Of Fahrenheits and Stock Market...

I have not been able to write much in the last couple of days, the reason being an unexpected bout of high fever. Today, somehow I managed to muster enough determination to be able to type a few lines. I missed a few classes and have to make amends in a very short time frame. Especially, the Financial Accounting class will require the larger chunk of pending ground work, since I'm still facing a supposed lack of confidence in being able to catch up with the fundamentals.

Now a days, X-FIN, the Finance Association of XIMB is all agog with the innovatively experimental stock market simulation game aptly titled DALAL STREET, which as a matter of fact was designed to hone the trading skills of the would-be managers passing out of XIMB. It's all fun seeing the stocks of the top-notch companies negotiating the seemingly turbulent market in their respective styles. My team "SILVER BLAZE" (remember the famous Sherlock Holmes novel about the invincible derby stallion) suffered a minor setback as all shares bought by us plunged abysmally due to the ruckus in the finance ministry as of this morning.
