Director            Abhinay Deo Cast                  Kunaal Roy Kapur, Imran Khan, Vir Das, Shenaz Treasury, Vijay Raaz, Poorna Jagannathan Year                 2011 Genre               Drama I was quite apprehensive about Delhi Belly and was in the same breath quite disappointed because I could not watch the movie till this morning.   I was just hoping it was not yet another case of the trailer being better than the movie – like it has been quite often in the recent past.   However, turns out this time it was not the case.   I guess it had to be a case of “In Aamir Khan we trust”.   Although I am not sure if Aamir would be saying, “In Imran Khan I trust” for too long if the nephew keeps at his medio...

It is true that your precious savings needs to be protected and to grow, that makes me quote Ayn Rand, "Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think", so let us think and avoid those 5 common blunders. Unveiling the 5 common blunders to avoid in stock market fall: Being influenced with short term share market losses: I have always advised young investors investing for long term capital gains to not panic if the value of their shares came down rapidly in just a year.
