OCEAN KAMALA

 OCEAN KAMALA

My interaction with the divine

God said : “Today is the last day of life your life. I don’t want to design it and therefore give you the freedom to be the architect of your life.”

Curious Kamala said: “Really? I am so happy not because, today is my last day. But because I have the power to design my life myself”

God : “ Curious Kamala, what do you wish to do, considering today is your last?

Curious Kamala : “ Dance like nobody is watching me, travel like I don’t have to think of petrol or traffic, discover the wildlife, stand on the tip of the mountain and inhale deeply, laugh my lungs out, just pay one holy visit to all my friends and  family members, temples and my favorite hangouts, sleep on my mother’s lap, listen to my father’s childhood stories,dip into veda, jyotisha, arthashastra (economics),poetry,literature,philosophy…. never hold any thoughts in mind about anybody be it anger or crush …..But all said and done I want to establish an identity of my own by being an entrepreneur…..

God : All this in one day? It is an ocean ….

Ocean  Kamala : If it is a wish this is what I wish…if am the architect, this is how I would design my last day. I don’t want to dream anymore, it is time to live my dreams.

God : Thathasthu, call me when you are done…..Mrutyunjaya is not just about conquering death, it is perhaps  “your only way of life” …

Ocean  Kamala, is a mansion of thought provoking ventures having Freedom and Passion as its strong pillars . Jump into this ocean and let the waves of perseverance bless you for eternity….Indeed, life is worth it…..

Disclaimer : STOCK MARKET

I DID MENTION – DIDN’T I?

You don’t have to panic on a bad day

Remember, There is always light

At the end of the tunnel

If the market is down a certain day

Be happy you have a new ray

To buy fresh is what they say

To cherish good days

You need to experience bad days

I’m Happy discovering new ways

Earlier I called dealer a butcher

later  graduated  him to be a fighter .now I declare,

Dealer as a gambler

yes, I mentioned : didn’t I ?

That profit isn’t a rare possibility

Just that loses have more frequency…

IS IT OK TO BE...TO BE OR NOT TO BE....

Is it ok to be…

To be lost in thoughts and in dreams

Be in trance and ignore the present

And light a smile lasting only for a while?

To take life seriously is foolish for sure

When life in itself isn’t for sure

Life might last for a day more for you

But a day will come when you breathe your last too

Though as I child I always heard:

Do not focus on temporary happiness

Be it the relations you hold or the objects you possess

Remember, it is only the stronger that lasts longer

Now I thoroughly reconsider on all I heard

I enjoyed navaratri with different people in different places

In different ways on different days, played different roles

Each day was special in its own way

While I unwind the days I just passed, I have a new thought blossoming

Telling me “it doesn’t matter who you are and what you do,

All that matters is how you do and how you feel”

MY family, MY friends, MY feelings, MY dreams, MY life

This is where the problem lies

Being one’s biggest boon and also bane

Not realizing life is so short for anything to be called MINE

Constantly I develop relations witheverything that’s not MINE

TO LIVE LIFE NOW IS THE ONLY THING IN LIFE…. so it is ok to be …..

To be lost in thoughts and in dreams

Be in trance and ignore the present

And light a smile lasting only for a while, as

LIFE IS NOW JUST FOR A WHILE

FOR WHOM IS THIS BUTTER?

FOR WHOM IS THIS BUTTER?

Every battle has a winner and a loser

When share value falls and clients lose their treasure,

Who is the winner: Company or the investor?

If it is neither, then who is enjoying the real butter?

We as traders customize trading calls,

For traders and investors, customizing our trading by:

Converting every investor to a trader and a trader to a loser

End of the day neither the client survives nor is the dealer left with a satisfying smile

Not that profit is a rare possibility

Just that loses have more frequency

With clients adrenaline increasing its intensity

Their stocks begin to leak financial vitality

It is a vicious circle to be lost

Once you find yourself, you don’t even want to look back

Back in B-School I remember reading ‘Trading as a zero-sum game’

Now when I look back at broking I experience trading to be a negative game

If life is about the journey and not destination

And everyday negotiation is getting to be a burden

Then it means life is calling out with a message for me to ‘MOVE ON’

Life is worth more than broking arbitration

Be it a trader or an investor,

It is broking firm that sucks the butter

Turning dealer as a butcher

Though it is he who churns the butter

COUP DE GRACE

COUP DE GRACE

(Leaving Bangalore)

Didn’t expect your journey to last so short

May be I took your stay here for granted

Or didn’t realize the intensity of your emotion

Just when I began to live – u r Leaving Bangalore

Back there in Chennai, I had a great time

Travelling beside the beach

Thinking if I could trust you on that empty road

Just when I began to trust - u r Leaving Bangalore

My emotions thrown open like an exhibition

With all its hallucination and illusion

You tuned me well being a magician

Just when I began to become a human - u r Leaving Bangalore

Blamed you when u weren’t at fault

Quit speaking when I was at fault

U helped me understand the value of a relation

Just when I began to value our relation - u r Leaving Bangalore

When prank was my food, anger my rest

Irritation my routine, insensitivity my way of life

Your silence groomed me to who I am now

Just when I found me – I see you Leaving Bangalore…..

Nothing doing

Nothing Doing

When I don’t understand which order to place…………….

I feel a little out of place

Struggling hard to get back to my actual pace

And trade with stocks that I can trace

How many stocks to chase

And continue this rat race

It is hard to continue these days

When I don’t understand which order to place……………

Remember : It is every broker's feeling

Remember, these are your feelings

 Just the words are mine

Life is such a repetition sometimes

With the same old place, people and work

No change in anything

Except for some mails that drop in

‘Congratulations on the new born baby’

‘Adieu, Its been a pleasant journey till date  

Today is my last day here’

Broking as an industry is shrinking

And the job security : A threatening

With each  broker here, dreaming

Of one day being crowned as a king

To finally see a racist here, heading

Be it in Franchising or Broking or even Recruiting

It is time to wake up and shine

Welcome the new day saying, it is all fine

Remember, broking isn’t your only lifeline

But be the best while you are in this line

Do not forget, while you relax and dine

That these are your feelings,

But only words are mine
