Bacha ab bacha nahi raha !!

Showing disrespect towards the Indian cricket team, Bangladeshi newspaper 'Prothom Alo' has produced a spoof 'cutter' advertisement, in which several Indian cricketers are seen standing with their heads half-shaven. Young Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman, who tormented the Indian players in the ODI series, is shown endorsing a cutter - symbolising his 'off-cutters' - and the Indian players are holding a banner which reads, 'We have used it. You can use it too.' Well without any shadow of doubt Indian cricket fans are angry with this gimmick , they feel humiliated ! But when mauka mauka advertisement was on , most shared and viewers on social networking site was the same Indian fans. So I have got three things to say :- 1) Bangladesh team hasn't lost the sportsmanship, I guess it was the marketing strategy of the razor brand itself. 2) if Mustafizur Rahman knew what he was endorsing and how it is going to be presented , shame and pity on him....

Celebrate Pride

In a long-sought victory for the gay rights movement, the Supreme Court of the Unites States of America ,ruled by a 5-to-4 vote on Friday that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage.Well that's definitely a great news for the queer groups and for those who support there friends and family being the Homosexual.The word "Homosexual" has got some stigma attached with it there for All these years but i guess now they have entered the new era where each individual got the respect and right to live and to whom to live with . But sadly India is too too far away from this decision to be implemented .... In India its illegal to be a LGBT (Lesbian ,Gay,bisexual,Transgender) , friends ,How long ... How long the judicial system of our country , The Law going to keep away and deny the "people" from there rights ? Its constitutional as per my understanding ...every one has got the right to live ! Then why not "to be live with" ? Not much time...

FRM vs CFA: Battle of Financial Certifications

For all the students going for International Finance Certifications, it is the most common point of debate whether to go for CFA or FRM or both. Both certifications have international recognition and offer a wide range of enriching and rewarding career prospects. This is where the question arises "CFA vs FRM: Which certification to go for?" CFA Certification The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA® Program) was originally intended for equity analysts working in the investment banking sector. Over a period of time (since its inception in 1963), its scope and importance has been recognized to the level where the CFA Program now is often compared to Masters in Business Administration (MBA) . It has become one of the de-facto certifications that a professional graduate goes for when trying to target some specific positions in the investment and banking industry.

Nestle`s Reputation :- 100 times more than Government of India .. is it ?

 Maggi fiasco has jolted the brand value akka reputation of the Nestle without any shadow of doubt. Now Nestle is in the mode of damage control, calling their most influential Shivani hedge to do the same from Sri Lanka . In Spite of public outrage and removal of the product from the shelves. There is one guy in the market by the name of Raamdeo Agrawal of motilal oswal ,who is positive on the valuation of the stock,giving an answer to the journalist question on Nestle’s stock price, He stated that, quote `Nestle's reputation, worldwide, is at least 100 times more than government of India itself. Nestle bonds in Europe trade at negative yield. Government of India bonds trade at 7-8% yield. This is the kind of reputational gap` . Though he is right in the context of valuation of the bonds in Europe between two,but... So now the question which strikes the viewers/readers mind is that does comparing a company and a government of a country, right parameter to judge the value of ...

Richest Civic Body on Planet Earth ... Is it ?

It's yet another season of rains and the same story in Mumbai . BMC of Mumbai city Stated "we are rain ready" is it ? The first shower of the season stated their claim wrong. The BMC invested ₹200 crore on new water pumping-out plants but seems futile (and that too after 10 years) ,the civic body has 32,000 crore budget and they can't set-up pumping stations. where is the money ? Has money gone with the water, in their defence the concerned authorities say they received rainfall of 10 days in last 24 hrs . 19-July-2015 was no different from the previous rains what the city has to grow through , the richest civic body on planet earth is not able to stop the city from water logging. This scenario happens every year , year on year !! Today , city comes to a standstill , commuters hit hard ,education institutes were shut , private and public offices recorded minimal presence and two died being electrocuted, low areas got submerged ,Are people taxed for such grief ...

RAISE YOUR PAW :- #StopYulin2015

Many of you might be wandering what’s this Yulin festival all about. Peeps, Over 10,000 dogs every year in southern china are tortured alive, skinned alive, boiled alive, even cut/stabbed and then been ultimately eaten. This `festival` is not a festival as the name suggests, The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is, contrary to what many might believe, not even a tradition. It was initiated only in the 1990's by the corrupt looking to find a way to profit off the selling of lychee. Perhaps you might be wandering why the slaughter of Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Ducks and all the Fish don’t get so much of focus too , guys the case here is not of being eaten and killed but the Dogs are killed for the "pleasure" of taste and "diversity" of meats. These animals are tortured as much as possible, deliberately. They are skinned alive, and then they are cooked alive. Again, let me repeat that the torture is deliberate. In fact, it is the entire point of the dog & cat me...

Not a 2-minute mess!!

Taste bhi aur health bhi !! is it? In fact, many of us know, without any shadow of doubt, that the product is not good for health, but we use to eat as we eat other junk foods. With the ongoing speculations of finding excessive lead content beyond the prescribed limit and also the masala were found containing monosodium glutamate (MSG) without proper label declaration has given Nestle's biggest mass-market brand a blow. After the U.P government, today Delhi banned the product for the next 15 days and asked the company to take back the lot and come up with a fresh lot and that too getting checked before taking it on-shelf. The demand for the product has declined 10%-40% in many states, Future retail and Army canteen too took it off-shelves and states including Maharashtra, Bihar, Haryana, and many too conducting the tests. Also, the celebrities endorsing the brand has again raised a bar of questions about work ethics for them. Miss Zinta has been sued (as per reports) for promo...
