Couple of long pending stuffs i had done today on the personal finance front.. not big changes to turn me into a millionaire at day break tommorow.. But somehow these days i jus wana restructure the way im handling money and be more accountable and wise thatz all.. Well so fixed up an appointment to meet an Investment Consultant guy and initiatiated a talk with HDFC to open a Demat Acct. Well then some big news today at Office Front.. Krishna and Aananth have been promoted as Sr. Apps and also how can i forget the Evergreen Sunil.. he too was on the right boat unlike at iNautix..
But there is one thing which is the Biggest reason i maynot be succesfful in Corporate Life especially if I go the BSchool route.. my shoddy and woefully long time to take a decision these days.. Well the decisions to make jus paltry ones but i seem to prod over n over by the time i make it Im too late and have missed the very purpose.. I just have to pulll up my socks and set this right pretty right.. I got to get this going very soon probably in days bcoz this habit has somehow stuck to me v.badly in the last year or two.. well then wat else at work couple of QA bugs to tackle so was off with it quite early..
Well how can I not write about the Wall.. Well each time i see him perform (it is almost in every two out of 3 innings) i jus have this feeling within me which makes me wonder at this guy's consistency , determination and patience.. Jus imagine the solidity he offers to crores of viewers when he is batting.. everyone tends to relax.. push deep into the chairs from the edges they hav been on since the time sehwag came in, giv their nails a break, pick up a drink it is all bcoz such is the faith in the Wall that they knw he wont play anything flashy that wuold make hearts pound in tension .. Here I invariably have to draw this parallel to Business.. Imagine a company in any line of Business that has this Rock Like Solidity.. it would be a Dream Company for Employees, Promoters, Investors and its success would touch everyone on Earth... Well then coming back to The Wall.. this is the Branding that goes along with his name.. I jus cant think of anyother better suited name to a sporting individual atleast in Cricket than to Dravid.. Imagine the Comps he is the Brand Ambassador India Cements, Castrol and also Nippo Batteries all utilise his Brand Value to the maximum extent to correlate to their products brilliantly.. Thatz real shrewd marketing.. And more importantly the guys clean and very professional image. He is complete package especially the way he handles the media is jus too good, personally i havent seen anybody as good as him so far in India or anywhere. He is great Role Model for one to Have the reason being each of his quality can be applied with success in any field by anyone. Finally the Wall made 270 today so luks like India will create history and win the series 2-1.. Lets hope Inzy Aaloo doesnt spoil the party.. Fine then i cant forget this headline in the TOI when Dravid fails in the final Test..

The Wall Crumbles.. It is so synonymous these days to see all the papers unimanously call him Rahul Wall Dravid.. Am waiting for tommorows dailies i can bet the headline would yell The Wall.. well i could go on about this guy.. probably i will a lot many times on this blog for years n decades to come..
