What I want to become....

Had posted this on about me section on my wordpress Paradhaman blog, republishing it here....


Bhujha na sake woh aag ban,
Hila na sake woh parvat ban,
rok na sake woh ufaanta hua saagar ban,
akandh brahmaand ki tarah gambhir ban,
samarth ban, purush ban.

Sick of Indian Congress Government

I am sick of the Congress government.

Half of the people in this country go to bed empty stomach and yet this government has the audacity to say eat less sugar. Why not come with one-two child per family plan?

Rahul Gandhi an MP, son of a party president, president of the youth wing gets an cover of 10000 policemen, NSG commandos, why? And people and media claims victory? Its like an entire army protecting deer in the lion land, and deers come back out saying he is more powerful than the lion?

Hindu population in Bangladesh and Pakistan has dwindled, and yet Indians wants to prove they are most human people on this earth? Who are they fooling?

The Congress has time to go to Azamgarh again and again. Batla house incident. Had Rahul Gandhi or any Congressmen visited any of the family members of the martyrs of Mumbai or whose member was killed during 26/11?

Today on this auspicious day of MahaShivratri, I vow to bring Swaraj in this country and get rid of Congress, come whatever the results may be.

Gold - Should you Invest in it?

New year investment tips from the news channels. Each and every business new channel are bringing on so call "experts" to give tips to the investors throughout the country. However it has become a more of a PR exercise rather than an informative sessions.

One of the pet peeves of the so called "experts" is to sell gold to investors. Gold is a safe option, gives good return and blah blah blah..

New generation would avoid gold. Who needs them? And even if they want it, they do not want a half a kilo dangling around the neck with quarters dangling on the ears? People are opting for lightweight designs. And come on guys people want lifestyle products they can use in every day life, not something they keep in lockers. Given them a camcorder worth 40K which captures every day life on hard disk at HD resolution. A digital camera for the moments. An iPod, a printer for printing moments, a netbook, a high end mobile phone and if you are flushing with cash, a car, a 42 inch Plasma/LCD TV, a home theater.

Gold would only occupy the place in the locker, not earning interests on it. Just lying there in a corner of the cupboard or a bank locker. The money is not in circulation and hence the economy takes a beating. And who buy gold to sell it later and make profit. Repeat after me, gold is not a stock.

The only people whom buying Gold make sense is the Government, because its value would not diminish in case of currency falling. The current generation is moving from looking good, to feeling good. And when you are feeling good, you are going to look good buddy. Definitely.

I would refrain people from investing in Gold. At the most somewhere around 250 - 500 gm and that's it. Not more than that. There are places to visit, life to live.
