Irattai Kilavi - Sweetness of Tamil Language

Filed under: Personal, Movie Talkies, News

I just woke up from my sleep after swallowing 2 fever tablets. I’m feeling very uneasy with my fever since yesterday evening as it prevents me from doing my work as usual. With all the pain, feverish I drove back from JB to KL this morning..I had no choice as I need to appear in the office tommorow…not forgeting 3 meetings.

Ouchhh my body still aches horribly with pulsating headaches !
Leave all that aside, Today I need to write about " Irratai Kilavi" (IR), well it doesn’t mean Double Old lady !! The meaning totally differ…Iratai Kilavi is gramattical term widely used in tamil preferably for Poem or rhyme, One can refer to Tholkapium.Iratai killavi is nothing but repeated sounds - syllable without any meaning. If you could recall Kannodu Kanbathelam song from Jeans, the meaning is clearly described. " Sala -Sala irattai killavi , Taga-Taga Irattai Killavi undalo tamilil undalo , Pirithi vaithal Nyayam illai, Pirrithi paarthal porulum illai, Rendalo irandum ondralo" Most of ARR songs embedded IR widely,  which easily make one song hit, this is world renowned truth, well reasearched and analysed. But mind you this words is meaningless if it survive as single word, try breaking them..!! Example most of you would have watch Roja today " Chinna- Chinna -China asai ( double words) and everyone knows this song won many awards and we hymm till today…Ilayaraaja is one of them..Many people perhaps haven’t listened to Raaja Sir’s "Sanghathil paadatha" Song, it became hit very recently after almost 15 years, Thanks to Jaya TV for screening the Maestro’s live concert " Andrum Indrum Endrum". He performed beautiful Violin instrumentation for this song at ITALY.

"..Sindhi then senthoora ithalgalil , sindhi then paigindra uravvai, Konjum thaan Konjathaan.." Song from Auto Raja ( Sanghathil Paadatha Kavithai). "Sindhithen .. Sindhi Then"  have double meaning it could be either "Think/Recalling" or "Honey drops" same goes to " Konjumthan .. Konjathan" it could mean
"love passionately" or "a little" , Marvellous Song. Listen to this song completely, try to digest the lyrics..Awesome.Some history of me learning tamil, I never attend any tamil school to learn tamil , my tamil is soooo bad during school days. When I was in Primary school I didn’t utter any tamil words with my classmates, not only me well the whole class is like that !! Till now we don’t know the reason..It is my own initiative, starting is very painful as I have no one to help me, Thanks to Mr.Murugesu ( I took tamil class from him when Im 14years old) at school. In the mid year the POL (People’s Own language) class got scrapped off, we’re left without a tamil Sir since then. He was my backbone, He used to scold me if my pronounciation is wrong !! followed by The Late Mr.Uthuman Ghani Sir and Meenakshi Sabapathy who have instilled and be a role model in my life to read, learn and live tamil.

OK time to take my medicine now…

TuneMoney.com

Filed under: Investment, News

TuneMoney.com is talk of the town nowdays. Airasia brought life to many people in this globalized world, which made the world shrink. Anyone can travel anywhere with cheapest reasonable fares on the air. Plus alot more of value added services that it is offering ranging from Travelling (core business)Merchandise , Budget Hotel and now TuneMoney. They have strategically optimised all the oppurtunities "couragessly" ( i need to say this as Tony flipped the coins at right side and turned bankrupt company into a million dollar Asset). I was going through TuneMoney and was rather surpised to see that one can get themselves protected with mere RM45 per year !!!! They have few type of Insurance, I was attracted to Housing Insurance. Previously i requested a quote from my existing Insurance Agent and it seems to be heavenly priced at 7K++ per year, I kept his quote in KIV before deciding (even till today we haven’t decided). I’m flabbergasted to see TuneMoney offers only 1K++ for a extensive coverage including the house itself + assets in the house & natural disaster. The best part is ; Tunemoney has no middle person such as sales broker, very transparent, no service charges and it offers D-I-Y concept. And I believe you can upgrade the package whenever you like.

GOOD OFFERS !! HURRY UP they are promoting X’Mas Offers now !! You might stand a chance to get some discounted rate. :)

Malaysia KLCI Update

Yesterday KLCI marked up crossing 1302 pts at the closing, it went up by +3.9 pts on Friday. As all of you are aware, the Index went down upto 1170 pts few weeks back. This will be right time for investment, So I bought few thousand units which was sold at 0.21 cents last week.. yesterday when I checked my fund’s performance it is approaching 0.25 cents, so just in few weeks,  each unit has grown by 4 cents , the best part the fund was just launched 2 months back emoticon, and it is being sold like hot cake. 

The economist predict that it may touch upto 1300pts by end of this year. If you have read Budget report today 2008, PM mentioned that Unit Trust industry is booming with capital investment in local and overseas.

Stretch your Ringgits

I was trully amazed when i received numerous message on Uncle Ravi’s note. Thanks to the wonderful readers, some appreciated the experience shared, some requested me to continue writing on investment, some wanted to invest and i have fixed the appointment and some pending meeting with them.

