Free Texting, Free App for iPhone

Textie is a free iPhone application that sends free text messages to email addresses, most cellphones, and other Textie users. Textie doesn’t dip into your monthly messaging plan, so it’s basically unlimited texting.
While it may be free on your end, it may not be for your recipient, especially if you are [...]

Guitar Hero!

Let me present you the unforgettable and mostly forgotten song by us (Telugu). I think the original version is Hindi and please correct if I am wrong. Hindi version is amazing and with divine Kishore Kumar’s voice it is brilliantly composed tune. Then comes the Tamil version composed by Ilayaraja. Looks like it is a [...]

KCR is Thirsting for Blood – What is Your Response Going to Be?

kcr

In a meeting attended by 15,000 delegates on April 28th in Secunderabad, TRS President KCR threatened that there will be a civil war if Andhra Pradesh State is not divided.
Going by the recent wave of separatist violence, KCR might not be making empty threats. Separatist thuggery will most likely resume post December, 2010. The real [...]

Immigrant or Criminal?

arizona-immigration-law-protest

Sometimes, the news makes me cringe.  I don’t know how many of you have read about Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070.  This legislation was recently passed, making it legal for the police to stop people and demand a verification of immigration status.  The motivation behind this bill is to find immigrants who are in this country [...]

Senators Gone Too Far on Goldman!

carl levin

The readers of this blog know how much I love Goldman!! I watched some part of the ‘Goldman hearings’ yesterday. A lot of these senators’ populist rhetoric is utterly stupid. So stupid that even I felt some sympathy for Goldman.
Here is the simplified business model of Goldman

As a market maker Goldman buys and sells to [...]

Scary Facebook, Careful out there.

facebook

Folks, beware if you are a facebook user. I used to think Google as Evil company( Rakshasi) , but facebook is more criminal ( Brahma Rakshasi) .
The issue is facebook really knows who you are. Like the old saying “Tell Me Who Your Friends Are and I Will Tell You Who You Are” [...]

Tella Chokka Smruthi (The Code of White Collar)

Saradhi-Motamarri_Tella-Chokka-Smruthi-Teluguone Patrika 2Jun09

Financial Crisis, Meltdown, Free Market, Reform, Reward, ROI, Financial Markets, Profit, Market Capitalisation etc., etc., are the catch words of the day.
Recently there was a hot discussion on Free Market on MMGL too.
This is a lyric written at the backdrop of market’s collapse over the past one decade, hurt by the fact that only common [...]

Bongulo Chicken c/o Papikondalu

I learned about this from recent movie, Village lo Vinayakudu. I thought that was actually a funny name but surprised to see this video that it actually exists. Enjoy!

Stock Market Outlook

Inv_Rising_Trend

If it appears from my writings that I am heavily into stock market, that would be true in the past. But, currently I am in a time out mode. For this reason, so far on this blog I refrained from making a market call. The closest comment I made on market direction was in early [...]

A Buffet of Derivatives in the New Financial Regulation Bill?

Warren_Buffett

Remember the phrase by Mr. Buffet, “Financial weapons of mass destruction?” Not only that, several times he mocked investment bankers for little or no value they create in the economy.
That was before he himself got stuck in a deep derivatives mess in 2008. He sold European style puts on S&P and it was rumored that [...]

My Hat Tip to Chakravarthy

nalamotu-chakravarthy

For some time I have been planning to write this note of appreciation for Chakravarthy garu. I wanted to spend enough time to make sure I will hit all the points. If I waited for finding enough time, this note will lose its value.
Readers of this blog and listeners of my show know where I [...]

Early Days of Fake News

chevy-snl

I am a big fan of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Of course, that’s why one of TeluGlobe’s categories is “Fake News.”  I think Fake News is the best way to have a satirical take on some the most ridiculous current events. Fake News shows have effectively shed light on the hypocrisy of many [...]

Sex Scandal in the Middle of the Goldman Fraud Case?

fabrice-toure

His name is Fabrice Toure. He is in the central figure in the Government’s fraud case against Goldman Sachs. He was only 27 when Goldman gave him the FABulous opportunity to fleece clients and there by fleece some European retirement accounts. Blogs are referring to this sociopath of a banker (who is now 31) as [...]

Good Videos about Sri Sri.

Very good program on Sri Sri Garu. Enjoy!

A Letter from Somebody I “Loved” (For Yandamuri Fans)

A coherent arrangement of words for abstract, but cogent thoughts is what touches us. It doesn’t matter if the central idea is about life and love; or death and sorrow – the language can still touch our hearts. That is the power of language – possibly any language. The language for romance and love, some [...]
