Post No. 1


There are many times I think that India is lost forever. There can be nothing good coming out of this country for any foreseeable amount of time. I have seen it fail, fail and time and again fail. There seem to be no response – learning or otherwise – in the way India seems to approaches these failures. It is however completely oblivious to the fact that its ass it currently hanging in the air and everybody in the world is laughing at it. It’s really sad that India has stooped to such a low menial level from once such a great country.

But it is all fine, and I am here to tell you the blunt fact. I don’t see it changing. I don’t see it growing. I don’t see it learning. I don’t see it any better than any of you out there. I don’t see any future for this country and many billions here. However for my sake and all yours too, I sincerely hope I am wrong. And there is a tiny miracle – a drop of it maybe – that can probably revive this comatose nation to what we fantasically call our glorious heritage.

The fall from grace of this nation continues every day. And seems to encapsulate every form of life that we can probably think of. But it is here that we are totally lost in space cheering for the falling India.

Going forward I would like to give an unbiased hard hitting highly opinionated verily biased and highly unbiased take of things as I see it. I don’t expect much to happen, but then again I always believe in miracles.

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Value of dollar - Part 1

A Simple Perspective Will Do The date is 2000-05-28. Don't you get tired of all the bad news bears reminding you of all these instabilities, excesses, and 'potential' tensions in the global economy? After all, hasn't it always been like that? Yes it has, but not in money it hasn't. Increasingly, investors find it harder to know where to put their savings. What about Government Bonds? Wrong. Their recent record of capital losses have wiped out your guaranteed yields, probably because the stock market keeps crowding them out, and this even in a strong dollar and low inflation environment. Furthermore, there is no reliable liquidity and potentially poor quality debt in the corporate sector. Foreign assets? Wrong. Most of the world's economies are riskier, have been under performing, and also, there is this thing called currency risk. Like how is the average person gonna cope with currency...

Depreciation of British Pound 1900-2000

When the Bank of England was formed the powers to create money was finally transferred to private hands. The creation of Fed in US, was just a part of this cycle. Though it is a common knowledge US Dollar has depreciated nearly 100% since the creation of Federal Reserve, the same is the case of all the currencies across the globe. For example, below is the UK Parliament data that highlights the depreciating value of Pound.
