On the path..
How does it feel when you try something that intimidates you?
I was a kid and the the very mention of it used to scare the hell out of me. I entered college and it still remained a terror to me. One fine day (with lot of apprehension) I tried to break these shackles of self-imposed fear. And then I bought 10 shares of TCS at 1115. Why?? May be I wanted to give it a try - May be I wanted make some easy money - May be I wanted to do what many others are doing day in and day out - Whatever may be this 'may be', but I did it - God knows 'WHY??'!! My state was very similar to a person who tries alcohol for the first time without knowing 'WHY the hell he is doing it'!! Interesting!!
This was the first time.
Now what did this do to me!! I started reading the most dreaded newspaper ('The Economic Times'), switched from MTv to CNBC and saw those scrolling numbers everyday. To me, they are still numbers, but I am sure 'someday' they will not be mere numbers to me.
Look at the transformation - From a timid guy who was scared that he may lose money if he makes a wrong choice, to a guy who believes that you must take risk if you want to move ahead, otherwise you will have to join-the-mob!
Previously, my 'only' respite from pressures of work was to compose a mail and wave a big big 'hi' to my friends! At times, I felt what a time-kill this is - but my options were limited. Now, I must confess, at times I even forget to check my mails. I visit moneycontrol.com more often than hotmail.com! I am just loving it! Guess, the more I speak of it, the more I will like it!
Never thought I would be able to talk about these plummetting and rising stocks with my colleagues, friends, my dad!! Never thought that I will blog on a topic like this!! Everything that is happening is 'Never thought of...'!! I hope, in future, I do lot many things which I never thought I would do!!
All I would like to say is - "There is nothing like uninteresting subject.. there are only uninterested people."
cheers..

PS: for all those inquisitive souls - I sold my TCS shares at 1160.
