At&T A list

I had T-mobile service when i first came to USA in 2005. Later I had to move to At&T, for an obvious reason that all my friends are in that network. Calling friends on the same network is easy and free but what if you have friends or relatives in other networks or they have land line service only. As far as At&T goes, there is feature called A list. This A list is available only for the people who have a plan above 39.99$. Individual plan owners can have up to 5 A list numbers, where as the family plan members can have up to 10 numbers on the list. A list numbers are basically the phone numbers which you can call unlimited number of times with unlimited number of minutes. The A list can be changed as per user's wish but it usually takes 24 hours to get the changes effective. Not a bad feature if you are going over the anytime minutes.

Lessons I Learnt About Investing

Dreamstime

Investing is not trading and I understood that after a couple of mistakes. Investing is basically buying a business and in this case buying a part of business. Investing is definitely not gambling but trading is. In the long-term, one can make lot of money through trading (gambling) but will eventually lose most or all of it. The right way of investing is to pick and choose a right stock that has a future and demand for its products and then invest some money on it. Like any personal business, it takes time to grow and so have some patience. Too many clicks of your mouse to buy and sell take away the advantage of growth. It is very important to buy good stocks not cheap stocks (because the price is low). Once you buy a stock, keep it for a long time and have a goal for that stock. Say, you want to sell a stock after it doubles and that is when you sell that stock and make some profit. Remember emotion is the enemy and time is your friend. Too many trades ruin the game and it becomes a speculative game rather than growth game. If your stock falls below certain level, sell it to avoid complete loss (say your stock is going bankrupt). In general, it always pays to wait and wait until you get what you want. As warren buffet said, never lose money and it is true. Do a lot of research about the business you are interested in and once you buy, stick with it no matter what TV reports or Internet reports or friends say? Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow and I mean nobody; even Warren Buffett. So always do your research and go on with your gut feeling. Set some filters in choosing a stock and if the stocks you are interested in pass through them then you buy. Up’s and Down's are common and so understand and accept the trend. There are more lessons to be learned and i will write in coming times.

Australianism

Dreamstime

Sixty one years ago, at the end of a tour of England by Don Bradman's famous pack, John Arlott put it thus: "Australianism," wrote Arlott, "means single-minded determination to win - to win within the laws but, if necessary, to the last limit within them. It means where the 'impossible' is within the realm of what the human body can do, there are Australians who believe that they can do it - and who have succeeded often enough to make us wonder if anything is impossible to them. It means they have never lost a match - particularly a Test match - until the last run is scored or their last wicket down."

Travel Tips --I

Dreamstime

Nowadays, everyone rents a car; the kind of car we choose to rent depends on the distance we are going to travel.  I would choose a better mileage car, if I am travelling too far from my place rather than a posh car. It is always a good idea to know how much we are going to spend on gas beforehand. Here is a link that helps you figure out the cost to drive. When planning to travel long distances, it is better to know the places where you can get gas for cheap. Follow this link to find the lowest gas price in any area in USA. Remember, everything counts at the end, every dollar saved is a dollar earned. If you have AAA membership, you can find the best hotels, gas stations and restaurants that offer discounts. If you are travelling to a tourist attraction in some other state, AAA offers free tourist guides and maps. They are really helpful guides to find good deals.

             The first and foremost thing to do when you rent a car is to make sure you have Insurance that covers your car and also other cars/vehicles (liability and collision). Contact your agent to find out if your insurance policy covers rental car as well and also ask for any exceptions and limitations. If you have only liability covered then call your credit card people and ask the same questions and find out everything you need to know about the car rental protection they offer. I have an AMEX blue card that covers up to 50000$ (rental car value) and it works as a secondary insurance. But if you pay 24.99$ up front (every time you rent a car), you can get complete primary insurance for 30 consecutive days (exceptions and limitations apply). Other credit cards also offer Collision waiver/supplemental insurance and it is always a good idea to contact the customer service and confirm. It is even better if you can get a copy of the Insurance document with terms and conditions.

