Its an unpredictable world

Last when I wrote, I heard that in Bangkok protests are being called off, Now they say its worse and situation is bad.

Most of the events at Bangkok are postponed and I hope, better sense will prevail with my xaverian pals and they will also postpone it for some time.

Mr. Mukesh Ambani says crude will touch 100$ and that reminds me of my conference in singapore in 2008, where we discussed that now that crude is 150$ and will touch 200$ soon, what will economy look like globally.

Whole three days devoted to it and oil crashed to 40$, so much for predictability.

In economics, we read about multiplier theory and one thing that I have noticed about it is that it multiplies good or bad whatever way one is going.

When economy is booming the rate is good and its gaga all over...multi fold projections.. happy faces..more jobs...more demand for housing... people buying 2nd home... 3rd home may be bunglows.... spending more... partying more..

Suddenly the tide turns and everything is more again but southward.. more cost cutting...selling 3rd home or 2nd home.. no bunglows.. job losses.. panics..

So the happiness or troubles, like relatives they never come alone.

Coming back to focus..I see asia prosperous and europe in trouble and america neutral almost. Will there be any polarisation of world economies and like it was predicted, only BRIC economies will survive.

But is Russia in good shape today? Very little is known about them presently.. I hope they are as strong as they show.

Time to go back to work now... good day...

SXC ALUMNI MEET AT MUMBAI

I have discussed this many times with all and its high time we guys met over khana pina.

Su karu, time nathi and travel is killing me. One needs at least 2 weeks of total dedication to organise a good event.

My P.A. also left as I am travelling 4 days a week and she felt very lonely without me ..hee hee jus kidding.. she was pregnant and I am not to be blamed for that.

New one was not so good so had to ask her to leave.

Some days I feel may be I will get good support staff who will understand my jaroorat and work as I want them to. Getting people with IQ above 120 is so tough these days.

Did you check yours ? CHECK HERE

We are having a meet at Bangkok on 22-23 May for all Xaverians world over. Lets see how many finally make it with a volatile city sitting on powder keg.

JUST READ THAT PROTEST IS BEING CALLED OFF....

I am sure now over 200 xaverians will emerge from Pattaya Beaches to cheer each other and promote the fellowship bond.

Have to go for work now...Cheers to all

Nihil Ultra!









HELLO 2010

Hey all,

Its good to be back after almost 8 months which have been very hectic.

Besides re-engineering my business, we have launched an affordable mega township which is eco friendly at Hadapsar Pune. Its name is "GREEN CITY"

Tough thing if you ask me so many things to work out before launch and boy the rush on the day, almost 3000 people attended the launch. It was launched by noted marathi film actor - Ms. Sonali Kulkarni and she had Mr. Swapnil Bandhodkar, well known singer of marathi songs, to give company.

I am still sitting at the site and sharing my thoughts with you.

Watched highlights of T20 match between India and Australia in the morning and one can easily make out that our batsmen were hell bent on gifting their wickets to kangaroos. I wish some one looks beyond IPL and finds why the so called T20 champions acted that way unless predecided.

Today temperature at Pune is 42 degrees, hottest in last few weeks. Am scared to go out.

Just commented on blog of my friend, Piyush Shah

Few days back had a word with another friend of mine, ex-MD of World Gold Council, and he says Gold will rise more. perhaps we should not learn to live without gold like rest of the world does. This obsession with Gold should end.

But let me share one thing that we in our family believe that Gold brings Lakshmi home. So are we knowingly or unknowingly doing that and is that the real reason why India has grown so much economically? Food for thought for you.

And my lunch is waiting for me ..so time to leave... ciao
