Missed the excitment of circuit breaker....

Being a Nocturnal , made me lose some of the greatest excitement moments of the stock market today. The time when stock market was busy creating the history , i was deep asleep and when i got up at about 1:30 pm ,i as a normal routine started checking my mails . To my surprise i had 10 mails all saying " HISTORY created in THE INDIAN STOCK MARKET " and i was baffled and was hesitating to open the mails- Having the ambiguity of bad performance with the current recession.

But finally i made my mind and opened the mail and to my surprise the stock market has closed on the Upper circuit - First time in the history of Indian Markets....

UPA's undisputed lead and left being left out of any decisive role in the government has raised the hope of people for the stable and efficient government .Congress party-led UPA government is now expected to provide economic reforms, reduce deficit and boost government funds for development through PSU disinvestment.

This hope were truly reflected in the Stock market movements after the restless weekend for the investors.

This graph gives the movement of market

















But after a excitement full day of circuit breakers, now there is a different question in the minds of investors and of course mine too- How will be the day tomorrow? will market rise further or the people will try to book profit and sell out their shares, bringing down the market with a rectification.
We college mates had just a discussion, where every other person was coming up with the different expression of the sentiments of the markets and how it will behave tomorrow.
This mystery is sure to remain till the market opens tomorrow. So lets keep our fingers crossed and pray for the steady rise of the market and help in reviving back the economy to its rising mode...

One of my friend had recently quoted " life is like a series of mountain , U climb one and come down when the other is waiting to be conquered". So lets hope the Market climbs the new mountain with this positive surge....

WORLD's FASTEST BUS TRANSPORT

A day which is no special but some events and the memories make them really special and memorable.
So was the day today 16th May 2009. I had gone to the office (rare) for my summer training and was returning back. I had covered almost half way back and reached Dilshad Garden .It was pretty as usual nothing special till then.

As we crossed the delhi border and entered the UP(Uttar Pradesh) "the state of bureaucrats",I was expecting to get the TEMPO as usual but the day was special The BIGGEST DAY IN THE INDIAN DEMOCRACY - the results of Lok Sabha Elections were out and surprisingly we ( Me and Abhisheek) couldnt find tempo and finally had to opt for the bus.

And here starts our journey, Disdained with not getting the tempo to travel back , we finally decided to take the bus . luckily we got the seat in the bus also (though it was the last row which shakes your ass like anything and with roads of UP ,U know what to expect).The bus soon started filling up with the passenger and in the no time it was like - no space to breath even , stinking sweat dripping down everyone's body and to add on the person sitting beside me kept on adding flavor to the air with his FARTS as if in the whole world he had the responsibility to fart.

Still the bus was to start. After 15 min of struggle the bus finally started off. It was hardly 1 Km that we could have traveled and there was a traffic JAM which was almost difficult to get through. A bus waited almost for 30 min in that jam, stand still with double the capacity of people packed in it, all dying for breath.

Here comes the Conductor of the Bus into the scene. As he came back to collect the tickets, one of the frustrated in the Crowd fired him with the question "are bhaiya tenu bus is route se kahe ko le li?" ( Why did you took the bus from this route ) and that was the trigger the whole crowded started showering the questions and questions to him - some scolding , some abusing and some requesting. Conductor somehow giving the excuse - " savri ko kahin se bhi le jao inhe dikat hoti hai " ( someone at the front had forced him to take the bus by this route) he also said " savari ko hi savri karni thi - karlo aab savri "....

And then finally a breakthrough after half an hour we got some to turn back and get to the alternate route.But for that we were required back to reach to the Delhi border from where we started and the other side of the road was no different from traffic( Rightly said about Indian Democracy--- UPA or NDA the corruption and bureaucracy will persist)

As was the day of Election results and the Indian people at their best being argumentative was no exception in the bus . Even in this weather people made out the enthusiasm discussing the polls and results of the elections, criticising , prasining each other and its like a topping if you get the people supporting to different parties in front of each. So was the case here, and we had a fulto faltu discussion- BHASAD(as we say it in IMT-G). It was really nice to enjoy. hearing the perspectives and mentalities of the people about very small small issues.

But still after an hour has passed we had been just able to reach back to over starting point. Everyone cursing the driver and conductor for the path they had taken .
Finally after 1hr 15 min we were on track (the alternative path ) and the rest of the journey went criticizing the Conductor , driver ( for his rash driving) and the Summer Training.....

And it the clock had just ticked 10 when i entered my room. Then i realized that it was the journey of honor to be in the WORLD's FASTEST BUS TRANSPORT......