Dreamstime

              If you know where you are going and have time to plan your trip, I would recommend buying an entertainment book to get coupons valid in your destination city. AAA and similar services have discounted attraction tickets. Read the reviews on www.tripadvisor.com to know more about the attractions you are planning to visit. You can find valuable information based on the experience of the previous visitors (inside stuff—what to do and what not to do). See if they have City pass that gives admission to more attractions for less (usually called combo packs). If you are visiting your destination city for the first time, it is very much a good idea to check out the restaurants and their reviews on www.yelp.com and www.urbanspoon.com . After you figure out the prospective restaurants you might visit, buy www.restaurant.com certificates for 2 or 3 $ (Google for 80% off coupon codes) and save a lot. These are some travel tips but I will add more in future.

20-80 Formula of Life

Dreamstime

Life can be very hard to live for all of us at some point or the other. We get bothered by something or the other, we get bored, we get frustrated and we lose hope from time to time. These are like recurring episodes, it is natural to have such feelings but it is not good to have them at regular intervals. When we see our lives, we see too far and get scared of the future, due to past failures. In most cases than not, work stress is the biggest problem a person can face in his/her life. We take work issues to home and its effect is on the family and friends. We don't enjoy our lives in the present, instead we think about problems at work. If we are not capable of doing our work then the person who hired us should be a fool. In most occasions than not, it is not true. We are very much capable of doing our work but we think we cannot. The amount of time we have in hand is a lot compared to the time we spend on work. Let see if it is true....

• There are 168 hours in a week. (Imagine these are not hours but dollars and we are asked to spend them properly in a week)
• Say we spend 56 hours (8 hours per day) for sleep
• The balance is 112 hours
• Officially we are paid for 40 hours a week, so lets take those off
• Balance 72 hours ( equivalent to 3 days)
• Lets spend 30 hours on our daily routine (cooking, bathing, brushing, travelling to work and so on)
• Balance is 42 hours (Almost 2 days); equal to 25% of total time.
• These 42 hours can be spent for entertainment, phone calls, internet, time with family and friends and other hobbies.

Analysis: (approx. numbers)

• Sleep : 33.3%
• Extra/personal time: 25%
• Work: 23%
• Routine: 17.8%

These may vary based on who you are and how you live your life but, in general, most of us fit into this. There is no point in reducing the sleep hours, i think some people over do things (by sleeping less) and burn themselves down in the long run. It is important to have 8 hours of sleep (7 is OK). Work; even though it says 23%, we don't really spend that much time doing work (we spend some time checking emails, phone calls, internet, coffee, friends, chatting with co-workers, meetings and so on). So, I would say, taking into account of the work we do at home sometimes, the most we work is only 20% of total time (or less in a week). But this 20% is important for other 80% to be good. Without spending 20% of time on working, we could not have a good sleep, a good routine and we could not have fun time with friends and family. Most people ignore or take this 20% for granted. Working for 20% of the time is actually responsible for 80% of happiness in life. The extra/personal/family time we have (25%) is very important, how we spend this time determines whether we will be just happy or both happy and successful. Most part of this 25% can be spent for TV alone or Internet alone and be just happy or take some time to hone one's skills and learn something new. The one's who are constantly in search of learning more to improve themselves end up not only being happy but satisfied. The people who complain about not having time and about their job are those who do not have skills to prioritize their 20% work time. If one really focuses on work at Job, they usually don't have to complain about things not getting done. These people give more importance to the 80% rather than 20%. Its like a sports star giving importance to ad campaign, as it gets him more money. Ads come, when he is at the top of the game not otherwise. These ads (in our case extra/personal time) is the fruit of what we do and how we do at work during that 20% of time. We will still have that 80% time even after not doing well at work but we will not be peaceful and completely happy at home. 
The conclusion is, we have lot of time; when we prioritize things that matter. Time cannot be borrowed or lended like money and it is important to spend our time in a right way. You can earn lost money but not time. Since time is such a valuable thing, do not waste it on past and future and things that don't matter. Spend time only on those which are necessary for you. Don't spend time on something just because it is easy to do or because everyone is doing. When you see time as money (or more important than that), the only way one can benefit is by using it then and there (living in the present). It cannot be taken forward or backwards. You waste it....You lose it. Thats it !!!!!!!!!!

There are ways to prioritize time, which i will discuss at a later time.

Life Lessons

I heard a small but beautiful story on TV. Here it goes….

