Hi!

Hello friends,

I am writing something after a long time.

The world is seeing a lot of change everyday.

The financial crisis just seems to getting worse and affecting more lives. Iconic brands which stood for a generation are collapsing. Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, General Motors, Citi and you will get many more to add. Even Berkshire Hathaway reported a drop in book value since the current management took over more than 4 decades ago. And, the current management represents none other than "The Oracle of Omaha - Warren Buffett." The crisis has spared none.

Pakistan, our neighbor, has become a State which is unstable and a threat to the world. There was a dramatic coupe in Bangladesh. Preliminary reports have indicated the hands of Pakistan, yet again. There was an attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team.

Oh and how do we forget Slumdog Millionaire. The movie that has swept awards across the globe. It shows yet again that there exists a "Third World", which is the fancy of millions.

Well, would like to share a lot of views soon.

Bye,

Kunal

A week to remember or forget?

Hello friends,

The first week of the "Happy New Year" has been not so happy.

The terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir, fighting on for the last 8 days now. Remember 26/11 ?

The big, horrifying story of a well known, reputed, trusted name called "Satyam". ( I must admit that personally I never liked the company as an investor and I am sure it did not make any difference to anyone. But, a company with a promoter holding with what the promoters held in Satyam and also the corporate governance issues raised earlier as well never gave me the comfort that I feel while investing the little money that we have in equities. I never thought of Satyam, never ever, as I would and do for Wipro, TCS and Infosys. ) There will be a lot of questions asked and many wonderful solutions provided. What could have been done, needs to be done. But, what people would fail to understand is that there is no solution to satisfy greed. The loss, a whopping 80% loss in value in a single day and more to come.

The striking employees of the oil firms have almost brought all of us here at India to a halt. Till now, as I watch news channels beaming that in all the major cities almost 70-80% of fuel pumps are running dry. There are flight delays. We don't know if we would get our cooking gas delivered on time.

Bye,
Take care

Politics has no ideology.

Hi friends,

I have always believed that, politics and ideology don't go hand in hand. The politicians who claim to play politics of ideology are white collared liars.
With the recent terror attack on Mumbai, the political activity did intensify at the national level. First to go was the Honourable Home Minister of India, then the Deputy Chief Minister and State Home Minister and also the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. The dirty politicians had no shame in politicising the attack and the sacrifice of the people.
A very good example, I can cite to prove that politicians have no ideology is of Mr. Narayan Rane. An ex Shiv Sena and now also an ex Congress leader. He wasn't made the Chief Minister of Maharashtra after Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh resigned and hence became a rebel. Criticising the actions of his former colleagues in public. This proves that politics has no ideology. For years he subscribed to the ideology of Shiv Sena ( if they do have any ) and one fine day, he joins Congress and subscribes to their ideology ( if they do have any). I don't think that this matter even deserves any more comments.

Bye.
