The word Chase catapults you to Master of the Chase ---- JAMES Not the James Hadley Chase who ’Hardly Chases’ but the ’Bonding’ James who introduces himself as ‘’MY NAME IS BOND -- JAMES BOND’’ However --- I will not be covering him in my story. My story is not even about a robbery followed by a chase staged in the bank — CHASE BANK. The chasing going back to 1955 when Chase National Bank and The Manhattan Company merged to create The Chase Manhattan Bank followed in 2000 to the chased acquisition of JPMorgan and co to form JPMorgan Chase Bank, shortening the branded name to CHASE.

  DIARY ‘’PRAHLAD HAS SHOT THE PRESIDENT’’ The buzz had started spreading. It initially started in London and was slowly spreading across the www networks -- implying the Whole World WhatsApp groups more than The World Wide Web.

Viru Sahastrabudhhe: Obviously its Neil Armstrong, we all know it..but who was the second man? Don’t waste ur time, its not important! Nobody remembers the man who ever came second! He’s right.