Person 1 to Person 2: Imagine there are four eagles on a branch of a tree, one of them decides to fly away, and now, how many eagles are left on the branch??

Person 2 answers:  Three of them will be left on the branch.

Person 1: No

Person 2: If not three, how many?

Person 1: Four are left on the branch; one of them decided to fly away but never did.

Moral of the Story: Deciding in your mind to do something is not doing, it counts only when intention turns into action.

Inside Out -- Just a Thought

What is the number one website/most visited in the world??

Google right!!!!

Have we ever thought why Google??

What is Google??

A search engine!!!

Number one because we all search multiple times

Bingo!!!!

WE ALL SEARCH….. Right!!!!

We gratify and satisfy our mind and body by searching outside, for what we want, using Google

Search is everybody’s responsibility; the more we search outside more we become materialistic and the more we search inside ourselves, more peaceful we become. The balance between those two lead to a happy life.


The idea of searching comes from questioning???
Why?? Who??Where?? How??When?? are the magical words that bother us first, until we find answers.


Why do we question???
Because we have to Know!!!!!!


Knowing is otherwise called Knowledge right!!!
Someone said Knowledge is power.


What is more powerful than Knowledge???
Wisdom!!!


Wisdom is knowing--what needs to be done and when to do it.


Knowledge can only be achieved by questioning and finding answers. We can only get wise with experience. Experience can be achieved by making better mistakes each time.

I Found My Drink

To be very honest, I love soft drinks; but, I had negative effects of them. Due to my sedentary life style, sugars in these drinks accumulated to make me slightly fat. I tried diet coke, but I hate it, tastes like tonic. I tried to find a drink that gives me same pleasure minus negative effects. Today, I some how got my eyes laid on Coke Zero. It tastes like coke classic but with zero calories. It has caffiene and so, I guess I still need to limit how many I can have in a day. However, I am happy that I found my drink. 

My Saying

I am not like an evolution or like a mutation, both are bad in today's world. I would rather find something in between.

Just a Thought - The Power of Basics

Image : Dreamstime

There are 26 letters in English Language but there are millions of words out there, which in turn are used to write and speak millions and millions of sentences. There are 8 notes in Music, but there are millions of tunes coming from them.There are billions of people in this world, their faces don't match (except twins to certain extent) even if the parts used to make them are the same.The complexity of literature, Music, and People have very basic/simple beginnings.If this thought is applied to everything you see, feel and hear, you will see a similarity.........for example, see our DNA, it is composed of only 4 nucleotides ATGC, but the arrangement makes the difference. How about finger prints?? the whole forensic science is based on small differences in finger prints among individuals. How about the elements in chemistry, they are just above 100 but the chemicals are many, with different structures resulting from different number and arrangement of atoms. There are many proteins, resulting from some aminoacids arranged differently. It is not just the arrangement of these basic tools of nature, the quantity and quality aspect has to be kept in mind. All words are made of letters but the number of letters, arrangement of letters, and other aspects determine the beauty and meaning of those words. What I want to say is that, what we have is just basic/simple tools (26 letters in the first case) but what we build with them matters. I don't mean to say we all have the tools, resources and imagination to create something extraordinary. But, whatever we create, it is from these basic tools. If you get this small basic idea, what you will understand is, you need to learn the basics of anything you try to accomplish. Imagine that you know only 24 letters in 26 letters of english language, what you create with those is incomplete. When one has to take up a project or a goal, it is important to know the basics of that particular task. This is what people call preparation and some call it research. Know the basics, you will have a good chance of accomplishing the task in hand. For example, you need a job as a scientist. You need not know everything about that job, all you need to know is where and how to find a job. It is that simple. This is the same reason why most successful CEO's in the world are not actually MBA graduates, they don't know everything but they know the basics. It is not wrong to know everything about something, but trying to know everything at the beginning delays  one's journey towards success. The point is simple, you don't have to know everything but you need to know that you will learn everything you can in the process. If one has this belief then, it is time for some action.

