One Day! Some Day!

There will be a day when Poverty becomes History;
There will be a day when I smile & walk on a cleaner road;
There will be a day when my electric train travels are with school-going-kids with books not selling them;
There will be a day when every fellow Indian is proud about being one;

There will be a day when nobody is left hungry;

There will be a day when I don't have to worry about Fuel, as all had been taken care of;
There will be a day when all the Whales & deers & all the species in the world walk along;
There will be a day when a course of meal need not be struggled for;
There will be a day when the leaves shall fall & grow back the same;
There will be a day when every challenged person is treated just the same;
There will be a day when nobody is looked down for their deficit;
There will be a day when humans are valued better than money;
There will be a day when people respect each other;
There will be a day when being a girl is no way different;
There will be a day when the rivers are clear & drinking water is not a concern;
There will be a day when pollution is controlled;
There will be a day when blood is not shed to have something done;
There will be a day when bribe is just a word;
There will be a day when every kid has a mother & a father;
There will be a day when loyalty & honesty are prioritised higher;
There will be a day when the tongue stops twisting bad;
There will be a day when every human realises the value of time;
There will be a day when I see a smile light-up every face;
There will be a day when God shall look into my eyes & say "I am proud of you"!;
& until then, I shall strive for it.

Get the Hell Out of Here!!

My Indian Blood was put to a critical Stage & was subjected to a very High Fluctuation on temperature! We usually have good dining conversations at home. But strangely today, there was this conversation of 'buying' US Citizenship. With helluva "US" fanatics, there was this craze to try to buy an American Citizenship after an MBBS! Even worse, I regretfully have to admit that I do know an Uncle who is no more an Indian, & is already an American. Having settled there for nearly a quarter of a Century, he was celebrating his Citizenship. Unfortunately, that was a time when I put forth a few questions: 'Aren't you missing anything from India? Don't you feel you have a duty to give something back to the nation that grew you up?You don't even want to come back to show the Land, the love it bestowed on you?'

I believe I got one hell of a reply that broke my heart! His reason behind all the non-missing part was because India had the worst "Traffic", "poverty", highest "Pollution",least "Opportunity" & all the lame words in the world! Damn! What's wrong with these sort of people? Have they all lost their heart? Perhaps the climate out there have left their hearts as Cold as ever! I, initially, tried to kindle & bring out the Indian within them, but then I settled down with "My country needs true Indians whose love is unconditional to it & I don't have to beg some nagging naive to love something which has so much in it". I regret to have such uncaring non-passionate people in my nation that gave me all the care & love in the world!

If your house has some dirt in it, will you sell your house & buy a new one? You will probably clean the mess that your brother or sister made, right? It is the same sense. May be we DO have a bad traffic, but waiting in that Traffic, with a brother nudging you to change the Radio channel makes it good. May be we DO have a high Pollution, but that has made our immune System better than the rest of the world! May be there are lesser opportunities to you, as you never looked into the one next to you! All these flaws themselves are opportunities in the world! & as for poverty, people are working their way up! It is because that you never cared a DAMN for your brothers that they are still poor.

There is also this other notion of Bribery! I definitely agree that it exists in its worst form! But, the only point is, so many have the Guts to handle it, while you don't! If every single person feels the same & runs off the country giving pointless reasons, then who is going to put an end to the wrong happenings?!! I would rather prefer to stay alive in my nation than getting mugged or being eaten up by some Psycho-path!

At one point of the conversation, there was a talk of leaving the nation to lessen the population, send money back home & thus contributing to your nation! With the deepest emotion of being laughed at for claiming it as a 'Lame Excuse', I feel sorry for my Nation to have to bear with such sort of disloyal cowards!

People leaving the nation due to certain vicious circumstances are excusable. But the ones of this sort....will have to eat their words one day! & I would dare say..That day is not too far!

Lock, Stock & Management Game(A rare game)

I wanted to write this Blog a long time ago, but my exams took the toll. I happened to visit the Lock Stocks & Trade(LST) Competition in Great Lakes Institute of Management Studies(GLIMS, Chennai). I got the intimation pretty late after the Participation date was closed. (Apparently the mail went to my Spam Folder) So, I had to settle down as an Investor in the Competition.

