I see the world around me and I get irritated by watching them lead their life with jealousy, greed, anger. When people talk, they only end up mocking at someone. For e.g. Two women were gossiping. First one said “ do you know Mr. Mehta son got 98% in board exam? But he always used to play around, how did he got such marks?” They question his ability and actually there are not happy. I have noticed people do not get happy with other people success. Competition between people is killing the Love.

I have learned that Love happens when you are not selfish. Its an selfless act. Having said this, still I have not completely comes in terms with it. I, myself does not always lead my life without ego. But yes I am learning and I have realised that letting off your Ego even slightly, does make your life a bit more beautiful. But, I also think Ego is essential in life. It helps in gaining self respect. I am in a bit of dilemma, which path to choose, A life filled with Love and no Ego or a life striking a balance between Love and Ego.

In reality we hear sound but the background sound which runs in the cinema is only an effect which is almost nil in real life. There is lot more silence in life. Music and sound are always there in life but not to an extent we hear in movies.

Camera gives us the view which surely, few people can see in reality. We have seen so many things….The Eiffel Tower, Victoria falls, The Pyramids, and so on ..the list is endless. Thanks to cinema. Yesterday I was watching Don by farhan akhtar and there was a shot when Arjun rampal and a kid were walking on the connector between the PETRONAS Tower.  How many people in their life would able to see an aerial view of the tower…?? It makes us see which we only dream or it makes us dream to see the things.

One thing that is true is that cinema is false. There is no physical pain in cinema. No one dies. If you cut someone arms, he will bleed and have an agonising pain…but not in cinema. Actor dies in a death scene but after CUT he is alive. He is an actor….he may get the feeling of the death…but not the reality of death.

This power of sound and more importantly view is something gifted to our generation. People living two centuries ago were bereft of this experience.  They could have generated the sound but the view was not there. Cinema also last longer. Earlier people got entertainment by stage plays. But it could not be recorded. A performance was for that moment only. It could not be repeated. The replay option was not there. I guess the amount of people who have watched Sholay now is much more than the time it was released.

The one thing which is totally imaginary is the animated movies. It has no relation with life except the most vital thing which cinema gives us ….the feeling. Our mind and brain works with movies to get that feel. It’s the feeling which has always lasted. The view, sound , animation all creates that effect which make people cry, laugh, smile, shout, and sometimes sleep also. Cinema is a revolution to the world of entertainment.

But, to be positive, an effort is required. Its not natural to me. I don’t know its only me or for everyone . I guess nothing is natural, except for very few moments of your life. And for the rest small numerous moment of life, I can manipulate things for my happiness or for that matter sadness also at any moment of time. Yes, sadness is also a very good time pass. For me, i am standing on the threshold between two worlds, and i jump around, considerable amount of time spent in the better world and sometimes on the other side for a change. The point is the power is in my hand to switch.

First thing, never do any work in hurry. In business, time is a big factor, but even if your time is short, do not try to complete the work in hurry, you are ought to make mistake, mistake are pretty costly here. You will realize that it would have been better if i would have taken more time.

Your act of speech is very important. Whatever you say, remember you have made a commitment. You just not say things, words are very significant.

You should be a good listener. A good listener gets knowledge quickly.  Needless to say that the memory should be flawless.

The most important thing is Motivation. Its your work, its your responsibility. To wake up everyday and carry out your work in a efficient way, you need that motivation. The moment you fall short on motivation, your desire to work reduce, and when you no more desire to work, the work itself reduces. Then all your other qualities, good decision maker, articulate words, deep memory, great listener, nothing works.

Hope my motivation never dies out.

Well I dont consider myself to be an Uncle and i dont know when i will, but right now I am happy as to what I am…..

Life is about present and that what we should enjoy. Instead of sobbing around in wait for someone. Someone might have dumped you but look around Love is always hidden somewhere near you, hidden in small things. You just got to find it.

Happiness cannot be achieved by an object or an event. It is completely related to Attitude. The stress should be on Attitude not happiness. Your attitude towards anything. This is what matters

No matter how promptly you pay your broker after your buy order is executed, you get your shares only after settlement on the stock exchange. But, what if the counterparty seller does not deliver the shares? Since you don’t have the shares, you cannot book profits if the share price moves up. If your intention was to make a long-term investment, you would have to buy again at the higher price, with the difference being your loss. Stock exchanges guard against such eventualities by carrying out auctions.

