Why bother?!


Ok, time to tackle the big question.

No its not about literacy, economy, health or castesism or whatever nonsense of the problems that prevails and besets this country. It the fundamental one that every one of us have asked and I now ask here.

What the hell should I do?

And before you think I will pontificate on anything, let me make it very clear – I don’t know. I got nothing, guys! So I will spare you the details and stick to why I even (started) to write a blog about this.

Point 1 and only point. This is not out of love or respect of you guys. (I love you all, btw. No reason to hate you unless you can comment on why I should hate you J). The reason I write these (or plan to write) is only one thing – out of sheer sheer frustration of how miserable the conditions are for the majority of the people. How miserable the conditions remain despite such lavish lifestyles of few.

I will try and put across my thoughts as and when I think I need a verbal vomit to ease the congestion in my chest. Believe me the tears of others drive me mad. And whats is more maddening, drilling-for-the-nerve maddening, is the fact that I feel so helpless in doing anything about it.

The least I can do is talk about it. Not sure if it can cure anything at all. Nor do I care to see if it cures anything, but write to see how better I feel.

Net Neutrality - Fight for free expression

The "Net neutrality" issue, where we fear networks/infrastructure providers will decide (euphemism for censorship) what customers will read/watch/listen/buy on net. Many of the features that we fear in the "Net-neutrality" have already been implemented across various other platforms like telecom. For example, my telecom service provider has blocked the competitors GPRS sites and also does not allow access to many other sites on Internet, from where the free goodies like mobile applications, software, games, wallpapers, tones etc can be downloaded. This leaves me with the only service provider for above products, the service provider himself. This is totally blocking my freedom and my right to choose. This is just a glimpse; with "Net-neutrality" issues at stake are enormous. There should be no way; any entity (maybe, other than individual governments.) should be able to determine what is accessible and what is not. :) Falkor

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
