Who am I ? (Part 2)

Once again I wonder,
Who am I ?
Someone, somewhere,
Just another guy?
A dreamy explorer, or
An exploring dreamer;
Or sitting motionless like
A disinterested viewer?
Like a flowing river,
Charting its own course,
Or a stagnating pond,
Choking at its source?
Like those high mountains,
Kissing the infinite sky,
Or those large stretches of land,
Endless and dry?
Or a resident of two worlds -
Each with its own ordeal
One world uninhabitable,
The other one unreal?

19 financial mistakes to avoid in 2019

You can also read this on BeingFinWise ___ As the new year begins, I wish everyone a very Happy New Year.  I am hoping that this year, I'll make better financial decisions & hopefully people reading this will also do so. One good first step can be to avoid making bad financial decisions and keep improvising.  Here are some financial mistakes one can do well to avoid in 2019 (in no particular order): Spending more than what you earn. ( Rule # 1 of personal finance !) Not investing the saved money, and letting it be idle in savings bank account or worse, as physical cash. Taking debt like personal loans or keeping credit card outstanding - consequently unsustainably living in present with your expected future income. (with an inflated cost, thanks to high interest rate!) Leveraging/ borrowing for speculating (speculations often masquerading as investments, e.g.  speculating in stocks, or worse, derivatives, crypto currencies etc.) Not having...

Obama mania

Now that the whole world is going gaga over Barack Obama being elected as the next US President, and that too with an overwhelming majority here goes few points of my analysis of his victory and related things! I think that the reasons of his victory were much more than just what their repective views on different social, economic and international issues were. They did play a role, but I think that wasn't the only factor that led him to victory. I think the two major factors were - 1. General dissatisfaction with George Bush on issues ranging from Iraq to Economy. This was bound to have some disatisfaction with the Republican candidate and thus swing in favor of the Democrat whoever the candidate have had been. 2. Most important factor contributing to his victory was quite symbolic. His victory symbolized hope; hope for the many people who struggle against the odds, and the victory of this hope which Obama symbolized. Seeing the meteoric rise of an Afro American and he occupying t...

"On a break"

As mentioned in my previous post, of late I haven't been able to gather sufficient motivation or energy to make posts on this blog. Hence I am going on a self imposed exile from the blogosphere for some time. In other words I am "On a Break" This some time may last for few hours, few days or maybe few months. It depends upon when one fine day I gather sufficient motivation to type what is there inside my head and post things on the blog!!! Hoping to get alive soon on this blog! __ "Life is an infinite, non-converging exponential series of random irreversible screw ups of ever increasing magnitudes one after another "

The God Delusion

Just finished reading 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins, a book I wished to read since quite some time. A good read for those who wish to list arguments about non-existence of god or any such superpower. One of the reasons I liked it was that the ideas and views presented in it were quite similar to the ones I hold (although they were presented more in depth and much more articulately than I could have ever dreamt of myself) about god, omnipotence of god, religion, morality etc. A recommended read for those who wish to read arguments for atheism and for religious people or believers who wish to know 'the other side' , although I don't think it convincing enough to convert a priest into an atheist! Meanwhile, I am planning to start reading 'Fooled by Randomness' by Nicholas Taleb soon!
