The 99,99,999 carvings of Lord Shiva at Unakoti Hills
Unakoti Hills is a pilgrimage site for Lord Shiva located in the state of Tripura. There are several legends associated with this surreal place, which has massive rock reliefs commemorating the Hindu god.
One among them is that of a local sculptor named Kallu Kumar, who was a devotee of Shiva’s wife Parvati. He wanted to accompany the deities to their abode on Kailash Parvat, but Shiva wasn’t too keen on the proposition.
It was then that Parvati suggested that Kallu Kumar carve out one crore (10 million) images of Shiva overnight to appease him.
Even though he laboured tirelessly all night, the sculptor fell one short of the said number and hence missed his opportunity. Unakoti, thus, can be literally translated to one less than a crore.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.


I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.

In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas ā€œsmartā€ luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.

So, was I ā€œluckyā€ to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write ā€œWhat Works on Wall Street?ā€ Absolutely.

Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
