I suggested at another post yesterday how we must build the USP of this forum to ensure better quorum or rather participation. One of the suggestions was better games like the one Creditviolet introduced about guessing his age.
I was thinking of what other games would it be possible to introduce. Antakshari happens to be one of the most popular programs on Indian television and it is a popular game when one goes on journeys with friends, cousins etc.
When Bill Clinton came to India, NDTV while profiling him had the famous hindi movie song, Monica, Oh my darling at full blast in the background. That gave me an idea.
We cannot have an Antakshari here in the literal sense but there are some interesting songs that are quite representative of share market situations. I tried uploading the files without success. The old timers should understand. As for the young people, I am not all that computer savvy but in case you want to hear them, we can arrange as you deem fit:-
The best song that represents the genreral irrational and volatile stock market vicissitudes( or day trading):-
Mast baharon ka main Aashiq main jo chahe yaar karoon
Chahe gulo ke saayen se khelu chahe kali se pyaar karoon,
Sara jahaan hai mere liye
The song that is the complete antithesis of the stock market situation(one cannot follow any trend blindly):
"Jo rah chuni tune, us raha pe rahi chalte jana re"
This song that represents a strong bull cycle or a stock that is overbought and stays overbought(strong trend):-
"Musafir hoon yaaron, na ghar hai na thikana, mujhe chalte jaana hai, bas chalte jaana hai"
Ranging market/ Whipsaw
"Main Idhar jaaoon ya udhar jaaoon"
Again an emerging trend that suddenly reverses:-
"Abhi na jaao chod kar, ke dil abhi bhara nahin"
There will be some among us who are bullish with everything in the western world and bearish on Indian culture. This could be a kind of whipsaw for them but one has to be ambidextrous as NDTV has demonstrated.
As for guessing games, one interesting game could be , When we shall have another creditviolet The period of this forum too could be divided into Before credit(BC) and after credit( AC) though like history it could be (AD-After debit instead of ano domini)if people dont participate actively. I dont know why nobody initiated more guessing games(follow the trend) considering that it was so popular
Alexander Elder has stated in his book how some people enjoy programming more than trading and as Kapil Dev keeps telling Sachin Tendulkar( "Enjoy your game. Dont restrict yourself"). The Australians work(play)hard and play(enjoy) hard(well). In any case, today is Friday
One has to have more options if this forum has to have a future .There is more to life than the stock market and one should explore that derivative as well or in J.krishnamurthy's words-explore the interconnection between things.
