A New Year … A New Look

No, it’s not the blog getting a new look. It’s me!

Finally, off with that bush between my nose and lips, commonly referred to as a MOUSTACHE.

Now time to change a quite a few things (and not just physically), time to set and achieve my goals, time to continuously keep learning and adding new skills(and not just programming skills), time to blog more often, time to  make and break resolutions,  and most importantly of all…… ‘Time To Keep Enjoying‘.

New Year Passion…. Investing In Shares

Have to thank the bad governance of Satyam, to trigger my entry into the stock market. With the share prices crashing to almost half, there could not have been a safer bet. Though could not capitalise on investing in Satyam, when it was at an all time low at Rs. 120 odd, managed to get a fair deal at, Rs.153. With the current price at Rs. 177, my first kiss with the stock market is likely to yield positive dividends :)

But investing in stocks is not just about making (or losing) money, it gives me an adrenaline rush. A sense of excitement, a feeling of pride (in owning a stake in huge billion dollar companies), also making me acquainted with all those dreaded economic terms,  and  yes it does provide me with the usual panic attacks (when your shares move into the Red zone).

For the time being have stakes (now that really makes me proud) in ICICI, NDTV, Kingfisher Airlines, Satyam . So to all you people out there, NDTV is the channel to watch. Kingfisher Airlines is the flight to fly, ICICI is the bank to deposit all your cash. And Raymond is where you shop from. Atleast until, I have my investments in there :)

And for now ….. Bye Bye MTV. Hooked onto UTVi.
