there are so many new things that I want to share over here..the most important one is that I am getting married very soon(19th june).
another is an update that i got final calls from all the IIMs except IIMA, so I’ll be joining IIMB 🙂
I am already out of my job, so these days I am absolutely free and thus I am into too many things.
listing them in order of priority –
Trading – these days the rate at which I am looking at or hearing of or maybe thinking of Sensex and Nifty is definitely more than my heart beat itself. I just entered it on this Monday and look the market is already down by around 400 points from then. I have currently invested in Unitech, ZEE, CINEMAX and Power India Finance(probably the weakest link) and making losses in tune of 5- 10% in each of these stocks. Don’t worry I have invested hardly 5-6k till now, so the losses are not more than 300-400Rs. Hoping to come in green very soon. 🙂
Web Site:- It was on highest priority before this trading bug got me. I am planning to roll out some lessons on quants. i mean an online resource of not only questions but also for theory in very lucid form supported with great and hand picked examples. I know its tough and I hardly have any time left to do so in near future..but I am still trying , still figuring out the right pattern and flow.
Body Building:- It has been more than 3 months since I joined the Gym, its another thing that my attendance over there is not that great(maybe 50-60%). but still I have gained a lot of muscles.. the only sad factor is that my stomach muscles have also joined the party, so the tummy has slowly but surely started to bulge out of T-shirts.
my advice to everyone is to focus on cardio, I almost stopped any cardio to save some time after initial 10-15 days, it may be boring when compared to weight training but its very useful..it will help in melting some fat so that all the form is visible in those newly building muscles(and obviously it will keep the tummy in check)
Serials – I am guilty of watching a lot of tv programs these days..during day time its business channels, late night its news channel and in between I don’t mind watching a “Saathi Re”(9:00 pm, Star One) or even “Teen Bahuraanian”(10:30 Zee Tv) and I am feeling a bit too embarrassed but I don’t mind watching even “Jab Love Hua”(11:00 Zee TV), apart from this some weekend shows like SaReGaMa or Antakshari(Star One – m not sure about the kids series .. but this one was very good) or Indian Idol and Laughter Challenge -3.
So you know what I am doing most of the time these days..m glued to the idiot box.
Coaching – I am also working in PT as a guest faculty .. have only taken 3 classes till now .. but whenever i have a class I do enjoy the experience.
Sketching – its a long time dream to be able to make sketches. I have got hold on some good books and now i am trying hard to get some time for that.
Shaadi Prep – its again a huge task. apart frm all shoppings of Sangeeta in which I have to give her company like a dummy of her future husband(I don’t like this kinda expensive shopping..kinda miser you know :), n then I really don’t like the idea of wasting 3 hours of time..unwinding! and I mean unwinding so many shops, walking from on end of a street to another just to get something 200 Rs cheaper or maybe coz the blue pearls used in a saree were not that much in sync..uff) I have to buy something for myself as well.
tried hard but could not buy a Sherwaani, could not convince myself for spending 8-10k for those embroided kurtaas. I will try to buy smthing cheaper from Agra itself.
there are other things as well..like currently I am in between of at least 4 books(Freakonomics, It happened in India, Loosing my Virginity(Richard branson) and The Clocks.
I hope you can imagine the whole picture, I am having absolute free time since this monday..but still I can always complicate things and have a habit of taking more on my plate then what I can eat(though literally in this case I end up eating whatever I took ..hence the tummy 🙂 )
and I am thoroughly enjoying all this confusion, panic and uncertainty.
