Infinite wisdom from trucks

If you manage to read the infinite wisdom that is sprinkled on Indian trucks' rear, you can even start your own religion. That is you manage to stay alive from the Indian road experience :). Nachiket, a brave and noble soul, captured these wonderful snaps.

Enjoy and peace

Time for credit report

Take shower twice a day, Clip your finger nails every week, toe nails once every 4 weeks. Along with that add, 'check your free credit report once every year'. After reading numerous articles about identity thefts, I was thinking about getting a credit report done meself. But didnt know of where to start. Then, I became a victim of a credit card fraud (the dispute is still going on).

So, I desparately started searching a good place to get the credit report (without getting caught in their web - only $12.99 per month which will be automatically deducted from your already paltry bank account for the rest of your life). I was surprised to find about the federal mandate last year to help consumers spot identity theft.

AnnualCreditReport.com offers consumers free copies of their own credit reports. It was launched in December by Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, the three major credit reporting agencies in the United States, in accordance with the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003. The federal law aims to quell growing concerns over privacy and disclosure of sensitive financial data. Each site asks a series of questions to match credentials with your identity to verify if they are in fact giving the information only to you.

I did mine yesterday and it was painless - Give it a try :)

Make sure you click on the link (or) are not mis-typing the url because an independent privacy watchdog group has reported 200 impostors for this site. Some of those sites have been taken down but the others are still up and running

I see myself as a dabbler of sorts. For me 'jack of all trades' is not an insult. I have made a life around that. Given.. that you have to be a master in atleast one thing. But to make life interesting, I am not afraid to try things in which I dont have any flair. The only principle I have is I should not hit the death bed kicking and screaming .. "Gosh I wish I had tried that". After 3 years of playing violin, I figured that I have no skill whatsoever. I tried guitar for a year before I came to the same conclusion[My friends and roomies wish I had know that earlier ;)]. My interests currently are photograhy (no i dont suck at it ;)) and investments (deep value investment). I am married to an adorable woman, who takes considerable amount of my time ;). She brought in around 1.25 megajoules of positive energy in my life and for that I would always be indebted to her. My ambition in life is to live life in prosperity (both in wealth and in values) and advance in the right direction every day, week, month and year for a lifetime. As much as I am an extrovert, I like spending time in places unbeknownst to homosapiens.
