First is this news item in the Times of India on 23rd October, 2017. News item states that unclaimed shares are being misused by a few unscrupulous operators in connivance with Registrars and Transfer agents and perhaps banks. This unholy nexus is quite disturbing.

Ever since GDP Growth rate for Q1 of FY18 was announced on 1st September, 2017 there is nonstop discourse on the bad shape of Indian economy. Call it discourse or whining, everyone has an opinion on this. P. Chidambaram tweeted: “Our worst fears have come true. Sub-6% growth is a catastrophe. The slide in economy continues. Slow growth, low investment and no jobs. An explosive cocktail.” People who have to be taken seriously – Yashwanth Sinha, Subramanian Swamy, Gurumurthy – have complaints of varying degrees. Subramanian Swamy says economy is in tailspin and says according to “Samuelson-Swamy” theory one needs to search growth. Gurumurthy says GST, DeMo, NPA, etc are the problems and economy is slipping.

There was a T.M.Krishna’s carnatic music concert at Shringeri Mutt in Kripashankari Street West Mambalam less than a week before. In the one hour I was there, he sang Devamanohari (Muthuswamy Dikishitar’s Bharathi Maddishana) and Suddha Saveri (As of writing this blog, I don’t even remember what he sang. I think it is Thyagaraja’s Dharini Telisi Konti). Overall, his performance was so-so.

It is a non-descript corner of Salem, Tamil Nadu. The lady was sitting in her small flat in a usual dry evening. Our territory manager approached the lady and asked if the particular person lived in the address. Actually, he was no more and the family has changed the residence three times. Our territory managers do a bit of Sherlock Holmes, before they reach the right prospect and he knows about it.

PM Modi's announcement of demonetization of Rs.1000 and Rs.500, seems to have polarized the country – People who have black money against whom Modi is waging a war, and others who know how to make it white and are willing to offer their services. And virtually everyone is a financial and economic expert who has very strong view one way or another.
