The Whiz’s Crucible

…a society where below the veneer of respectability there is crassness, intolernace and a susceptibility for violence and degrading acts. A society where women just do not get the rights and respect they deserve.

For details of the specific incident you can launch off Scoble’s article – http://scobleizer.com/2007/03/26/taking-the-week-off/

This is one reason so many of my friends, including my wife, are scared of publishing on the net. In today’s world being frank and open can make you a very easy target for intolerant idiots.

And please do not tell me that you can threaten somebody and that is all rght as long as you do not do the act. As Kathy rightly points out in her blog, the threat itself is enough to derail a person’s life – to make a person start looking over their shoulders day and night. This is no less intense than a terrorist threat and should be treated as such!!!

I know it is slightly childish to be so ecstatic, but then again I have been a long time in this company and I am very very happy with this response

For the people wondering what I am going on about – TechMahindra was oversubscribed by 72 times

Of course there was no hesitation from the management to peg the price at the higher end of the range, viz. INR365/- CNBC informs me that it will list in the last week of August. That’s great news as it gives me time to get the details of my transaction account working

In related news we had a grand SatyaNarayana Pooja at our Pune premises today.

It has been an interesting week so far. In the middle of all the tensions, that go with a delivery, people were still excited about the IPO. People were swinging from worrying about how the market will react to feeling confident of being at least 7 times oversubscribed. Well! today is the second day of the issue and the issue is already 8.1 times oversubscribed. That too in a lacklustre market. Not Bad!

The excitement with us first-timers were quite a sight. Here’s a close friend of mine, the Don of Inlife, DeoSaheb applying for his first IPO ever. May he fill and get many more IPO issues (Do note the classic broker look that he portrays )

The eternal optimism of the Bull that’s me

I have normally tried to keep my company out of these pages. However in the spirit of logging-in my life, which was one of the reasons I created the blog, I will have to bring in my company.

The news: I work at -

and it is going public this August:)

And yes, I do have a very very small slice of the pie , Thank you for asking
