High and Low

I feel high and I feel low. I feel like a wanderer. roaming from one place to another one stop to another one goal to another. I do not stop. (just published an old draft of year 2008)

Life is choosing amongst various options.

Whatever you are is the consequence of decisions you made, choosing amongst various options. What u will be depend on choices you make. And destiny??? Every man tries his best until his destiny is revealed.......So choose the right and give the best.

Connections are not easy..

There will be times in life when one will feel that he/she knows all but soon he/she realizes that actually it was a mistake to think so. Same is true with relations, if you think that relations are like a bond (shackle) that once confirmed (locked), will be there forever and you will soon be realizing that you were wrong. But friendship is different from relations. I define friendship as tattoo on your your arm. Friend will always be there for you and you don't have to think before behaving. you can take as much liberty as u can. The tattoo will come off but only with a part of yours. Connections are not easy, take time in connecting.

What if popular actors take out IPO for making their own new movies???

Who do you think is the most popular actor or actress? Amir, AB, Shahrukh, Akshay, Aishwarya or Katrina? It is a question of personal choice there would be different number of people who would be liking these actors in different proportion. Lets say there is maximum number of people who like Amir Khan. Other actors are having various different number of people liking them.

What might be different implications of these likings commensurating to various numbers. Lets imagine a situation in which a popular actor to make a movie launches an IPO. This IPO is to raise the money to make the movie. Lets say for example the phase value of each share is Rs. 10 and there are 1 cr fans world wide who have liking for Amir Khan. 80 Lac being Domestic audience and 20 lac international and out of this 40% are there willing to invest at least Rs. 100 i.e. 10 share each. It means Amir would be raising at least 10*10*400000 = Rs. 400 MN , quite a good sum to make a big movie.

There would be different phases in which money would be collected, phases being share application, share allotment and call money. These IPO would be listed in stock exchange.

If an IPO is getting over subscribed it means that the share of movie will be traded at premium. This means a hit movie even before its made.

Suppose the movie is released and its a hit, the box office collection in first week is good. (Please note that the box office collection is directly related to no. of ticket sold). If the movie is good than the share price will be going up.

Also there will be instances when the fans would be buying more no. of tickets to increase the market value of actors and also there would be investors who would be focusing more and more to influence the sale of ticket by spreading positive word of mouth amongst their peers.

So a movies success will not be only dependent upon its being good but also on the part of rigging done by various investors.

Lebanese Chicken

I am posting this blog after a along time. Though the Post will be general in nature and I will not be discussing any Idea. Sunday, as it was today. I slept till 1 pm and then had chole bhature 1 and 1/2 plates. I promised glory that I will be treating her with Lebanese chicken and other Lebanese dishes. In evening we went to Saket and had Lebanese chicken, humoose (a paste of cereal topped-up with olive oil). though the taste was good but Glory did not like it much. She asked me for Ice cream, which I should not have brought her that but I did. she had nutty cone and I had, as usual, hot chocolate fudge. I will be sleeping now as I will be going to the office tomorrow. I am not very regular on this space as am bit busy for GMAT preparation.

Service Indusrty

I often feel that most of the wealth creation these days is through services..Service industry is booming. Think who is benefiting from this??? Major service industries are IT, banking and Telecoms. these industries provide support function and does not result in any real production. The economic balance and sustainability can only be achieved, when the key sectors like Agriculture and manufacturing takes back seat. It is believed that doveloped economy will have major contribution of service industry in its GDP (in excess of 70%), as we see this trend in US and other developed economy. I feel that it is wrong and this equation of core sectors (Agriculture and Manufacturing) and support sector (Service industry) is not sustainable . A support function can never replace or supersede core function.

while postulating this, imagine what could be the extant of value added by these services, computing in case of IT industry, communication in case of telecoms and lending & transaction in case of banking.
If we take world as a unit economy (for simplicity of understanding), if service industry makes 70% percent of all monetary transactions it means 30 % of transaction results into real creation (production).
Now imagine a production unit where in out of total cost of production 30% is direct cost and 70% is indirect cost. Can you think of any efficient industry which would be having this ratio of costs. will that unit be sustainable will it be efficient???? while thinking this also understand that we are talking about a single unit so it implies in monopoly.

In order to have a stable and sustainable and economy the percentage contribution of agriculture, manufacturing and service industry would have to be aligned, for sustainability the percentage share of service industry will have to come down drastically.

Inflation, sub-prime, NPA and market crash would always be haunting such unbalanced economies.
