Deluge of surprises or a surprise of deluge?

CNBC TV 18,I am just suckor for it. As an investor I was astounded on watching today's breaking news. My interest on this channel has skyrocketed since I became a part of Indian share market (almost 4 months back).Satyam story is still inconceivable to me.I can't fathom out how India's 4th largest IT company with 55000 workforce can have an operated margin of just 3percent.It is beyond my imagination how a company can modify its balancesheet to such an extent putting SEBI and Audit firms into oblivion.
What comes as more surprise to me is Ramalinga Raju's confession about this scandal .Normally,CEO's and chairman hide that until there is final outburst This person made an every last attempt to rescue its company from falling into a ditch.Attempt to buy MAYTAS a month ago proved abortive.It actually eroded the interest of share holders leading to collapse of a share value from almost 230 to 150. Then today's confession resulting an absolute mayhem,derating to 40rs.Speculations are up that it may reach to natural zero.

Market was showing some postive signs for some days.Sensex Today sheded 750 points on the pretext of this news .Todays incident actually have posed questions in spate.

why regard SEBI as a watch dog if it doesnt have an iota of information of a ground situation of a company?
what will happen to 55000 workforce of an already battered IT industry ?
Is there a same situation with Top Indian IT leaders too?
share holder's faith,who is gonna pay ??
Surely this story will cast its shadow on FII' S inclination towards indian market more importantly on auditing firm's credibility.I think this one is biggest after Harshad Mehta's one.

It is time to pause and reflect.

Monday morning blues.

It is early,the morning is foggy
It is hard even to locate a doggy
I am on my way to NH-eight
something that causes to look at my fate.

The breeze is kool when it cuts the body
Making me realize the atmosphere is shoddy
Would have preffered to have a little warm
Obviating the need to wear gloves on palm.

Now is the beginning of an office life
Believe or not is a full of strife
here comes the list of target to reach
they will kill you if dare to breach

"come on u dodo! u deserve a blow
potential is higher,there it should flow "
then I realize the talks relate current
figuring out why the result is aberrant.

Never you do a solution in such a haste
Making the monday nearly a waste
this is the only essence of the story
otherwise you may end up loosing ur glory

Fridays are good,mondays are sad
whatever may be the case,1 must glad
this time it made me to work half an hour or so
as if am still a tyro or finally a pro???????????.

office ! office ! office!

6 months completed today.Coudn't even realize how fast is life moving.dadda,I miss u a hell lot.
time to hit the bed.

when the thoughts do not kindle

I just feel like writing something though i am stilll indecisive about my post.Sometimes it gives a feeling of writing essay,letters or nibandh(hindi) during School days. Writing essay during school time was the easiest way of enhancing score.There are some pet lines which we generally write irrespective of the situation.I would refer these lines as a ' contingency 'lines .If nothing strikes ,go for them,they may not help u in fetching special marks but they surely help u in filling pages which gives a certain psychological edge which again is source of new thoughts.Writing involves a simple funda.If u write ,then u feel,once u start feeling then u write.It is certainly a vicious circle whose initiater and terminator is hard to find.
Imagine a situation in which one needs to write a letter to editor complaining about manholes on the road or one is miffed up with poor service of' safai karamchari ' in the locality or when one is unhapppy with poor water service situation .
In nutshell one needs to write a complaint letter in an English exam to fetch some 5.5 marks out of 10 which would help in compensating the damages caused in sentence correction,error finding,slashes etc.
Approach is simple and straight.Some of contingency lines may be
1)"through ur esteeeeeeeeeeeeeemed news paper I would like to draw ur kiiiiiiiiiind attention towards "complaining topic"
2)"situation will aggravate if something is not done in that regard"
3) "This has made the life of residents very troublesome."
4)"otherwise residents of colony have to pay for it"
5) "last week some dignified personality ( say municipal commissioner )paid visit still the issue was overlooked"
6)"I request u to kindly interfere in this subject,I would be highly obliged"
I think, 6 lines are sufficient to bang the bell of editor of a newspaper and to fetch some 4 marks in this letter,rest of 1.5 can be attained by maintaining sychronism between the lines without getting into much intricacy.
My purpose is also complete too as i have finallly sufficed myself by writing something.

"I know its 17/5, but still ,we need not to buckle"

This is what kapil dev must have said to his companion on other crease.Today is 25th anniversary of india 's world cup Win.This win was special for indians as it was not simply expected.wordcup win over west indies in final has a lucid mystery behind it.This win was achieved because we had won semis,we won semis because of single handed effortof indian captian kapil dev.
I didn'nt know much about that win as i was not born!,morever bbc strike refrained all television spectator from watching on television.But zee news really played a nice role in reminiscing the past.It showed a 1 hour program reflecting how things turned around at that time.world cup semis win against zimbabwe was a miracle .kapil scored 175 single handedly when india was struggling to recover.Really 17/5 is a pathetic situation when half of team is in pavallion and half of team(bowlers mainly) is timid.

