Market Volatility

By

When I first entered the world of the stock market, I had only a basic understanding. After watching series like Scam 1992, I felt like I should do something like Harshad Mehta. I also jumped in to try my luck in the market.

My learning journey started with a bang! YouTube, books, websites – I consumed everything I could. Candlestick patterns, support & resistance, technical analysis, option greeks (theta, delta, gamma, vega) – I learned it all.

I made my first profit and thought – "This is a money-making machine!" The moment I made money, I felt like I had become a professional trader. Every day, as soon as the stock market opened, I would sit in front of the monitor with greedy eyes!

"Risk hai to Ishq hai" – But in reality… Risk is just risk!

When I was making a profit, it was pure joy! But when losses started piling up, my ego got in the way – "This is just a phase! My time will come again!"

And then began the dangerous cycle of investing and losing...

1st Time – "This is not for me!"

After my first big loss, I felt that this wasn’t my game, and I should quit trading! So, I stopped.

But then greed pulled me back…

2nd Time – "Let’s try again!"

After some time, I decided to learn option trading again. I took paid memberships, followed pro traders' strategies, and thought, "This time, I’ll trade smartly!"

Again, I made some profit – "Yes! Now I understand the right way!" But then, once again, losses started coming in… and this time, everything collapsed!

"Even stop-loss doesn’t stop!"

After a massive loss, I told myself again – "That’s it! I will never trade again!"

Trading vs. Reality

  • When I made a profit, I felt like a pro-trader.
  • When I made a loss, I realized that thinking like the market is not easy.
  • My biggest mistake – emotional trading and taking excessive risks.

3rd Time – "Last Try! This time, systematic approach!"

After a long break, I entered the market again – this time with better strategies, more knowledge, and more patience.

I focused on risk management, capital allocation, and diversification. But… this time too, the market did what it always does – "Bye Bye, Capital!"

And finally... My capital became zero!

"Left it for the last time!"

After losing for the third time, I understood that entering the market is easy, but exiting is difficult! Finally, I quit the stock market forever!

My message for you:

The stock market is not a lottery where you can test your luck. If you cannot control your mind and emotions, the market will wipe out your balance!

It's Okay to Not Have a Huge Friend Circle

By Anil
 The funny thing about labels, isn't it? We slap them on people as easily as we double-tap an Instagram post. "Friend." It rolls off the tongue, a casual descriptor for the person you exchange memes with or the colleague you grab lukewarm coffee with in the breakroom. But sometimes, I think we dilute the word, stretch it so thin it becomes almost meaningless. These aren't always the people who see the cracks in your carefully constructed facade and still choose to sit beside you in the quiet. The world outside the comforting chaos of school and college can feel… vast. And suddenly, the pool of potential "friends" shrinks while the pressure to network and connect in the corporate jungle swells. You find yourself nodding along to conversations that bore you, forcing smiles at jokes that don't land, all in the name of building these elusive "friendships." But what if those connections feel more like a performance? What if you're constantly edi...

When Speaking Up Feels Too Big

By Anil
 I’ve been sitting with something for a few days now, unsure whether to even put it into words. It’s one of those situations where you start questioning your place — your role on the team, whether your thoughts carry any weight — especially when they go against a decision that’s already in motion. A few days ago, I saw a new marketing campaign at work. It ties our product to a recent military operation — one that’s still fresh, still sensitive. The idea is no longer just an idea; the deal is done, the digital posters are ready, and I’ve been asked to send them out through our official WhatsApp channel. My gut reaction? Should we really be doing this? It felt like we were trying to ride the emotional wave of something serious — and not in a thoughtful or respectful way. More like capitalizing on emotion than honoring it. But here’s the thing: I’m not in marketing. I’m a web developer. I wasn’t part of the brainstorming, and my role is just to support the rollout. Technically, it’s n...
