ONE BED ROOM FLAT

A MESSAGE FROM BLOG OF ILANGOJI 


ONE BEDROOM FLAT... 




WRITTEN BY AN INDIAN SOFTWARE ENGINEER..

Bitter Reality 

As the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in 
Software Engineering and joined a company based in USA, the 
land of braves and opportunity. When I arrived in the USA, it 
was as if a dream had come true. 


Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I 
would be staying in this country for about Five years in which 
time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India.

My father was a government employee and after his retirement, 
the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat. 


I wanted to do some thing more than him. I started feeling 
homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and
speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone 
cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald's and 
pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange 
rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down. 

Finally I decided to get married. Told my parents that I have 
only 10 days of holidays and everything must be done within 
these 10 days. I got my ticket booked in the cheapest flight. 
Was jubilant and was actually enjoying hopping for gifts for 
all my friends back home. If I miss anyone then there will be 
talks. After reaching home I spent home one week going through 
all the photographs of girls and as the time was getting 
shorter I was forced to select one candidate. 


In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I would have to get 
married in 2-3 days, as I will not get anymore holidays. After 
the marriage, it was time to return to USA, after giving some 
money to my parents and telling the neighbors to look after 
them, we returned to USA. 


My wife enjoyed this country for about two months and then she 
started feeling lonely. The frequency of calling India
increased to twice in a week sometimes 3 times a week. Our 
savings started diminishing. 

After two more years we started to 
have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, were gifted to us 
by the almighty. Every time I spoke to my parents, they asked 
me to come to Indiaso that they can see their grand-children. 


Every year I decide to go to India… But part work part 
monetary conditions prevented it. Years went by and visiting 
Indiawas a distant dream. Then suddenly one day I got a 
message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I 
couldn't get any holidays and thus could not go to India ... The 
next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there 
was no one to do the last rights the society members had done 
whatever they could. I was depressed. My parents had passed 
away without seeing their grand children. 

After couple more years passed away, much to my children's 
dislike and my wife's joy we returned to Indiato settle down. 
I started to look for a suitable property, but to my dismay my 
savings were short and the property prices had gone up during 
all these years. I had to return to the USA... 


My wife refused to come back with me and my children refused to 
stay in India... My 2 children and I returned to USAafter 
promising my wife I would be back for good after two years. 

Time passed by, my daughter decided to get married to an 
American and my son was happy living in USA... I decided that 
had enough and wound-up every thing and returned to India... I
had just enough money to buy a decent 02 bedroom flat in a 
well-developed locality. 


Now I am 60 years old and the only time I go out of the flat is 
for the routine visit to the nearby temple. My faithful wife 
has also left me and gone to the holy abode. 

Sometimes 

I wondered was it worth all this? 

My father, even after staying in India, 

Had a house to his name and I too have 
the same nothing more. 

I lost my parents and children for just ONE EXTRA BEDROOM. 

Looking out from the window I see a lot of children dancing. 
This damned cable TV has spoiled our new generation and these
children are losing their values and culture because of it. I 
get occasional cards from my children asking I am alright. Well 
at least they remember me. 


Now perhaps after I die it will be the neighbors again who will 
be performing my last rights, God Bless them. 

But the question 
still 
remains 'was all this worth it?' 

I am still searching for an answer...... ......... ..!!!

START THINKING 

IS IT JUST FOR ONE EXTRA BEDROOM???

LIFE IS BEYOND THIS …..DON'T JUST LEAVE YOUR LIFE ……..
START LIVING IT ……. 
LIVE IT AS YOU WANT IT TO BE …….

PARAG PAREKH’s STYLE OF STOCK INVESTING

today i am forwarding a nice article received from Mr. Sunil Doshi, Bhopal. it is interesting for market participants.

enjoy it!

*********************************************************************************************************

After obtaining a Master’s degree in Commerce, I took up a one year Entrepreneurial Management course at a leading college in Mumbai in 1978. This course was first of its kind. It trained students to become entrepreneurs and helped them to set up their own businesses (small to medium scale industries). I did my project on setting up a plant to manufacture plastic collapsible tubes which would replace the conventional aluminum tubes. I was the only one who failed. My project was unviable to the professor whose reason was: tooth paste was sweet and if stored in plastic tubes it could be eaten up by rats. However in 1984 Essel Packaging hit the market with a similar project and it became a stock market favorite. Till today it has created a lot of wealth for its shareholders.

This experience was the turning point in my life. My father’s friend Mr. Chandrakant Sampat advised me that if I had such vision and I could make a study on businesses, I should enter the stock markets. There existed a great opportunity for such business analysts. Moreover why subject myself to the whims of the government officials, bureaucrats etc. for power, raw materials, labor problems, municipal laws etc. If a good study on a business was made, one could enter by buying the stock and exit by selling the same. No hassles. Thus came my entry in to the stock markets and I was one of the very few to do research on various businesses and identify good investment stocks.

Having grown up in a very conservative family my initial grooming was orthodox and based on certain universal principles which were not time bound. One of them was the law of the farm. You cannot sow something today and reap tomorrow. This taught me that there are no short cuts in life. This was so true in the stock markets also. Thus my style concentrated on the long term approach. This also helped me not to get swayed away by the short term temptations the markets offer from time to time. This helped me with self discipline and I was able to keep my greed and fear under control. This also helped me to look at businesses with a long term view. This long term view gave me the patience to wait for the businesses to be available at bargain prices. Enter Value Investing.

This approach was challenged in 1999/2000 during the tech boom. I went through tough times. A client would come up to me and ask about a particular tech stock. I would recommend him to sell. He will go and come back after a week to inform me that he was happy as he had not acted on my recommendation and the stock had doubled. I would insist that he was lucky but the valuations are far too stretched with the doubling of the stock price and he must sell now. Three months later he would come back happy as he had not sold. This led me in to a depressive state. I started wondering if I was out of synch with the fast changing world. What did I need to do? My inner compass told me that these were temporary crazy times and sanity would prevail. How could you have tech stocks quoting in triple digit PE’s? It was against any valuation parameters. Utterly confused by the ways of the market I was going through a turbulent period.

One day I was reading the Economist and I came across an advertisement on a program at the Harvard University, “Investment Decisions and Behavioral Finance”. I enrolled myself and proceeded to Boston to attend the program. That was another deflection point in my career. I realized that if I were to be a successful investor then knowledge of Behavioral Finance was utmost necessary. I pursued my research and study in the field and with every passing day my confidence as an investor increased and so did my knowledge of understanding the markets. I have authored two books “Stocks to Riches: Insights in to Investor Behavior” and “Value Investing and Behavioral Finance: Insights in to Stock Market Realities”. Both the books portray the common sense approach to investing.

Investing is no rocket science. It’s all about common sense. An MBA degree does not guarantee investment expertise, but humility does. Experience teaches you over time. So one must always be prepared for continuous learning. And what could be our best teachers? Failures and setbacks. Learn from every mistake and keep the following in mind.

1. Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful.

2. Buy low and sell high.

3. There are no short cuts in life.

4. Opportunities don’t come every day. “LUCK” is preparedness for an opportunity.

5. Never chase a fancy for you end up paying a fancy price and suffer a fancy loss when the fancy ends.

6. “Intelligence and Brilliance carries the day but it is the Wisdom that endures”. Peter Drucker

7. One is always learning so have the courage and humility to always ask “WHY”.

Waiting for another deflection point. Knowing full well that it will teach me something more and make me better and wiser and move forward
