should I, should I not…?

assuming this is a personal finance site (which predominantly it still is)…..and

the fact that many of us know that there is a huge connection between health and wealth….and

there is a huge connection between sensible living and good health…and

there is a huge connection between healthy thought, healthy actions, healthy food and good health…..

should I venture writing about food, exercise, ….etc.?

Just a question…..

this is because personal finance is limiting. Beyond a point it is about DOING, not knowing. I cannot sit in one corner of Mumbai with requirements completely different from my younger readers..I cannot really write about philosophy of living…

  1. Please go ahead.

  2. Sir, being a regular reader of your articles/thoughts, I request you to please keep writing on sensible living/ good health/ thoughts which may not seems directly related with personal finance but definitely, indirectly gives shape to it. People keep printing notes by digging their head round the clock in work, ruining the health, only to pay them back to doctors at later stage of life. Personal finance is a lot more than merely managing the piece of papers.

  3. With all due respect, articles about health(which is your predominant concern I know!) are much expected by your humble reader. IMHO a blogger is a free and limitless person. You are already doing a fantastic job out there to your readers!

  4. Yes,I think you might, why not.

  5. yes please.i love the family and relationship stories -sad,happy,prudent,foolish -bring them on!
    please write on money and relationships and how prudence applies to them both

    Dear Subra,

    I think you should write about health & food…We would love to know your thoughts as we always liked what you thought about personal finance….Looking forward to it….

  7. I do feel that you should write what you feel / think about strongly. Whether that is related to personal finance, which you have been doing. Or it is about food.
    But I am most interested in your philosophical thoughts. i do feel you can impart your immense experience of life to us, and which by ourselves it will be difficult to get.

    Somehow, all philosophies and attitudes, whether of life or whether of investing or of food habits interweave with each other.

  8. Subra..Go ahead.Health is anyway wealth and you can in your own way show us the way there as well…2 for “JOY” as they say….Good Luck

  9. Subra sir

    Any words of wisdom is always welcome if it helps atleast to tickle ones thoughts… but ensure atleast one post on finance topic daily. Rest will be just the bonus for us. Have a great day.

  10. Agree Ramesh! Interweaving is the biggest reason why I thought of writing all this. The guy who leads a simple life – is also leading a frugal life, he is spending within his means. If he takes care of his EATING and HEALTH, he is also spending less on medication. That puts more money in his hands to save/invest…

    see the interweaving has started!! lol

    one finance topic a day is resulting in boring and repetitive posts…so the need to diversify too

  11. Please do. It will be a learning for us.

  12. Sure!
    You must write about health, lifestyle and philosophy too.
    Have thoroughly enjoyed reading all your finance related posts. Im sure will love the new ones too.
    You posts neways have a thing or two about lifestyle and peoples psycholofy :P
    Awaiting for the new SubraHelth :)

    I think you should stick to writing about investing wisely. Your core strength is Finance & Investment & your Readers are quite happy with your posts peppered with humour.

    My advice:

    If you have no topic on Investments to write or you are bored to death –pl. take a sabbatical –like me–or write once a week !

    No names– I have seen one such Speciality Blog shifting focus writing on all the available topics & it has become a big pain now.

  14. Waiting to read your views…

    Sir , as u have diversified your portfolio among various sectors as per your comfort level , u can diversify your blog too.(”)

  16. Agree with Dr Chandrashekhar

  17. Subra,

    I have been reading yur blog post for past 2 years. I never felt anything boring. You already are giving right mix up with finance,living,food,physical work out,philosophy etc.

    Continue your work and make sure there is a article to read when i logon every morning :P

  18. A Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!

  19. sir,
    agree with @prabee.
    it would be actually boring for non finance people like us if you stick to finance only.
    you and a few readers whose comments i like keep life interesting.

  20. Hi Subra,
    As you rightly mentioned health and wealth are interwined. We could have accumulated huge retirement corpus say 20 crores. But what is the use if we could not even walk to nearby ATM to withdraw money OR eat whatever we want.

    My take is following healthy lifestyle not only leads to good financial health but also helps us to use the hard earned money which we accumulated throughout our lifetime.

    Moreover, reading from someone who has vast financial experience and following some good health practises is like having banana with honey. So please sir, share your thoughts on living a full life.

    Thanks.

  21. Great! Knowing you, the health posts would be bitter medicine for us. Or maybe an advice to stop taking medicines :)

    Yr readers are loyal and will lap up anything u write. So, plz write whatever u enjoy writing.

  22. Yes sir. But please do realize that health, exercise and food concepts are sometimes subjective, and may even be outside your area of competence.

  23. I feel that you are just excellent in your sarcastic way of expressing how to lead and plan for a healthy financial life, and you should continue to do that. You remind some of the most basic things over and over again, we tend to forget. And in the process, motivate us.
    As for healthy food and stuff, there are other websites there that focus on healthy eating, working out, living life as a raw foodist (if foodist is a word, lol) etc etc.

  24. Keep your wit, that’s all.

  25. lol Subra, whatever you write I assure you it’s going to taste delicious!!

    Other than that, people have different interests so a foodie might not like reading about finance or vice versa. I would suggest seperate sections for so thst people do not have to filter the content.
