How Indian are you ??

I wake up in morning by alarm from my Casio (Japanese) clock.
I go to washroom and brush my teeth with Close up (Uniliver, British parentage) toothpaste and
Oral B toothbrush (American).
I change into my Adidas (German) tracksuit and Nike (American) shoes for a morning walk. Not forgetting to take pure and clean water from my Philips (Dutch) water purifier, I do mix some Tang(by Kraft food, USA) to it for that extra energy.
I love listening to my I Pod (American) when I walk.
Done with the walk, I am back. I use Gillette Mach3 (American) razor and gel for shave and Dove (Uniliver) body wash for bathing
I come out of wash room and wear my Lotto (Italian) slippers.
I switch on my HP (American) laptop.
I have Kellogg’s (American) corn flakes in Nestle (Swiss) milk with some Australian apples and Kiwi fruit in my breakfast.
Ok, time to get ready for my office, I only wear Arrow (American) shirts and trouser (they are wrinkle free) when it comes to formal dressing.
I drive my Getz (Korean) car. I never regret having Kenwood (Japanese) music system installed in my car; the music is so crisp and clean.
I reach my office building sharp at 9, ofcourse it’s exactly 9 you can see it on my Rado (Swiss) watch.
Oh Jesus, this heat I tell you, it’s just killing me, thank god my office building is centrally air-conditioned by Carrier(American), and even the Otis (American) elevator is air-conditioned.
I don’t really like my boss though he did one good thing by installing this big 50 inch Panasonic (Japanese) plasma display in office for our entertainment. Actually “dislike” is not the correct word for my boss, it’s more of envy. I envy his Mercedes (German) car, his Omega (Swiss) watch, his Versace (Italian)suits, his Vertu (British based Finnish owned)phone, his B&O(Danish) music system, his Mac Book Pro (American), his Canon (Japanese) SLR camera and so on.
Ok time to work, call my head office in Japan, do some talking on my Sony (Japanese)phone, dial some more number do some more talking and that’s it I’ve made enough dollars(American) for my owners. Coffee time, I will have a black café latte from Barista (currently owned by Lavazza, Italy) with Fish O Fillet from Mc Donald (American).
Lunch, I just love Chinese.
One more coffee at 3 pm, and it’s time to wrap up. Some fake sweet talk with Boss and I am out at 1630(my office timing is 0830 to 1730). am I smart or what?
Ok, now it’s time to take care of life. Freshen up, change to my favourite Levis (American) 501 and Hanes (American) white T shirt.
She is the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen ( I swear its true) specially when she wears that L’OREAL(French) lip gloss, that black Gucci (Italian)dress and Louis Vuitton (French) Bag, Fendi ballet with Chanel No. 5(Paris) lingering around her( I prefer Eternity(American) over Chanel). Don’t imagine too much, she is my wife for God sake!!!
We love eating out (she does cook occasionally in our fully Italian Marbled kitchen that has got state of the art Faber cooking range and appliances). This New Mexican food joint in next block is really good and they do have some really good French wine, even though I don’t really like wine. For me it’s only Black Label (Scotland) nothing else, but all this will come later first a nice Hollywood (American)flick.
11:45pm: Oh that was a long day; time to hop on to my Panasonic (Japanese) massage chair.
Oops its midnight, time for bed; I love my king size Gautier (French) bed. Good Night.

snory glory

Do you have a spouse or a roommate who snores? You are in luck!!

New research has found that if a certain sound plays while someone is learning something, and then that same sound plays while the person is sleeping, the person will remember better whatever he/ she was learning.

The experiment itself sounds rather simplistic :

In a study published online Thursday by the journal Science, researchers taught people to move 50 pictures to their correct locations on a computer screen. Each picture was accompanied by a related sound — meow for a cat, whirring for a helicopter, for example.

Then, 12 subjects took a nap, during which 25 of the sounds were played along with white noise as they slept. When they awoke, none realized that the sounds had been played or could guess which ones had been used. Yet, almost all remembered more precisely the computer locations of the pictures associated with the 25 sounds that had been played while they slept, doing less well placing the other 25 pictures.

So  you’re wondering now – how does this help you?  Should you leave the TV on while sleeping?  Should you play music CDs all night long?  Or should you record background office chatter and play it to yourself through the night?

Those might all be good ideas (or not).  Obviously, they all seem to involve electricity and contribute to greenhouse gases.  And why go through all that trouble when you have a ready-made noise generator?  Yes, you’re right, that’s your snoring spouse/ roomie.

So here’s my idea – simply start reading after your favorite snorer starts noise-generating.  After a few hours, when you go to sleep, the noise-generator will still be going strong.   But now, the snores are essentially a playback of the sounds you heard while reading, so, according to the research, they should help your brain playback whatever you read about, and improve your memory.

Great idea, you think?  Hey, there must be some benefit to listening to all those snores!

ROSY SMS scam...

So Guys, am back to my blog with the thing I learnt today.

This was shared by one of my friends and I think it really makes sense to know such stuff.
Itz about stocks....the equity market and even if u guys ain't that interested, am sure this knowledge won't go waste...

Herez a classic example of legal stock scam which many of the listed companies carry out and move around without any damages.

Hordes of innocent Investors are trapped in such scams everyday.

