How much is "some" in that distance in this title? Transportation itself is a large industry with lot of people, power and money involved. Whenever these three are involved along comes trouble. My visits to Mumbai during my childhood was always exciting. It was not just because I was with my dear and near ones there but it helped me to visualize what city life would be that is the future for every semi-urban places in India that time. The most fascinating thing I saw in those times were of course Mumbai traffic and Metro Rail. In recent past as old as 3 years back, I was forced to reschedule my flight to Delhi since I got stuck in Mumbai traffic for 1.5hrs while returning from a business meeting to my Hotel. I just had to pick my luggage and rush to airport. But in that pace it would have taken me 4-5hrs to reach airport. Similar incident had happened to me just after two days in Chennai when I trusted Chennai to be better than Mumbai in traffic. Often think how life is at su...

These funny thoughts had been in my mind for some time now. Always thought are we overlooking the fact that we need Oxygen to live? Or is it that we have taken it for granted? This picture is of a tree which used to shower Oxygen in my neighbourhood, now don't ask me who used to breathe from it or how much Oxygen it produced daily. The significant thing here is that it is not there any more and gave way for 3 parking lots for two wheelers as you can see. We all accept the fact that two wheelers can help people to travel fast during rush hours and can beat the traffic jam with ease. But in case we don't have these two wheelers parked in exactly the same place where this tree once stood, it can never be parked? Somebody has to keep riding it always? Are we that short of land? Maybe its insane to post such questions which might look ridiculous for few. But the fact is we really are running shot of land. People ignore the importance of trees in human life. How many of us really obs...

My title would send chills to few parents considering what new youth is up to what they enjoy doing. In recent weeks there had been couple of incidents in otherwise quiet Singapore with teens stabbing two guys. The first one seems to be a gang war whereas the reasons for second one is still unknown. I would suspect these guys are using kitchen knife's stolen from their mama's kitchen cabinet. What would be the real thrill in piercing someone's body with a knife? There should be something about it that makes people doing it. Singapore is a very good country in terms of protecting their people and securing a good living environment. These two incidents would have definitely made the intelligent minds in this country think about severe punishments so that there is no repeat occurrences. This is normal in any countries case. This keeps happening everywhere and people think of stringent rules and shocking punishments. But should we just go for the root cause of it rather than ju...

The word itself is the real cause of the problem. "CorrUPtion" itself comprehends the meaning of growth, a green arrow pointing upwards if you take it in today's world. People get obsessed with growth n money and easiest way UP is getting corrupted. I don't blame the corrupt people of the world. I just pity them whereas I would come back to across a proposition to the system. We should start with cleaning up the word corruption before we get to the root of it. Corruption can be tackled in few different ways which would be only successful when every individual get to take part in it and enact their role to the max. Last day I happened to read an article from a spiritual leader who had given example of youth in some place in India who decided that they will never pay bribes. When they happened to visit a government office in India they were asked to pay bribes to proceed. These young men dared to respond to the seeker that they can come back 20 times for this, they woul...

New here would be completely new or something we overlooked along our way to the riches. This is on the world without oil. It is not just oil but everything related to oil. Crude Oil & Petroleum industry had made lot of people & countries what they are today. The whole world seems to be run by crude oil price including the share market, inflation, deflation & foreign reserves and much much more. Do you think without oil will it all get to a dead-end? I will leave it to you to get to know the chemistry of the hydrocarbons inside the oil but let's discuss on the economics of it. The pricing references of crude oil is based on the place where it is mined from. For e.g. North America, Europe, Africa, Middle-east, Dubai, Oman, Malaysia, Indonesia & some other OPEC countries. Oil always brought power to nations since its use was in various industries in multitudinous forms. Some of its uses are as fuels, lubricants, wax, coke & agriculture. Based on Consumption of Oil...

