<p>PV...i only know one PV n thats the PV ratio in company accnts.. YIKES i need help!!! n btw, am i the only commerce/A levels student here?? :eek: !!!</p>
<p>laila - wht bout PV?? except for the P/V (Price to Value ratio) peak velocity, peripheral (as in blood), etc are also referred as PV. wht is this in in reference to.</p>
<p>as for P/V (price to value). from my understanding, it is a relative measure to guage the prices of similar companies to its underlyin value as measured by the discounted future cash flows. essentially, what a stock price is the present value of the total discounted future cash flow. mostly coz of greed and fear, the prices fluctuate away from its theoretical price, and that is why P/V is a good relative measure. But, i think P/E is a better tool for such a relative comparison...</p>
<p>i meant the simple profit/volume ratio..also called contribution/sales ratio.. :S
u cant consider PE alone anyway..i mean, cmon, u wudnt only want a high returns, u'd also want consistency...dont u think?
n i was referin2 mercurysqaud's initials..PV!</p>
<p>OKAY ENOUGH OF ACCOUNTING FOR THE WEEK!!! i can rest this weekend!</p>
<p>Oh! Laila : did you have your P'ton interview, I seem to have misplaced the guys no :o</p>
<p>merc's initials PV :) and i thought tht u stuck in some acctin assignment. dont know much about tht merc PV.</p>
<p>as for PE - dont know much bout it (i m a science student) but PE as such dont have much to do with high or low returns. all it tells us is how much you pay for every dollar for earning. ideally, 1 wud want to buy undervalued co (with lower pe) than vice versa...
sorry for the pv confusion...</p>
<p>ok starting a new discussion point</p>
<p>Who here supports the Congress?
Who supports the BJP?
Whose better as PM- Manmohan,Vajpayee or possibly Mrs. G?</p>
<p>You're hell bent on getting this thread split, right? :p</p>
<p>nope,just a poll</p>
<p>btw,I leave u with a disturbing thought</p>
<p>Rahul Gandhi has a Colombian fiance.So in the event of his demise,get set to be ruled by a Columbian by the next 30 years ;)</p>
<p>lmao.</p>
<p>I thought he had a Venezuelan girlfriend...</p>
<p>colombian or venenzuelan - all latinos are HOT!!! I wont mind being ruled by them for rest of my life ;)</p>
<p>on a second thought, i would suggest that we continue to discuss our political inclination on a separate thread to maintain the longivity of this thread. as seen before, statistically all of us should have different political inclination and for anytype of serious intellectual discussion, we should have a thread dedicated.</p>
<p>Akash, i would really love to participate in this discussion away from this specific thread. This thread is better served to discuss ritz cooking, such's non-nocturnal habits, etc. than politics :)</p>
<p>suits me fine.BUT I think we can have a simple poll here,no discussions</p>
<p>Ill start off
Strong BJP supporter
Vajpayee best PM
I dont like Nehru</p>
<p>the third question btw is,Do u think Sardar Patel wud have made a better PM than nehru?</p>
<p>The Nehru Family</p>
<p>At the very beginning of his book, "The Nehru Dynasty" K. N.
Rao mentions the names of JawaharLal's father and grandfather.Jawahar
Lal's father was believed to be Moti Lal and Moti Lal's father was
Gangadhar Nehru. And we all know that Jawahar Lal's only daughter was
Indira Nehru; Kamala Nehru was her mother, who died in
Switzerland. She was totally against Indira's marriage with Feroze. Why? No one tells us that !</p>
<p>Now, who is Feroze? We are told by many that he was the son of the
family grocer. The grocer supplied wines, etc. to Anand Bhavan,previously
known as Ishrat Manzil, which once belonged to a Muslim lawyer named
Mobarak Ali. Moti Lal was earlier an employee of Mobarak Ali. What was the
family grocer's name? One frequently hears that Rajiv Gandhi's grandfather
was Pandit Nehru. But then we all know that everyone has two grandfathers,
paternal and maternal. In fact, the paternal grandfather is deemed to be the more important grandfather in most societies. Why is it then no where we find Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather's name? It appears that the reason is simply this. Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather was a Muslim from Junagadh in
Gujarat.</p>
<p>This Muslim grocer by the name of Nawab Khan, had married a Parsi woman
after converting her to Islam. This is the source where from the myth of
Rajiv being a Parsi was derived. Rajiv's father Feroze was Feroze Khan
before he married Indira, against Kamala Nehru's wishes. Feroze's mother's
family name was Ghandy, often associated with Parsis and this was changed
to Gandhi, sometime before his wedding with Indira, by an affidavit.</p>
<p>The fact of the matter is that (and this fact can be found in many
writings) Indira was very lonely While father Jawahar was busy with politics,
pretty women and illicit sex; the mother was in hospital.</p>
<p>Feroze Khan, the grocer's son was then in England and he was quite
