exciting lah!

the indian stock markets have been really exciting (though they have always been so in the past 2-3 years) towards the end of last week and most importantly the first two days of this week. almost 1000 points fell in 3/4 trading sessions causing panic all around. what was more scary were the intraday falls of 500 to 600 points (eeeks!)on the BSE. however, as i (and a millions of others) expected (prayed infact!) the markets bounced back pretty smartly in the next few days and is on its recovery path. no doubt, millions(?!) of investors money would have eroded in the 3/4 days but i quickly managed to do some value buying at the lower levels and hopeful of handsome short term gains...wish me good luck ;-)

Its been fun...so far!

Its almost a decade since my undergraduation and things have moved in all directions since then. 've made quite a few but very close friends during my undergraduation and postgraduation. Life was at its best during undergraduation with my dad doing the earning part and me balancing it ;-) Its been quite a transformation for each of my close friends from what we were to what we are now. We called ourselves the 'big8' though we are more in number now with the entry of the two malayalathan's and comedy!

The crew goes like this: arvi, lawry, palam, bhai, vijay, ram, arun's, comedy and myself. We have few other as well having made way into the big8, arun b, sowmith and comedy...hail big8!
