What is forex??

What is Forex?? Forex is an interbank market that was created in 1971 when international trade transitioned from fixed to floating exchange rates. Since then the rates of currencies relative to each other are determined by the most obvious means which is the exchange at a mutually agreed rate. This market surpasses the others in its volume. For example, the daily turnover of world securities market is estimated at $300 billion, while Forex approaches 1 to 3 TRILLION US dollars in the same amount of time. However, Forex is not a market in a traditional sense. It doesn't have a fixed location of the trading floor as, for example, futures market does. The trading is done over the telephone and at the computer terminals in hundreds of banks around the world simultaneously. Futures and securities markets have one more significant feature distinguishing them from Forex, and at the same time restricting them. The trading is suspended at the end of each day and resumed only next morning. Thus, should certain significant developments occur in the USA, the opening of Russian market next morning could quite surprise you, if you're trading there. Forex is open 24 hours a day, and the currency exchange operations are maintained throught working days of the week. Almost every time zone (London, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney) has dealers willing to quote currencies.

Behind the Scenes Part 1

Koffee with karan behind the scenes Part 2

Koffee with Karan behind the scens Part 3

This week saw the frank, forthright and fabulous actress Kareena Kapoor and Bollywood's favourite chocolate boy hero who makes her world go round... Shahid Kapur, come together for the first time. Also, joining the sweet couple was the glamorous and gorgeous actress, Karisma Kapoor.

Possibly the most irreverent guest on the show in the last season, Kareena promised to be even better this time round. From clarifying her problems with Shah Rukh, the Chopras and the Bachchans, she confesses on the show that she is the one who chased Shahid for two months! Kareena also admits that she is a hyper-hysterical girl friend and says, "Shahid is a very good looking guy and his smile can charm a lot of women… so I do get a little nervous."

Shahid talks about the initial insecurities in their relationship, the positive influence they have had on each other from Kareena becoming a vegetarian to Shahid becoming more chilled out and relaxed. That's not all, Karan also tests the couple's compatibility quotient by quizzing them individually on how much they know about each other.

But the real show stealer was the rapid fire round where Karan bombarded a volley of questions to Shahid & Kareena. Who is the better dancer - Hrithik or Shahid? Shah Rukh, Hrithik or Aamir, the superstar Kareena loves? The one woman Shahid would cheat on Kareena for? Kareena in Chameli or Kareena in Omkara? If this was not enough, Karisma Kapoor is called on to decide the winner of the rapid fire round!

Here are some excerpts from the interview.

Karan: Who are really your friends Bebo?
Kareena: laughs … Oh god!!
Karan: Because the whole story goes that Kareena only befriends people who are not a threat to her …
Kareena: Oh my god! What is this .. Ahh ….. I don't think so .. But the only actress I think I am closest to is Amrita Arora … She is my only genuine best friend whose an actress.
Karan: You also took on a few people …there was always lot of talk about problems with Shah Rukh, with the Chopras, with the Bachchans, and of course we sorted out our little thing on this very sofa. But when you look back do you think all those news articles are justified and today is it all sorted ?
Kareena: I feel that firstly there was no problem with Shah Rukh and with the Chopras .. with Yash uncle .. I don't think there was any issue .. it's just that probably they felt that I wasn't suited for the kind of roles that were made .. and now in fact I will be working with them.
Karan: Yes, you have signed a Yashraj film …
Kareena: Yes ..its great … I have always respected Yash uncle and I think Adi is one of the finest film makers we have and I don't know with Shah Rukh and me it's been great .. whenever we meet he has been so very warm ..I love him .. I think we are all friends now … and as far as the Bachchan family goes, I really don't know what the issue is, at least from my end there is no issue because I think I am bearing the brunt of something that I never really did

Karan: Three years Shahid, with Kareena. How would you best define your relationship?
Shahid: It goes beyond words. She is the centre of my life ... I can't think of a day without her. I am very thankful to God for having her in my life … I think I am very lucky.
Karan: Is she the hyper hysterical girlfriend. Is she the where you are, what you are doing kind of girl friend?
Shahid: She has calmed a lot in the last three years ... but I think every woman has these insecurities and I think it takes the two people to understand and deal with each others' areas of ups and downs .. but I think .. yes I am sure she has .. and so do I have these phases of insecurities which we all do .. I think she has come to trust me a lot ..it takes time for things to settle down.

Karan: You take up for Shahid a lot ... is that true?
Karisma: Yes I do.
Karan: In what way .. what does he do that he needs taking up for?
Karisma: Well, I mean generally … when they are fighting with each other .
I am always caught in the middle of it and if I really feel that Shahid is right, then I really fire Bebo.
