I am immensely happy today, for the stunner that happened at our prime stock markets – trading and investing is my religion. I was deeply pleasured on Saturday after the UPA’s clean sweep at the elections, much expected, and the gestures only catapulted today, raising even my happiness to upper circuits. I had a smile on my face whole of this morning and the feeling was like that of a student who had just topped the state in board exams – a merit ranker.
I am also delighted that my predictions about the election results and the market openings have seen an optimistic outcome. Many argued with me about the UPA coming to power, I looked dumb when I had no answers to some questions why UPA and not NDA. Yet, a gut feeling paid off well. I don’t want to be a BJPwadi and hence I am a Congresswadi, and also maybe because it comes from my father – a staunch congressman that he is. In my earlier blog, I had mentioned that I would prefer a UPA government for economic growth and stability over an extremist BJP led government. It was quite certain that BJP would be left behind (not expected so far behind), given the kind of getting-personal-propaganda they adopted.
So far, so good, I am cheerful that a stable government, not at the mercy of any eerie coalition, has come to power. I am elated that the Left has fallen flat on its face. I am at bliss that much of the mess has been cleaned off during this election. I sincerely thank the electorate who made all this possible.
The other day, on the evening of the elections result, a US returned guy argued about me siding by the Congress or UPA, for that matter. The point of discussion turned serious when I said that UPA is good for financial/economic growth, at least, and I can bet no other party or coalition is adept enough to combat other national issues that we face, maybe not even the Congress can handle terror issues efficiently as desired, for example. And then the conversation turned dirty, not qualified to be discussed here.
I want to make money and my feeling that UPA would help me do that has come true. I had some bets with my friends and relatives about UPA coming to power and I won all of them. So you see, the money making had already started, hail UPA :-)
And then the ultimate performance at the stock markets, all my CALLS (OPTIONS) are in rocketing profits. What happens next? I don’t know, but I did well, and I am happy.
Well, what next? May be 3 years down the line, Mr. Singh steps down from PM post and Rahul Gandhi takes over….wanna bet? ;-)
The weekend was bad, rather not so good; my back ache had buckled me to the bed, not allowing me to stay in one position for more than 4-5 minutes. I was surfing through the television channels lying on bed, and soon I noticed that I was doing nothing but going from 0 to 54 (that is the only number of channels I have on my television) and then again 0 to 54, and then again and again. I was tired watching that Indo-Pak terror debate, reality shows were irritating me, and I couldn’t handle any more breaking news with my broken back, neither was I interested in any kind of saas-bahu or the rona-dhona type of soaps, south Indian films dubbed in hindi were a big NO, I was in no mood for business news either, I had also had enough of Ghajini and Rab Ne trailors, songs, and reviews. I remember, only thing that possibly kept me glued to any particular channel was the advertisements – Limca (I love this ad for its jingle, the zing, and the babe, of course), Raymond, Bingo , few insurance
