Saash-Bahu-Sona-Aur Sensex


Statutory Warning: Those who're not spirited enough to kill their times, should leave now.

Blogging ... Blogging .... Blogging ... about my fav passion ...... stock market. This time I will present a nice picture which depicts the last 6 months Gold vs. Equity tallies. Please refer to the picture besides.
The red one is the BSE Sensex ... representing the Indian Stocks. And the blue one is the cost of 1 grm of Gold ... in it purest form. I'm taking one particular Gold ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) where 1 unit represents one gram of pure gold. And what you find is exactly a Sash - Bahu relationship .... completely complementary to each other. Isn't it dear? See all the ups and downs ... they're almost opposite to each others. That's amazing to me .....

So now the question is : if somebody holds both of equal amount? - Please send me the reply dear at my email id.


Waiting for your reply .....

Celebrating an era of daily passengering ....

Aha .... Reminiscence are always sails smooth .. be it about how she looked when I first met her, be it the very first day of my daily passengering. Actually it was 26th August of 1996. And then ...... 12 years are passed by ........ lots happens across the world, a new bridge has been there over Ganges besides old Bally Bridge, got a new connector from Bally to Dumdum breezed just in 20 mins ... however nothing is as divine as daily passengering via 8:55 Dankuni local from Bally Ghat Station to Bidhannagar .... 5 times a week for last 12 years. And 2008 is my year of celebrating the 12th year of daily passengering, promotes me to chit-chat here. Hope you don't mind.


I can still remember the very first day of my journey ... a day when for the first time, I moving out of my locality for educational purpose to JU-2nd campus. Imagine your first day in an engg college ... the obvious picture will be a nervous face, for the possibility of ragging. Our induction was scheduled at 10:20 a.m. So I need to catch 8:55 train. And that becomes my lifeline for the next 12 years till date. I'm really really passionate about daily passengering ... some time it is difficult ... annoying .... depressing ........ yet by a large extend ..... this is superb experience. Why? - simply because this is probably the only place where I can hear the 'voice of people'. I just love to hear what people says about all the recent topics ..... from politics to play to policies to economics. And if you compile all the sayings, you'll get a perfect view of the Incredible India. Believe me .... it's not smooth ride, yet it has other facet which I njoy the most. I just lov it ................

Lots of chit-chat .... however let me turn my face to a bit serious ... basically I've a few proposals of how the reform should be done in Indian Railways ..... such that going forward more & more people can write such trash blogs .... rite?

  1. All local trains must be of 12 compartments
  2. Indian Govt should only maintain the tracks, not trains. Rather private players should be allowed to run trains .... much like Indian air space .....
  3. Indian Railways must be make Public Ltd .....

Pardon me for such a bhat .... and thanks for reading it ....
