Titbits

1. Saw the hindi movie "Race" yesterday. What a great movie with non stop twists and turns.... I dont think any one could have guessed even 50% right. Why cant people nominate these kind of movie to Oscar :)

2. Greatly disappointed after some googling on climate change. There is a prediction that by 2050, potato and peanuts would not be available. Come on, i cant imagine :(

3. Saw Dasavatharam trailor in TV. Impressive indeed !!!

4. "Yenda Ratchasha" song from the tamil movie "Singakutti" is lovely and melodious. Janaki Iyer has sung the song really well.

I told you so....

Very few times, we get a chance to do this... My turn goes now... On April 1 Nifty was around 4700 levels and it had a non stop rally from 3rd april onwards to 5050 levels on april 24 !!!

Extracted from what i wrote on april 1 on this blog >>>>>

"Hence, my outlook for april month is consolidation and framing of intermediary bottom of Nifty around 4550 to 4650 levels and Sensex around 14500 - 15000 levels. I expect market to stage a smart rally in april 2nd or 3rd week. Any further fall in indian stock prices could be curtailed by strong stocks like Hind Unilever, ITC, Reliance to a major extent. I dont expect Sensex to touch 13500 levels without these stocks falling heavily." <<<<<<

An Inconvenient Truth

What a great presentation by Al Gore... Full of data, past, current and prediction of future.... Amazing documentary.... Mind blowing effort.... Simple language & excellent depiction :)
Wondering how we can take responsibility after seeing the truth !!!

CNBC TV 18 - India

We have two business channels CNBC TV 18 & NDTV Profit. I will review these channels now.

CNBC TV 18 - Excellent analysts, presentation skills. Being the first channel, they have gained good standing in the market over last 7 years or so. Hence, their ability to reach out excellent brains across the globe is very good. Udayan, ayesha, lata & mitali carry the show in excellent way. Too many rewind (of what the guest said) happens in this channel.

NDTV Profit - Being the well known news channel helps them to "break" the news lot better than CNBC. NDTV's analysis on economics is far better than what they speak normally about stock market. No noteworthy anchors in this channel. Lunch show in NDTV profit is the best part where we can meet and listen to CEOs regularly.

Overall, thumbs up to CNBC.
