With the Sensex crossing 21K mark!! today.. the Bull seems to keep running.. and hoping that it will for some more time to come…Markets seem to be bullish at times and bearish at times depending on theinternational markets performance, crude oil prices, national/internationalpolitical/apolitical affairs, blah blah …
Business channels and economic dailies come with their daily analysis on which stock to invest and which not ..So in the midst of this run withmajor stocks at all time highs - is it the right time to invest?? What my logic says is that (which is similar to that of age old one or rathersimilar to the theory of diminishing returns expelled by some economistages back ) all times are right times of course depending on which stock one is investing , any investment into the diminishing goods would always bear returns..!!
Ps see : I am barely an amateur in this space (so would not dare to give any explicit views!!) :)
With the dollar’s worth depreciating against that of Re …- the most hit are the export houses, and biggest amongst them are the major IT companies (bagging all major MNC projects) what makes me wonder then is that why still are these major IT companies bringing in new employees and why then are they in the race of number crunching?? If they still have enough of profits from the previous bargains, why not prefer to share amongst the existing employees rather then bringing new ones and distributing the profits..!! ;)
Before I open my baggage of little knowledge in this arena :) – I guess this is enough to quote here.. and would leave the rest to the business channels and economic dailies to bring in their introspection, analysis, judgments etc etc..
Enjoy the bullish run/marathon (if u are part of that race!! :) - rest of us can be the parcel of spectators :) )

“Would you like to take this horse ride?”
People on the cart were holding smiles, exchanging small chatters and laughs.
The cart moved in rhythmic motion. The tip-taps of the horse couplet built a tempo around like children singing a melody.
Dad’s holding their children in their places, while the ride around the racecourse continued. Raja, the most popular and proud owner of the dark tall horses, made the horses ride slow at all potential clients by pulling the straps passing through the horse’s nose. The children aboard were having fun on the horse’s back.
Viewing this fun ride, Astha asked her little tiny tot if he wanted to take this horse ride.
Pintu Baba “Would you like to take this horse ride?” To her utter amazement she heard her tiny tot replying relentlessly with a little gloomy face and sad tint of tone “Mamma, don’t you see these horses have so much load of these people on their back, their eyes are also covered so that people can’t even see their pain and tears. They, these horses know not why they run; they just run on a whip by Raja. Faster the lashing of the whip on their hump, and faster they run, and if they don’t obey see how Raja pulls those vicious straps passing through its noses, giving them a stare that they are to obey him. And you are asking me to sit on these poor horse's back. I wish I could make them free and let them run in wilderness on their own will."
Stunned and left speechless by this reply, Astha cuddled her tiny tot, lifted him in her arm and walked through the racecourse ground to their way home. !!

I wander and I wonder..solemn and solitude..
How long, into this world shall I wander?
At times it makes me wonder..
Into this path of life with many roads that are right,
Some within reach and some out of sight,
Some wrong paths with closed roads,
would make me come face to face with the odds.
But that would be alright,
As far as I get and hope to see days sunny and bright..
Solemn between the cartel of people,
Yet not solemn at all..
I know what I search in life,
Yet I know not.. ( what is life)
Wonder and wander I into this life..
Solemn and solitude in the crowd,
Being a part and yet not a part of the crowd,
Living, yet trying to find the meaning of what we call as LIFE…

Happy New Year !!
As this new year comes with a bang,
lets remember what desires in the heart rang,
new resolutions to form and keep,
venting at times the stresses with a coffee's sip.
Lets rejoice the differences and cherish the similarities,
Lets bring the unknown to the list of familiarities.
Lets find time to keep up with our hobbies and interests,
and learn something new and create new interests.
Fast will this year end to give way to the new,
lets not forget to pass smiles by helping others in whatever way we can whether its due or undue.
Lets brighten ours and others day as well ,
with an optimistic bell,
adding happiness day on day , till the year end,
and later cherish the memories we left in the year 2008 ..!!
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year..

Mumbai blues, the other side of mumbai ,
From an ease paced life to the fast tracked one is a sea of change. This side of mumbai is not what I have been too well aversed with, though mumbai was no new for me - flocks of people travelling from one destination to the next, running through the race of life , purpose or no purpose the travel continues to make the ends meet...
This time around the preferred mode of commuting is the public transport unlike what I have been used to.. When one looks around - railway station, bus stop, roads at peak hours or no peak hours ( every hour is a waking hour , and every hour is a peak hour ) one comes face to face with the reality of life. One push and you are in the herd of people travelling by trains/bus, one push and you are out .. it looks like a mass movement..
No matter you are fresh when you start your day into the sweltering mass , you end up bathing with sweat and dirt , till you reach and breathe the air conditioned office air..
Phew!! No time to halt, no time for oneself..and yet this land of opportunity has thousands in number reaching to get engulfed in the existing mass for brighter futures unless they forget their dreams in the wilderness of this fast life..!! Life is...!!!

Some of Rumi Ur's sayings..
Here are few of Rumi Ur's sayings which I liked out of quite a few quotes on HT edition today..Go ahead .. enjoy..
1) You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life.
2) Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.
3) Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.
4) Everyone see the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more - more unseen forms becomes manifest to him.
5) I died a mineral and became a plant. I died a plant and became an animal. I died an animal and I was man. Why should I fear ? When was I less by dying ?
( This dosent fall exactly in line with the Karma theory. But I liked the thought of not to fear of death. )
6) Silence is the language of God. All else is poor translation.
7)Who could be so lucky ? Who comes to the lake of water and sees the reflection of the moon.
8) If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished?
9) Do you know what the music is saying ? "come follow me and you will find the way. Your mistakes can also lead you to the truth.

little wonders..
Small dreams,
Big dreams,
Expected moves,
Unexpected roves,
Strong voices of mind,
of what is expected (and)
what could be the unexpected,
Something to leave behind,
Something to take and move forward,
New moments to set the mind (on)
Memories lane would point backward,
but as I take this ride,
with a stride,
Challenges on the way,
All would be for the good ahead in the road that lay,
Rejoice everthing that comes on the way,is what this heart say(s).
