...INTRODUCTION To start with Indian commercial banking was dominated by private ownership; profit and return to investments were its performance indicators. This was the scenario prior to 1969. Subsequently, commercial banks were nationalized adding to their list additional objectives of optimizing social benefit and geographical expansion to meet the growing needs of people. Globalization opened gates to increased competition by the entry of foreign banks. The changes that are taking world wide continued to give shocks to the banking system which resulted in an expansion of banking services both in range, volume and non-performing assets. Gauging efficiency of commercial banks is an important issue to bank management and the policy maker. Before this task is initiated a commercial bank has to be modeled appropriately to meet the needs and objectives of the analyst. To model a commercial bank two approaches followed mostly are the intermediation and production approaches. Under the intermediation approach financial institutions are viewed intermediate funds between depositors and borrowers (Piyu, Y., 1992). Banking business has to satisfy both the users and suppliers of bank funds. The intermediation approach is also known as the asset approach. In production approach a commercial bank’s resources produce services to the customers (Berg et.al, 1991; Berg et.al. 1993; Parson et.al, 1993; Shaffnit et.al, 1997).

...Brothers, contagion spread by many channels, including prime brokerage, OTC derivatives positions, money market mutual funds, tri-party repo and wholesale funding markets. The cost to society of such failures is tremendous. One example is the increased tax burden on tax payers as a result of governments bailing out those banks. Views including the lack of proper regulation and the engagement in complex finance activities such as CDS have been blamed for the TBTF phenomenon. There have been a number of proposed solutions put forward to tackle the problem of TBTF whether on the regulatory side such as the separation of commercial and investment banking or on the disclosure side such as Basel 1,2 and 3 accords. By critically reviewing the arguments and evidence presented in the literature, this essay determines how effectively the solution of separating investment and commercial banking proposed by regulators of financial markets will deal with the problems of institutions which are TBTF. The financial crisis of 2008 has revealed unprecedented trading losses and problems of insolvency at the TBTF banks. In 2008 Lehman Brothers reported losses of more than $5 billion. Its share price plunged by almost half. This has made more than 1500 people redundant and has significantly badly affected the S&P and Dow Jones indexes.

...manufacturers to reach their potential buyers and they use their time to grab the audience's attention. Shocking commercials filled with sex or alcohol that target practically any age group are widely used, even if the commercial makes almost no sense. What advertisers fail to see is the effect these ads have and potential influence on the viewing audience's behavior patterns and the deterioration of our society. Is this what we want when sitting down with family members, young or old?

Legislature should pay a bigger role in dictating what can be done in television commercials to limit the amount of sex, violence and alcohol use. Some sort of censure needs to take place to make it known that many of the behaviors seen in these ads are not acceptable behavior in a polite society. Advertising Of The Past From the beginning, television advertising has become increasingly important for manufacturers to gain the attention of possible consumers. Advertising in the 1950s and 1960s was mainly focused on children audiences without really trying to do so. There were so few programs on television that advertisers knew they had an audience, and therefore, no need for the attention grabbing commercials of today.
