Good Read

There has been a big scandal in US (around $50 billion), made by Bernard Madoff. It has been termed as a "Ponzi" scheme by news papers. So I searched on Wiki and got really nice set of articles. Here is the set:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilevel_pyramid_scheme
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynesian_beauty_contest

Just realized that there was a "Ponzi" scheme in mumbai also, few years ago. Remember the "Sherekar" guy. Even my dad had invseted 1K Rs. in the scheme. He was lucky that he at least got the investment back.

Last day @ Netcore

  So it is over. After 16 months in Netcore, it feels sad to leave my friends. But then as Purwa said, "You leave office, you don't leave friends!!!" To be honest the day started as a normal day. I was trying my best not feel any different about the last day. Of course, for everything I did that day was termed as "last something” in Netcore. So there was last "Lunch", "Tea Time", "Photo session", "CCD", etc. I was wearing the shirt given by friends in Netcore. I was really overwhelmed to know how much my friends love and respect me. Being last day in office I didn't have any work as such, but it is a little difficult for a person like me to just sit like that.
