When there is guff ups by our officials we write, blame and decry but when they indulge in one up man ship we fail to acknowledge
An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly that made the world community smile.
A representative from India began: `Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Rishi Kashyap of Kashmir, after whom Kashmir is named. When he struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought, `What a good opportunity to have a bath.` He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Pakistani had stolen them.`
The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and shouted, `What are you talking about? The Pakistanis weren`t there then.`
The Indian representative smiled and said, `And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech. `And they say Kashmir belongs to them................................................
This is one mail I recommend to be shared with `ALL INDIANS`....... including the world at large. I received the e=mail from a friend.
I have hear "Humor in uniform but little good humor in diplomacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers.

Yesterday I just got carried away listening to Ultra BULLish views when small PUMP was requested for! :) lol
Just a BS thought: As BIG BULL has not worked very hard, as part of small PUMP, instead of 5050, DELAYed test match instead of 20 20 BS GAME need to be planned keeping 4900 as UPPER cap ! :)
It is strange to read sometime a BS view that Nokia shares if listed in India would get 50 USD where as same thing is around 14 USD! :) No wonder, India Public is SUCKed like SUCKers! :)
Just like I like politicians with swiss accounts, same way, I like local puppets just like those used to be in Old Brtish Empire to Mughul Empire! :) As Indian history shows that no wonder, Insiders put a country on TOSS, not outsiders! :)
Mera India Mahan!
Gud luk & happy investing! :)

India`s economy seen growing over 7 per cent in 2009/10: PM
India`s economy should grow more than 7 per cent in the fiscal year 2009/10 and return to a 9 per cent annual growth rate in two years, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in a prepared speech on Sunday.
"Despite the global economic slowdown, we hope to achieve growth rate of over 7 per cent in the current financial year," Singh said in a speech prepared for a business gathering in Saudi Arabia.
"We expect to get back to the growth level of about 9 per cent per annum within two years," he said.
India`s economy grew by 6 per cent in the fourth quarter through December from a year earlier, the government said on Friday.
India`s economy grew 6.7 per cent in 2008/09, slower than 9 per cent or more in the previous three years.

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art..
When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.
About a month later, just before Christmas,
There was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands..
He said, `Sir, you don`t know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly... He often talked about you, and your love for art.` The young man held out this package. `I know this isn`t much. I`m not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.`
The father
Opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture.. `Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It`s a gift.`
The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.
The man died a few months later.. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.
On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. `We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?`
There was silence..
Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, `We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.`
But the auctioneer persisted. `Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?`
Another voice angrily. `We didn`t come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh`s, the Rembrandts.. Get on with the
Real bids!`
But still the auctioneer continued. `The son! The son! Who`ll take the son?`
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. `I`ll give $10 for the painting...` Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.
`We have $10, who will bid $20?`
`Give it to him for $10. Let`s see the masters.`
The crowd was becoming angry. They didn`t want the picture of the son.
They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.
The auctioneer pounded the gavel. `Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!`
A man sitting on the second row shouted, `Now let`s get on with the collection!`
The auctioneer laid down his gavel. `I`m sorry, the auction is over.`
`What about the paintings?`
`I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.
The man who took the son gets everything!`

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.
SON: `Mummy, may I ask you a question?`
MUM: `Yeah sure, what it is?` replied the woman.
SON: `Mummy, how much do you make an hour?`
MUM: `That`s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?` the woman said angrily.
SON: `I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?`
MUM: `If you must know, I make R 50 an hour.`
SON: `Oh,` the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: `Mummy, may I please borrow R25?`
The mother was furious, `If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don`t work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.`
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door..
The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy`s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down , and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that R25.00 and she really didn`t ask for money very often.The woman went to the door of the little boy`s room and opened the door.
`Are you asleep, son?` She asked.
`No Mummy, I`m awake,` replied the boy.
`I`ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier` said the woman. `It`s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here`s the R25 you asked for.`
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. `Oh, thank you Mummy!` he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.
`Why do you want more money if you already have some?` the mother grumbled.
`Because I didn`t have enough, but now I do,` the little boy replied.
`Mummy, I have R50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.`
The mother was crushed. She put his arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.
It`s just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that R50 worth of your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
Long Time Friend
A while ago, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with
this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special niche. My parents were complementary instructors: Mom taught me
good from evil, and Dad taught me to obey. But the stranger...he was our storyteller.He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies.
If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always knew the answers about the past,understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! He took my family to the first major league
ball game. He made me laugh, and he made me cry.
The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn`t seem to mind.Sometimes, Mom would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing each other to listen to what he had to say,and she would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet (I
wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave)
Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the stranger never felt obligated to honour them.
Profanity, for example, was not allowed in our home...Not from us, our friends or any visitors. Our long-time visitor, however, got away with four-letter words
that burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush.
My Dad didn`t permit the liberal use of alcohol.But the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly and
pipes distinguished.
He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex. His comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive,and
generally embarrassing.
I now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the stranger.Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents,yet he was seldom rebuked... And NEVER asked to leave.
More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended right in and is not
nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, ifyou could walk into my parents` den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures.
His name?....
We just call him `TV.`
(Note: This should be required reading for every household!)
He has a wife now....We call her
`Computer.`
Their first child`s name
`Cell Phone`.
and Second child is called
`I Pod`

