Personal Finance WebSites

Indian markets are getting mature but the same kind of maturity should happen in personal finance space also. Only a very sites (on line) provide this (portfolio management )service. The only pit stop that every body looks is Money Control. I think this is only website where most of individual investors have their portfolio maintained for real time data. BTW share Khan doesn't have it. Money Control is good but its pretty slow the opening page itself taking too much to open since it contains lottts of data with flash and others. Yesterday i came across this website investment yogi a new site for personal finance. it was really good and its worth trying, i have already decided that this website will be my personal finance guide. It's in beta version you can suggest few things which you need. Any way its good to see more growth is happening in personal finance space.

NSE here I (We) come

After a quite a longggggggggggg period, submitting three times applications for demat account opening with icici direct failed. Finally i opened with an account with shareKhan. Quite ok. Tested the app yesterday withdrew some money, transfered some money and bought some (very small i am very small investor) shares. Good to start guys. ShareKhan has an offer for 49 /- they are opening an online demat trading account. Its high time to invest in market guys. Vrooommmmmmmmm go ahead and invest

Sharing your DataPool values across workspace WID

During development we are forced to use different workspace because of n number of issues. If we do changing the workspace we will lose that data which we added in our datapool while using TestComponent facility in WID. To over come this we found shortcut go to your old workspace folder open .metdata folder under that look
folder named com.ibm.wbit.comptest.ui copy that folder.

Paste the folder in your new workspace .metedata folder. Bravo !!!! you got all your old datapool values no need of entering again.

Thanks to keshav who gave this tip to us.

uninstall applications which has process instace running or hanging WPS/WID

Most of us face this problem in development some times (sry most of the times :-) ) we are not able to uninstall application which has process instance running. you will not be able to terminate the process or stop. To overcome this, there is a solution which i found in WID forums thought of sharing good one. use the below command to do the uninstall of application

Go to u r bin directory and run this command

wsadmin -lang jacl -f ../ProcessChoreographer/admin/bpcTemplates.jacl -uninstall MyModuleApp -force

In the place of MyModuleApp give your application name. This commands connects to the server and unistall the application.

Is Physikalische Erscheinung important or not

Don't get confuse about the title ( Physikalische Erscheinung ) try translate this, a little work guys. ok ok don't get angry the translated meaning is physical appearance. From my college days till now most of the people whom i crossed asked me a question about my Erscheinung. First i will tell my apperance i will not regurarly cut my hair and beard also, hair cut iam not used to guys here in BLR. so i have to get it cut when i go to my home town. But about beard i love to have (iam sorry i can't exactly tell) anyterms i loving it. The persons who asks me about my apperance in order parents, relatives, colleagues, people out side of work and atlast friends. The last people won't ask me again and again if i have explained then once this is the way i would, they accept. But others whenever they see me the bingo question pops -up.

One more important question can you decide a person based on his physical apperance?, is there any barometer (measuring instrument to do it). As far as my knowledege the answer is NO. Especially in Indian IT industry the physcial apperance has grown in deep roots, and it affected the mind set of people. If a person works in IT he should have very good in P apperance. One question to industry if a very good P apperance guy doesn't do well, he is in bottom of the rating what will u do. Keep him because he is clean. At the same time if moderate P apperance guy does very well, what r u going to do, throw him out because the P apperance is bad.

Physicall apperance doesn't matter to unless the work he/she has done is correct. From long time iam debating this issue with all my friends and what ever they argue. My final conclusion is that Physicall apperance is not at all measuring instrument.
For sales/marketing/people who face customers, a very minor of P apperance is apply. (minor,minor and iam not a specialist to digg into the level of minor) if you expect them to be models where you see in posters and Ads iam sorry i am not the guy.
For a person whom he/she doesn't even have contact to the customer for example back-office guys(call center), they have to come in clean shaved, formals dresses and tie. I have heard they are some situations their rating gets affected by this, that means they have been checked every day by some one. My God save this people

This was a long time issue that hindered me, and i want to share with ALL.

