Hi CB, how are you ??
what impact can it be on our market after this news of earthquake ??

an earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale struck in mid-ocean at a depth of 24.4 km, 130 km (80 miles) from the coastal city of Honshu and 373 km (231 miles) from Tokyo.

The quake, which was followed 30 minutes later by an aftershock registering above 7, triggered 13 meter high waves that struck the coast off Honshu, washing away cars and people and destroying buildings.

All power is down in the affected region, and all trains and buses have been stopped in Tokyo. Narita International airport has also been shut down for inspection of runways and other facilities. The country's nuclear plants have all been shut down as a safety measure

Hi MICKY, GE, no, dont enter them yet, wait for a few days for Global Markets to settle

Hi Varun, its looking weak. don't enter it yet. cal fall further if breaks 35.50

CB what r ur views abt JHS Sevend for 1,2 years..

An Open letter to God.
"In Japan ,Large areas of the countryside were surrounded by water and have been unreachable .Hundreds of thousands of hungry survivors are huddled in darkened emergency centres cut off from rescuers and aid. At least 1.4 million households had gone without water since the quake, and food and gasoline were quickly running out across the region. . Some 2 million households were without electricity.
And as if this was not enough..Japan now stares at a nuclear `tsunami' .Hourly radiation at the site of No. 1 reactor at Fukushima, was measured at 882 micro sievert, in excess of the allowable level of 500, Kyodo news agency reported .
Three reactors at the plant lost their cooling functions in the aftermath of quake and tsunami because of a power outage.Japan's nuclear safety agency reported an emergency following a malfunction in the cooling system.Japan's nuclear safety agency reported an emergency following a malfunction in the cooling system."

Please God ,where are you? Haven't the poor Japanese folks gone thr' enough ? Why do you spare then , the greedy contractors and polititians in India ,who are a 'tsunami' to the children of lesser God here ??.Kindly do not add to the sufferings of tsunami ravaged areas any further.

regards,

Gitanjali.