Home Made Strawberry Juice

Image: Dreamstime

Over last 2 years, my weight increased significantly and my present goal is to get back into shape. The main reason I became overweight is because of my sedentary life style and in addition, lot of sugar intake in the form of carbonated beverages. I used to love walking and drinking lots of water some 4 years ago but due to change in my habits, water got replaced by coke and walk with driving a car. I have made some changes to my life style by bringing back some old habits like drinking water, walking again on purpose, and avoiding sugar beverages and so on. With that in mind, I started having fruit juices instead of coke. The fruit juices from Wal-Mart and other places have added sugar and so I decided to make fruit juices myself. I went to Publix, Kroger, Wal-Mart and other places to find some fruits but all of them were expensive except in Wal-Mart (in some cases). I think Kroger and Publix have good fruits but very expensive to me.So, I went to Aldi's to find some fruits and I was surprised to find good quality fruits at such a low price. I got 2 boxes of strawberries (@1$ each), cut them into pieces and placed them in the juicer. I did add lots of milk to it and a little bit of sugar for taste. I could make 8 glasses of juice for just 2$. Awesome right!!Try it yourself and let me know. 

My Kiddish Mind

Image: Dreamstime

When I was a kid some 20 years ago, I was alone in the crowd. I was more an observer in a passive fashion and always had only my point of view. As kids were then, I was ignorant and believed what I thought was right. I used to think that the whole world comes to a standstill when I don’t watch it. I used to think everything revolves around me and not other way round. I know for sure then that not even a branch of tree or water in a river moves without my presence. But sometimes I used to doubt that, if they stopped in my absence, how come trees grew from the last time. If I am that powerful how come I don’t get to have some Tea like my elders? But that didn’t bother me much as I was more interested in being a powerful kid.

I might sound stupid but I was just ignorant, I learnt overtime that, I am only part of this huge universe and it’s not about me. Everything happens at its pace, on its own and I had to adapt to that. Like everything else I had to act and react and that is my part, which I need to do right. It should get better with time, that’s it!!! Its life!!! I got reminded of my childhood and looking backwards is something that makes me laugh at myself and I am glad I don’t think like that anymore.

My Friday @ Thrifty Store

Image : Dreamstime

I Googled this word "Thrifty" to get multiple meanings and one of them being; Practicing or marked by the practice of thrift; wisely economical. Right, wisely economical, in my understanding it means being frugal. There are some stores which go by that name. They look cheap and not so classy. Sometime back I read an article about these stores and I was impressed by what you can get there. To be honest, nobody knows what you get there because it has got all the used and donated stuff. This stuff could be anything from decorative items to electronics. Ah!! I like the last word; “electronics”. I was feeling bored at home yesterday, as it was a Friday and had to spend all alone. So, I went to this store which is like couple of blocks away from my house.

         When I entered I felt like I got into a museum or something and felt very poor. But as I went through the aisles, I was immersed in the process of searching the unknown. When I went to the books section, it was not like in a Barnes and nobles store, where books are organized in a particular fashion. Here, psychology, history, cooking, personal development books and all other kinds are generously mixed. I had to rely on my eyes to find that gem which I might love to have. Some are 4.98, some are 3.98 and some are 1.98. After a bit of searching I found a book by Stephen covey for 1.98$ and it had some white tag. Then I went into the home décor section and I found a CD case (leather) for my car for 1.98$. Then I went to my favorite section, electronics. Believe me; it was like visiting an electronic store in 1950’s (with the help of a time machine).

          I should have taken some pictures (probably next time), but some old coffee makers, rice cookers, radios, TV’s and so on were displayed. I was fascinated by the development we had since those times. I found a 3 CD changer Stereo system with two big speakers for 12$. When I got to the check out area, the lady said “books are on discount sale” and so I got it for 1 dollar and the rest are on 40% sale. The thing to remember is, they cannot be returned once you buy. But, I was satisfied with my purchase and more so with my choice of visiting the store.

           There are many things that can be bought there, like art, shoes, clothes and so on. I would not prefer to buy any clothes or shoes but definitely will visit for books and electronics and some music CD’s. I will make it a point to visit this store regularly and surprise myself. It is much better to go here sometimes than to any regular store where we find what we expect. There was no thrill and fun in shopping anymore until I went to this place. I can’t buy everything I want here but definitely a good time pass visit.

