We Shall Overcome

Its all in the mind. That is what I have to say regarding this recession thing. Recently I caught up with an uncle of mine who kind off looked sad on the day of his son’s wedding. On prodding him to speak on, he told me the reason. Most of his invited subordinates had to be given the sacking orders next morning. Couldn’t have been a tougher thing to do for someone who is passionate about emotions/relations. Today I say come to my son’s wedding with your family and have your fill. Tomorrow I say find some other job to feed your family. Some might have felt good that now the effect of USA is diminishing but the reality is that it is taking the whole world with it in this globalised world. There are some positives like crude oil rates which were dancing at 150$ per barrel and now are touching 40$.

Some famous economists might show previously dated articles where they might have predicted this but all that is crap. There are just two ways for it too go, UP UP UP or DOWN DOWN DOWN. So there is hell a lot of chance of one’s guesses going right. Had my blog been functional before, I too would have had made an accurate estimate using my solid foundation and understanding of the World’s economics ( sad that my non laughable jokes never find any takers).

Though I guess its all about investor confidence. Recession might send you down from a car to a scooter or a bicycle if you have really bad days but things never remain the same so say with me,

WE SHALL OVERCOME ONE DAY (hum honge kaamyab ek din).

I am Here

Hi guys i am the new contributor to this blog which we plan to make our breeding ground as future content providers of mainly stories based on human interactions and normal day to day topics but with a different touch. So Pramod and me plan to bombard this place with all such things we saw in our lives which might help you all connect with us. Saw kung fu panda, was decently good but nothing in comparison with Abhay starrer oye lucky lucky oye which caused me stomach cramps due to laughing. A must watch i say cause abhay is the only deol who knows acting.

Holidays

Yes you read it right, those exams which took with them half my soul are over at last with me now free to put in life into the blog. The elections this time did spring a surprise with Congress coming back to power in Delhi. For those who don't know, BJP candidate VK Malhotra had a post equivalent to that of CM of delhi way back in 60's. Its sad that after 4 decades he is still running after it. In terms of vote share not much difference is there in the candidates so it feels sad when just a couple of votes here and there translate to a WIN or LOSS. I too voted and am still carrying the ink stain on my hand cause the officer responsible for putting it on surely didn't do his duty well. Seems like the ink has corroded my nail so badly that it might remain there until this tissue gets replaced. If the election commission has started using the EVM's, they should modernize it in such a way that no counting has to be done and results are declared straight away.
