Wow!

Originally posted by vijayM Dear Basant Sir, It is a good decision to end BC with TED the place from where we began our journey of investing in stock market. I joined TED in 2008 the year that witnessed worst ever market fall. By May 2009, my portfolio was down by 60% to 1.95L. Now in 2015 it has reached more than 1C. Before joining TED I was aiming to reach around 70L by 2026 but with the help of TED/BC, I crossed 1c in 2014 itself.That is the power of BC and TED. .......... I will always remember you for your honesty and integrity apart from your expertise in stock market. I respect your decision to stay out of public forums and accordingly will not disturb you any further. All the best for your future endeavors. with deepest prayers vijayM

Basant Ji,

Good Morning.

I can understand the pain and discomfort you are going through right now which have forced you to close BC. I know this world itself is very cruel to people who wants to do something good for the people, forget about online world, that's unreality within reality. It's quite a "Human" nature Basant Ji, neither you nor I can help it. There are certain characteristics of the "Human" nature that can't be avoided. We have have to live with it and digest it. I remember a line from Gita, which I always apply in my life - "कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥", and that's exactly what I want to say you at this stage of your life.

Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma phaleshou kada chana – You have the right to perform your actions,but you are not entitled to the fruits of the actions.

Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani – Do not let the fruit be the purpose of your actions, and therefore you won’t be attached to not doing your duty.

"When we help someone, we don’t do it for the sake of something in return, whether we are rewarded for our actions or not, this is not our concern. And when we help someone without worrying about our own gains, this is selflessness. We don’t think what are we going to get from that. The importance is that as a human being we have been able to help someone."

What I am trying to say here is that you can't just leave like that. You have done all the hard work for so many years for the betterment and benefit of the investor community, and you must continue as that's your duty. You should not feel disheartened or dejected by few people who wants to pull you down, instead you should stand tall and continue as you used to do. I wish my voice reaches you loud and clear, as I can't see people break down like this. You have been doing good work, continue doing it, no one is here to judge you. You know what you are doing. So, all the best and "carry on".

That's my simple two word message to you. Hope to see you soon with a "Hello" message ;)

Thank you for the wisdom that you have shared and I am sure will continue to do so. Learned a lot from you via TED and a short time in BC and reading TI and of course meeting you in person was awesome.
You have made a difference in my life!

So finally last few hours only. Tomorrow market will be there but no TED/BC. For last few years Ted/Bc was like market to me. I learned so many new things in life here. I wonder whether ever I will be able to learn even half of what I have learned from Ted/BC. I know it will be near impossible to find a Honest, caring down to earth person like you. For last 9+ years you are one of my biggest assets of my life. 30th June 2015 will remain as one the saddest day for rest of our life. Thanks for everything. Hats off to you. TAKE a Bow Sir.
