A Typical Study Time

The coming 2 weeks are exam time for my elder girl and I am having a hard time breaking my jaw. The excuses to sit in one place and study are numerous. It takes time for her to take the right book to write. When I give a pencil ,it has to be sharpened. When i give it sharpened ,she wants an eraser. By the time we find an eraser(there are around 20 erasers scattered all over the house), her book falls down. She picks it up slowly and then starts to write. Suddenly she feels thirsty and asks me if she can have some water. I try to advice her to write some more and then take a break, but she's adamant. I don't want to spend time arguing with her( as we do it all the time),so I tell her to go have it.

In between she goes to chk on her yunger sister if she got anything special from dad while she was sitting to study. If she has got something new then its time to fight for her rights. SHe comes back and writes again, then we find the eraser has gone missing again. It would have fallen down. Again all of us have to search for it. Dad would be watching TV. She would want to hear that song which is being played and so she needs to go to the toilet so that she can have a peep at the TV . Again I have to excuse her. She comes back again and to her annoyance, she sees her yunger sister sitting on her study table. Thats it! A fight happens..then its all weeping, screaming or shouting from ebody and then it takes time to settle and some soaping to make them stop crying. If there is a gap in between all these, another one of her excuses would be that she is hungry.
By then the day would almost be over. All these, requires me to use my mouth and voice and most of the time it aches. My nap in the afternoon and the Energy drink I have everyday to teach her is all used to its optimum.

Investment in Equity

If you believe in the growth story of India, you should seriously look at stocks. It’s a business with least bureaucracy. No red tape, babus and tax treatment is absolutely simple (at least for now). Through equities you can do any business. IF you believe in the future of airlines, invest in the Vijay Mallya’s company UB Holdings which owns King Fisher. And later if you think high inflations will hurt the industry and oil might be a good idea, join business with Mukesh Ambani. All you have to do is sell your UB and buy Reliance. You’ve changed your entire business with a few mouse clicks. Its so simple !!!! Is’nt it? ;-). Next I’ll tell you why tax treatment in equities is an icing in the cake.
