Hi Shubham Singal,
I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has
been short-listed for inclusion in the seventh edition of
our Schmap London Guide, to be published late June 2009.
One of my pictures selected :) Feels Great!
Golden Gate Bridge

Just uploaded the picture of Golden Gate Bridge on Flickr! Remembering the time I spent in San Francisco. The Beach was perfect, the company was perfect, the weather was perfect and I guess though the picture might not be perfect, it is quite nice :)
If you like the picture then do comment on the flickr page! I look forward to your comments / suggestions.
On 26th April 2009, Sunday, a play was held by Desires Unlimited Productions in the heart of Delhi. Just besides Kamani Auditorium a group of youngsters conducted a fabulous play called Shit Happens! A good number of them were from my batch from IIT Delhi.
The play was truly awesome! It took me back to the IIT days. The acting, the sense of humor, the stage setup, the practical jokes, everything was perfect. Director Himshwet has done amazingly well and I must congratulate him. I should also congratulate the rest of the cast.
The play also had me thinking how wonderful it would be to have a hobby like this. To work during the week and participate in some activity like this over the weekend. May be the new working life might provide such opportunities.
Oh boy! This really has me a bit irritated :(
I am trying to setup feedburner for my blog at strat.in and guess what, google has completed messed FeedBurner. Just go to to the FeedBurner Support Page for self hosted Wordpress Blogs.
And when you click download the plugin, it shows a failed page :(
The page says "What to do" and I am actually wondering what to do :(
I have searched on the net and everywhere the plugin should be available redirects to this link only. One of the many problems faced with centralization.
Though I have blogged a little bit during my IIT days, but I think the only time I have done some serious blogging was during 2006-07. I was working, was online a lot of time and basically could pen my thoughts on my blog quite easily. Shubh-Hub became decently popular also during that time.
In the past 2 years, I have being quite dismal. I did a lot of mistakes including losing my domain name, my hosting and most of all did not post much. This time however I am trying to learn and bring out something better.
I feel I can blog better if the blog has a theme. That is reason why Strat.In has been started! I along with a couple of friends from IIM Calcutta have started this blog and want to post our business thoughts and ideas on it. Slowly we hope to grow it out and include many more writers! Lets see how that goes, but if you do read my blog I would encourage you to subscribe to Strat.In as well. It has some really nice posts and a lot more is expected. Your support will be highly appreciated!
I just read a report which claims that according to Technical Analysis, Indian sensex can reach 1,00,000 by 2025. Wow! Can this really be true? Well the opinions will definitely vary but I am quite doubtful.
According to Wikipedia, "Technical analysis is a security analysis technique that claims the ability to forecast the future direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume."
Although this form of analysis can probably predict the markets very well but can it predict something which is 16 years away? What about fundamentals? What about the state of the country?
Technical Analysis can basically look at the history of Indian markets and make prediction based on reasonable assumptions which they make. But they probably have not heard the famous dialogue "It happens only in India!"! India is a country which has not been able to provide roads, electricity and clean water to every citizen, forget about providing education! India is a country where elections are still won by saying 'roti, kapda aur makaan'! India is a country where scams like Satyam are still happening!
If these factors don't seem enough then think about this, India is still short of power, companies don't get power and also pay higher price for it. Roads are pathetic, and cities are dying. The infrastructure is crumbling.
To me this seems impossible, but then lets see ... Miracles do happen and they do happen in India :)
I have had a Flickr account since way back in 2006. But I never really got to using it. The main reason behind this was because I never really arranged my photographs!
Since I have started using a macbook I have started categorizing my pics and I believe that I do take some good photographs once in a while! A picture which is worth preserving, worth commenting!
I will try to take more such pictures in the future and post them to Flickr regularly. Some of them might also be published in this blog! Hope to see your comments on the blog & Flickr!
