I Just checked my portfolio on Moneycontrol and guess what ? I now have Rs. 1,98,247 worth of bluechip shares. Yesterday I had nothing. All my money is in those damn mutual funds.

How did this happen to be? I dont know. Either somebody has hacked into their computers, or their Oracle systems are down. Or, it might just be that God in heaven decided to give me something to smile about for a change.

After all, I have been knockin' on his door, haven't I?

You know, I think its the most terrible, terrible, thing to find people treating their daughters like inventory that needs to be scrapped when its reached the end of its shelf life. In this case that would be the time a girl is of marriageable age. You can understand when uneducated people in villages do this, but when you see it happening in educated homes, it is just so sad. You generally see parents showering their love on their little girl; dressing her up real pretty for everyone to see. So what happens when the little girl grows up?

I've seen this happen in my own family with my cousins, and I know I would hate my parents if I were their daughter and this was the treatment I got. I say whip the blighters - 500 lashes will do the job nicely.

Anyway, thats all I want to say today.

Little girl, little girl,
dont you know its true.
I dont wanna stop
rockin' and rollin' with you.
