Promoted to Associate Manager

Dear Folks,

Hmmmm...... Hello to all and hope all who visit my blog are good....

What's happening nowadays? The markets are doing good... still i couldn't make much of the rise.. ofcourse i am risk averse citizen of India, so can't help wid it.. what else?... Was caught up in the rain doing nothing for my birthday which passed of on June 30.. turned one more year old..Thanks to all the friends who remembered my b'day and did call me or msg me or sms me or orkut me.. I love you all for the love and affection.. will definitely remember ur birthday's and wish you for sure...and what else??

I GOT PROMOTED TO ASSOCIATE MANAGER..... Surprise surprise.. made the promotion in one year only... got a very good rating for the work done..so i am an associate now from a deputy earlier..

Was visiting many places this quarter... not for pleasure though but pure business... was visiting the power plants that our company was constructing ... Bhuj in Gujarat, Sirohi in Rajasthan, Vijayawada in Andhra, and many more... looks like i will become a power projects person in a year or two more time frame...

Whatelse is happening?? No news from any of my friends on their jobs or anything.. Heard that all married people... sathish, vijay krishna, harshil.. all are happy... somehow that seems very strange so.. but still they are good people so will take their word for granted..

Nothing more to write now.. will make it a habit to write more and more in short intervals... Signing off wid a pic of me...

After a long time.....

Dear folks,

It's been a long long time since i have put in a post... A combination of lethargy, dis-interest and other such things have prompted me to abstain from putting put some posts. But alas what can i do... i need to tell the world what i feel about...

Lot many things have been happening on my front.. work is going well.. little bad health keeping me at bay from showing my skills on many fronts.. now that i have started taking interest in my nemisis.. the finance section. But time has come for me to face my worst fears and i have started reading up anything on finance that i can lay my hands on..

Ofcourse first impression is always the best impression and my first entry into the world of mutual funds was marked with skepticism, cautiousness and at the same time the need to make use of my new found mutual fund knowledge... Finally embarked on that concept and made some money in the first cut.. but alas the market lures you at first and then once it knows that it has got a gambler in sight, it starts ditching.... I bet heavily on this budget to do better and the finance minister did disappoint me... In the sense that if i was an "am admi" i might benefit from what he said but i am a corporate donkey doing tons of work and less of pay so it hit me harder than ever and currently me in an irrepairable loss to my hard earned income..

The sensex tanked 1700 points since the day i made my second set of investment (it was a 6 figure investment close to being 7 figure investment) i have made terrible losses, trying to understand where i failed. Anyway leaving that aside... everything seems ok for now.. i have been getting good reviews for the work that i have been doing (on the work work front... no my other financial work front, though i give some good recommendations and tips on the stocks)

My appraisal is not due for another couple of months.. so have enough time to do well and get that bloody promotion that i have been weeping about and the lack of a proper compensation which is the case with most of the engineering based companies...

My parents usual push of " have to put on weight?" or " have to look good for the girl whom we will see" are all on as usual... nothing much has changed i am still the same.. will post some better pictures soon...

what else?... hmmm...nothing seems to come to my mind rite now... will write something interesting soon... probably on the ground breaking work that i am doing or my thoughts on anything that might interest you folks..

Till then do keep in touch...
