My Birthday Thoughts

 Today I turn 63 years old


My Birthdays Thoughts 
 
I am a non smoker . Never took a drag in my 5 years as a Resident student in St. Stephen's College , Delhi and afterwards.
 
I have survived ( because I never smoked. After College I got Muscular Dystrophy ( gradual wasting / weakening of muscles ) and smoking would have destroyed my frail lungs . 
 
Also , I never took liquor . Keeps me financially OK. 
 
Money saved should be used buy Liquor shares
 
Two Indian liquor barons , Late Brig Kapil Mohan of Mohan Meakins ( Old Monk ) and KP Jaiswal of Jagatjit Industries ( Aristocrat ) were teetotalers themselves.
------------
 
There is money in liquor.
 
Some investors do not invest in what they call " Sin " companies that are in Alcohol, Tobacco and even Hotel businesses. ( Why Hotels ? ) 
 
But a lot of money has been made by investors in shares of ITC , United Breweries, McDowell ( now named United Spirits ) , Radico Khaitan ( earlier named Rampur Distillery and Chemicals Co. Ltd ) etc.
-------------
 Mohan Meakins was earlier named Dyer Meakin . It was owned by the family of Gen Dyer , the Butcher of Jallianwala Bagh
--------------
 
Some time back , I used to attend AGM s of Punjab Breweries , Ludhiana ( merged with United Breweries ).
There I used to inter act with top executives of UB Group ( though I never met Vijay Mallya ).
I recall two different aspects of Vijay Mallya 's personality

Unlocking Phenomenal Shareholder Value - Brilliance of Vijay Mallya

Punjab Breweries was merged with United Breweries , Foreign partners ( First
Scottish & Newcastle ) were brought in. Phenomenal share holder value was unlocked. Similarly , in the case of McDowell and Co. We held shares in Carew and Co. ( merged with McDowell ) . The struggle with Chhabrias for control of Shah Wallace brought forth the fighter in Vijay Mallya
------------
 At the Court convened meeting of shareholders for merger of Punjab Breweries with United Breweries I put forth a point that Post merger , Ludhiana factory be , always , referred as United Breweries ( Unit Punjab Breweries ,Ludhiana ) so that the word Punjab always remains. I have never taken liquor. But when ever , around Punjab , I see a Bottle of Kingfisher Beer , I read ( now with Specs ) on the label the words Unit Punjab Breweries.

  6. My Memories :-


    At the Court convened meeting of shareholders for merger of Punjab Breweries with United Breweries I put forth a point that Post merger , Ludhiana factory be , always , referred as United Breweries ( Unit Punjab Breweries ,Ludhiana ) so that the word Punjab always remains. I have never taken liquor. But when ever , around Punjab , I see a Bottle of Kingfisher Beer , I read ( now with Specs ) on the label the words Unit Punjab Breweries.
