The movie one idiot that i watched around 3-4 years back and again watched today on you tube ..

This movie inspired me a lot about understanding the value and definition of money in real terms..

This movie will be again telecasted on CNN-IBN coming Saturday, 27^th February at 5pm.

If you miss to watch then also you can watch again on Sunday, 6^th March at 4pm in the same CNN-IBN.

We are today living in a consumerism world where everybody will tell you to how to spend your money. How to split money than SIP (Systematic Investment Plan)

Below line Muthu told in his blog for this movie i am just extracting .. i loved these lines personally

We pointlessly give too much attention to consumerism. We spend needlessly to look more affluent than we are. If we are caught saving we are somehow not part of the ‘in’ crowd. My film is a morality tale based on the 5,000-year old principle of ‘jitni chaadar utni pair phelana’ (stretch your legs only as much as the blanket allows). Somewhere we squander money for the sake of being trendy.

It’s a film on the theme of financial management. When we are young, we know nothing about how to manage our money, and when we see people who are careful with their money, we laugh at them.”

It is not a documentary film. I found it humorous and interesting. Even there are songs! For a 30 minute film, it has enough substance and conveys well the importance of saving, investing, not being a hard core worshipper of consumption, not having debt, asset allocation, couple of Warren Buffett sayings, how people who look rich need not be rich etc. I enjoyed the movie.

This movies is an initiative from IDFC foundation for awareness..

Also you can watch the same movie on below link on you tube

Why our Mutual Fund Portfolio needs restructure now ?

Why Mutual Fund portfolio now require restructure …. It is just because of below 3 reasons 1. Introduction of LTCG 2. Categorization of Mutual Fund by SEBI 3. Introduction of TRI (Total Return Index) Introduction of LTCG : That means frequent buy and sell of funds will put you in the trap of taxation and on a long run basis your return will reduce. Because each time you redeem you will pay tax and while reinvesting you need to pay upfront expense (applicable in both regular and in direct). Also we need to stop running behind those funds which are giving best return in recent times by churning your portfolio again and again may become fatal. So now your responsibility becomes more to choose right fund and stick to it for a lengthy duration. Categorization of Mutual Fund by SEBI : After new guideline from SEBI , a large cap should only consist of large cap (no mid and small cap) Similarly s...

The Monkey , Goat and Stock Story :)

So there was this village where one day a man appeared and said that he wanted to buy monkeys. He said that he would pay a hundred rupees per monkey. The villagers caught all the monkeys in the neighborhood and sold them to him for a hundred rupees each. Soon another man appeared and said that he would pay two hundred rupees for each monkey. But there weren't any more monkeys around. They were all owned by the first man. So the villagers went to him and said that they were willing to take the monkeys back and return his money. But the monkey owner was unwilling to sell. The villagers raised the offer price to Rs 150 per monkey, then Rs 175 and finally to Rs 199 but the man just didn't want to sell, even though he clearly didn't have any use for the monkeys. Eventually, just to see whether he would sell, they offered him Rs 200 but he still refused. The villagers were puzzled by this. Finally, one of them figured out that there must be someone else who was going to...

confidently clueless

“Confidently clueless” in personal finance means feeling very sure about your money decisions while actually not understanding the risks, trade-offs, or consequences. In simple words: 👉 High confidence, low knowledge. What it looks like in real life “I’m doing a SIP, so I’m financially sorted.” “This fund gave 20% last year, so I invested big.” “Long term always works, no need to worry.” “Everyone on YouTube says this is the best.” The confidence comes from stories, past returns, or herd behavior, not from real planning. Why it’s dangerous Confidence hides ignorance. No clarity on goals No understanding of risk capacity No idea what can go wrong No plan for income loss, illness, or life changes When markets fall or life hits, the confidence collapses first — and money follows. A simple way to think about it Being confidently clueless is worse than being confused. Confused people ask questions. Confidently clueless people don’t. The opposite of “confidently clueless” Not br...