Watching TV for Free

I used to have DirecTV subscription a while ago. After lot of thought I realized that, it is not for me. Firstly, it was expensive and secondly, I don’t get to see what I want even after paying 50$ or more a month. So, I called them and got rid of it and after that I searched Google and other places to find other sources for watching TV. To my surprise, I found very good sources of watching these TV shows and movies.

     There are many sources but I will put some important ones in here for now. At a later time, I will try to update it with others.

Hulu.com : This is the number one site for TV watching. The episodes are quickly updated usually following day of the airing. It has got episodes from 150+ channels and also has collection of old movies and others.

Cast TV : This website also has a very good collection of episodes and other entertaining stuff.

Streamick: This is my favorite, it has got almost real time streaming of 263 channels (according to abc.com) and they are planning to have 900 channels. I even found HBO and other movie websites playing very good movies.

TIOTI: (Tape it off the Internet is the full form)—It is part TV hub and part social network site

In addition, browse through websites of network sites like abc.com, NBC, MTV and so on for full episodes.

Get 200$ gift card using American express Blue Card for DirecTV subscription

There are many sources of watching TV namely Comcast, Dish TV, DirecTV and so on. These providers use attractive offers as bait for new customers. Yes, I said bait especially in the case of DirecTV. I had DirecTV for a while and I like the channels and the quality they offer but I hate their terms and conditions. You can expect unnecessary charges for everything you ask for. I really had bad experience with them but if you choose to have DirecTV anyway and if you are willing to pay 80-90 bucks a month then this post will be of some help.

      If you have American Express Blue Card, use it through this link to subscribe for DirecTV. The advantage of this offer is that you will receive a 200$ gift card that can be used at places where Amex card is accepted. One of my friends received it but only after 6 weeks or so. You need to email them sometimes to make sure you get it. I personally don't like these TV subscriptions; instead I watch Hulu or some other websites. Its a personal choice, I just can't afford.

The Only Thing You Can Change

You can’t change your entire life.

You can only change your next action.

—

You can’t change a relationship with a loved one.

You can only change your next interaction.

—

You can’t change your entire job.

You can only change your next task.

—

You can’t change your body composition.

You can only change your next meal.

—

You can’t change your fitness level.

You can only start moving.

—

You can’t declutter your entire life.

You can only choose to get rid of one thing, right now.

—

You can’t eliminate your entire debt.

You can only make one payment, or buy one less  unnecessary item.

—

You can’t change the past, or control the future.

You can only change what you’re doing right now.

—

You can’t change everything.

You can only change one, small thing.

And that’s all it takes.

I would like to add--Serenity Prayer which says 

God, grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change;

The courage to change the things that I can;

And the wisdom to know the difference.


There is also a saying that says -- Rome was not built in one day and other saying which says--You can't eat an elephant in one day and so on. What these sayings mean is that one can achieve a big task by breaking it down into simpler tasks and doing them consistently. It takes lot of patience and discipline, because we are so distracted by technology, relationships, friends and so on. But thing to remember is no one can distract us as long as we don't let them to. Nobody really plans to distract us but our own weaknesses keep us from focusing on our goals. We expect complex solutions to complex problems but the reality is, in most situations the solutions are very basic and simple. Over thinking and over doing ruins our path to success. When we set a goal to achieve it is very much possible that we think ahead of time and think of all possible hurdles we may face and we get discouraged by that. Imagine these hurdles as drinking water, if we think of all the water we need to drink in next 45 days @8 glasses per day, we will have to drink approx 360 glasses of water. If you place 360 glasses of water in front of you, then you will not be able to drink 8 glasses in that particular day. Same is with the goals, if we think of all the hurdles in the path to your goal, we will under perform by putting pressure on ourselves. The farther the goal difficult it becomes to do one task at a time. Knowing this, its better to focus on the task in hand rather than whats going to come up. Another example is, say you play cricket, its better to think of present delivery rather than about next one or the delivery in 30th over bowled by some fearsome bowler. Plan for the future and break that plan into minor goals and then into tasks. Perform these tasks one at a time and in the best possible way without thinking of anything other than the task in hand and then if this is done consistently you give yourself a great possibility of succeeding. Success cannot be guaranteed by can be achieved. Remember, most of the thing we fear never happen. All izz well !!!!!!!!!!