An auction is the exchange’s mechanism for getting shares for the buying broker in case of a default by the selling broker. This default could arise due to non-delivery (or partial delivery) of shares, or delivery of bad shares. It occurs when a short-seller (a speculator who sells shares that he doesn’t own) fails to square up his transaction within a trading cycle, or a seller fails to deliver the shares on time.

On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), a separate auction trading session is held on Wednesday (commencing at 4:45 p.m.), the settlement payout day, or on Thursday. On the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the auction session starts at 1 p.m. on Monday, its payout day.

The process. On the NSE, the clearing corporation draws up the list of shares not delivered by brokers at the end of the pay-in day, which is sent to all brokers on the auction day. Brokers get 30 minutes (termed Solicitor period’) to place sell orders. They can offer their own shares, as well as their clients’.

Unlike regular trading, where order matching is a continuous process, orders placed during the auction session are matched at the end of the solicitor period only. The matching is based on the price-time priority principle; the lowest-priced sell orders entered earliest are matched against fixed buy side quantities. Auction prices are subject to a price band.

On the BSE, however, sell orders are continuously solicited. After an hour-and-a-half, trades are matched on price (though not on time priority since orders are not time-stamped). Trades are allocated between orders, with the same best price, at the exchange’s discretion.

On both exchanges, selling brokers have to deliver shares within two days of the auction day. They receive payment on the auction payout day (Saturday on NSE, Wednesday on BSE), and the shares are passed on to the original buying broker. If the auction price exceeds the original traded price, the defaulting broker has to pay the difference, along with a penalty amounting to 0.05 per cent of the transaction value, to the clearing house.

Suppose you bought a share for Rs 100, which the selling broker failed to deliver. Another broker offers the share for Rs 112 at the auction. The clearing house gets Rs 100 from you, and pays Rs 112 to the successful broker. It recovers the difference (Rs 12) and the penalty (5 paise) from the original defaulter. Had the auction price been Rs 90, the clearing house would have gained Rs 10, which goes to the exchange’s investor protection fund.

Buyer will get compensation. But, what if the shares don’t come in during the auction session? This happens rarely: on an average, there are no sell offers for about 1-2 per cent of the shares put up for auction. In such a case, the transaction is settled at the highest recorded price between the relevant trading period and the auction day, or at 20 per cent above the last closing price, whichever is higher. The defaulting seller pays the difference between the original transaction price and the settlement price. As a buyer, you don’t lose the amount paid for buying the shares, or miss out on any post-purchase price rise.

Opportunity for sellers. The auction process also offers an investor the opportunity to sell shares at rates above the prevailing market price (auction prices are usually 2-15 per cent higher), and realise gains within three to four days. Track the auction list, available with your broker, and place a sell order. If your order is accepted, you will have to deliver the shares to your broker within a day or two.

I with two of my friends Ushi and Somesh (name unchanged) were in vijaywada for a Hyper launch. The launch was getting delayed after every two days. The store finally got opened on 5th November. On 4th morning, after approval by our department head, I wrote a mail for our return trip back to kolkata on 6th. After a few hours, my immediate boss informed that our stay had to be prolonged for one more day i.e we will leave on 7th. On 5th, we got the ticket , an air ticket from vizag to Kolkata. I was very excited that i will travel in a plane for the first time. As a child i always had this wish to travel one day in a plane. On 6th night we caught a sleeper bus from vijaywada to vizag. It took 8 hours and dropped us at vizag early morning on 7th. The flight was at 12:30 pm, so we booked a room in a hotel, kept our luggage and left for R.K. Beach. Spent the morning in the beach and came back to room. Then i took out the ticket from my bag and got the shock of my life.

The date printed on the ticket was 6th november. We were one day late. There was no point of blaming anyone. It was my boss fault that he didnot informed the admin department that our stay was delayed. It was our fault too that we should have checked the ticket when we received it.Anyways we had to reach Kolkata as early as possible as the next day was Diwali. My wish remained unfulfilled. No ticket was available in train nor in plane. The only way was a 16 hour bus ride to kolkata. That means we travelled from Vijaywada to kolkata by bus.

And i missed my first flight.
