Today I saw 2 articles where folks wept. One was Byju Raveendran. And the other is this push cart guy. Look at the self respect & pride in this man. Look at how he is holding back his tears. I’ve all my love and sympathy for this guy. Byju can go to hell.
Spoke to a lot of folks in the ORR- Bellandur-Marathalli-Whitefield-Mahadevapura belt. Everyone agrees that today’s traffic pile up is the worst ever they’ve faced. Ever. Take a bow

Udupi is beautiful. River on the right, Arabian Sea on the left, road in the middle stretching for 5 kms. Totally private beaches- each family occupying one section between the wave breakers. Thank God, it is not commercial or touristy yet!
I went to ICICI Bank on Friday and they offered me a product which is better than equity and MFs in returns and as safe as FDs. The RM assured it’s an investment product, not an insurance product. Turns out to be a ULIP!
HSBC settles actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi's case. Read the whole story to know the dark side of advisors, investment consultants, PMS firms. Not that everyone is bad but still investors need to keeps eyes open and stay actively engaged to cut losses.
Even if a project is RERA registered, doesn’t help much. It is turning into a toothless law which the builders are not scared of.

There is a definite increase in road rage cases in Bangalore. Am I the only one feeling it or is it proliferation of SM which is making it more visible now? A decade back even if a car touched a bike, the guy would turn, smile and wave the car off. Not any more.

Wow, what a story this chart tells. Card companies making 50% revenue via interest income. So much roll over of monthly dues happening? Thanks to such ‘geniuses’ some of us get unlimited free access to lounges and air miles without paying any annual fees. Keep it going bro!

Can you believe this? Insurance company produced a fake medical certificate to prove that a disease was pre-existing and therefore denied life insurance claim. And fined only 1 lakh on being caught. No words.
To all those who are defending the above issue by blaming on high immigration into the town, what’s your answer to the BLR-MYS highway getting flooded and washed away?
Nature has rightly exposed the tall claims of the new Blore Mysore Highway. It was always an unnecessary project. When will we understand that we are not a huge land mass like USA to encourage individual car transportation?
Just watch this video of a government teacher’s farewell and then think - how blessed the students and the teacher are to have each other. This is called making a difference to someone’s life.

Stand up comedy to webinar to podcast.
Scaring the shit out of so many who used to look forward to FIRE. Following your passion is one thing, loitering aimlessly is another.

Exactly the same feelings why I quit corporate life for good. It’s difficult to explain family and friends when you have salary which is running into 8 digits per annum.
Surprising that even in 2019 paying off loan continues to be no 10 priority, upgrading lifestyle & vacations have moved up while, retirement and health needs have gone down in priority.

Something is amiss AFAIK. AA can’t share account holder’s data with insurers like smoking behaviour (Rs 16/- transaction example). I’ll be worried if AA is allowed to dig & interpret transactions.
I, for one, not signing up for now with an AA.
Valid complaint. I guess the only counter railways can have for a higher fare is that in 2AC the toilets are used by lesser number of passengers in that coach. Rest all is same!

Key Fact Statements (KFS) net being widened by RBI is a very welcome move. Tireless work being done to improve transparency and ease of doing business. Never ending journey though!

1. Knew CAGR, IRR and XIRR. Now added MIRR. Makes logical sense.
2. NIFTY50 Index fund still so much better than all these creative products.
3. Retail customer should avoid complex products
IRR or MIRR - the answer can dramatically change your decision to invest. Nothing illustrates this better than the mouth-watering IRRs in 'asset leasing', which become kinda meh, when you see the MIRR (Modified Internal Rate of Return).
Asset leasing is a type of alternative
Here’s some quick observations from The Mint quilt over past 10 years across 10 asset classes. Feel free to add more-
1. Small Cap: 6/10 it has been in top half of performance. Rise being much more than the fall.

Amazing thread on one King who built so many temples across the country- Jaipur, Pushkar, Kashi, Puri, Cuttack, Patna to places which are now in Pakistan. India’s diverse history- kings who built 1000s of temples to rulers who destroyed them.
Naman to one of the greatest Hindu vaishnav kings of all time; Raja Man Singh on his punyatithi.
An astute general, a remarkable statesman & a gifted strategist, builder of Kashi Vishwanath & saviour of Puri Jagannath along with thousand other temples in subcontinent.

No Fintech will do anything for free. While there is no MDR as architecture and API is alert provided by NPCI, but remember that each of these companies are getting time off customer data including their purchase behaviours and then targeting them with products. No charity here.
