .
May their tribe increase .
