Lately I’ve been hard to reach
I’ve been too long on my own
Everyone has a private world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me, are you trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me, and I’m reaching out for you

I guess, I am not alone…even Eminem was hibernating !!
Titli daboch li maine,
Zindagi khyal ki tere.
Saare Jahan ki jannat,
Muthi mein aa gayi mere!!

And, there are a lot of times I wish I could !!
It so happened, one person argued that he was doing lot of work, lot of good work. So he should be given a pay hike. But since equality has to be maintained in the house, so everyone should be given a pay hike and increase in perks. So a poll was conducted, as to who wants pay hike.
Majority of them said they needed a pay hike. And, since this is a democratic country, and in democracy, majority wins.
So, every one was awarded a Pay Hike.
Yes, that’s what happens in the Indian Parliament. All our MPs awarded themselves a hefty pay hike. How did they decide whether it was required or not?? Well they voted themselves whether they needed a pay hike or not. Yes, Dance of Democracy at its best!!!
I wish my company would also go for a democratic solution to increase my pay also!!

‘It would be no surprise if the trees and vines of Afghanistan suspended their growth one day, fearful that if their roots were to lengthen they might come into contact with a landmine buried near by.’
For all those who are wondering,
The Shares of Bharti Airtel have not gone down (on the contrary they have gained). The shares have been split in the ratio of 1 : 2. That means, for every one share you had of Bharti Airtel, now you will have 2 in your demat account, and the cost of the shares is halved. This is to improve the liquidity of the stock as many more people will be able to buy it. (I seriously don’t understand how though!!)
Why it is not showing in your Demat Account ?? Well, because it usually takes some time for the split shares to be reflected in your statement, something of the order of 1 week to 2 weeks.
As for my position on the stock, while I recommend hold until the levels of Rs475 (or Rs 950 for the unsplit stock).
Why I am writting this post?? (Those of you who follow this place regularly would have asked this question!!)
Many of the search engines were pointing to this blog for Bharti Airtel Stock Split query, I guess a result of my cribbing about Bharti Airtel Service, so I decided to help them out!!