sympathetic to Indira and soon enough she changed her religion, became a
Muslim woman and married Feroze Khan in a London mosque. Nehru was not
happy; Kamala was dead already or dying. The news of this marriage
eventually reached Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Gandhi urgently called Nehru and practically ordered him to ask the young man to change his name from Khan to Gandhi. It had nothing to do with change of religion, from Islam
to!Hinduism for instance. It was just a case of a change of name by an
affidavit.</p>
<p>And so Feroze Khan became Feroze Gandhi.The surprising thing is
that the apostle of truth, the old man declared India's Mahatma
and the 'Father of the Nation' didn't mention this game of his in the
famous book, 'My Experiments with Truth'. Why? When they returned to India,
a mock 'Vedic marriage' was instituted for public consumption.On this
subject, writes M. O. Mathai (a longtime private secretary of Nehru) in his
renowned (but now suppressed by the GOI) 'Reminiscences of the Nehru Age'
on page 94, second paragraph: "For some inexplicable reason, Nehru allowed
the marriage to be performed according to Vedic rites in 1942. An
inter-religious and inter-caste marriage under Vedic rites at that time was
not valid in law. To be legal, it had to be a civil marriage.</p>
<p>It's a known fact that after Rajiv's birth Indira and Feroze lived
separately, but they were not divorced. Mathai writes that the death of
Feroze came as a relief to Nehru and Indira. The death of Feroze in 1960
before he could consolidate his own political forces, is itself a mystery.
Feroze had even planned to remarry. Those who try to keep tabs on our
leaders in spite of all the suppressions and deliberate misinformation, are
aware of the fact that the second son of Indira (Mrs. Feroze Khan) known as
Sanjay Gandhi was not the son of Feroze.</p>
<p>He was the son of another Moslem gentleman, Mohammad Yunus. Here, in
passing, we might mention that the second son was originally named Sanjiv.
It rhymed with Rajiv, the elder brother's name. It was changed to Sanjay
when he was arrested by the British police in England and his passport
impounded, for having stolen a car. Krishna Menon was then India's High
Commissioner in London. He offered to issue another passport to the felon
who changed his name to Sanjay. Incidentally, Sanjay's marriage with the
Sikh girl Menaka (for Indira Gandhi
found the name of Lord Indra's court dancer rather offensive!) took place
quite surprisingly in Mohammad Yunus' house in New Delhi. And the marriage
with Menaka who was a model (she had modelled for Bombay Dyeing wearing
just a towel) was not so ordinary either.</p>
<p>Sanjay was notorious in getting unwed young women pregnant. Menaka too was!
rendered pregnant by Sanjay. It was then that her father, Colonel Anand,
threatened Sanjay with dire consequences if he did not marry her daughter.
And that did the trick. Sanjay married Menaka.</p>
<p>It was widely reported in Delhi at the time that Mohammad Yunus was unhappy
at the marriage of Sanjay with Menaka; apparently he had wanted to get him
married with a Muslim girl of his choice. It was Mohammad Yunus who cried
the most when Sanjay died in the plane accident. In Yunus' book, 'Persons,
Passions & Politics' one discovers that baby Sanjay had been circumcised
following Islamic custom, although the reason stated was phimosis. It was
always believed that Sanjay used to blackmail Indira Gandhi and due to this
she used to turn a
blind eye when Sanjay Gandhi started to run the country as though it were
his personal fiefdom. Was he black mailing her with the secret of who his
real father was? When the news of Sanjay's death reached Indira Gandhi, the
first thing she wanted to know was about the bunch of keys which Sanjay had
with him.</p>
<p>Nehru was no less a player in producing bastards. At least one case is very
graphically described by M. O. Mathai in his "Reminiscences of the Nehru
Age", page 206. Mathai writes: "In the autumn of 1948 (India became free
in 1947 and a great deal of work needed to be done) a young woman from
Benares arrived in New Delhi as a sanyasin named Shraddha Mata (an assumed name). She was a Sanskrit scholar
well versed in the ancient Indian scriptures and mythology. People,
including MPs, thronged to her to hear her discourses. One day S. D.
Upadhyaya, Nehru's old employee, brought a letter in Hindi from Shraddha
Mata. Nehru gave her an interview in the PM's house! .</p>
<p>As she departed, I noticed (Mathai is speaking here) that she was young,
shapely and beautiful. Meetings with her became rather frequent, mostly
after Nehru finished his work at night. During one of Nehru's visits to
Lucknow, Shraddha Mata turned up there, and Upadhyaya brought a letter from
her as usual. Nehru sent her the reply; and she visited Nehru at
midnight...</p>
<p>"Suddenly Shraddha Mata disappeared. In November 1949 a convent in
Bangalore sent a decent looking person to Delhi with a bundle of letters.
