What would you do if you are suddenly deprived of net access, your only time pass at home? I guess that explains the sporadic updates to this blog. I could not update the blog from work either.

Occasionally when I return home early enough I had nothing to do except read some stuff and dabble with SU DO KU in HINDU. Thanks to my friend Karthik, I learnt a trick or too in cracking harder puzzles but I still have a long way to go.

Coming to think of it, I guess being a single child helps in situations like this. A single child, I feel learns faster to cope with boredom and loneliness with limited resources at hand than, say a child in a larger family. Add to it the fact that I have a strange love for numbers, one week flew away with SU DO KU :) 

Talking about numbers, have any of you heard about financial engineering? And hedge funds for that matter?

It’s all very well to know from Wiki, but i’d be very happy if someone can explain things from a layman’s perspective with a real example of what they do. A business magazine I read recently states that these FE professionals charge upwards of 30-40 lakhs per annum. Not a bad option for anyone inclined to computers and numbers.