Short Break (aka Trip)

Last week some of our colleague's went for a trip to Rajiv Gandhi National Park NagaraHole, It was amazing experience

Since the forest guest house at nagarahole is available for us on saturday afternoon, we decided to stay Friday night at Mysore and then travel to nagarahole, as everyone is ok with the plan. we started our journey at 01700 hrs, forget to introduce crew(trip) memebrs peddi,keshav, vinod, parashu, vaidy and ofcourse me. Two vechicels Santro's were squeezed by traffic bangalore but keshav helped in getting few shorcuts and finally we are out of bangalore traffic and in mysore highway. After that we were started hitting our accelarator's, the roads are good. we reached maddur around 7:30 to 8:00. Pitstop at Maddur tiffiny's had maddur vada and coffee. Then again start after maddur there were sudden speed bumps that too without any identification or signboard. For the first one we couldn't see, it came suddenly luckly we are safe. After that we were very carefull at the start of village.

Check the Map

we reached mysore around 9:30 to 10:00, we had booked hotel dasprakash went in dumped out luggage took a quick refresh and out for dinner, we planned dinner at The Green hotel when we reached there it was almost closing time. some how the guy took order and gave food. After small drink and dinner back to hotel. Once in hotel started playing cards for an hour. every one exhausted so decided to call it a day, headed back to respective rooms and had a nice sleep.

The next morning saturday, woke up and got ready. we went to keshav home, keshav sings very well. He has a band named SAMYUTKH. He has built a small studio for their use, it was very nice. Most of the guys sang some songs in studio. After that we meet his parents. They gave us some snacks so that we can have it on the way. we started our journey to nagarahole.

The road was very good newly laid one, it was smooth. we reached the forest entrance secuirty gurad took some signature and told us not to stop any where in between the road. Inside the forest the road was not bad, we saw lot of deer, at once we saw couple of hyena's crossing the road. we reached the forest office and told the details that we have booked a room but the guy in the office was telling that he has not received any message and told us to wait.

The forest guest house was booked by peddi, he knows some person and that guy helped in booking. After more than an hour the guy told us go to near by place(KUTTA) and have lunch come back. By that time he told he will contact and get it confirmed. So we went to kutta to have lunch.It was kerala resturant since i have problem with kerala rice(brown one) for safer side i and keshav ordered parotta and egg cury. all other guys ordered rice. peddi and vinod liked the fish curry very much they ordered some fish fry (methi), they were in full swing. vaidy was in pretty bad condition he was vegie, it was hard time.He was not able to eat any thing, so he went for bonda, tea and banana's.

After that we came back to park, fought with the guys got the rooms and went to safari ride.
It was last ride for the day so far none of the ride has seen any animals, but we were lucky we were able to see elephants. guys got excited and started clicking photos. The driver in the bus told not on the flash, before we switch off the flash one elephant got confused and it was coming to hit the bus. My god some of the people in the bus got scared and started screaming but luckily it didn't attack.It came very near and went back. If it attacked keshav, peddi and me were sitting facing the elephant. It could we worse(bad) experience. we crossed elephants and continued the safari and saw lot of deers.

Evening we played some footy(rugby), peddi has brought the kit for playing. it was fun, while playing we see one of wild pig crossing across the road it was huge tried for taking shot but missed. Then it was dark entire forest came under nature control, we started our regular way of enjoying (Drinks) and it continued till midnight. keshav made that occasion more beautiful by singing some no lot of songs for us.

The next day we woke and vacated the guest house and headed for Irupu falls some KM away, it was small water fall but enjoyed. parashu, peddi and i jumped in to the water rest of them stayed away. The force of water is massive we tried to go directly under the falls but was impossible so we enjoyed staying near to it. we were in the falls for more than an hour, by the time it was afternoon. so decided to start our way back to home. Crossed the forest and touched highway crusing all the way to mysore. we had our lunch at mysore around 4:00 to late but it was ok nice food. It was a dabba keshav took us there.

Then on the way to bangalore we planned to stop at channa patna to buy some dolls for peddi's daughter. It was heavily raining when we crossing mandya, we are forced to drive very slow the rain. At last reached blr heavy trafic dropped keshav at his home, i and peddi started our way. The others guys took a different route. In short the trip was good, it was different experience spending some time out of busy(naaa!) work. Looking forward more such trips.
