e=mc2 finally collaborated



Hundred years after Einstein gave the e=mc2 formula it was finally collaborated thanks to a heroic effort by the worlds best physicists. they used some of the mightiest super computers to compute the mass of the protons, neutrons and the particles of the nucleus of the atom.

According to te traditional model of particle physics, protons and neutrons comprise of smaller particles called the quarks and the formula e=mc2 has not been collaborated to the sub atomic particles. Even though the formula has been instrumental in the making of the ATOM BOMB.


The odd thing is this: the mass of gluons is zero and the mass of quarks is only five per cent. Where, therefore, is the missing 95 per cent?

The answer, according to the study published in the US journal Science on Thursday, comes from the energy from the movements and interactions of quarks and gluons.

resolving the formula to the sub atomic particle level has been difficult at the scale of the equations called the quantum chromodynamics.until now.

New Direct marketing tool


The dabbawalas of Mumbai are not just delivering lunches but have become a means of direct marketing for many companies from mutual funds to soft drinks.

The best part is the company can reach over a lakh of customers directly. The ISO certifies dabbawalas are also getting the benefit by earning a couple of hundreds more.

The means of advertising is sure to reach the people as the dabbawalas never lose the delivery. this means can also be used by the India Inc. to communicate effectively about the promotional activities as the people catered by the dabbawalas are mostly the middle income class.

The dabba has now transformed to a marketing communication tool.

Warning bells







After the Indian economic su
mmit on Sunday the top leaders of the India inc. have warned of bad situations if the government doesn't take appropriate action to make funds available for the companies.



The corporate heads have told that they will forced to layoff or take other punitive action to reduce the costs. this is evident from the placements of premier b schools, the placements at IIM-A have seen a sharp decline in the average salaries. the salaries have fallen by over 42 percent compared to the last year and the overseas placements have fallen by 60 percent. The case is same in other premier b schools and IIMs across India.



The R.B.I is expected to cut the CRR by 200-250bps and SLR by other 100bps to make the banks lend to the corporates. With the general elections coming near the government is expected to take unconventional steps to induce liquidity in the market.



The mood at the summit was nothing but upbeat and the message was simple we need to act agressively and quickly.

Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.


This is the statement given by the "WHITE KNIGHT" Warren Buffett in an article written by him in news column. He said that this is the simple rule that dictates his buying. The statement might look to be philosophical and correlating to the statement given by sun tzu in his "THE ART OF WAR" that when the enemy attacks retreat; when the enemy retreats attack;

This is true as when the markets are booming amateur investors will be greedy to make money with out any knowledge of the market and economic life cycle and even the P/E ratio.When the world is investing the seasoned investor retreats and when the world is selling then the seasoned investor buys!!.

This can be seen in the present crisis situation,when the whole world is selling the two legendary investors Warren Buffett and Soros are investing from America to Australia. Buffett had invested 5 billion dollars in Goldman Sachs and 3 billion dollars in G.E. in preferred stocks. He also said that he is buying American stocks.

so my advise would be to gain wisdom and learn from the mistakes, if you cannot understand the mistake then better leave to experts or opt for mutual funds.

In Proverbs 4:7, the Word of God states “ Wisdom is the principle thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding”. The sad part is that amateur investors often have neither and think that God is speaking for his own health; But He’s not. He’s speaking for ours.
