Market and you

K. Krishnamurthi

That which goes up has to come down

So says the theory of gravity;

Scrips also are material objects

Movable properties, they are

So say the laws;

The prices of scrips fly up and down

without wings

You rejoice when they are up

You are down when they are down;

It is you who make or mar the market

It is given to men to ape others

Your decisions are not independent

But dependent upon media, men

and materials;

So, you reap what you sow

You are not alone, millions styling as smart

are in the row

Better to avoid any row.

Financial tsunami they say

Hence you have no say

Never sorrow

Destiny has its own index

Hence do not see the index.

(The writer is a Chennai-based advocate.)
