A really cheap thing to be writing about. I admit.
Something awesome happened to me four years back on this day. It was not a life changing moment, not one that will go down as one which was totally unexpected, but is something I truly cherish 4 years down the line.
Accendere is now a legal entity. Its first project is exactly a week from now.
Am I Excited: Little bit
Am I Nervous: Lots
Am I Happy: Hehe (but nostalgia is the main reason)
No opportunity to recreate the magic of Sep 20th today.... thats sad... or is it?

Rock on with the bears!!!
I am writing this at a time when the financial markets are facing a bloodbath. The newspapers are blaring headlines which predict a vanishing act by the plum pay packages. The inmates in helL and similar residences are starting to get jittery, suddenly 'investment banking' doesn't sound so lucrative. Why would you want to recruit fresh faced graduates when there are 26000 Lehmann CVs floating in the market?
Now Goldilocks is faced with a very adverse set of bears who do not want to share their porridge. The time has come for her to start enjoying the golden colored froth of diversification. The interest in candlestick plots is waning, and energies are being diverted towards the silver screen.
I just love the media who call Lehmann's fall a tale of 'greed, arrogance, indiscretion and bad luck'. The same journalists were publishing editorials on how India would sustain a growth rate of 9%, and that oil was all set to hit $250. Is it really wrong to be greedy? Is it not basic human nature, the basic ethos of capitalism?
It is amazing how greed is bemoaned both in mythology, and contemporary literature. The greedy man always loses. What exactly is ambition then? Is that not a manifestation of greed on some level?
The bears have not spared my little germinating pod either, air fares are hitting the sky and PhDs are trying to be managers. I can hear voices of protest from my partners, but it is not directed at them.
Hoping to breakeven, and not breakdown.......
