This is what explained stock markets best to me!

Found this somewhere on net a while back, very interesting and true....

' It was autumn, and the Red Indians on the remote reservation askedtheir 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 theweather was Going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, hereplied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold andthat 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 andasked "Is the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like thiswinter is Going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at theweather service Responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect evenmore Wood. A week later, he called the National Weather Service again."Is it Going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at NationalWeather Service again replied, "It's definitely going to be a verycold winter."The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collectEvery scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Areyou Absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?""Absolutely," The Man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldestwinters ever." "How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Red Indians are collecting wood like Crazy." This is how stock markets work!!! '

So, now u know how well (?) I understand this .... More 'bt how I got interested in this, my first stock etc etc...A li'l later.... jus' wish had more money to put in this so I could get the hang of it : ) .. Later then..... C ya.

Food and Sleep...

I was jus wishing there wld be something that would keep me from falling asleep... this has been one of my laziest weekends ever... i'd jus' popped in one of Conan O' Brien's talk shows in the cd player and he says... "Scientists are developing a new drug that keeps people who suffer form chronic fatigue from falling asleep. The scientists are calling the drug "cocaine.""... Thanks, pal...maybe that's jus what I need : )

Must have endless supplies of these for a nice relaxing wekend, IF at home....Let's see now...what wld I need....... Episodes of 'Friends', Tapes of Talk shows (it has to be David Letterman or Conon O' Brien, sometimes Oprah if I'm in that kinda mood) , Tom and Jerry episodes, fun/romantic movies(no action stuff), Archie comics and some gud music .. a couple of mindless board games handy...And yes...food...garam chai aur pakode : )..and average bt mmmmm..25 hrs of sleep for the weekend! Nothin' like that to put on a couple of kilos over a couple of days, huh?

I can skip the partying, Nothin' like a relaxing weekend at home. (For now, at least). Back to bed, now. C ya.

Monday Blues!

Another non-existent aspect in the BPO Industry… No Monday Morning Blues…. It’s like you have three days off when you have the weekends off… yet, so short.

‘Course Monday evenings is a whole another thing… It’s a lot of fun looking at people evolve out of their respective weekends… Some are happy looking at the familiar faces again…everyone’s almost always grumbling ‘bt how short the weekend was.. How t’was jus’ not enough for EVERYTHIN that they wanted to do.. Exchanging views bt the places they dined at….etc etc…. Some manage to fall in and out of love (in the same weekend, yet…gosh!?!?!), and some are still trying to get over their hangover [yes, I didn’t forget u : ) ]…. It’s a usually a full three hours before everyone becomes normal (again, normal is a perception).

K… I want to write more.. but I have to start work… C ya.

My best start to a Monday …Flowers on my desk and yes, my coffee! : )

Sand Prints

For a long time now, The beach has been the best place to think for me, to relax, to hang out with friends… to jus feel more alive than ever! It becomes the place I want it to be … sad and quiet when I’m unhappy, full of dance and life when I’m happy, jus does its own thing when I have other things on my mind…. Or if I want to get my legs wet..well, that’s of course, the most fun : ) ! And yes, there is the sunrise and sunset… wow…what a high to watch those! And it always has the best advice...it shows me what I think... and if nothing else works, it jus' asks me to smile some more, laugh some more, dance some more, live some more... Come to think of it, that's exactly what my frnd Rathi allways tells me...

k..no more boring general statements… this happened a while back on one of my visits to the beach – the one near tidel park, chennai- (the stretch with the white compound and all, if you know the place)… t’was around 4.45 in the morning, I think…. One of those Sunday mornings when I was determined to watch the sunrise, no matter what…. The sun was taking forever to show up … I abandoned my chappals and my bag down by the shore, where I thought I’d keep ‘em in sight … gave in to my temptation to walk along the shore.. I usually consider Chennai a relatively safe place and don’t care where I leave my things beco’z they almost always turn up … no one’s ever stolen anythin from me here..And anyway, Am usually careless and forgetful – and make no attempts to change me…I hate this bt me, though… I care deeply bt all my material possessions : ) .Wish I cld be more careful ‘bt them.

Back to what I was saying… I was lost in my world… I counted my steps, lost complete track of where I started from, collected all kinds of shells – my pockets were full of ‘em, even made friends with a grandfather type person; who had a brilliant sense of humor and his dog; with a not-so-brilliant sense of humor. We won’t get into that,though….I reckon, t’d been bt an hour and half becoz by then, the sun was quite bright… this is when I generally lose it, I hate h e a t..it’s strange how u can luv something so much jus’ a while bac and again, luv it during sunset and yet, loathe it during the day..wonder if this holds good for people too?!? (should think bt that….) ..’neways, this is when I can’t wait to get back into my nicely air-conditioned car… and of course, all days have to have something characteristic ‘bt them …in this case, t’was ‘win some, lose some’ … I lost my chappals and bag for the day.

My footprints on sand!

Complications...

