Saturday, June 13, 2009. Derivatives - The sophisticated satta market. Had my first class of financial derivatives (FD for short) today. The prof went gaga over how they are instruments for hedging risks as well as their random use for speculation. We were introduced to the various forms of derivatives in the forms of forwards, futures, options and swaps with the introduction session focussed on the first two. Why is speculating on stocks allowed and this termed illegal? And the argument of gambling does...

Sunday, January 27, 2013. Expectation, one's life is just reduced to satisfying expectations. Be it school, college or a job, one is always satisying expectations of one's parents, friends or colleagues. Why can't i do what I want? Why am I afraid? I hate my job, I rather wan't to do something that makes me happy. But I cannot do so. I am expected to earn and that too handsomely and live a happy life. but that is not what I want? That is not what will keep me happy? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, April 23, 2009. The world is expanding. The world is expanding. Or atleast Bengaluru is. That is what the autowaalahs will make u believe. I have taken an auto from IIMB to my office on 4 occasions and the fare reported was Rs 71, 85, 91 and 99. Now how can it be so if u take the same route unless the world is expanding. And this is not thermal expansion also coz Bangalore is pretty cooler than other areas. Sunday, April 12, 2009. Why Not to be an I banker. Still i would not have minded it all ...

Monday, December 22, 2008. Finance in tough times. Financial Management 1- what a hell. I agree that the financial situation is bad and there is a dearth of good jobs in the finance sector. But does this mean that we the students should be discouraged from taking it up as a major by our very own professors. What else can explain the exam that i gave today. I will have my revenge! Saturday, December 20, 2008. I hoped things would be better this time but alas! The next three were absolutely horrible. O...

Thursday, March 12, 2009. The Holi Special - Who am I? Date - 11th March 2009. Venue - IIMK, Kerala. Also the India - New Zealand was underway with Sehwag in an awesome form. Match was closely followed via cricinfo during the class and then seen in the mess after 12 (barring the too frequent rain breaks ). Had a special lunch organised for the occassion but it was a dud. The food didn't taste too different from the awful food we get everyday except the sweetdish. Saturday, March 7, 2009. BBQ night @ K1.

Thursday, July 30, 2009. CB blog 1- Primary education. The primary needs of food, clothing and shelter have also created the need for education. Anyone who wants to succeed in today's life needs to education as a stepping stone (baring a few exceptions - in which case too these people had more of practical learning than committing themselves to higher studies). But can these actually teach you parenting? Now an arguments arises - Is it fair to push your kid into the rat race so early? Given the supply-de...

Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Had another interesting Consumer Beahviour class today. The topic of discussion was motivation. What exactly leads a consumer to buy a product? What does he actually look in a product and how marketers exploit this? Some say these ads show negativity and then the use of the fairness product leads to positive results. Well isn't this same as showing an add for healthcare products? Well to counter this trend there are some ads like Dove's campaign for self esteem which talks about...
