One more Blog: Sigh......

Hey dudes & some dudettes,

What’s happening? It’s been long time since I have been in contact with the sane part of my life. Well…. When you work like me… there is only insanity in the making....

Hmm… me working in a new role in the corporate office… can’t tell much about what I do but it is in a prominent office in the corporate… well to refresh all I am still working in Thermax…

Well…. All seem surprised. I am one of the only few who haven’t shifted jobs or locations in the two years that have passed by after MBA. Who else is there… well there is pavan who has moved to Atlanta, hari prasanth, and all the tamil gangs are in operation in various part of the world… so the world is taken care of.

No wonder inflation is at an all time high in many parts of the world, the south Indian crowd must be downing tons and tons of rice with sambhar which would have been definitely loaded with tons of vegetables and the dal to start with…

And what else is going on? Nothing much happening at my end… the usual barrage of marriage invitations from friends are on, information on people getting new girl friends, single girls on the block yet no time to meet…

I am getting my usual gyaan of get married, its high time, how long will you be like this?, eww…. Tired of going through all that.. marriage is some thing that is in the hands of destiny, we are mere mortals in the hands of fate, providing entertainment to the puppet masters of this universe.

Bullshit… haha. me and all that philosophy and jargon… my my… I am turning into a stupid a** who has too much time to write such crap.. I am tired of everything right now... wish i could get some change in my life... maybe a girl.. maybe some thing new... maybe even a guy doesn't seem bad at this time... just kidding...
well... some one give me some bright idea yaar and win a free halls goli....right away... for two ideas you can get a unopen halls goli and a well licked one too... so hurry!! offer lasts till the goli lasts...
some one write a letter or some thing to me and make it a little interesting so that i can spend some time reading that and avoid work... was reading Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan's post" The compulsive confessor"... Hmm... the only reason to start with i went there was that she was a reddy girl... heard that she is 26 .. single.... writer...hmm... maybe i also can become a writer...may be then my luck can change..
lets hope for the best... let me check out more of her blog and be back... in the mean time some write a comment saying " how lucky am i"...

Take care... take away... and all that...

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...
