Good Read

Yet another good post from The Back Benchers. This post is about the recent bear run at the stock market and its reasons. This one is really funny -

It’s only the markets like these that have taught me that during bulls making money is equivalent to betting on Ravindra Jadeja scoring a century against New Zealand. If you’ve got a bloody Motera-like pitch concrete road to play on against a bowling attack that could accommodate Ajit Agarkar even today then even there you will make money on a fairly regular basis.

I also agree with the comment of NREGA and the recent actions of RBI. I always wondered if the problem of inflation is of Supply side then why we always expect RBI to tame inflation. If the supply of Onions is less then hiking the Repo Rate isn’t going to help. Also, as an MBA student I remember that it takes time before we see effects of a monitory policy change. I hope Dr. Manmohan Singh take some serious steps towards mitigating inflation.

My favorite Dialogue : Vegeta's Respect

I wanted to publish this since long time, but always postponed it, waiting for the right time. Well actually it is not a dialogue, since only one person is speaking.  This dialogue is from my favorite Cartoon serial DragonballZ and is spoken by my favorite character Vegeta . The scene is in the climax of the serial, in one of the final episodes. To give you an idea why I like it, let me give you some idea about DragonballZ . The characters Goku and Vegeta are one of the most important characters in the series. Goku, the protagonist, who is actually an alien from a planet called Vegeta and is one of the last of his race Saiyan . But unlike the Saiyans who are naturally aggressive, fight-loving, brutal, strongest warriors in the world, he is very calm, naive. He hates to be a Saiyan, when he realizes that he belongs to such a killing race. According to his blood line and roots on planet Vegeta, he is a third grade soldier in the Saiyan Army. On the contrary, Vegeta is the Prince o...

Natrang

I seriously don’t remember the last time I watched a Marathi movie in a theater, so according to my memory this was the first time I saw a Marathi Movie in a theater. And where?? The center point of recent controversy, Bharatmata, whose owners have been asked by NTC to vacate the place. Well, I will discuss that point in another post. Now, let us talk about the movie. I must admit it was a pleasure to watch Natrang in Bharatmata. The theater is located in central Mumbai near Lalbaug, which was dominated by Marathi mill workers in the yesteryears. Viraj had gone to PVR Lower Parel to buy the tickets. But since it would have cost us Rs. 150 each, I felt that it was too costly and asked Viraj to watch the movie in some other theater or on some other day. Since, Bharatmata was the nearest theater he decided to go there. I also left from home to join him. When I went there, there was a huge line for ticket. I didn’t tell Viraj but I had just 30 bucks in my wallet at that time, but what y...
