Trading Trolls

S peculation is Infectious. Speculation is another name for Anticipation that entices people to put there or there forefathers money at stake in commodity and money markets. Not just there, rather everywhere. My emphasis today is strongly on the financial markets as countless people tend to make fortunes or loose them in minutes and seconds. That's how volatile the markets are now. My story of speculation started in mid July-mid August 2011 in Austria, Europe. I was watching Bloomberg T.V, when Greece was declaring it's insolvency asking for a bail out package. I did not really understand what it meant, all i knew was that Greece was BROKE.  Maybe, the accent of the Host had me glued to the show. I showed somewhat interest in the content being delivered by him and one thing i understood, was the analogy by which Gold and Crude worked in Worldwide Markets.Gold and Crude shared an inverse relationship like foes who would kill each other if they met. If one rose, ...

Quality Education Versus Degree Affiliation

I've often heard people putting an end to conversations by saying, "And the rest is History". But I lately realise that History my friends, is never History. History lives Forever. History is Eternal. It's the History that haunts. Earlier in Ancient times, lets say maybe in the medieval India, There were Gurukul teaching the students arts and practices of Warfare, of Business, Of Occult Sciences and everything else to sum it up. But the day they finished there due course of education, they did not get a handwritten note from the Gurukul Authority stating their appraisal and clearance on the candidate's performance. There was no "Degree" as i must say to state that these new young chickens were ready to lay some golden eggs leading India to a Golden future. Mere word of the "Aacharya", the teacher was the appraisal, The letter of appreciation, The Letter of Good Faith and The Letter of Confidence stating that the candidate was good...

Religion Versus Spirituality

The world today is really fast. The world today is really monetary, really fiscal. A mere road side barber talks of money with as much passion as that of a Wall Street Scout. What differentiates these two guys is the scale at which they operate, the volumes at which they operate and the way they operate. In fact, if I dare say; the barber in comparison to Wall Street Scout would not even exist. But the passion, his sheer passion drags him to competition. But this is everywhere; in nook n corner of every  neighborhood   every city, every town and every country. We walk down the streets and see advertisements, hoardings of various businesses, which sounds perfect to me and should to many alike me. What comes like a needle in the eye is  Commercialising  Religion. I see Business houses advertising themselves at religious places, exhibiting there charity contributions, putting up sale hoardings just at the doorstep of a Shrine, a Mosque, a Temple, a ...

Ajj Mere Yaar Di Shaadi Hai

The Thought Hi everyone. It's been long you guys saw something new on the blog. This write up is dedicated to my friend Puneet and his wife Guramrit who got married in Ludhiana, Punjab on 21st July 2013. I was in my hotel room up at 5:30 in the morning. I wanted to gift this couple something else that would talk more than Functionality, Materialism and Formalities. Something they would cherish, something they would remember all through there lives. Our friendship goes back to school days from class 12th and spot today it's been TEN good years that he bares with me and i live it up with him. I sincerely hope, this gift of mine makes you happy, brings a wide smile on the faces of Puneet and Guramrit.  Just a small attempt though. Enjoy Everyone!! 

A Moment At STARBUCKS

THE THOUGHT Hi everyone!! Yesterday i was having a coffee at this rich man's coffee house, Starbucks, GK M block(if you look from a common man's eye). There were two girls sitting beside me, maybe in there initial teens and i am sorry for what i did but i over heard them. Here is the conversation Girl1: I really don't know what to do!! Girl2: There's nothing to think. He's a very good guy. tujhe pata hai, once he eyes someone else, he's not coming back for you. Even if you want it. Girl1: But Yaar!! Girl2: Kya but but. Tu paagal hai kya. Just say yes to him!! don't you see, how much he cares for you!! So, the thought that struck my mind was maybe these coffee houses serve as a station for building or maybe damaging relationships. All the multinationals spend big amounts on recruiting Relationship Managers, and here we have countless of them advising each other on there relationships. Guess what!! these kids are at that age ...

American T.V Shows VS Indian Soap Operas

Remember, when you as a child had an itch in your hand as soon as you got the T.V remote. Impatiently, you would surf channels and would end up seeing a cartoon dubbed in Hindi (half of them were Asian). Where you would be sticking to Cartoon Network from 3 to 5 pm, to watch your cartoons from Centurions to Swat Cats to Power Rangers. That two hour session would elate your spirits, getting you in action mode. Again you would book the sofa seat of T.V for Talespin and Ducktails. Pretty sure you have it afresh in your mind. Growing up through the ladder of life, a lot of us were mad about the very famous Small Wonder which played on Star World, where in that robot girl(Vicki) was the perfect kid in the family. I envied her, yes I did. That was fun. Where as, what captured Indian kids on majority was this new found superhero running every Sunday morning on DD National called, “SHAKTIMAAN” who would turn himself round and again flying the skies, in the end leaving us with ...