He said that a young woman from northern India arrived at the convent a few
months ago and gave birth to a baby boy. She refused to divulge her name or
give any particulars about herself. She left the convent as soon as she was
well enough to move out but left the child behind. She however forgot to
take with her a small cloth bundle in which, among other things, several
letters in Hindi were found. The Mother
Superior, who was a foreigner, had the letters examined and was told they
were from the Prime Minister. The person who brought the letters
surrendered them...</p>
<p>"I (Mathai) made discreet inquiries repeatedly about the boy but failed to
get a clue about his whereabouts. Convents in such matters are extremely
tightlipped and secretive. Had I succeeded in locating the boy, I would
have adopted him. He must have grown up as a Catholic Christian blissfully
ignorant of who his father was."</p>
<p>Coming back to Rajiv Gandhi, we all know now that he changed his so called
Parsi religion to become a Catholic to marry Sonia Maino of Turin, Italy.
Rajiv became Roberto. His daughter's name is Bianca and son's name is Raul.
Quite cleverly the same names are presented to the people of India as
Priyanka and Rahul.! What is amazing is the extent of our people's
ignorance in such matters.</p>
<p>The press conference that Rajiv Gandhi gave in London after taking over as
prime minister of India was very informative. In this press conference,
Rajiv boasted that he was NOT a Hindu but a Parsi. Mind you, speaking of
the Parsi religion, he had no Parsi ancestor at all. His grandmother
(father's mother) had turned Muslim after having abandoned the Parsi
religion to marry Nawab Khan. It is the western press that waged a blitz of
misinformation on behalf of Rajiv. From the New York Times to the Los
Angeles Times and the Washington Post, the big guns raised Rajiv to heaven.
The children's encyclopedias recorded that Rajiv was a qualified Mechanical
Engineer from the revered University of Cambridge. The reality is that in all three years of his tenure at that University Rajiv had not passed a single examination. He had therefore to leave Cambridge without a certificate.</p>
<p>Sonia too had the same benevolent treatment. She was stated to be a student
in Cambridge. Such a description is calculated to mislead Indians. She was
a student in Cambridge all right but not of the University of Cambridge but
of one of those fly by night language schools where foreign students come
to learn English. Sonia was working as an 'au pair' girl in Cambridge and
trying to learn English at the same time. And surprise of surprises, Rajiv
was even cremated as per vedic rites in full view of India's public.</p>
<p>This is the Nehru dynasty that India worships and now an Italian leads a
prestigious national party because of just one qualification - being
married into the Nehru famiy. !</p>
<p>I was forwarded this message and I really found it hilarious.Read thru it if u have the time</p>
<p>ANYONE could have been a better PM than Nehru (not that I'm a BJP supporter or whatever... I support people, not parties).</p>
<p>"ANYONE could have been a better PM than Nehru "</p>
<p>How true</p>
<p>how true...nehru ruined india. Only if he let jinnah become PM for 6 months (he was gonna die of cancer anyway), Indo-Pak probs wouldnt ever have occured, and we never had to live in fear. the indian troops were way into pak kashmir, and were gonna resolve the prob, but NO. Nehru had to go in and ask for UN intervention....fcking bastard....</p>
<p>WOw you guys are pretty much addicted to this. I don't come for one day and jeez 3 pages of new posts? </p>
<p>Anyway no school ( i mean top 50 atleast) gives admission to 100 % of 1600 scorers. And the reason for pton's low acceptance rate is the fact that most of the 740 students who score 1600's apply to that place. ( i know the number because it was on the newspaper recently which talked abt a friend of mine ). So it is possible that same number of people who had 1600's were accepted in Pton and say UPenn. I don't know why but if a person here gets 1600 he /she applies to Pton and Yale. </p>
<p>Drexel and Purdue are both excellent schools ( well not in MIT, Pton or even Tufts caliber but still!). But I didnt know Purdue offered Schols to intels do they ? RPI is another school I am highly doubtful of, dam i mailed them and they said no aid!!! liars!!</p>
<p>Anyway my political inclinations</p>
<p>I like congress
I like Vajapayee?</p>
<p>I hope india is taken over by a military dictator like Lenin or a moderate form of Stalin and tht person purges every corrupt politician . Then democracy should be restored. </p>

<p>
</p>
<p>I'm in La Martiniere. Which schools in Cal do you know?</p>

This and most of the above quotes make me think that India is indeed going to be in good hands in the next 25 or 30 years. I don't know ANY 8/9+ graders who actually like Nehru or Gandhi.... only kids who do are in 4th or 5th and believe what their Hindi text book says....</p>
