my tryst with fish farming

the market are showing remarkale strength. the japanese feel india is cheap. they are used to the nikkei at 30,000 levels so i guess 7000 looks like a value pick.
anyways, i continued to stay away from dalal street and look for other sources of income.
i decided to take a look at fish farming after a friend had difficulty in purchasing some. and ofcourse, i have always been impressed on druckers ideas on fish farming, how it is the next big wave. and i like New Marine Harvest.

i ventured to a dam near my place after seeing a photograph of the district collector at the fish farm, describing how the govt. would supply lakhs of fingerlings to prospective cultivators and how it provide employment to many.

i reached the dam at around 3 in the afternoon. a compound with the board inspector of fisheries was locked. the person who takes care of it leaves at 2 for lunch and only returns at 5.

luckily, there was another dam about 20 kms away. i went there and met an unhelpful guy, who had no interest in helping anyone set up a fish farm. he talked something about the types of fishes. i wonder how he could have been of use to anybody.

anyways, i have always believed that most goverment schemes are mere photo opps. and nothing serious comes off them. sadly, my stand has been vindicated.
