Luck-The biggest Succuss Factor

Friends

For quite long, we have always seen and heard that the world is not fair. The most hardworking, honest and talented people keep struggling whereas some good for nothing chaps are found to be CEO's of very prestigious organizations.

Many reasons are discussed for this including right timing, right place at right timing, diplomacy, network, good connections, influential parents etc all contributing in establishing the above phenomenon.

Recently, we say the biggest case of pure luck to prove the title that only luck can override all fairness of the world.

The scenario is India Vs South Africa test series, test Match 1. Selectors know that Rahul and Yuvraj can't play to their replacements are Murli Vijay and Badrinath. As the match is happening in India, Srikanth decided to follow an Autralian model. As There was Duleep trophy final coming on same days and no dubt that Kartik would be warming benches in Nagpur, Selectors decided to give international dressing room exposure to a guy called Wridhimman Saha. Two days before match, there were concerms about Laxman so selectors called Rohit Shrama as back up. So the line up was decided as

Segwag, Gambhir, Murli Vijay, Sachin Tendulakar, Laxman/ Rohit, Badrinath, Dhoni and then 4 bowlers. Mithun and Saha are surely to sit out and the only suspense was the choice between Amit Mishra/ ojha.

Match moening and just about 15 minutes befre the toss, Rohit Sharma is injured ( or he never wanted to face Dteyn, god knows) and guess what, Mr Wridhimman saha made his test debut after playing first class cricket for only 2 years, scoring 1200 run at average of 35.

Though as expected, the bugger failed as a batsman and I realy do not know when he wud be again in 15 member team. But just Imagibe if he would have scored a 100. he would have been playing in 2nd test as a batsman and another 50 wouldhave made him a specialist batsman.

people like Badrinath, Rihit Sharma, Kaif, Pujara would hev waited for another 7 years to see Sehwag retiring before getting next chance.

So, my point is basically most of the top 0.001% people are same. Most of the IIM guys with 10 years of ex can be CEO's and can manage companies. The luck is some got that chance and some are still business analysts


Luck..What a Fuc_

Are we really living in Democracy

Dear All,

In the recent past, MNS ( Maharashtra Nav Nirman Sewa) or Shiv sena actions have created a doubt in my mind about our freedom. I am wonderign these days do we really live in a free country.

As per the constitution, one of the fundamental rights are ' Right to Speech'. But be it Sachin Tendulkar, Aamir Khan or recently Shahrukh Khan, all have been targeted because they expressed their views in open.

They beat North Indians who are in Mumbai, burn public property and I am yet to see Bal Thackerey or Rak Thackrey behind the bars seriously. Going for a 2hr or one day picnic is fine but what about serious punishment.

Rahul Gandhi took an aggressive approach by telling them it were North Indian who saved Mumbai during 26/11 attack. That is 100% true. Why Shiv Sena do not object every non Marathi person living in Mumbai. They target only poor as they are easy prey and create a furore in their vote bank.

I used to be hard core BJP/ Shiv Sena supporter and a 100% Hindu by heart. But if a Muslim PM comes and take my country to 20% GDP growth and allows to me to keep my religion, I would welcome all muslims to come and rule by country.

God Saved India from MNS/ Shiv Sena

Corruption in India: Was it really Dhiru Bhai

Hi,

I watched movie Guru at least 10 times to get inspiration on the journey of a petrol pump worker to build a company whose owners combined wealth is top in the world, all done in 30 years in total.

Now, sometime last week, I was in discussion with a friend on how you can't get any work done in India without offering bribes. Even, my book ' Be THE CEO of LIFE' highlights this mad chase of money in recent times which has led people to take any decisions how unethical, immoral it might be. Everybody needs that extra money to afford a foreign holiday which 30 years back was a prerogative of elite class, now I think rightly so. As these things like Fancy Cars, Big Houses and Foreign holidays have come to few people belonging to masses, entire middle class is vying for it. It you can't get it from fair means, corruption, bribes, cheating and fraud are a way forward.


So, coming back in a scene in movie, the journalist describes Dhiru Bhai as someone who should be locked in a room and key thrown away. He categorically mentions how Guru is spreading corruption in India.

I wonder is that is where corruption started in India. Police, Judiciary, legislature everyone was bought over by Guru for business gains. laws were drafted keeping Guru's interest in mind and all.

This is what I have heard but last generation people can throw more light into this issue.

Gender Equality--Beyond a Point

Hi,

Since my childhood, I was made to believe that men are superior to women. This was essentially because of family background coupled with the schooling, both very ordinary

Then, by god bless, I studies in top colleges, Delhi College of Engineering and IIM Bangalore for my BTech and MBA which gave me a different learning. This education was supported by working in US based Fortune 20 companies like Coca Cola and American Express and I completely changed a man who would preach gender equality at any given moment.

I an happily doing that for about 8 years but recently, I have started to figure out that some Gender specific qualities do exist and it is better for humanity in general if we do not try to override them.

On one side, the work of child bearing is given to woman ( and it takes full 9 months, no scientific developments have succeeded in improving efficiencies here :) so they are also given far more patience and emotions than man. They are blessed to wear thousand kind of shades in Sarees, Salwars, Jeans, Long Skirts, Short skirts, Trousers etc etc making shopping necessary for them. To go with those thousand dresses, they need jewelery, shoes, nail polishes and lip sticks. To buy all those stuff, they need time so woman take time to dress up..Totally fair

Men on other hand have 8-10 or at max 20 options. In office, they can wear only trousers with very few shade and pattern options. They do not need to buy jewellary, costmetics etc also

So essentially by nature, I observed Men are asked to earn while Woman are destines to spend that money..Right

So, woman are generally mis fit in working/ corporate environment till men continue to be away from Child Birth, Shopping, Dressing and monthly cycles.

