Another one from the backwaters
Another one from the backwaters of Kerala. This was taken from the houseboat where we stayed in. It was also a wonderful experience. Only botheration was lot of mosquitos. Dont forget to take some repellant with you if you plan to stay in a houseboat. 
Vivekanand Rock, Kanyakumari
On our second last day of Kerala trip, we visited Kanyakumari. The structure seen in this photo is the Vivekanand Memorial. It is said that Swami Vivekanand did a meditation for 3 days on this rock.And a equally beautiful morning from the same place
One more view from our Floating Cottage

This photo is taken from Pristine Island. It's a beautiful resort placed in the mid of backwaters. This place is around 45 Kms away from Cochin. A stay of at least 2 days is a must here if you are going to Kerala.

Welcome to the stock markets
EVEN IF YOU ARE ON A RIGHT TRACK YOU WILL
BE RAN OVER IF YOU PLANNED TO SIT BACK.
The Stock Market simply illustrated ... is there a lesson here?
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it. The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50." The villagers squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !!

Stronger Rupee = Stronger India

Personally I think it is easy to say that we need to move up the value chain now, but how to do it is a question.....What do you think that we can do to change the picture of Indian IT people from cheap labour to valuable skilled professionals...leave comments....

Trip to Nilkantheshwar
We went to Nilkantheshwar on last weekend. A great place. This is the way to the temple. A walk of around 3/4 kms each way. But worth going there. And in monsoons it's even lovelier.It's around 50kms from Pune, near Panshet. The drive till there is equally beuatiful.