Ours is considered as a generation who thinks lot more than our forefathers in most cases. We might have often heard these worlds flying around at normal households nowadays. "Dad, you don't understand. This is generation gap". Is there really such a big generation gap? I don't buy that. There is a gap but it is not because of generation, it is just a matter of thought. We consider sometimes ourselves more intelligent than the so called wise ones with some grey ones on their head. We need a change in thought process and this change can only come once both the parents and todays youth get access to same news, same channels & same people. Even though this is a tough thing to achieve, our social networking sites are doing a good job in doing so. New age parents are friends with their children's friends in social networking and can easily track the mental growth of their loved ones by the nature of their posts. But are they sharing the same news feeds? That is whe...

I had been under self-hibernation mode going underneath the big shelves of Nifty charts and trends which I don't actually understand much. I don't call it a research just not to kill the word but would love to call it re-search, since whatever I did was search something again in Google which someone else would have definitely searched before. Would like to share the detailed re-search report of Nifty for last 10 years which may not be appropriate as some what call it but this is all what I could gather. Thought of sharing the whole process with you guys to let you know what I understood looking at all those Nifty charts. Before going into the boring statistics...let me quote here a famous dialogue from Michael Douglas in Wall Street(1987) - "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- h...

Day 3 - Morning Body & mind was enjoying a good vacation when I myself wanted to visit Petronas Towers for the skybridge view. Again I was late for the skybridge management. I doubt whether they are actually giving away any sort of tickets at all. We had our breakfast in O'Briens in Suriya KLCC. We were very hungry tha we couldn't even think of finding q better place to get a better breakfast. From Suriya we got q cab to Berjaya Times Square. We had to get to this place in the evening for boarding our bus to Singapore back home. I took this opportunity to find our boarding place for starmart express. This can be found on the main road on the same side of Berjaya Times Square. It looks like a kiosk on the footpath with two ladies sitting inside. We took Taxi twice today and found that it is best to take taxi for commuting within he city area and it was cheaper for two of us since train required more amount due to the connection trains we would end up boarding. I would recomm...

Day 2 - Morning Woke up late around 8:30am, rushed to the hotel cafe around 9:00am to get started. The meal was same as last morning for me whereas Seethu got different stuff to start her day. We had to go to Batu caves as per our itinerary today morning. I checked with the Hotel reception tourist operator. He could only rent a taxi for 40MYR which was not agreeable to us. We decided to get local bus towards Batu caves. Local taxi drivers also quoted as low as 35MYR for one side. We walked towards central market, was not able to locate the bus station apart from the Pasar Reni bus station. We happened to meet this Malay kid who was very keen in helping us out and he took us to the bus station and also found the bus we need to board for us. I knew this was what even God wanted before we meet him in Batu caves. The bus charge was as low as 5MYR for both of us together one side. It was a exact 30mins ride towards the caves. We got down there and was amused by the worlds tallest Murugan st...

Singapore to Malaysia - Bus Travel We reached the golden mile complex by 6:50 pm. All our formalities had completed by 7:00 pm. The bus which we had to board came around 8:20 pm. We had to wait for 40mins extra. They tried to send us into some other bus since it had free seats, but I insisted to board this bus which was what I booked for. Seethu pointed out that the bus shows 7:08 pm in the clock inside the bus. No wonder it came late. Immigration Clearance There was a long queue in the Singapore customs for both bus and people. Our bus queues for around 20mins to get to the point where they can leave us for customs check. I had rushed to a queue to get my customs check done. It took me few minutes to notice that everyone in my queue had red passports. Funny part is the queue was extremely fast because it was using an automated system but this was only for Singaporean passport holders. We had to change our queue to a manual one. This was the Singapore customs check and there was more t...

It had been long time since I felt like writing something. Today when the whole world is talking about China becoming no.1 in the world by 2020 and U.S. relegated to a mere no.2. People see ourself taking the no.3 slot and waiting to capitalize on others flaws and enter the top 2. But will it be possible? Maybe yes, but how big is that 'yes' and how small is that 'maybe'? We have lots n lots of things to change before we can reach the goal. If we reach the top of the world economically without clearing off all the bad things we have in our system, we will never stay in top. It can be for one fiscal year and that's it. Let this blog start a new revolution, a revolution from thought and deed. We often tend to believe that what others are doing is irrational or wrong in most cases. But we never tend to understand that it is just a perception. We see it in a different way. If everyone thinks the same, there won't be any need to make a black car and a white car. Sinc...