Let me tell you another true story how does a financialy freed person is living. It is none other than my bf dad. He 60 years old man now, 2 children all are grown up and working. He started diversifying into investment many-many years back, could be when i was still studying during my colleges. He had invested on property and also equity market. Few years back he bought a double storey house and paid cash, he has a car and most importantly he does not need to make the bank richer by paying hefty interest. He is NOT squeezed by inflation and well he is NOT WORKING. He is enjoying his golden days watching ASTRO and sipping a cuppa of hot coffe when some of the other people at his age are still struggling coping with life and financial. An elderly husband and wife is separated because they need to take care of their grandchildren in 2 different house ( daughter’s house and Son’s house), both their children are working and need someone to stay in with them. Im not saying it is unrealistic, ideally not something we want to go through during our golden age.

When we’re talking about legal investment it is not only UNIT TRUST but also on property, Insurance & bonds. You must always PLANT THIS IN YOUR BRAIN THAT ANYTHING THAT YOU INVEST , THE RETURNS MUST BEAT THE INFLATION RATE. Else you are making a loss by saving weaker Ringgits. Stretch your dollars….twist your coins and smile when you see your $$ Account balance $$ .emoticon Good LUCK - ONBVN

What Every Investor Should Know about China ?

Morningstar has an office in mainland China in Shenzhen, a city just over the border from Hong Kong. I spent little over a month there earlier this year, ostensibly to help train some of the equity analysts we’ve hired here to cover Chinese shares for us. But my main motivation for going was to gather as many insights as I could about the booming Chinese economy via an immersive learning experience. This article will focus on my insights, as well as those accumulated by my colleagues who have also made the journey.

First, some background information. Much of what you hear about the boom is absolutely true. Signs of the exploding economic activity are everywhere. While Shenzhen is a boom town in itself and growing faster than China as a whole, it is still quite shocking to see the literally hundreds of construction cranes that dot the skyline. Shenzhen has gone from a population of 300,000 to more than 12 million (and still going strong) since it was set up as a "special economic zone" in 1980 meant to attract business from around the globe. Companies are migrating here, meeting a mass migration of people from China’s rural areas to urban areas.

In the cities (where I spent nearly all of my time), the technology and lifestyle is really not much different than what you would find anywhere in the developed world. People are driving cars, talking on cell phones, using PCs, and watching high-definition televisions. One advantage that China has is that it is "leapfrogging" many technologies. For instance, when a Chinese person goes online for the first time, it is often not dial-up, but rather broadband. Forget wired telephones, they all seem to have advanced cell phones.

Visiting China in 2007 is a bit like visiting Silicon Valley in 1999 at the height of the dot-com era. Things are happening at light speed, and the economy is white hot here, but caution is certainly warranted. The economy has grown at a 10%-13% rate for several years in a row, and on a purchasing power parity basis (excuse the economist-speak), the Chinese economy now has a GDP of about US $10 trillion, trailing only the EU and the U.S. at roughly US $13 trillion each. (After adjusting for currency effects, the actual value is much lower, but that’s another story.) The bottom line is that like it or not, you cannot be a student of the modern world economy without taking time to study China. It is simply too large a force to be ignored.

So what’s driving this growth? The ingredients in the explosion are 1.3 billion people (it’s the world’s most populous nation, accounting for about 20% the global population) meeting a steadily liberalising economic environment, fuelled by copious amounts of foreign capital looking for cheap labour, helped along by the technological "leapfrogging" I spoke of earlier.

China’s Competitive Advantages
Clearly, China has some competitive advantages relative to the rest of the world, otherwise companies would not be expanding in China at a break-neck pace. There is no doubt that China is a very low-cost provider, but why is that?

I think one reason has to do with the country’s lax environmental restrictions, or at least a willingness to accept a greater share of the world’s pollution. One of the benefits of America exporting its manufacturing capacity to China is that we have also exported many of our environmental problems. Smokestacks may be going dormant in the U.S., but they are blowing strong here. And you can tell! I am not exaggerating when I say I did not see blue sky a single time my entire time here, only clouds or brown haze that at times literally burned the sinuses.

I should also note that the tap water is not potable. And recycling? While I often saw poor migrants salvaging, only at a handful of high-profile locations did I see small (and mostly empty) recycling bins. So you can forget the stories about an emerging environmental disaster happening here. It has already happened.

Also wanting here are the safety standards of more-developed countries. When you have cabs without seatbelts, much less airbags, traction control, etc., of course they are going to cost less. And if the safety standards in the factories are anything like they were on the streets I observed (a good bet) and the same dynamics apply… it means far less safety, far lower cost. It should be little wonder why, for instance, China’s coal mines and roads are several-fold more lethal places than in America.

Of course, one of China’s largest advantages is its people, all 1.3 billion of them. Ponder the fact that if China got to a point where its economic output per person reached half of what it is in America, the Chinese economy would be double the size of that country’s. And make no mistake, these are people who are generally well educated, hungry for a modern lifestyle, and excited to be able to lift themselves up to compete on the global stage.

This is clearly a country very, very long on manpower. The signs of the ridiculously inexpensive labour smack you in the face. To get from my hotel’s front door to the elevators, I got to say "ni hao" (hello) to no fewer than four "greeters" manning the lobby at all times. There are police or security guards just standing around on what seems like every other corner. Every restaurant and retail outlet seems overstaffed by threefold or more. Street sweepers literally sweep with brooms. This huge excess pool of labour is great for businesses, but not so good for the wage-earners.

One final advantage has to be the government. Love or hate the communists, one of the benefits they bring to the country is that decisions can be made very quickly without debate, and things can and do get built in a flash. Infrastructure projects like dams, roads, subways, airport runways, etc. get built at lightning speed without lengthy litigation processes concerning environmental impacts or trampled property rights.
