Disneyland - The happiest place on earth!

Yah I went to Disneyland (California) last week. I was in San Diego visiting my friends for the new year. When we were dicussing where we wanted to go on Saturday the 30th of December, Disneyland came up. At first i thought what the hell i am too old to be dancing around with mickey mouse ( actually i am just 24). but since no one wanted to go to sea world or palm springs, we decided to go to Disneyworld - California Adventure.

Once we reached there, i saw that there were actually a lot of young people like us. I thought there are many crazy people like us. but once we started going on different rides, it felt so good. I felt i was a child again and it was not long before i found myself running around trying to go on all the thrill rides possible. I wanted to eat cotton candies, icecream from the carts( though it was very cold) , do everything i used to love to do as a kid. I felt i was 10 or 12 years old. There was so much happiness in the air - Families and Kids running around, children asking for goodies, scared to get on the rides etc .

To top it all there was disney parade in the end with all the characters. I thought i would not interest me at all. But i sat through the whole parade and i relived all my old favorite characters.

Disneyland is the happiest place in earth and that day was one of my happiest day in the United States.

Amazing Praha with great Czechs

I wrote this when i was in Praha 2 weeks ago during my eurotrip but for got to post it. The reason for for my euro trip was to get know the country's culture and i got the with 35 km bike to karlsten castle from prague. My ride was hard. Changes in slope, losing my way, running out water, friends with cramps; i face every issue imaginable. I even had flat tire on one bike. But i fixed it. Anyways, the post is about the czechs. They helped my friends and i every time we were in trouble. Like a fellow cyclist who helped us get to a different to find part of the route. Like the lady in the middle of no where came out of her house to get us back on the right route when she saw that we were lost. Like the bartender who directed me to the next town because he did not have what we wanted. Like the restaurant owner and worker who helped us with some multivitamin drinks and a smile :-) All these czech people live outside of prague. They were so courteous. Always smiling. even if we did not...

My 2 Cents on the IPL

IPL = Indian Premier League. India's answer to the EPL (UK), NFL (USA) etc. I am sure there are zillions of articles/blogs on the web that gives its views on the IPL. This entry of mine came about because of another blog entry by my friend Gordon . Gordon has an interesting and good analysis on the business strategies that various franchises owners in IPL are using. Anyways, this is how the franchise system works. It has been around the US (and other parts of the world for a long time). It all depends on why an individual owns a franchise. There can be various reasons - 1. You loves the game so much that you want be involved in it. In this is the case, money comes secondary. You just want to win for yourself and for your team's fans. Once you start winning, more fans, more money. You will break even late but the profits (or losses) will be greater. I think Kolkata KnightRiders fall in this category. Other international examples - New York Yankees (Baseball), Dallas Mavericks...

iwillteachyoutoberich.com

My friend Sonal recently recommended to me this blog about personal finance for young people. It is called http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com. Sounds like a scam, doesn't it? At first i was skeptical too. Reading the blog and researching it over the web made me realise - this guy can really help me. The blog is written by a recent Stanford guy, Ramit Sethi . Yes, he is of Indian decent. I think for me, this fact strengthened his genuineness :-)He also recently realised a book under the same name - I will teach you to be rich. I have bought that book. Personally, i think i am ok with personal finance. I am risk taker by nature.and I have been putting a lot of time into reading about it and learning. I have also taken some advice from a financial advisor for my investments. But I was having problems managing simple things. I needed a method to manage the zillions of accounts that i have currently. Yah, I have managed to do that like most young guys just out of schools. Most of the...