So it is not about glass ceiling for woman. I think the point is they have been destines to involve themselves in more fun so why to bother for late night meetings, 3 hrs travel one way to office or economic class travel 15 days/month.

Like Men help in Kitchen some times or do dishes, wash or press clothes, woman are also best till they provide support to Men at work.

Why do they need to be Vice oresidents???

Someone, please give me some answers

Telengana--What is the issue

Telengana creation has created a huge national debate?? is it ??

After reading and hearing in all channels, I decided to look into this matter also a little deeply to understand the perspective of various stakeholders

First of all, I should congratulate central Congress leadership to take this step..Why..Because after analyzing from every corner, I was not able to find any advantage to them but only lot of disadvantages. So I , though not at all Congress supporter looks at this as a pure ' Fulfillment of promise' in the best interest of people of Telengana,.

Why disadvantage is proven by why Mayawati is suddenly in favour of Harit pradesh. She got about 55% majority in UP. She has least clout in that area so taking her out from UP increases her majority in rest of UP. This makes her CM of UP for next many years very comfortably.

But for Congress, They are equally powerful in both areas. They do not have any particular clout in that area. So doing this split doesn't give them an extra state to rule in bigger scheme of things.

So, now why local leaders across parties are against this move.

Many people have brought the issue of investment in Hyderabad and those points. Somehow, I think this is true but there is one more angle toward this. Hyderabad is surely the key element but with a different perspective.

During my analysis, I figured out that though Andhra is prosperous in general vis a vis many other states In India, they do not have second city other than Hyderabad. With over 10% of current state population, it is the only metropolitan/ cosmopolitan city in Andhra.

I last went saw Vijaywada/ Guntur 7 years back and just the thought of them being capital city of just a big and prosperous state makes me laugh

For that matter, even UP have Kanpur, Noida which are actually bigger than Luchnow. Gujarat has Baroda, Maharashtra have Pune, Nagpur, Punjab have got Mohali, Haryana have got Punchkula, Gurgaon but Andhra without Hyderabad would be like Assam at best with capital city developed like Guwahati.

Now without world class Airports, Malls, Hotels like Ramada, Taj and Grand kakatiya, Residential places like Banjara and Jubilee hill, where these politicians go. Where would they live?? The local businessman like Raju :) can continue to live in Hyderabad. But politicians and superstars haev to shift where their state is. So be it Chiru or a MLA from a small town, he is living in Jubilee hills now. I do not know a single place outside Hyderabad who is even 10% developed like Jubilee hills so there would be a big change in life style of these people


Even Jharkhand had Ranchi, Uttrakhand had Dehradoon which are far more cosmopiltans than Vijaywada and Guntur for sure.

And why we all make money, to live in style, eat food in exotic locations, travel to places etc etc.

Just few thoughts from me.

I am Busy--How true is the statement

Hi All,

This is one more issue which drives me to think beyond what is said. Many times, this would have happened with you also that you call up a friend/ relative and he is not able to talk to you properly because he is busy.

This is fine as you can be busy at that particular moment. But what I am not able to comprehend is that the person is not able to call you back or meet you for a week/ month etc etc.

I hear someone saying that I didn't called you back because I am busy for last 15 days. I wonder how busy can you be in 24 hrs x 15 days that you didn't get time to give a 5 minute cal back to a person who supposedly holds a very special place in your life.

Let me clarify further. During my 8 years of work and 6 years of professional studies ( DCE and IIMB), I was busy for 8 months when I was with Studyplaces.com. I used to live in Dwarka and office was in Gurgaon. Because of pressure on start up and my position and sense of accountability, I needed to work 9 AM to 8 PM everyday including some Sundays.

Now, many of others do have these office timing as normal so what so special. The special thigj was 50% of those days, I never had Lunch and rest 50% , I ate with left hand and right hand typing.

So from 9 AM to 8 PM, if there are 11 hours, I was involved in hands on work for at elast 10.45 hrs. I never loggod on to any messenger, the stock market crashed from 21000 to 8000 but I was not able to open my demat account as it might have taken 15 minutes. I guess this is enough to prove my point.

Now, when I talk to few of these people who claim that they are busy for last 15 days, they were having one hour Lunch break as usual, though there is lot of fire fighting in office but you were leaving at 6 everyday, you went for Movie with your spouse last weekend and did tons of shopping but still were very busy.

I am just not able to understand the criteria of someone to be busy !!

Please help me

Bearish Market- How can it exist

Though I have been out of touch for the last 5 years, my feeble interest in stock markets keeps me not to forget finance and capital markets completely. Whenever I listen to CNBC or NDTV or look at nay recommendation from any of my able friends, One question always bamboozle me.

How can you have a bearish outlook towards any stock or market in particular.

Let me start with an example:

Analysts say buy stock x at price 120 with target of 170. As soon as you reach 170, sell it and get out of that stock.

Why should I?? If I sell at 170, there has to be someone buying at 170..Right. So who is buying at 170 when everyone believes that now stock is expected to go down.


Similarly sometime back during so called recession, the market was at 11000 points. people say that we are still in bearish market but then why do not Sensex falls immediately to 0. Because there are people buying at 11000 points.

Now from a logical perspective. people are long on Stocks or any other asset always. We have more people owning a house right now than who are short and have sold houses. Same for any other asset you can think of.

So expectation from a large segment of people is that prices would always increase of assets. That is why they continue buying/ holding them to sell in future for their financial need. Then second person buys it and holds it as per his financial planning

So, Now can anyone answer

The purpose of stop loss and Profit booking concept if you are not a day trader.
