Looking Back…

…it was a long year…we’ve left the slaughter, the bloodbath, the history behind us...Sacres the shit out of me!

We’re in the middle of the worse that will be seen by the generations alive!

Chinup - keep looking forward, keep the cool…

On Mumbai Massacre

without comments

Yuvraj Singh was awarded Crores of Indian Rupees on hitting 6 sixes in an over.

Martyr Policeman’s families are being rewarded with 5L each for stepping up for the citizens.
This is announced by the same government which rewarded Ajit Agarkar and Rahul Sharma with 10L each for playing an integral part in India’s T20 victory…

Bastards…

LEH, Merrill

without comments

Yesterday was the worst day ever in Investment Banking history.

Feel sad about all Leh employees. God forbid I would never like to be in that position.

Merrill did the right thing in the form of a merger and at a premium is perfect for them…

Yesterday…noted in the book!

Up again!

without comments

I’ve had a number of encounters with blogging and I’ve realized that I’m pretty bad at it. In spite of putting n blogs in trash I thought…why not another one…

This time I call it Bank Holiday. This popped up in my head because for (4.4 pi) time of the week I just wait for them!

Anyway, moving on…since my readers were updated last, my life has undergone quite a few significant changes.

Personal front: I got married (I was disappointed as well!)…and ironically ever since then I’m enjoying bachelorhood again (as my better half thought doing an MBA is better than living with me! )
Meanwhile, MBA and I were running in different directions it seems, each year I comfortably convince myself to apply next year.

Professionally: I decided to move from Managing of Risk to Risk Taking (?) of interest rate exotics…it’s fun…is all I can say! There are quite a few things that a trading floor can teach you in life…albeit in a very sophisticated way…no mincing of words, nothing personal yet so blunt and of course swear words work like a charm.

Generally: the usual stuff…

Hopefully more later!