T’was a few months back (almost a yr now actually) when I was exasperated with autos, here in Chennai….and in my own damn reach for independency-purely be’coz I didn’t have anyone to be dependant on… (I like the dependency factors…none of those independence crap for me)… wat was I saying ..oh yes, t’was almost a yr back when I picked up a car of my own. To get rid of my transportation problems and to get rid of my feeling of always being immensely threatened by traffic (my past experiences on my 2-wheeler I used to ride was the main cause for this unresonable fear in me)

There started the drama in my life I still njoy…. It’s an unbelievable thrill for me today, every time I drive and reach somewhere,safe and sound…and what’s more? Everyone on the roads are safe too!!! It's like magic! Lol….it’s a wonderful feeling..I dunno how many of you appreciate this feeling or even understand it… it still hurts, though when I see the many scratches and dents on my car when I do an inspection of it sometimes…I have no clue when and how they got there?!?! And all the time, I’ve been sitting in there, safely tucked away, under my seat belt…thanks to the guy who taught me to drive ..he instilled this particualr habit in me…me learning to drive’z a whole another story... and am sure those who taught me to drive have some nice li’l tales to share too…ne’ways, will save those for another day.

Well…like I was saying… the complications…godd,it’s never ending… I’ve had to constantly display my ignorance on the intricacies of cars which I know nothing bt…. Of course, I don’t think most’d call ‘em intricacies…basics is more like it… I’ve learnt so much in the last few months- like what a stepney is, to fix a flat by lifting the car high up there (still have never had to do it by myself…thank godd for that) , a quick push to the mudguard so it stops rattling, how to detect leaking fuel tanks, to fix wipers that stop working jus when u most need ‘em… it jus goes on… this has been one of my most recent learning experiences and it still goes on… still can’t park and reverse for my life!! Am usually smiling sweetly at someone to get those things done for me….

‘neways, for all the complications that it’s put in front of me and let's not forget the expenses ...... I still'd definitely hav to say …there’s nothing to beat a nice long drive down ecr (this is one of the gud-est roads for a drive, here in chennai - 'course I know there's no word like that,,but this is my blog, remember?!?! : ) ) Mmm.....Been a while since I did a nice long drive, listening to some music..... Should do that soon! All rite..that’s all for now… more driving experiences to share later… Meanwhile, jus let me know if anyone for a drive wid me??? : )

RASCAL FLATTS - I'M MOVING ON LYRICS

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived that I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

The best part(s) of the day for me...

Those of you, who have worked, at some point of life in the BPO industry will understand what I’m talking ‘bt better than the others…

Like most of you know, I am currently a part of the BPO industry (soon to become a part of the KPO- when the BPO industry evolves more). My day begins at 3.00 in the afternoon. For me, this is how 6.00 in the morning is for the other so-called normal (?) people. I go on with my afternoon duties, and am out of home at around 4.30. This is when my cab picks me up. Contrary to conversations you might have picked up here and there, these cab rides to work are most enjoyable, especially if the cabs are air-conditioned. I am a very modern-technology person… So, I obviously give air-conditioning a good percentage of importance to rate the overall experience. And, like in the picture- a typical cab pickup would be a Qualis, Sumo or an Indica. Anyways, what these cab rides opens up to you…. Approximately 7 different people who, otherwise; you probably would never have known in such close proximity (in 2 ways - u know what I mean), a cab driver who’s usually damn good fun (mine’s the best!), a joyride through the streets of Chennai – this is beautiful when you’re traveling back home in the wee hours of the morning…and what am I missing? Oh yes…. cab music…this is usually a choice of the masses…. And here, in chennai, you obviously know what it’s got to be… of course, all the latest koothu songs and the likes. I can’t remember when I’ve ever been so up-to-date with Tamil music. I often surprise people, these days, when I’m humming some of the songs that they’d never have perceived me to know. (Parents are the ones who are shocked mostly)

‘Neways, for a recap, these cab rides are awesome. Some of the good things bt them are …… a lot of fun, good way to make friends, a taste of the local music, thorough knowledge of all the tea shops in town and lots more. One of the best things is, of course, we always, invariably avoid peak traffic hours. So, there is such a thing as enjoyable commuting after –all!

The other best things of a normal day for me would be… wait, lemme think…. My first morning coffee at home (in my case afternoon coffee)…. Second one from the treasured coffee machine at work (we had to fight for this…that why it’s treasured), the cab ride in-between (naturally), food time at work (which is always), gmail time at work (again, always!), smoke breaks (three times a day), gossip breaks (happens simultaneously with work), what else…. Oh hell, I’m gonna stop now before someone here figures out what I really do at work…Update my blog !!!! What else?!?!!?!! C ya ‘ll now. Ciao.

My first entry!

Hi all

This starts my web journal where I plan to post periodically my thoughts (I know that's what everyone says in the beginning) ..' Neways, In the course of doing this, am hoping I will discorver if I really do lead an interesting life and well, figure out if I have a sense of humor on ink! (or whatver the equivalnet of ink is ,here on the net) ...And,well... I also hope to have some interesting insights to share (if not now, eventually) of what I have learnt and maybe, a few years from now... it'll be a good stacking of memories... gud and bad.

Man......who am I kidding? I am only gonna update this when I feel like and when I have time...and I promise you, there will be spelling mistakes. (I'm hoping,though...that I will do this in earnest)

So, keep coming in here.... Rt.
