New Year Celebrations

"Happy New Year 2011" That greeting will be said and heard for at least the first couple of weeks as a new year gets under way.

The celebration of the new year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago. In the years around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first New Moon (actually the first visible cresent) after the Vernal Equinox (first day of spring).

NEW YEAR TRADITIONS

Other traditions of the season include the making of New Year's resolutions. That tradition also dates back to the early Babylonians. The early Babylonian's most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equipment.

AULD LANG SYNE

The song, "Auld Lang Syne," playing in the background, is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English-speaking country in the world to bring in the new year. At least partially written by Robert Burns in the 1700's, it was first published in 1796 after Burns' death. Early variations of the song were sung prior to 1700 and inspired Burns to produce the modern rendition. An old Scotch tune, "Auld Lang Syne" literally means "old long ago," or simply, "the good old days."

MCA Family Wishes A Happy And A Worthy New Year.

An inspiring story of the World’s youngest CEO

Suhas Gopinath                                                    

When 14-year-old Suhas Gopinath started Globals Inc ten years ago from a cyber cafe in Bengaluru, he didn't know that he had become the youngest CEO in the world.

Today, Globals is a multi-million dollar company with offices in the United States, India, Canada, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, Australia, Singapore and the Middle East and has 100 employees in India and 56 abroad.

Hailing from a middle class family, his father worked as a scientist for the Indian Army and he used to study in the Air Force school in Bengaluru.Since he had no computer at home, he offered the local internet cafe owner to open the shop during afternoon when usually it was closed and it helped him to surf the net for free. Once he got the chance to  manage the shop and browse the net, he began to build websites. He registered himself as a website builder in a freelance marketplace in the web and his first website was done for free as he had no references.

Once he began to get paid, he built his own portal, Coolhindustan.com focused on NRIs. When he was 14, Network Solutions offered him a part-time job in the US and they said they would sponsor his education in the US . He rejected the offer because that was the time he had read a story about Bill Gates and how he started Microsoft. He thought it was more fun to have his own company. 

Soon after his 9th standard summer vacation, he started his own company, Globals Inc. He registered his company in the US as in India , you are not able to start a company unless you are 18. It takes only 15 minutes to start a company in the US .

ഹോ... ഈ ലാലേട്ടന്റെ ഒരു കാര്യം

രാവിലെ പറയും മലബാറില്‍ പോയി ഗോള്‍ഡ് വാങ്ങിക്കോളാന്‍.....

ദേ.. മലബാറില്‍ പോയി ഗോള്‍ഡ്‌ വാങ്ങി കുറച്ചു കഴിഞ്ഞാല്‍ പറയും അതുകൊണ്ടുപോയി മണപ്പുറം ഫൈനാന്‍സില്‍ പണയംവെച്ച് കാശ് വാങ്ങാന്‍...ഹോ.

പിന്നെ ഉച്ചയായാല്‍ പറയും, കിട്ടിയ പൈസയില്‍ കുറച്ച് HEDGE EQUITIES ല്‍ കൊണ്ട് പോയി ഇന്‍വെസ്റ്റ്‌ ചെയ്യാന്‍.

പിന്നെ വൈകുന്നേരമായാല്‍ ഇയാള്‍ക്കൊരു ചോദ്യമുണ്ട്....

"വൈകീട്ടെന്താ പരിപാടി? "

ബാക്കി കാശ് പോക്കറ്റില്‍വെക്കാനും ഇയ്യാള്‍ സമ്മതിക്കില്ല.....
