I use to go to jagran for news in hindi , today when i went it redirected me here. Looks like Jagran hosting has been taken over by yahoo . I found the new layout quite refreshing . Font is good , layout is good and content is for everyone . Surprising part is Jagran site is different from yahoo hindi site which is also hosted at yahoo so we have two different content site on Yahoo India serving same set of users . This is anyway good for users like me .

With P-Notes (what are p-notes ?) being surely going to be stopped , there seems no stopping sensex going downward. With the kind of crazy high we have seen in the last month with so much money being pumped in by FII’s (roughly 80b$ of which around 50% is through p-notes) so now there seems to be rush of taking money out and hence the fall seems to be no stopping.

Really speaking it was expected because as FM said he was not comfortable with the rise of the rupee and sensex not reflecting the state of the economy , whereby sensex seems overheated but economy was cool.

What does future hold for investors like me ? One thing is for sure Indian economy outlook is great for the long term as it is expected to grow by 8-10% so if you are for long term then spend in quality stock and hold on and make informative decisions.

With Left and Congress fighting on nuclear issue and giving there own versions of the agreement , first question that come to my mind was why don’t they go inside a room with a copy of the document and just sought out the issue , that’s what happen in any set up. Congress can clarify all the issues point by point to left . Yesterday there was a debate on NDTV and one of the Left leader was saying that USA wont allow us to do this and that , with congress leader replying by saying whatever implied by the left is wrong and he can bring the copy of the text on whichever day Left leader want and go over point by point.
Well a simple google search can point to the agreement available here for Left’s understanding if they want to read it by removing there blinkered USA vision.

Can’t believe that we play rugby also and on top of it wins something at international level.
But here is the story and confirmed by other sources that India under 14 has won the world cup beating South Africa. Team was made up mostly of tribals from Orissa.
One more chak de Moment.

Having bought a house from Mantri and Sobha developers (Still waiting for possession) in Bangalore thought it will be good to narrate the experiences.
Mantri I bought earlier and found dealing with them much smooth as there customer representatives are much amicable and usually accommodate delay in payments compared to Sobha there customer rep’s are bit aggressive and probably depends on there brand to carry them through as Sobha has good vibes in bangalore compared to Mantri , with Sobha they don’t accommodate any delay in payment and will pose fine upto 18% for any delay .
With Mantri some bargaining is possible on cost of the flat but with Sobha bargain is no-no .
Mantri gave possession of the houses in advance and with Sobha delivery is a concern as it is getting delayed which was anyway told by my friends earlier who bought house that Sobha projects normally gets delayed .
Quality wise haven’s seen anything yet from Sobha as still waiting for the possession but Mantri quality is above average and so is priced accordingly .

Sobha factor the quality in price so it’s case of what you get is what you pay.
Overall for people looking for house and has boiled down to these two developers my suggestion would be to consider how long are you eager to wait and what is the budget you have in mind as Sobha is on higher side and there projects gets delayed .

Hope somebody finds this experience valuable. Leave comments for any other insight .