Cricket is a game of chance,But i think it was determination which superseded that factor.Kapil was altogether a different captain.First of all ,he decided to take batting (*not consulting his team)on a green turf with conspicous moisture in it.Morever wind was blowing at nice speed which surely hepls in swinging a ball.It requires great audacity to take such decisions.Secondly his top high profile batsmen gavaskar didn't even know whether he was playing in final 11.It was strange,as he didn'nt have enough time to mentally prepare himself for opening.After 2 strange decision was a mayhem ,with india 17/5 and expectations lying on kapil dev.
kapil was belligerent and determined.He outplayed in every section and kept on pummelling the ball in every sector.He hit 16 fours and 6 sixes and remained not out on 175 *off138balls). India Scored 266 in 60 overs.Such innings are dream innings which every cricketer would love to play.He also holds a record partnership of 106 for the ninth wicket with kirmani in that match.
Superb innings from indian maestro.

Effusion

It is silence and everybody is asleep
It is certain now that thoughts would creep
I am dying hard to reach out conclusion
but its difficult as thoughts are in fusion

There is a road which sets into bisection
Both of them look equally good in action
'where to go' is my only delusion
is anybody here to clear my illusion

'work to perfection ' is a beauty
'every one should follow it' is a duty
these thoughts make me feel happy
as if i am resting on a gal's lappy

come on man! its enough levity
why don't u just get into brevity
time and tide wait for none
and u are still into much of fun

challenges are many,one should be wary
If u don't take it seriously,it will make u scary
that is wat makes me fluster
how will this dilemma finally rupture

This has made me to work 1 hour or so
Does that simply indicate 'should I go'
It is time ,better you sleep
otherwise mom is here to make u bleak

Foxed!!!

My friend Mohit who acompanies me daily during our evening walk session asked me a very simple question."why do birds dont feel shock when they sit on electrical lines."
It was simple because i have faced this question several times in life and never bothered to find its answer.I clearly remember this question used tobe asked in our phyiccs viva practical in class 12?
our reply used to be amusing.My friend had amazed me during practical when he had replied"they do feel the shocks,i have seen several birds lying dead under the electrical lines"
This reply was innocent and childish one too.My reply used to be"circuit,circuit is not complete sir,how wud current flow then,how would they feel shock then".It was an intelligent asshole's reply as i coudn't substanstiate that how is the circuit incomplete when line is connected between the two legs.Seriously ,now I feel It was a stupid reply being an electrical engineer and intellegent one being the class 12th tyro too.I now feel I used to think conceptually even if I was logically incorrect. It is unfortunate that I still cant answer this bloody question.Though I still can guess :may be their feets are insulated....watever..
This time i will find it out.
Googling this questions actually has made me to laugh a great deal.There are many electrical engineers overhere trying to show their engineering skillls.
"Why do birds sitting on electric wires do not get electrocuted?" is the question which was posted on yahoo Answers about an year ago.
reply 1)

reply 1) somflavi..gives me immense satisfaction as there are persons like me who considers others reply as the stupid one.I think he just needs to hang over the lines and estimate how less is the potential diference beteen the the points of contact.I wonder whether he would be alive for sharing his readings!!!
reply 2)








reply2)Alan winan is the gr8 personality as he believes in giving replies not pertaining to questions.He reminds me of my friend goel,I am his great admirer.


reply 3)


helixbur.. has a great sense of electrical engineering.He has Great knowledge of corona or "carona,"according to him.I wish he was rollno 04ees09 ,I would have loved to give viva with 2 goels sitting adjacent to me.

reply 4)











relpy 4) science_... didnt astound me at all.I love person who just mingles philosophy and spirituality with science.It is a real fun.Proff ibraheem is one of them,at least one tends to learn much about the god during teaching than one normally does.

Discussing such replies has assured me that I am not stupid one when it comes to replying questions.I know ,it is really really crass to discuss other's reply over here.But i cant help it yaar,I am simply "vellah" these days and this post would definately help me remember "gone are those days"when I would be the busiest one.

A GROSS MISCONCEPTION

I went thru my previous post which made me to wonder as if I am a strong supporter of UPA Govtwhich is sincerely not the case.I can never publically support any poltical party.If NDA was in ruling party, my post surely would have remained the same.
One more thing.I just love to hate CPI even If it is publically.

