World After Corona


(Message of hope from Switzerland Alps for India)
Actually I don’t want to write again on Corona & lockdown but I couldn’t resist myself of doing so. We (India) have fought against Corona. Now we have about to seal this battle (hopefully) very soon.
I am very curious about how the world is going to be after Corona?

Politics –
1.USA might lose its power considerably, as superpower. Over past 70 years US has ruled world with its economic and technological power. I won’t see much effect on their economic stability as this country is financially still power house, they have recovered themselves through great depression.
Human Capital that to skilled labor is the most valuable capital among all the capitals,It acts an invisible hand in every civil society development.

2.Expiry Date of many international organizations
After WWII,UNO and its sister organizations were established to solve the conflicts also to give common platform for all the countries. But, the arrangement was made in such a way that the power will remain in the hands of the few. (Even after so many decades UN Security Council Permanent members are Allied Nations in WWII)
Failure of WHO is Corona case once again proved that these organizations are puppets in hands of some nations.

3.Indiaaa Indiaaaa …..
Right from many centuries India has proven its ability to lead world. We are fighting our own battle but still we are helping other countries; this is the classic example of how a global leader country should act.
130Crore + population ,densely populated cities, hygiene issues etc. even in such odds we maintained the decorum and supported the government ,police, administration, doctors etc.
Today morning while writing this blog I read the news – Some people protested in New York City against Lockdown. huh !
I think the strength of any nation doesn’t lie in how money they earn or how developed they are, but lies in how they manage themselves in tough times  

Personal Life
1.This Lockdown tested our patience lot, so these days were the best time for introspection.
2.Generation who is in 50s-60s who were working continuously for 20 – 30 years got such long & forced break
3.Lockdown helped us to stop unnecessary expenditure, now we are spending only on Essential goods
4.Though Stock Market fell so badly, many good stocks are now available at discounted price; so it is shopping time! Buy the stocks you were not affording earlier and boost your portfolio.
5.Individual’s Immunity has vital role in recovery from Corona Virus So; Exercise well , maintain your health and build strong immune system.

I wish we are in last phase of Corona Battle, Every situation offers us some learning – Gen Z is experiencing such situation for the first time, we are definitely going to Win this battle.

Ade Raho! Date Raho!

Start'Ups'&'Downs'

Whenever there is a discussion about Startups one common opinion among experts is “In India 95% Startups fail”; obviously there are some who have been successful and established themselves as strong and emerging players like Swiggy, ixigo, Ola etc. When I read various report, articles, papers on this subject I have found reasons behind Startups’’ failure - some of them are - 1.        Lack of experience 2.        Business models are not sustainable 3.        Failure in market capture 4.        Less scope of growth 5.        Financial issues Business might make losses in the initial period but after some point of time it has to achieve Break-Even Point. Any Business’s survival depends on how much loss the stakeholders are able to digest. If Investors don’t see much improvement in the situation they might pull curtains off ...

No Option for 'Options'

My friend Payal asked me few Qs about Derivative Options, I promised her that I will answer her Qs because I don’t have any other ‘Option’. For a while forget Derivative Options Let’s understand what option is .. Option gives you a chance to exercise it , It a chance but No Compulsion   Always remember, Option will be always executed if and only if it is beneficial to the executor When it comes to Derivative Options, The Value is derived by something it can be index or company stock . The Option doesn’t have its own value as value is derived (backed) by something. This gives birth to an important concept Equity Derivatives - Equity Derivatives are in 4 types 1.        Futures 2.       Options 3.       Swaps 4.       Forward We can actually write series of articles on each one of the above , but let’s restrict our self to Options You can take ...

Remembering The 'Tricolour'

  Feeling of patriotism  often comes out on 2 days, 15 Aug & 26 Jan and of course when cricket match is going on , on these 2 days we are highly enthusiastic ,patriotic songs seems to be more melodious than the regular one. I was in the dilemma for choosing the subject for my ‘Blog’ , but 15 th  Aug was on its  way so I had chosen the same because " Watan ke aage kuch nahi". Post World war II , world was divided in 2 groups Communism & Capitalist ( mainly USA & Soviet Union ). Even the so called ‘Powerful’ countries  had to choose the either side. It was difficult to stand alone in this race . Many western countries had interfered in the internal issues of independent India for their benefits .Within 25 years we had fought 4 Wars , 3 against Pak &  one against China .1971 war gave birth to Bangladesh , where India entered in to save the humanity .Pak surrendered to India which is our  the greatest military success....
