theysay It is possible for the economy to pick up from here although the growth in the second quarter will be in negative territory, just as it was in the first quarter. I do think third and fourth quarters will be good and a large part of the decline in Q1 and Q2 will be compensated. I see the economy recovering to the levels seen in 2018-19, which anyway was not a good year with growth at 4.2 per cent and reminiscent of the pre-liberalisation era. For the entire current fiscal, the overall growth contraction will be at 6-7 per cent. Former RBI Governor C Rangarajan in a webinar with BusinessLine Editor Raghuvir Srinivasan

Grin and bear it

Look who's joined the ranks of psephologists who are predicting the outcome of the US elections.  A Siberian bear and a tiger have made their prediction on the winner of the US Election on November 3. Buyan, a male brown bear kept in a Siberian zoo, has predicted Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump.Buyan carefully examined two watermelons portraying the American presidential candidates laid out in his enclosure in the Royev Ruchey zoo in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk. After a moment's hesitation, the bear picked Biden and eagerly sank his teeth into the watermelon with his image. However, Bartek, an Amur tiger set his expectations on Trump immediately, while Khan, a white Bengal tiger, took some time playing around with the image of Biden before finally rolling the Trump's watermelon away. Royev Ruchey zoo Director, Andrei Gorban said, "During the previous Trump's elections race, despite the losing position in which the American president had been, all our animals guessed it right. Of course, Trump didn't call back and say thank you."
