Spotted these two rather well done ads starring Dhoni.

As you are aware, I have been busy with loads of work for the last few weeks and as part of that I have come to Dublin today morning for a short visit. Would be back to Chennai to read Hindu Sunday Magazine this weekend. Hopefully I will get sometime to click and write about […]

You might say, “heh, but the parking space costs”, but why charge all of them when some of them eventually make profits for the retailer. Thats exactly how Big Bazaar in […]

Stop doing what you are and go read Unleashing the Ideavirus by Seth Godin. Even if you have already read it, do it again. It helps keeping your mind alive. My plans to start Calvin Fund are slightly delayed, thanks to my forgetful finger, I lost my login password at the trading site and would […]

Come Ferbruary, every fund house worth its NAV comes up with a hoard of ELSS / Tax planning mutual fund offerings and promotions. These days you open any (business) magazine and you see atleast a dozen ads on how MFs can save you Rs. 33,360* or something on taxes. First up the claim that they […]

Most of my classmates and friends have started purchasing houses.

My stay here is coming to an end in the weekend. I would be back in Chennai to read Metroplus with a sip of strong decoction coffee on Monday morning. Aah, the joys of coffee and news. Even though I am not here as a tourist I could see quite a few places and interact […]

Its been a couple of days since I have arrived here. Some of the first impressions about the city. The trees here are amazing. They change colours every season.