what this fuss is all about

so finally, the happening of inevitable comes into existence.petroleum related products prises have been hiked due to global alterations in crude oil price..I remember when UPA came into power, oil was around 30-35 dollars per barrel and it was expected to reach around 190 dollars per barrel by 2020 according to previous year extrapolations.But things gathered pace much earlier than expected.It touched around 135 within a year.It is really apoint of concern for growing economy like us.we have already been hit hard by inflation,it is 8.26% as of now.,will surely shoot up after this oil price rise.
Now a pertinent question arises "who is responsible for that and to wat extent???"
I think, we indians have the tendency to react sharply when something unfavourable happens.
Thanks to the media too which adds fuel to that news which it simply cant digest.Media being the fourth pillar ofdemocracy is expected to adhere to its obligations.Off course,presentation of true picture is wat is expected of it,it does that quite effectively too,but sometimes i guess one has to compromise with their principle and belief for the benefit of others.Projecting this as" hard core issue" not only deteriorate faith in govt,but also has long lasting repercussions.
I know,price rise of basic commodity is really a serious issue which cant be avoided in any sort of way.But faith and solidarity is something which is expected of us being the citizen of a country.Things have changed rapidly during last 2 months,but UPA certainly is not 'dumbass Govt' which is not trying to curb inflation,after all elections are to be held next year.Proper time should be given to the govt before reaching out at conclusions.They really have taken steps in that regards ,results of which is expected to be seen in atleast 3 months.Simmering this issue again and again will not only aggravate the situation but also give rise to new speculations which will have aftermaths on share market(vacillating around 1550),growth projection etc.
Really hike in 50 rs per cylinder is a gr8 burden on a common man.But as everybody knows OMC are bearing heavy loss these days,a cylinder of around 780rs is given in 395rs to a common man,surely that cant be streched for too long!.
Cutting down expenses of foreign,domestic travel (though,may be ostentatious) by politicians is just like a drop in the ocean, but still initatiave has been taken and one must respect that.Being the citizen we should adopt 'wait and watch' stategy.hehe..After all,this is wat we can do till 2009(election year) :).

"grishm avkash grahakarya."

This phrase used to rock about 10 years back. It is reffered as 'holidays homework of summer vacation'. My cousin studying in 8TH standard saddled me with responsibility of completing some part of it.Situation has really changed now.With India shining and getting hightech ,holiday homework is too getting hightech.These guys are made to use computer /internet for completing H.W.They are required to make power point presentation on topics like global warming,waterborn diseases,communicable diseases,revolt of 1857,etc.That is not the end,They are supposed to conduct surveys sotta abt diseases,population etc .one new thing i learnt today,they are taught vedic mathematics at this level.I thing it is truely a transformation of root education which is really good for them.practical implemenation of work is given credences rather than theorical spects. During our time,we were supposed to make notes and cut pictures in scrapbook.One thing i too remember we used to be given' cursive writing and sulekh' and teachers expected us to do 1 curive writing a day during vacation.But Iwas so much obedient that i used to complete that in first 2 days of vacation.I know,thats why i really have abysmal handwriting .My holiday homework stuff never lasted for not more than 5-6 days.After that ,cricket was the only game we were crzy for.Good thing abt summervacations is that one gets ample of time to play and have fun.really 2 months interval is enough for aperson to harness his/her talent.

MOOD

Mood is something which decides format of a day.Mood is of different colours and it keeps on changing as the day progresses.Mood may be cheerful and optimistic when one goes for an interview.It may be pensive and poignant when something doesnt go in one's way.It may be estatic and exuberant when things take course especially for u.It is pleasing and romantic while downpour.It may be lethargic and languid when sleep is not given its due time.But it is never stagnant .It keeps on changing according to situation.It is highly influenced by external factor apart from ones doing.
Best part of it,it is transformable.It can be transfrmed from one state to other.Like ,if one is feeling bad, listening songs surely pleases the mind.If one is irated and furious then a short stroll can really help in relaxing more.if ,one is feeling isolation,talking to a friend may help in alleviating grievances. even just a a movie of 2 hrs can create wonders.!
But,i dont how to deal with such situation when one is confused!

...and its goal.

Juxtaposing to cricket,Foot ball is gruelling.If cricket is a funnygame then Football should be the funniest.Actually my universe of discourse ranges in some limited games,so can comment on such games only..I once heard Karan johar saying on his show' koffee with karan 'that cricket is very funny game which actually invoves 11 person chasing a singleball.Iplayed Football inthe morning today after a very long gap and realized that Football actually involves 22 persons chasinga single ball .So according to his definition it should be the funniest.Really,Football as a game requires lot of stamina .It is very tiresome and sometimes seems Foolish to try to get a control over a ball which has the tendancy to skip towards opposition.When we get in the depth of game we may realize that any particular player(lets say striker) gets the ball for not more than max 5 min.These are those '5 minutes 'which any person would love to utilize to show his dexterity.So a person tries hard and run for full 90 min in order to get those 5 minutes utilized for creating a mayhem for the opposition.
Thats why a Fat footballer is rarely found in Field as compared to a Fatcricketer.I just found myself breathless in first 5 minutes of the gaaaaaaame!It was highly tiring and frustrating when u run hard to fetch a ball and that ball simply skips to the person who is not running that faster but much cleverer.I know ,Football playing is simply a skill like other games which requires practice .I have got ample of time to learn that skill,will surely try to dominate the opposition tomorrow,if not by stamina then by enthu.
