Hello Bangalore: FINANCE

Hello Bangalore: FINANCE

FINANCE

YOUR MONEY AND YOU

According to a latest survey these days people are spending more on the weddings than in the past. It has become a fashion to flaunt wealth and affluence in such events.

Professional services are hired to keep every thing inorder. Bride and groom industry is flourishing rapidly. Every person wants to live life king size at least for that moment. Beauty parlours are churning out well chisleled looks for the event,more to it theres variety to chose from. Fashion gurus leave no stone unturned to bring out that original and classy look bound to make heads turn. Influence of media has opened the doors of vanity like never before. Mansions have to be more classier, holidays more exotic, living more regal and spending more wild.At the end of all this frnenzy one is caught by the fact that

expenditure>income=dept
income>expenditure=happiness

Its easier said than done.

There are number of service providers eager to take care of your personal finances, resources and savings.Its good but the competition has made them do things which may come as a surprise at the end of the bargain to many.
A lot of schemes , offers and plans are appealing from outside but at the core of it all there appears to be a hidden agenda of relieving you of your hard earned money. One should be very careful to check out the history of these service providers. Recently I came across a very intersting website
on
personal finance , its omprehensive content gives good information to even a novice in the field.

Knowledge Today

LEARNING

What is it like to be silent and not participating just for the fear of appearing a fool is what I tried to experience in the past few days. Sadly thats what I kept becoming every passing day of feigning ignorance.You start loosing confidence subtly and one day you realise how deep you have fallen in the trench you built yourself.

Every day every person is fighting a silent untold battle for survival on this planet.And no
one seems to have the willingness or the patience to stop and help some one in need. The act of
kindness has been epitomosed to a level that has become a monumental entity, which is appreciated no doubt, but never used.

Suketu Mehta's observation on the Mayanagri Mumbai in his book Maximum city is so vivid and bold that you are compelled to take notice of the system that grows and flurishes undrground so silently & efficiently and one day errupt full blown in to our faces . Yet nothing is planned
and thought about, it just happens .The law of power conspires to manifest in different forms
good and bad,moral and immoral.


Peter Drucker , The management guru stresses on the importance of knowledge management. How in the comming days every body will have to manage oneself. There'll be many choices unlike our ancistors who had limited choices. They simply followed in their father's foot steps.

Technology will give intelligent devices which will be very user friendly without overwhelming
him with infomation overload.Ubiquitous computing/pervasive computing that integrates compution into the environment will be the part and parcel of every day survival to the
point that people will no longer recognise what goes into what they are consuming just like we
take eating a burger for granted, we don't learn any complex methods for eating a burger, do we??? But the same has to be learnt for operating complex machines and systems.Ubicomp technology will make things easier and faster.That means there will be a lot of free time at our disposal. That time will be spent on something that we have not envisioned or left
for some more commercial exploitation. Survival will demand more efficiency.


Efficiency= output/input*100. Man will be satisfied when 100% efficiency is reached. Barriers of imaginations will be shattered . All quetsions will be answered , all solutions will be available, contradictions will become accepted,impossible will become possible , sound will begenerated without vibrations, light will be reflected from a black object and what not.

That'll be the day when truth is realised.Science'll becomes perfect and no experiments will be needed. May be that day we'll reckon gGod.

Its great to address your thoughts to such a large audience.

I take this opportunity to share the worst fashion blunders ,we are prone to.


OOPS !!! Whats that???

Ladies please don't go out wearing that beautiful salwaar-kameez without a duppatta. No..No let me
clearify before you take me as an overtly desi female.... the reason for the request is purely based on asthetic value. That dress looks complete only with that harmless piece of accessory.


You work a lot.... don't flaunt that

Your cracked heels may reveal a lot more than you want to. So puleeze... pay attention to them before loosening the strings of your purse for those sparkling pairs of sandals you last saw and couldn't resist to try on unless you feel like helping the designer.


Men: you thought u'll escape my judgement
Here's bad news for all those out there who don't give a damn about what they wear especially the footwear. Its yuck!!! to see a smartly clad man with the kind of footwear which just doesn't gel with the look. Imagine a formal suit with white sneakers.... definately a turoff or open sandals
in an office.

Banner it not
Agreed you folks could never digets the fact that the fairer sex always was the privledged one to try out any kind of clothes,,,but that doesn't mean that you go out and get all splashed up with colurs all over. Bright pink shirt screaming for attention ... Logos... features.... slogans... u name it & u see it all over there. To see a walking talking banner would be the last thing on any sane girl's mind.

So yeah!!! banner it out.
