FORUM

About retirement age

This will assuage the feelings of all govt employees. Govt. should take immediate steps to increase retirement age to 62 years now. Any delay might not give them the political benefit. It would also help them save crores by way of retirement dues. And who does'nt need experienced hands ?

Aaj Ki Aawaz

MOVE mallo (rub) aur At Home host karne ke liye chalo!!!!
For her aching back and arm Madam President's hubby must have advised MOVE mallo!

At the Republic Day Parade Madam President's back and arm must have pained!!!!
Standing for so long and keep saluting both her back and arm she strained!!!!

Next year Madam President the aches and pains will recede!!!!
Because you'll apply MOVE in advance paying to this year's experience heed!!

Wonder why our Presidents are emotionless while awarding a posthumous award??
For the relation accepting the award it's really very very hard!!!!

Rather than standing like a statue why not take a step to the one whose lost a dear one!!!
Can you imagine the pain in the heart of a Father who has lost his son????

Kalam used to show emotion and even took a few steps to the one receiving the award!
Seems he realized this was the most painful reward!!!!

Sarkozy seemed distracted …they should have fibbed to him about a Bollywood Tableau!!!
Then on the Parade apni eyes raktha glue!!!

Madam Sonia was there too at the Parade and she had a swollen face… ill or glum!!!!
No wonders Rahul is saying ' Go on a holiday Mum'!!!!

Yes Sonia needs to go on a Roman Holiday!!!!
Sleep long hours and relax in Café's during the day!!!!

Getting away from sycophancy will do her good too!!!!
No appointments and nothing to do!!!!

And please Madam you should start reading fiction and give up present pseudo stuff!!!
I read the books you are reading and found going beyond page 1 tough!!!

How can you read such boring books!!!!
Reading such books is like punishing oneself ….. at least this is what it looks!!!!!

Rahul don't go on a all India Yatra!!!
There's too much khatra!!!

Why doesn't Rahul get surveys done in States going to the Polls????
And then decide on the goals!!!!

Different USPs in different States to sell Congress to the voters!!!!
Try to woo back those who've left and net the floaters!!!

Speaking of wooing…. NCP and Sena are now wooing bhaiyas day in and day out!!!
Some time back the same Sena from Mumbai wanted the Bhaiyas to be thrown out!!!

Basically these Parties make an ass of us!!!!
So come election 'ass ko they call they baap' and on us they fuss!!!

Maybe Balasahib will give up his lungi and dress like a Bhaiya!!!!
And seeing him Bhaiyas will say ' hai dhaiya' (Bhaiya expression of surprise)!!!

PC will not listen to a nobody like me but he should pay heed to what Bimal Jalan says!!!!
End FIIs tax free happy days!!!!

It's a double whammy….. Rupee is strengthening because of the dollar flows!!!
And influx of dollars have made valuations and reality come to blows!!!

FIIs are now hedging in Dollars!!!!
And PC seems to be deaf to the 'tax them' hollers!!!

In the Primary Market too the prices are hugely inflated!!
For a tryst with reality Indian Primary and Secondary markets are fated!!!

A huge bubble has been created and like all bubbles it will burst!!!
Investors have just seen the trailer and in coming times they'll see the worst!!!

When making money is so easy,
Those who have studied the Markets will tell you this makes them queasy!!!

Bull Markets are all about stories but when the Bear takes over,
The stories become nightmares as you run for cover!!!!

Then you'll kick yourself for believing in bull-run yarns or lies!!!!
And let out sighs!!!!!

Most Indian Fund Managers are very young and have not seen change from Bull to Bear!
When by a huge chunk valuations Markets will pare!!!

These Babes in the Wood have not seen the Markets downside!!!!
When day in and out Markets slide!!!

They've just seen the Markets go up!!!
Day in and day out they've made you but into some new Bull gupp!!

Seems like Tendulakar PC wants a record to his name!!!!!
He wants people to say ' he's the FM of the 24,000 Sensex fame'!!!!

Whereas very soon he'll be the one Investors will blame!!!!
In posterity they'll say 'He's the FM who made Indians go bankrupt…shame shame'!

Of course FIIs will say 'PC's and ideal FM …one of the best'!!!
And they'll say this as they count their Indian Profits in their Offices in the West!!!

Because they'll not get burned by the fall!!!!
Know when and how to exit and invest somewhere else and continue having a ball!

And then they've made so much that they can absorb even a huge loss!!!!
Money out of the window they can afford to toss!!

Confucius says…… Indian Stocks are grossly overvalued!!!!
And remember the Bull run will only restart when Indian Stocks become undervalued!!
