Na Jaane Koii.....

Amidst volatility the markets have slipped in deep red. The markets ended weak after a choppy session with the BSE Sensex closing at 452.82 points down 10,938.61 levels below the 11,000 mark.

In intra-day trade, it slipped to a low of 10,799 levels. The market tried to gain some momentum during the day but the due to heavy selling and some disappointing Q4 results, it again slipped in deep red.

Now all eyes will be on the stock indices on Monday. The BSE Sensex had nosedived 1279 points approximately in the last two days, the highest-ever absolute fall for the index.

Reacting to the Thursday's losses, Finance Minister Mr. P Chidambaram said on Friday that the crash had been a "manufactured crisis". Even he mentioned that the government is not looking FII’s as traders and they will be considered only as investors. Even this promise was not enough for the market to rise.

The question which comes to my mind is that “What should retail investors do at this moment of time?” Whether they should continue holding the stocks, hoping that by next week, the markets will flourish again. Or they should sell their stocks because sensex can go down further. “What will be the future of small investors?”

How much correction is still needed in the Sensex? Or till what time we’ll continue fearing from Black Monday, Torrid Thursday or Freaky FryDay. The last and the most important question is that how this crash will effect the future of Aam Aadmi….


Please Note: I’m neither an investor nor a trader. But try to follow the markets closely because of my interests.

Hasna Zaroori Hai

RGV & K Sera Sera presents “Darna Zaroori Hai"

Saw the movie on Friday night @ Cinemax, Andheri East. I just wanted to share some of my experiences related to this movie, this may help my frndz in saving some money.

Few years ago, Ram Gopal Varma experimented; he made a movie with six different stories but with same conclusion named Darna Mana Hai. His latest offering in this 'Darna' series is Darna Zaroori Hai. This movie also has six different stories but they all are similar to the stories in previous part.
Even the main plot of the movie was similar to the previous one. Let's get this straight. 'Scary' is too strong a word for Darna Zaroori Hai. The film doesn't even succeed in sending a slight shiver down your spine. Almost everyone present in the theatre was laughing instead of getting scared.

Of the six stories that are juxtaposed in this new 'Darna' series, I only liked the first story, which was directed by Sajid Khan. The remaining five stories and also the story that binds them in a thread, of an old woman and five children were unable to generate interest amongst the audiences.

On the whole, the movie lacks the power to scare, frighten, terrify or to even generate some interest in the audience. It was a major disappointment. Instead of Darna Zaroori Hai, the title of the movie should be “Hasna Zaroori Hai.”
