PSG and Chandrayan

My Alma mater PSG has contributed heavily with Dr.Annadurai, working for Chandrayan -I.

PSG is no small institute! One of the greatest!

But the problem could be the students don't help each other! (living in a practical world)

Fake Marriage!

Fake marriage!

My wife's cousin, had a fake marriage in a temple, to get the UK visa fast...

And this got registered too! I h ope they saw the nice Muhurtha timings!

Real truth, the fiance guy, wants to save few thousand pounds tax in year 2008... as the real marriage is slated during Feb 2009!

LOL!

Now the husband (1) guy, will travel alone to UK, leaving his wife back, and would return to get really married and take her to UK!

Grapevine says, that this marriage was fixed in these unforeseen market timings, to ensure that the girl get a foreign life!

Todays Trend - November 6th, 2008

Yesterday the knee jerk reaction as warned, took the prediction off gaurd.

Today as well the financial decisions of the banks in India would take a toll..

No investments now.

Markets would be sideways. 2950 to 3000 levels for NIFTY.

Accumulate IT stocks.

Obama's victory to help India

I congratulate on Obama's victory.

I had predicted earlier with a time of McCain concede of the US Presidency in this blog. ;-)

Nevertheless the Clintonish Electoral Score of 370 - 168 is mind bloggling.

So what is it in for India?

First of all all the colored folks can take pride.

Secondly, we should hope what Bush perceived us as threat, as the 123 treaty to be continued with vigor and not force the CTBT. I can see my brother and red folks laughing now!

Long live American democracy! I hope I get lots of benefits from this victory!

Todays trend - November 5th, 2008

With American Election results underway, showing a clear trend for Obama, stock market should rally!

Yesterday's prediction was on dot, it was sideways till afternoon, and certain press meets with PC turned the tide and market closed above 3100. The opening was below Mondays levels.

Today it should hover around 3200 levels till around 3 PM, and last minute buying should per up the market to 3300 levels.

Book profits in the evening. Exit, Realty stocks.

IT stocks will be in limelight. Small cap IT stocks would swing up. FMCG will swing up!

Long term - Hold on to Bluechips, that were bought since August 2006 and expected it to reach the peak again in next 18 to 24 months.

Ranji Trophy Scores

Many leading websites are not providing the updated scores of the local teams in India, playing the Ranji Trophy. Sad scene!

We need volunteers, to update the scene of Cricket in Tamilnadu and update about all the matches that are played....

Today Mukul Anand hit a triple century!

M Vijay and Mukul Anand had a record partnership for first wicket, and fell short of national record by 4 runs. (3 runs less than OR)

*****

Tamilnadu has been in Ranji finals for 5 times and won once in 87-88! K Srikkanth would remember!

Also Madras participated 4 times in the finals.

USA Election Fever

There was a village that woke up till midnight to vote for the next President!

Great Dixville Notch!.

Obama won, hands down, thumping.

Super shot, I would say, garnering 15 of the 21 votes cast!

Dixville Notch in New Hampshire, is a small village, with a population of 75 only, with no MacDonald's or Burger King or Dunkin Donuts!

Seasons Greetings!

Seasons Greetings to all!

Todays Trend November 3, 2008

Today you can expect a delayed rally, even though the cut by RBI should give some fillip.

Note that there was like 8% overall rally in Index stocks on Friday!

Nifty should hover about 2% more till 2 PM, and after that can/should close slightly above.

Biotechnology, FMCG and IT stocks would be hot!

You can book profits on the Public Sector stocks.

You can check this site, for the Asian trend.

Anil Kumble retires from International Cricket

Anil Kumble retired from Cricket (tests) today. Sad scene. Surprised.

I knew the moment he got hurt, he would quit. The test scene starts late next year. AMit Mishra and Piyush Chawla are bowling well.

So who is in line next?

Ganguly plays in Nagpur and would later concentrate on IPL alone. I hope Kumble does well in that too!

Dravid, Laxman, and Tendulkar are in queue over the next 2 years!

BTW, the 3rd Test match ended in a tame draw, with final hour dynamics of Kumble!

Koffee with Anu - Cho and Mouli - November 1st, 2008

This week Koffee with Anu was a good one with Cho and Mouli !

Cho is blatant - a man who is constantly searching his identity. I did like his liking to ex CM Jayalalithaa.. and his comments. He was not fair. May be thats his brahminical style?

Mouli is too good. I have met him once in Bangalore Airport (when he told he is more of a stage artist), true all his movies were like that!

"Saar irukkaana?" Cho's punch, and the yearning for the long time high flier status!

He is open about the soft corner for BJP and Hindutva.....

Suprising to know about Cho Ramaswamy's dad was a farmer, and who won a govt. award! (coveted?)

Time capsule joke (he mentions that after 400 years or so, people would believe that he wrote the Constitution of India).

The friendship between Cho and Mouli was imminent.

Thanks to Vijay TV, as they are listening to me for bringing in slightly better guests, other than the Cinema guys!

Next is me?