The Modus Operandi:


XYZ Stock Traded @ 100 Level On the stock Exchange With a Low Volume.
Share Capital                     : 50 Lacs Shares.
Operator/Owner Holding     : 47.50 Lacs Shares
Public Holding                    : 2.5 Lac Shares

This particular stock always moves in a narrow range daily @ 100 - 110 with hardly any movement.We never hear any News About Such Stock Because Of the Low Public Holding.


Now The promoter/Owner Of the company who want to Exit From Such a Stock would be required To Create Some Volume In the Stock trading.
As the history goes, Stock Split Is Best Way Of Creating Volume.

The Company Announces Stock Split.

Split In The Ratio Of 10 : 1
After Split Share Capital             : 5 Crore Shares
After Split Operator/Owner Hold : 4.75 Crore Shares
Public Holding                            : 25 Lac Shares

After Split Stock Trades @ 10 - 12 Rs. Range For Quite Some Time.

Now the Real Game Begins

After Stock Split, the promoter first Moves the Stock Price from 10 To 14 in a few Trading Sessions Just to Attract Investors.{ Its a Very Easy task As the promoter/Owner Holds Almost 95% Of Share Capital}
After Hitting 2 - 3 Upper Circuit's Almost All Traders/Investors Are Talking about this stock and are attracted.

This time the Price would be Hovering Around 15 - 16 For a couple of Trading Sessions.

Now the promoter/owner purchases Bulk SMS From the Provider who are Easily Available On the Net.
The Rate Of BULK SMS Is Around 0.03 Paisa Per SMS.
If Operator Purchases 1 Crore SMS From the SMS Provider Then Its Cost Would Be Around

10000000 * 0.03 = 3 Lacs

After Purchasing BULK SMS Service. they Collect Mobile # Data Of Stock Traders and Investors and Demat account holders which again is easily available.
Once they are ready with the data, they create a Very rosy SMS Suggesting  a strong BUY CALL ON XYZ Stock.

Example Of SMS :

BUY BUY BUY XYZLTD. @ MARKET PRICE Of 16 Target In 1 Month Is 30.
Once in a lifetime opportunity... Dont Miss The Stock.
BUY in Small Quantity Of 300 - 500 Shares , Dont Miss The Opportunity.

Sender : TM - ***** , AD - *****
{ Sender Is Always Unknown }

They Send This To Almost 25 Lacs investors.

And Then IN Next 3 - 4 Trading Days the promoters Send the Same SMS To Those Mobile User 3 - 4 Times.
25 Lacs Users * 4 Times Same Sms = 1 Crore SMS { Which was Purchased From Web SMS Services }

Some Rough Calculation :

Stock Operator Sent Rosy SMS To 25 Lacs User { 4 Times }

1. Only 70 % Mobile User Read The SMS.Rest 30% Deleted Without Reading.
2500000 * 70 % = 1750000  No. Of Users Who Read SMS = 17.50 Lacs

2. Only 25% Is Stock Traders/Investors From Those are interested( 17.50 Users )
1750000 * 25 % = 437500 Users


3. Only 30% From Interested Users  BUY this Stock.
No. Of Users Who May BUY : 437500 * 30 = 131250 Users


Usually the Investors After Reading Such SMS BUY Only 300 - 400 Shares.They Think of Taking A Small Risk.As a human nature, everyone Is Greedy and Wants To Double Money In a Short time
Usually Experienced Traders/Investors Also BUY As They Think "Zero Bhi Ho Gaya To Bhi Koi Vanda Nahi Hai" in the typical investors lingo..
In Greed Almost All Such Users Buy Small Quantity Of 100 - 500 Shares.
( Median Of Buying Qty Is Around 350 Shares }

Calculation Of Investors/Traders Who Bought Because Of the SMS :

131250 ( USERS ) * 350 ( Median Share Quantity ) = 45937500
{ Almost 4.50 Crore Shares }

Interesting Calculation
After Split Share Capital Of Company   : 5 Crore Shares

After Split Operator/Owner Holding     : 4.75 Crore Shares
After Split Public Holding                    : 25 Lac Shares


Effect of the ROSY SMS Scam

Operator/Owner Holding    :25 Lacs Shares
Public Holding                   :4.5 Crore Shares


After That Stock Price daily Comes Down n Down n Down n Down....since there are no more buyers for the stock!!

BEWARE ! of such Scams!

The Awakening...

Folks,

Have been thinking about the information revolution in the world today and everyday we are bombarded with soo much information. There are some things we learn..somethings we forget...somethings we wish to learn, but skips our mind in this daily grind..and somethings we learn, but ignore...
Each and every moment we think about infinite thoughts and possibilities, we have so many ideas which get lost in our muddled minds...and sometime on a lazy weekend, when you are relaxed and thinking about nothing, u suddenly get a feeling of deja-vu...u remember some thought which had crossed your mind before..and u resolve to do something about it...only to wake up the other day to be lost in the daily grind again..

So here I am , after losing a fortune over all the ideas I didn't write and all the knowledge I didn't store..that I woke up and thought about writing this as a blog.

I have decided to blog about any new thing which I would learn that day, or new idea which would cross my mind that day, however stupid it may sound. I hope someday I can earn a fortune out of one of these...Atleast they would serve as a knowledge repository for me..

Scientists are still reasearching on the waste papers on which Einstein scribbled..ain't they?
Why not give a structured blog to the scientists of the future ;-)

Your suggestions, ideas, thots, learnings are welcome..

Cheerios!
Sidd
