My Comfortable Chair

Records, labs, exams,,,,.. These are the factors that has kept me off my blog since a month. Not only was I uploading any new posts, I was cut off from the rest of the global village. Felt like a retard these days. Just updated all the latest buzz in the world. Inflation in India, Presidential elections in America, the IPL matches, movies, entertainment and all the gossip.

My placement training has started in college with aptitude tests. I'm performing quite well. Gosh, the verbal, every word looks familiar !! Preparing my resume was a herculean task. Tried to present it as impressive as possible. Gues, it is. The first major company coming for recruitment is TCS. The seniors have scared the s*** out of us. I'm trying to maintain my cool. Prepare for the apti sincerely, know what you are talking, maintain eye contact while speaking, practice on your inter-personal skills, dress neatly, prepare an impressive resume, read all the basics of all the subjects learnt so far, blah blah blah !

All the way back home, there was a war between the two phrases: 'Nandhini, you are in deep trouble missy !' and the other 'C'mon, work your a** off, let's see what happens. We'll face it'. Finally, it was check mate for the former. Nobody can encourage you unless you've got the spark within yourself. Confidence is what I need and I'm sure I got enough. If not this, it's the next. I would fight like Jack Sparrow by maintaining my cool and facing the endless voices pouncing upon each other. Yes, i would !!!

I've been updating upon the various IPL matches. They've been very interesting. I'm the ultimate supporter of 'Chennai Super Kings'. A brilliant team with Dhoni, Hayden, Muralidharan, and Hussey. I was waiting for Balaji to come into action. He did, brilliant overs .. and he's smart looking. King Khan's 'Kolkatta Knight Riders' and 'Delhi Daredevils' are in form too. My recently married friend Manasa is going for the KKR vs Mumbai Indians match in Mumbai. Lucky her.

Mr. Chidambaram is trying his best to keep the inflation rates in check, but they've been soaring and is in a all time high of 7.61%. He has made a public announcement that the government is holding talks with the cement manufacturing industries to roll up their prices. Hope it works. The middle class have been greatly hit. I would wonder how would a 10 buck rise going to affect the people. But with knowledge from text book economics, I gathered knowledge about the outcomes of rising inflation. So, people who are earning and going to earn, this is one thing I want to mention(actually phrased by somebody, but so true) "Start investing the day you start earning". Stocks and shares, Mutual funds, insurances, property, gold,,, or whatever that would give you good returns as time goes.

I really feel nice mentioning about all this in my blog. There maybe several places where people can learn anout inflation and investments, but I've just made my smallest contribution and nothing feels as good as gaining knowledge.

So, here I'm just slouching in my chair, doing what exactly I want to do on a rainy day, with a chill breeze brushing against my face, listening to A.R.Rahman's sufi song composition transferring me to a state of trance. Ah, it's just bliss !!
