A blog for skanda

Trust me, it wasn't easy to just create another blog - because this time around I was creating it for my nephew Skanda who is two years old now...

There was a lot of thought that went into it - it's an attempt from my end to capture history in the minutest detail possible. As I grew up my parents,relatives and friends would go in lengths to speak about my childhood, memories of which I dont have.

When ever I heard people speak about the notorious or sometimes the brainy side of me, I only wished they had it all captured in black and white. The fun of reading about oneself or peeping into my Father's dairy would be such an interesting thing that I experienced.

This is just a start Skanda's World and I'm sure with the support from my sister,wife and brother in law I would be making a wonderful biography of my nephew Skanda.

My Father's life & what he practised

Ways to luxury & happiness - My Father's life & what he practised

Jan 31st 2010: After dinner My father called me & Vidya to give some advice on financial planning.Even though He has not studied economics or read highly priced books on savings & planning the future, the following points are what He wanted us to practice to be happy & independent:-

- Always have an exit plan

- If you earn 100/- , 25/- has to be saved

- Always leave 1000/- in the bank when your salary is credited. At the end of the year 12000/- saved should go as another investment

- Run to the bank if you have to deposit (do not postpone things when it comes to investment)

- Accumulate 75% & then 25% can be taken as loan

- All purchases to be made only at the end of the month

- You take care of money for five years, then the money will take care of you

- Lastly don't sacrifice anything that you dream, plan & achieve it

Thanks Dad

Sweet! Oh sweet, love of mine
you took away all my pain & disdain,
brought rains from Heaven,
war of the minds come to an end.

Why should I repent of the year's gone?
When I know of the pleasant moments that await.
No more histories & philosophies of the past.
I shall now on speak of Heavenly bliss.

You're family & that's all I know.
WE are ONE is all I believe.
Of love & happiness we shall be
& all the earth below shall smile.

Blessings of elders past & present.
WE say more to LIFE & LIFE STARTS NOW...
