Merger of bandhan with gruh - Good or Bad?? Since last week, I am heating the loud noise the recent merger between Bandhan Bank and Gruh finance has created. I also got concerns from couple of my friends stating that this is not a good marriage. As an investor let me give you the some points as to why this marriage is made in heaven [ in short, this marriage is good news for the investors of both entities + investors of HDFC Bank + small MFI's ]. Per new arrangement, shareholding of HDFC will be 14.95% As per the norms, one entity [in this case, HDFC] can own maximum 9.9% in merged entity; so HDFC will dilute its holding in merged entity -> which will have direct positive effect on HDFC Bank.

Road Trip from Bengaluru to Yercaud
During the Good Friday weekend [April 1st week], we wanted to move out and needed to be back before Sunday as our son had his culminating ceremony after his 3 years in Montessori. As we were planning to take out our Cheetah for a roaring drive, one of my acquaintances called me that he has started his camping business in Yercaud and that I should visit it once. And Bingo the plan was made as Yercaud is 240 km away from Bengaluru where we stay, and the roads are also awesome. We packed our bags the night before, and on the 7th around 5:30 we left for Yercaud and reached at 10:30 with 2 stops of 10 mins & 30 mins [ At Aahaa Family Restaurant ] respectively. This restaurant is on the route itself, so no detour. * Route Taken: Electronic City -> Hosur -> Krishnagiri -> Karimangalam -> Bommidi -> Poomarathoor -> Kolagur -> Karadiyoor -> Wild Troupe. Route * Total Distance: 480 km [To & Fro] * Trip Dates: 7th & 8th * Mileage: 15.2 & 14.6 [AC on fu...
