Might have lost crores of Rupees

I had an idea where-in we would start a company which manufactures electronic books. These are books which provide you the exact comfort as your good old books but are electronic. I and Sandy Yadav (whose unfortunately good for nothing. Pun Intended) did quite a lot of research on it in 2004. We actually went hunting for technocrats who might assist us in developing this technology. I was pretty sure that this was a billion dollar idea. In fact, I'm still sure of that.

The idea failed. We never reached anywhere.

Now, in 2006, Sony has launched the first version of its e-book. Read it here.

Imagine if I had started off manufacturing these. I could have been a millionaire man!

But i lost it. :(

An Idea can get u xtra 3K a month!

I'm a guy whose got new ideas. I keep getting them and they keep coming in. Here is another one.

I've invested in a couple of mutual funds which are giving average returns. The returns are around 3K in a timespan of 6 months. The principal invested in each of the mutual fund is 10K.

Now dig this.

What if I keep investing 10K every month in a new mutual fund or as an SIP in each of the already invested mutual funds? I only need to take care that I dont invest in some really bad non-performing mutual funds.

There is a plethora of new MF's which keep listing all the time. I just need to pick up the more well known fund houses and keep investing in them.

Lets do a bit of maths:

10K * 12 (investing each month of the year) = 1 lac 20K

This is nothing when you compare to my stock investments which were 2 lacs once.

Even if each fund gives me 4K a month, it will be an extra income. :-)

See, I told you I get bright ideas for earning more money.

Alright then, I'm off to study some good performing mutual funds.

Boredoom setting in

End of first week in London and the same old boredoom is setting in. Last year every friday me and the roomies used to get to Central London and drink our way through the night. However, I dont like it anymore. Same old guys (the roomies). One of the guys is cool and the other is currently pursuing MBA. He is in a different state of mind. We keep talking the same old things. I guess today I will stay at home. Won't accompany them anywhere.

Morever, there is no point ogling at the english chicks which we used to do, I hate it. I'm thinking of getting a chick of my own ;-). I'm on a major hunt this time. God knows what was I doing last year. Should have started doing it then.

Depression man .. manic depression. I can make a good song right now if I was a musician. Emotions are running high.

Reached London

Well, whenever I try to see my blog I dont see the last 2 updates of mine on it. I can see all the rest. Looks like this blogger.com software is dodgy. Will give it a week. If it dosen't get sorted out I think I will switch to rediff. That's pretty good I heard.

So, the saga has gone 7000 miles apart now. I've reached London. There are quite a few things to talk about now.

Firstly, I might be included into a new project called COMS for which I might have to get to Houston. There are hurdles to it but. As you know life aint that simple.
Some big time manager there is being asked to influence my onsite manager here to get me out of this project and include me into that. Its kinda long shot but lets see how it goes. Till now everything is being going smooth.

So now my quitting plan needs to be rethought. It might be like this. I go to US on an H1. I see that I am getting a better Salary outside so I switch.

In case going to US fails things are as they are, meaning, quit here in UK and get a newer job. Now again, that has strings attached. Work permit issues and all that Jazz!
