Living With The Stars

For a discerning buyer looking to acquire a luxury pad in Mumbai, Vithal Nagar Co-operative Housing Society in the suburbs may not sound like a great address. But, what if this is where Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s Juhu bungalow Pratiksha is located? That information is certainly going to draw in several loaded home buyers. Because of Bachchan’s presence here, the location has turned into a prestigious one.Residents take pride in being part of this address. Prices are higher as it is counted as a prominent address.
Apartment prices at Anuradha Satyamurthy Residency, the seven-storey building that shares the compound wall with Bachchan’s bungalow Pratiskha, are around 20% higher than other buildings in Mumbai’s Juhu area, home to several Bollywood stars.Builder KV Satyamurthy converted his bungalow, built in 1962, into this high-rise apartment in 2001. He has retained two top floor terrace apartments for himself, and sold the other five that fetched him nearly 20% premium, and still continues to be hot property. Read more of this post
China-The World’s Largest Economy
October 14, 2014 1 Comment
China has now overtaken the US to become the world’s largest economy, according to the International Monetary Fund.
The method used by the IMF adjusts for purchasing power parity, explained here. The simple logic is that prices aren’t the same in each country: a shirt will cost you less in Shanghai than San Francisco, so it’s not entirely reasonable to compare countries without taking this into account. Though a typical person in China earns a lot less than the typical person in the US, simply converting a Chinese salary into dollars underestimates how much purchasing power that individual, and therefore that country, might have. The Economist’s Big Mac Index is a great example of these disparities.
So the IMF measures both GDP in market exchange terms, and in terms of purchasing power. On the purchasing power basis, China has overtaken the US and become the world’s biggest economy.
By the end of 2014, China will make up 16.48% of the world’s purchasing-power adjusted GDP (or $17.632 trillion), and the US will make up just 16.28% (or $17.416 trillion).However,it’ll be some time yet until the lines cross over in raw terms, not adjusted for purchasing power. By that measure, China still sits more than $6.5 trillion lower than the US, and isn’t likely to overtake for quite some time.

How To Get Your Hashtag To Trend On Twitter
October 9, 2014 Leave a comment
There are many reasons why certain hashtags trend. Some trend because of a big following while others trend because of the news. Getting your hashtag to trend is by no means an easy feat, but it is possible. In order to get your hashtag on Twitter to trend, these are the 5 things you need.
- Have a large, targeted following. Many of the people who get their own hashtag trending tend to have well over 50,000 followers. Find the most successful Twitter user in your niche and follow that person’s followers who are likely to follow back. Your following will eventually grow large enough to get a hashtag to trend on Twitter.
- Make the hashtag something good enough to trend. If you are approaching a certain follower milestone, tweet that out. Uber Facts used the hashtag #UberFactsTo6Million to get more people knowing about their approaching milestone.
- Give your followers a reason to tweet with the hashtag.Eg Uber Facts decided to do a $100 giveaway.
- Ask for tweets and retweets. Anyone who tweeted #UberFactsTo6Million or retweeted Uber Facts tweet with the hashtag got entered into the giveaway. As the hashtag started getting attention, people went to Uber Facts’ original tweet, saw the giveaway, and decided to retweet the tweet and get in on the action.
- Give people a reason to continue tweeting. Uber Facts decided to double the prize from $100 to $200 in honor of the tweet trending. This got more people’s attention and resulted in the hashtag trending for a longer period of time.
Those are the 5 things you need in order to get a hashtag to trend on Twitter. It is entirely possible that you become one of those movie stars or influential singers who has million of active followers, but for those of us who won’t be getting those two things, this is the best way to get a hashtag to trend on Twitter.
