Joke - Stock Market

This is a good joke sent by my friend Madhu....

This is how stock markets works!!!

It was autumn, and the Red Indians on the remote reservation asked their New Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be.

Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.
But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea.
He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked "Is the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more Wood.

A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it Going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "It's definitely going to be a very cold winter. "
The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them tocollect every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely" , the man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever. " "How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Red Indians are collecting wood like Crazy."

TATA bought Jaguar and Land Rover...Now what??

At last the long time pending deal between Ford and TATA has passed through...but the million dollar question is 'not what??'. FORD bought these brands for $2.5 billion dollars and then invested $10 billion dollars in it which turned out to be a very bad business proposition. Although TATA bought it for $2.3 billion its still unclear why was TATA interested in this in the first place.
The only reason i can think of at this point is to get hands on experience knowing the foreign car market. This might also be a indication that TATA is eyeing to build world class cars to compete with car icons. If this is one of the factor then this is a big leap for an Indian company to take a challenge after it proved its caliber by making the world's cheapest car.

After Indians proved themselves in Information Technology, Nuclear power and Space sectors, its time to prove ourselves in Automobiles.
ALL THE BEST TATA MOTORS!!!!

U-19 Cricket Team won world cup......Shame on People

Wow...cricketing days are back. Seniors won 20-20 and now its the turn of juniors to prove themselves...awesome performance.

Now whats the deal with all the people, why don't we understand that juniors today are the probables for seniors tomorrow. I read in news that there were none on the roads to encourage the team and we know this victory means a lot to them. A little encouragement will have a very big impact and will act as motivation for the U-19 team going to this tournament next year. This will also motivate youngsters to train well for this sport.

No surprise sports are not encouraged in India, why will government endource the game when they see people are not excited about it. The math is simple, people show their support, channels will show their interest, which inturn will have a lot of publicity which ulimately will pull strings in government sectors.

Its high time Cricket is seen more than the sunday afternoon entertainment and space is lowered from the international level to local level.

Opening Statement

WOW I am excited, this is the first post for my blog. Well I am not a net freek but wanted to start something through which i can express myself and send out my thoughts. This seems to be the best mode to express my thoughts. I am starting this blog on a pilot mode, I have plans to expand this to a extent that will have enough content to transfer it to my own site with my own url. Initial plans are to have a Technology and Entertainment sections...a blend of serious and fun stuff.

Technology sections which will have info about Programming languages, i want to make this a stop point for people which have just started working on Java and related frameworks, programs for mid-level programmers and challenges for pros. Down the line i have plans to add sections for interview questions and tips to crack interviews. Well in all i am going to put in all the stuff which i have learn in these few years of experience i have.

Entertainment section will have jokes, trailers, movies, links to sites which interests me. I am not a great guy in terms of entertainment provider but can always try to put in all the shit at one place to have you guys enjoy it. Well down the line i will also be sticking in my movie reviews too (once i am satisfied that i have enough stuff in Technology section to pull people in).

Future Plans:
Well i am into stocks and trade marketing. I might also be doing some courses that will help me understand and analyze shares better, am also planning to be a part time, self employed analyst in future. This is the site which will have my first rambling about stocks. Of course i will be putting in only those stocks which interests me. I will be leaving it for users to pick it up.

Thats all for the day,
