Guide : Mutual Funds

Thousands of Goans, Indians and Even Kuwaitis arent quite aware about mutual funds and the benefits in them. Majority of them are too scared about shares and real equity. Quite of us are happy with the standard fixed deposits, which gurantee a fixed interest over time.

Mutual Funds, have come a long way to be extremely popular now days. Mutual Fund are like shares, but have a lesser & slower risk factor. But i would still advise, people shouldnt invest into shares or mutual funds, if they panic at any or every low tide of funds in the market.

Konkani Dance Mix in Boston

I found this in youtube.com , while i was searching for goan music there. Its truly wonderful to know that young goans out there are still practising a bit of Goan Culture in the west.

The Video clip isnt very straight(shakes a bit). and the music changes from konkani to english, then hindi then Konkani again.

Check the video here.

Nike Ad - Goan Music

Its Great to know and see, that Nike has used Goan Music to create the most creative Ad i have seen. A mix of Goan Konkani Music, Cricket, and an International Brand.

Lyrics in Konkani

Rav patrao rav
Khedong maka di mhunta aao
Khedong maka di na zhalya
Tuzho kortelem patlanv

Khedoch amche oslen
Kednanch ravonk nosle
Undir matracho khed yo kosle
Maka bhogta oslen
Arre maaroon, dhoroon, phodoon
Saiba noshib mozhe phoslen

Â

Lyrics (Translated from Konkani):

‘Wait, partner, wait
First let me play
If you don’t play, I’ll keep chasing you all day
Our game is like this only
Where we have no time to think
It is the game of cat and mouse
That I have begun to love
And in the falling running breaking
My destiny is entwined
‘

Review : Total Commander

I have stopped using Windows File Explorer i think about 7 years now. Ever since i found its replacement , called Total Commander from www.ghisler.org .

This Windows utility makes the copying of files from any drive and any folder to any other location much easier. It uses a split screen approach that Windows Explorer desperately needs. You choose one directory on the left and another on the right. (See screenshot at the end of this article.) You right click on any file you want to copy (or move) and see it turn red. Once you’ve selected all the files you want to copy, you hit the copy command and the program copies everything where you want it. Simple and easy.

Toasted “Chilly-Cheese” Spicy Sandwich

We recently got a new maid, who is also an Amazing Cook. She comes up with this creative receipes , blending Indian,Chinese, Punjabi and Arabic Cusines.

All of us at home, enjoy her cooking. Sometime back she had made these strange looking sandwiches. They wasnt to pleasant to the eye as the fillings had broken out of the bread. When i saw them , i was like ” what are these things?”

I guess she felt bad about it. Never made them again. She had left for the day. But after i took abite . They were the most amazing sandwiches i ever tasted.
