Writing out Resolutions - 2009

 

This is another year, so its time for a set of resolutions.

The first resolution is to write out all the resolutions. Hopefully by the end of the year all of these would have been fulfilled. Want to Bet?

The second resolution is to blog about every book I read and every movie I watch and at least give a rating.

The third resolution is to Be Positive, Confident, Enthusiastic and inspire everyone each day of the year.

The fourth one is pretty much because of the addiction of the smart phone I have. Yep my Iphone. I have decided not to play around with Iphone or my Phone whenever I am either driving, lunching or am with company.

 

Be Good To Yourself !!!

New Year - New Signature Line

Be Good To Yourself. Be Good To Others.

2009 is Going to Rock !!!

 

I predict Year 2009 is going to be a Watershed year for the Positive Upturn of the World Economy.

Its going to Rock. Why do I think so?

With every Tom, Donald and Hari predicting weak forecast for majority of companies, it seems like the end of the world is near.

But when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

This is the time for Bargains. Most of the Smart people will now realize this Opportunity and make wise investments in turn driving the Economy up.

The only place for things to go now onwards is Up.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi - Delivers !!!

Wow !!!

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is a wonderful feel good movie.

Never crossing the lines of decency and Never indulging in any false pretense.

This is another SRK movie which stays close to its premise of the 'Concept' of Indian culture.

It never tries to Convince you against will or logic. It just slowly seeps you in its Emotional Challenge of rediscovery of your feeling beneath the mask.

Kudos to SRK for giving another movie whose moments we will cherish for time to come !!!

Everybody is Concerned !!!

"Do you have any relatives back in Mumbai?"

I have been asked this question 5 different times today by strangers during my Black Friday shopping visit.

I am moved.

I am so glad that the whole world is concerned.

The Terror acts is uniting the people of the world and that is one positive progress.

Indian Government and Media needs to be more Proactive Against Terrorism

Right now as I watch the Taj Hotel in Mumbai in flames because of the Terror Attack, I am reminded of the Sept 11 twin tower attack in New York.

What is wrong with these people? What is the motive behind all these? Is it to derail the stability and peace in the region? Is it retaliation against some act of injustice against some Individual or community? Who is the mastermind?

Hatred Begets Hatred. 80+ People lost their lives in these attack. My sincere condolences and feel for them.

Even after this attack if the Infection of Terror is allowed to grow, it will engulf the whole country in a matter of time.

It is time now for the Government, Media and People to be responsible and get their act together to weed out CORRUPTION and TERRORISM from India and from the World.

There needs to be a systematic accountability of identification of each Individual and organization.

We should not wait for terrorism to impact us to pull up our sock together. Today Cops and Tomorrow Celebrities and Day After Tomorrow Politicians seems to be the Agenda of Terrorists.

If we do not feel safe, we cannot achieve.

Hail the spirit of Mumbai and other cities to forgive and forget !

But it is time for citizens of the country to be Smart and Pro active in weeding out Terror .

VAARANAM AAYIRAM is Disappointing !!!

Movie Audiences have matured to the kind of cinema they expect from certain well established writers and directors.

I watched VA in VA Yesterday as planned.

The movie was disappointing. I could not really connect to it.

I still am confused what was the purpose of the Movie.

To keep it short, It was Disappointing.

My Friends Quote

After seeing the current market situation and following election, my good friend SN has summed it up very well. In his own words

Indian Business  is where American Business was 20 years ago.  American politics is where Indian Politics (MGR and NTR times) was 20 years ago.

Market Prediction for 2008 Nov 10-15

 

Three Negative days and 2 Positive days.

Unless and until there is a one major turning point in the coming months which determines the psychological bottom of the market for the current downturn there is not going to be many wealthy buyers jumping into the buying frenzy.

The really rich and intelligent know that the market has not bottomed yet.

Wisdom floating on the Internet and other publications by seasoned traders and my ‘limited knowledge and intelligence’ interprets the market to end down by end of November 2008 then what it is now.

About the bottom, I believe the bottom will be around 7200 points on Dow Jones.

I will compare this prediction against time to come.
