Well, here's something I cooked up last sunday at the office. This is done in MS-paint and hence the amatuerish look. Wish I had good ol' Adobe Photoshop out here.
I'm still thinking of titles for the strip though. Some that came along my way include:
Desperate Alex - sounds too desperate
Alex and the city - I smell a lawsuit...


Guess i'll wait till inspiration strikes...

Water. Paani. Vellam. ( I'd like to go on in other languages, but i think we get the point).The right quantity of this liquid, at the right temperature when drunk when one is most thirsty, produces a sense of enlightenment. I have been experiencing this nirvana every single day in the last week.


Market visits can be fun...in winter. In summer, it gets bad. It becomes inhuman, when you are sent to a remote village in interior haryana and asked to walk, walk and walk with the salesman selling blades, brushes and gels to very "friendly" retailers.


The temperatures out there are bad enough. The hot and dusty winds ( or squalls as they are called) make you wish you were born near the artic circle. One can only guess why water therefore, becomes a source of Nirvana almost every hour.


Below is a snapshot of the market visit I made to Samalkha in Haryana. Along with me is one of the best salesman in the business, Joginder Singh.

Was reading Buffet:The making of an American Capitalist. On visits to B-schools for giving guest lectures, he often plays a game with students so as to help them better understand his methodology in picking up the right stocks in the stock market.


The proposition he makes to the students is:
Given the guarantee that you would be entitled to 10% of any one of your classmates earnings for life, which of your classmates would you choose?

...obviously most of us wouldnt pick someone just based on a CGPA. A person's energy, intergrity, capability, etc would come into the picture. And these again cannot be quantified.

So while numbers, betas and alphas may help...Buffet would look beyond.
