Invest directly and earn more

Nowadays many people are interested to do investment in stock market.
Mutual Fund (MF) investment is one of the easiest way into the market to begin with.
You do not need to manage it in constant basis.

However few things you need to keep in mind while investing in MF.

Do investment online. It will empower you to buy and sell whenever you wish.

Its better to have single account to do all the transaction and track their values.

Do some research and make a list of preferred funds.Few sites to help you is
https://www.valueresearchonline.com/funds , http://www.moneycontrol.com/mutualfundindia
etc.

You will see lots fund.You need to choose as per your criteria.
You will see for each fund there is another Direct Plan. You may wonder why two name.
It has a history. Whenever you buy a fund there are 3 charges
a)Direct brokerage: Standard charge you pay to broker. Its normally 100 for investing Rs. 10,000 INR. There are broker like fundsindia.com which does not charge this brokerage.
b)Indirect Brokerage: The Fund house (say SBI MF ) gives some commission called trailing commission to the broker/agent.
c) Fund management charge.

So broker getting money directly from you as well as from the Fund House.

In 2013 SEBI instructed the Fund Houses to give customer option of direct investment so that customer can get rid of at least the brokerage. After this the so called Direct Plans came into life.

However the brokers will not offer you these funds as they will not be able to earn the trailing commission. So to buy Direct Plan you need to have account with each of the fund houses. But this is very cumbersome to manage multiple accounts with multiple fund houses.
Fortunately there is a solution as well. Use www.mfuindia.com to open a single account. Send them the documents required and get the account activated.

Now you can invest directly, and save the two brokerages a) direct brokerage you pay and b) indirect brokerage fund house pay out of your money.

Interestingly almost all of the Direct Plan shows around 1% better return than Regular plans.

Changing the system from within the system.

Do we need an emergency situation to awake? Yes we do need one most of the time. We only get awake when a Parliament attack, Mumbai attack, Samjhouta express attack, Mumbai local Train attack etc do occur. The problem is not that we get awake when the crisis occurs. But the problem is we fall back to sleep when the crisis is over . Let’s stop doing falling back to sleep. Whenever a crisis occurs the first thing we think is that we need change the system. We essentially first point our finger to the corrupt politics system, intelligence system, police system etc. The more we can name the more points we score as if we are in a mission only to find who the culprits are. I have a problem with this notion of only fault finding and essentially taking no action based on the finding. Who comprises the system? None but us. The collective individuals comprise the system. It’s we who give birth to a corrupted system and continue to feed the system with corruption in everyday. How? Let m

CPU throttling

Sometime we come across situation where we need to throttle or degrade CPU performance . Suppose there is a situation you deploy your application in low performance system but development is done on high performance system .  To simulate lower performance system you need to do CPU throttling.  Here I am discussing how we can do this using Windows 11 OS. Similar feature should be available in Linux or other operating systems as well.  Assuming we are using Windows 11 OS as super user , open Performance Monitor application tool. In Windows you can open this by invoking perfmon.exe /res from search or run option. Using this tool open CPU performance monitor to monitor current CPU(s). In the GUI there are two panes. From left pane, tree view choose Performance -> Monitoring Tools -> Performance Monitor view.  In the right pane, you should see two sub-view one graph view on the top and one selected counters view on the bottom. Right click on the the bottom view and choose Add Coun

An encounter with destiny - beyond patterned life

An encounter with destiny It was Friday evening 27th Nov 2009. Next day is Eid. People were in mood for returning home for weekend as well as for Eid festival. I was one of the people intending to rejoin my family on Eid occasion. I reached Sealdah around 5.45 pm.Sealdah rail station complex was not as crowded as I expected. I was walking lazily along with my friend Bashir to catch Bhagirathi Express scheduled for 6.25 pm departure. We still had more than half an hour in our hand. Suddenly few people rushed from behind and from right side and somehow I get pushed down to ground. Usually I can take reflex action whenever I fall or about to fall. But this time it was so sharp that I could not take any action. I even fall unconscious for few moment. Bashir and People around helped me to recover from ground. When I again got my crutches in place and ready to move forward I felt acute pain in my right leg. I thought of waiting few moments before proceeding again. But the pain was showing
