well then today i got hold of Options after a good long time.. probably the first time i wanted to knw it and hence put my mind into it.. Buy a Call /Writing a Put gives the holder the right not the obligation to buy /sell the underlying equity at a Strike Price within a period of time. Well European and American options then.. Married puts seemed interesting but then i could nt get what exactly it was.. But then atleast i knw wat is wat in Derivative option jargon. This seems a good link

Well then had a look at some thing regarding the Configurator demo for the next morning..

Well last nite had dinner from a Dabbawalla it was really good though i felt the quantity of rice was on the lesser side.. the quality of the chappati and the Rajma side dish was really top class... coupled with lady's finger curry and curd had a nice meal.. today well had a couple of checks n updates as JS was back.. well then so was working for quite sometime and then jus starting to go home now.. other than this nothing much happened today.. hope i have a good enuf waiting for me there as yday.. Well the info about the Class 2005 of ISB is available on the site.. well looks impressive.. but then found out hte diploma isnt recognised by AICTE too.. probably bcoz they flaunt the 'so called' admisssion and reservation norms, heard they dont hav the SC/ST one too.. well who cares.. it is the name of the institute which matters rather thn the accrediting body more so if ur certificate is cosigned by the Deans of Kellog, Wharton and Harvard..

Couple of Exciting Trivia
-----------------------------

Jacose, Bellitose, Morose and Comatose are supposed to represent the different states a drunkard could get into.. A beautiful description by the Bard in The Twelfth Night

Whiskey means 'Water of Life', Beer means a 'Drink' , Paparazzi stands for scrap paper..

Well then last nite how can i forget the queue at the hutch bill pay ocunter.. pathetic really spending abt 45 mins to pay ur mobile bills.. i wonder y dont have another counter open during the last 2 days of the bill pay cycle probably this is their way of saying u r late so u r punished so next time pay early and avoid the queue.. Today the usual call with CNVV from HQ... and then still waiting for JS to comment back on the fix suggested.. so again pretty much a easy day.. Wat do I do.. i still ahvent begun with the CAT prep sincerely i need somebody to really kick me out of this slumberness.. dono jus 7 months to go... I JUS WANA MAKE IT.. else i wd nvr be happy with myself for having let myself down for the second time after IIT...

Well had a good break at home and am back.. got a mobile for appa Nokia 1100 well then wat else ate well at home.. probably tatz one reason i go home.. Then as usual had a good anticipation of the journey by Shatabdi well had a short but nice 5 hr sleep and was up to catch the 6am train.. Well the service and the ambience of the train is an example of how good Indian Railways can really match up to International Standards.. Well it started with a Financial Express newspaper and an inhouse Railway Magazine. Well the FE had some really good articles and i read away each and every nook well the focus that day was the elevation of M.S.Banga of HLL India to Head Personal Care Business APAC. Well this move really means HLL is sending a jostle down its ranks to up the ante. It has been steadily losing sales and market share recently and having to carry the dubious tag of a Stock HeavyWeight underperformer. Well in between these had good breakfast and i tried Tea for the first time voluntarily and it really kept me awake for the rest of the journey... So probably Tea will become a staple drink of mine very sooon.. Well then reached office at 1130.. had a nice time meeting n congratulating people on promotions.. well the tension was visible in the air with couple of dissappointments.. personally yes im disappointed.. well as long as im here i think im destined to get things late.. But then only as long... The whole day was very refreshing and i was feeling that activeness in me probably bcoz of the early wakeup and also i felt i learnt the most today and enjoyed the read of the FE.. the more n moer i feel this I realize much more certainly i need to be driving a Business... rather than coding.. Im becoming crazy abt Strategy Mgmt these days.. but then Finance is always and will probably for ever be my passion and first love... though i knw very lil about it to be worthy enuf to call it as my love..