An old prospector shuffled into the town of El Indio , Texas leading an old tired mule.
The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town, to clear his parched throat.
He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there,
brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon
with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at
the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?" The old man looked up
at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to."
A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you`re gonna` dance now,"
and started shooting at the old man`s feet. The old prospector, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started
hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.
When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and
turned around to go back into the saloon. The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun,
and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped
laughing immediately. The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly.
The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer
and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels. The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in
the old man`s hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule`s ass?"
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir..... but... I`ve always wanted to."
PS:There are a few lessons for us all here:
*
Never be arrogant.
*
Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
*
Don`t mess with old men, they didn`t get old by being stupid.

BTW,
Since question about Old civilisation going the same way wrt to India has broader perspective, so it may be a good idea to check one of popular msg floating around for fun / joke and a reality check!
***
An American visited India and went back to America Where he met his Indian friend who asked him
How did u find my Country
The American said it is a great country
With solid ancient history And immensely rich with natural resources.
The Indian friend then asked.
How did u find Indians??
Indians??
Who Indians??
I didn`t find or met a single Indian there in India.
What nonsense??
Who else could u met in India then??
The American said..
In Kashmir I met a Kashmiri
In Punjab a Panjabi
In Bihar, Maharastra, Rajasthan, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala
Bihari, Marathi, Marwadi, Bengali, Tamilian, Malayali
Then i met
A Hindu,
A Muslim,
A Christian,
A Jain,
A Buddhist
And many many many more
But not a single Indian did i meet
Think how serious this joke is..
The day would not be far off when indeed we would
Become a collection of nation states as some
Regional anti-national politicians want...
Fight back -
Always say i am Indian

Just like Shrewd Politicians, shrewd businessmen behave the same way wrt TOSS of Public and Free Public Money! :) lol
Similar BS GAMEs, similar BS Traps! :)

dear old gold
this share in last october was trading at 58.36 because i purchased at this rate in oct only 300 shares after wards started studying on this share but i sold this 300 at79 in nov last week
then they announced split and bonus
then again i started purchasing in each dip from dec and i collected 10k
now it has become 40 k and average is 17rs
before bonus book value was 53 now it is 14.50
after getting split and bonus all week hands started selling portion of their holding other wise there is no other reason for a fall like this
if we persume that promotor holding is still 50 percent
floating stock will be 3crores 32 lacks share
but now volume has come dwon on an average ilack 20 thousands total stock is 6 crores.64 lacks and delivery volume is around 70 percent
this indicates that somebody is accumulating because small investors alone can not take 70 percent delivery
what i expect is their coming first quarter sales will touch 300 crores minimum and a minimum profit of 15 crores so e.p.s will cometo 2.26 industrial average is above 5 so if you annulise this eps it will clock an eps of 9 so the price will be 45rs minimum
this is my minimum calculation
but as per c.eo he is expecting more than my calculation which he was claiming durig an interview to rediff money before few days
another thing i noticed is this share will be subdued till nov and after their 6 months result is out it will start going up
last year also it happened
since they are having clean energy section they will get incencitive also from goi
there is 200 crore allocation to tirupur textile unit in budget textile industry will grow
this company has started functioning the sez in surat and they have tied up all of their finished goods with 26 enterpenure so all will be sold in surat its self
so i decided to for long term because promotors are having agressive mood to diversify and further expansion in wind energy and textile industry (which they are having all ready)
my feeling is this is one small capital share to accumulate and keep for long term
after all it is up to the investors to decide
disclaimer i am holding this share and this is not a buy call