About LST:
                 The Lock, Stock & Trade is all about the way Stocks & Trade work. It is a mock of the Stock Market & the Companies. If you are a company(Participant of the LST), then you will have to present your company's profile tempting the investors to invest in yours. If you are an investor, invest in the company that you have faith in & multiply your initial investment. Finally, the company with the Maximum worth is declared the Winner, while the Richest Investor after having multiplied the money is the Best Investor. Its like finding the Reliance & Warren Buffet from the competition.

                The good thing about the Game was that, it introduced students to the world of  Stocks & Shares. I have explored this world in my teenage by reading the Motley Fool books. Having anticipated to put that into action, I found this the best way to test my Investment Instincts.

Travel:
         I was happy to travel with the MBA First Years to explore their knowledge & perspectives. Being an Engineering student I wanted to know how they think & make that into action. Got onto the bus, & found myself sitting next to a few MBA girls. As usual, I started yapping & found myself a few more friends. The travel was interesting & fun filled.

The Event:
        Every 'investor' was given with Rs.50,000 each & will have to invest in 9 Competing companies having 4000 shares each. The Participants, looks like, interned with Real Time companies to pitch as the Companies. But, I must admit, the choice of companies were odd. I would say a few companies were just not the sort becoming 'Public'. But yet there were a very few choices as well. The Company's ultimate aim is to attract most of the investors. The investor's point is to make a lot of money out of his investment, of-course. The investor will have to quote the right amount guessing on the demand rate. The Initial Public Offer (IPO,Opening Share Value) is decided by the least bidding value quoted by the 4000th bidder in the order of decreasing Share Quotations. For example, the company "Wow" gets bidding from investors from Rs.450 to Rs.150, then it starts giving shares from the Rs.450 bidder & if the 4000th share is given to a bidder with Rs.300, then that Rs.300 becomes the IPO  & all its 4000 shares will be sold at that Rs.300. If one bids at Rs.400, then the remaining Rs.100 goes back to your a/c.


The Trick to win as an Investor:
          From an investor's point of view the trick was simple: Quote the right value to the right company with non-divergence i.e. 

• Limit the number of companies you invest. Investing in too many companies is not applicable for faster growth as that may lead to lowering the chances of multiplying your shares & value. Imagine you get 5 shares in 5 companies & only one of them fairs well. Then the profit is felt equivalent to only 1 share. But if you invest in 1 company & if that company fairs well, then the profit is in all 5 shares & hence the growth is faster. The amount of risk involved is greater, but to decide that 1 company, one needs to be a good analyser.
• Quote the right share value: Don't quote it too high nor too low. If you quote a larger value, then your multiplying factor becomes less. Like in the case of a Rs.400 investor: He invests 400 for a 300 rupees share. For 400 he would have quoted lesser number of shares than possible with Rs.300 (Say for 400 you get 15 shares but for 300 you get 25 shares. If one shares value increases by Rs.10, then its a Rs.250 gain for the 300 investor compared to Rs.150 of 400 investor. If too low, you would not get the share at all.
• Finding the right company: In a normal Stock market investment, one would look into factors like Management team, resources, Capital, the sustenance of the company, etc. But for this competition, you will simply have to find the 'Company' loved by all. You just have to find the company into which everybody would invest on. The factors like Smartness, answering capability, etc will decide. (Sometimes even a good-looking girl in a team will make a difference!!) 
• The correct Quoting amount would have to be the average of the extreme values (guess) that could possibly be quoted. I guessed that the Rs.300 & the Rs.150 will be the extreme calls and quoted all companies at around Rs.225.

                    After all such calculations & investments, Guess what happened? I ended up getting into the top investors list ending up understanding a lot more on Stocks & shares. If you find an LST program near-by, don't forget to participate & get the experience. Try having the above points in mind while you play LST. Someday, you would start investing & then you'll understand how LST helped you!
