Buffet announces his successor



The legendary investor Warren Buffet, it appears, has finally found his successor. The ageing investor, also known as the “Oracle of Omaha”, has decided that it was best that an Indian should take on the mantle.

“Due to the recent media reports and somewhat irresponsible individuals, the performance of our next Chairman is now out in the open. So, before any of you start making speculations, we want to formally announce and come clean on the name” he said.

All you Ajit Jain / Tony Nicely lobbyists, you can eat crow.
It’s our own Jijaji-next-door Robert Kedavra !! Mr. Kedavra shot to fame when from being a humble brass goods trader from a sleepy North Indian town, he succeeded in wooing the hand of the princess of the Grand-Ole-Party. Like a princess kissing the toad, Kedavra's fortunes skyrocketed since then, and now not only has bagfuls of crores of rupees, he also is amongst the highest of the high VVIPs of the country. All this, without holding a single govt. or public office, nor having networth / businesses of the likes of Ambanis & Tatas.

At a press meet, Mr. Buffet told media persons that the choice becomes clear with how Mr. Kedavra managed to grow a company to Rs. 500 crores (USD 96 Mn) from a paltry Rs. 50 Lakhs (USD 96,000) only of invested capital.

“You call me a great investment guru, well here is a Super investor who has posted a CAGR of twice my age”, quipped Mr. Buffet. Amidst applause he also stated that Mr. Kedavra will take over the reins, as soon he is allowed by the Police and the ED to travel abroad.

Talking on phone, Mr. Namish Tewari, head of Foot-in-mouth affairs affirmed that there were no issues against Mr. Kedavra’s leaving India and he can take over Berkshire soon. Talking at length  and curiously relieved, he also commented on the oft-repeated gripe of  India losing her bright talent to developed nations, also known as brain drain.
“It’s a proud moment for India, Mera Bharat Mahan !!! HA HA HA...crash...ouch....” he said before, signing off for celebrations. However, but we couldn’t hear his response in full as loud laughter (obviously a part of merriment and celeberations) drowned his voice.


Genius, like gold dust, does rub off on people close to you as well. A close associate of Mr. Kedavra, working in an obscure PSU bank, has been catapulted to international fame when recently Mr. Bernanke, the US Federal head, and his sidekick were in India to hold a secret meeting with him. 

 Unconfirmed sources reveal that the duo wanted to learn and apply how to circumvent prudent (read archaic) banking practices so that talented entrepreneurs & their ventures can be funded by depositor’s money thereby stimulating flow of credit to in the US economy.

India, indeed is shining and how.

Investing during volatile markets

Surprises happen, often Taking a step back, we had no clue about the PM’s announcement about the de-monetization (banning of Rs 500 & Rs 1000 currency notes) and are still to come to terms with the impact and the after effects of the move. Neither had anyone any idea that a certain Donald Trump, a political first-timer, will be elected the President of the US of America!  But both events happened, and took most, if not all of us, by surprise. Coming back to Indian markets, the commentators are as divided on the economic and political impact of the anti-black money drive on the common man as they were clueless about such an event unfolding. However, prima facie, I see the following likely outcomes: Rise in deposits, will bring down rates: If the so far, surge in bank deposits (Rs 4 lakh crores so far; ~4% of total deposits) are anything to go by, the move may shore up bank deposits which in turn would swell short term liquidity in the system, putting downward ...

Sachin Tendulkar is to cricket, what a vowel is to word...

My journey and moments with the little master -by Ashutosh Garud (guest) On 23rd December 2012, Sachin Tendulkar showed he is human after all. Yes he retired from ODI’s. Somewhere deep down in our hearts, the fans (including me) were anticipating the moment to be around the corner. I was 8, when he debuted and honestly I don’t remember his first runs and innings. A 16 year kid was hitting unbelievable strokes against some very established names. Understandably, his popularity was meteoric. Before I could realize I was sucked into his silky stroke play and for me Sachin became a synonym for cricket. Discovering Sachin the batsman... When I started playing serious cricket (the gully cricket was of course serious cricket), I started holding the bat right at the bottom of the handle and chose the heaviest of the bats available. So what if that made the cut, pull and the sweep shots much more difficult for me. After all I had to follow the way Sachin played, right? I use...

An Open letter to the Prime Minister of India

Dear Shri PM ji, Thanks for speaking out and calming us finally, days after the tragedy that happened on the streets of Delhi. Sir, we would like to believe that your feelings of concern for the victim are indeed true and genuine. We thank you for the deep empathy you displayed for the young protestors braving the Delhi cold, getting drenched by water cannon, beaten up by Police batons, shot by tear gas shells while demanding a safer city for women.  Your words of calm and reason are soothing balm to a troubled nation. We already feel better. But sir, YOU are the establishment. You don’t demand results , but, it is you who should deliver RESULTS . The people are angry because each day their wives, sisters and daughters are condemned to live in a state of fear of the goons and criminals. Women are afraid to step out after dark in the capital of the country. Even women of foreign countries are regularly issued advisories suggesting caution. Z plus security ...
