Today is our blog’s anniversary as it turned 3. Time flies pretty fast. These three years have been very incredible and a great learning experience for me.
‘Knowledge is power’. Knowledge is more powerful than physical strength and no great work can be done without knowledge. ReLakhs.com, has now grown into something that I could have only dreamed of. On this special day, I just wanted to say thank you so much for allowing me to share my knowledge with you all.
Thank you for being a part of my journey and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your Financial life’s journey.
On this special occasion – ‘3 year Blog Anniversary ‘, I would like to thank all my blog readers, family members, well-wishers, friends, mentors & friends on Social Media for your continuous encouragement, motivation, trust, constructive criticism and support!
My sincere thanks to;
In my 3rd year of Blogging too, I have adhered to my Blog’s aims and objectives which are;
I believe that ReLakhs is now going through a ‘Consolidation’ phase, have been receiving good traffic (blog visits), comments and responses in a more consistent way!. There were no major ups & downs during the last one year!
From day one, I have always believed in writing articles based on the audience interests and present the topics in the language they understand. The main aim is to reach out as many investors as possible through my blog and encourage them to have a holistic view on their finances.
I am very happy to say that most of my blog readers are now posting queries (on Forum / Blog Comments Section) related to ‘goal based financial planning‘ than on specific financial products..! It is indeed a good sign!
During the last 12 months, I have consciously tried to cover articles across all the categories. But, I could not write many articles as planned, due to certain personal life commitments. Also, at one point-of-time, I had to decide between ‘high number of posts Vs replying to all queries/comments’, I am glad to say that I have opted for ‘replying to all comments’ as my priority task. On an average, I generally spend 2 to 3 hours per day to respond to genuine queries posted in Blog comment section (or) Forum.
On the Technical front, we have moved the website from http version to https (Secured) version.
I would like to share a few statistics…
To be frank with you, as of now I do not have any major plans lined up for the next few months or so. But, all I can promise is that I will ‘keep learning’, ‘adhere to my ethics’ and ‘provide unbiased content’ to my blog readers.
I believe that bloggers are in a sweet-spot, as more and more users are searching for data on the Net, thanks to increasing internet penetration levels in India. Readers can now access useful data at their finger tips. Exciting times ahead!
Request you to kindly share your feedback, criticism, comments….Thank you for your time and support! Cheers!
By the by, June 1st is my Marriage anniversary day too! So, it’s a double dhamaka for me!

Hello Sreekanth,
Belated wishes !! Cheers for your milepost !!.
I've been a regular reader of the articles and must say the content is so informational. Wanted to take a moment to "Thank you" for providing valuable details which is very helpful in financial planning. Looking forward to many more articles.
Best Regards,
Vidya
Thank you so much dear Vidya, for your appreciation, kind and motivating words.
Thank you for being a loyal reader, kindly share the articles with your friends.
Dear Sreekanth
Belated Congratulations for completing three years of this Blog and Wedding Anniversary. I have invested in Mutual Funds based on the advice on your blog in Sep 2016 and most funds showing good returns except Tata Balanced Fund but I think this may also improve by the time I complete one year. It seems you have also changed the recommendation on this Fund.
Coming to Balanced Funds please examine L&T India Prudence Fund- Direct Plan-Growth Option which is performing well.
Kamalakar
Dear Kamalakar Ji,
Thank you for the wishes!
I am holding the units in TATA balanced fund but not making fresh / additional investments. This is just a re-allocation of funds, investing in a small cap fund for my long term goal. Otherwise, I would have continued making fresh investments in this fund.
Having said that, the standard deviation of this fund (volatility) has been on the higher side offlate, so we need to track its performance for some more time and take a call.
I will soon try to publish an article on Balanced funds. Thank you!

Hi Sreekanth,
Happy Anniversary for your blog. I can proudly say that I learnt alot from your blog about mutual fund, only regret is that Why I did not come across your blog earlier but better late than never it became. I also appreciate that you spent 2-3 hours daily for replying to user like us.
I have asked earlier and I am asking again on your view on Bitcoin? What are your short term and long term views on that? Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Prem
Dear Prem,
Thank you for being a loyal reader of ReLakhs.
To be frank, I do not have complete knowledge on Bitcoins, have to study/research more...will surely try to publish an article on this at the earliest.
Thank you Sreekanth, would highly appreciate your research based approach on bit coin, whether it is +ve or -ve.

dear reddy
i have just read your gst information which is very simple form to understand. but my query is regading hotel industries coming under which category of gst
a/c and non a/c hotels and some hotels they make bills and some hotels they run like restaurants without any bill they serve the foods to the public. I dont think they pay any taxes to the government and they give bribes to police and other authorities.
how to catch this type of tax evasions?
Dear Baskar,
Kindly read this article on GST Rates - Hotels..
Nice blog.Keep sharing more.Thanks
Hi,
Congrats! I have a suggestion for your next article which can be a little counter intuitive, but nevertheless good. I think now that people are saving something after learning from your blogs, it time to educate how the money should be well spent - Like after attaining some age people believe that saving and investment are the only key ways to lead a happy retirement. Actually it is the other way, middle age people should be researching to check what they can spend well on to earn more in future, take for example, tech people stagnate when the technology changes, but rarely go out and learn something new. Same thing for artist, sometime a sheen in one area falters overtime and they do not look for new areas to hone their skills. For e.g., one of my friend is a great sketcher & painter, but has not learnt and invested in taking up technology tools & trainings to become better through technology.
I believe everyone should plan for their skills investment OR it can be just for hobby investment to lead a happier life.
Dear Manja,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and it is indeed a good suggestion.
I also thank you for responding to many of other blog readers' queries.
Mr Sreekanth on this special occasion ie 3 year Blog Anniversary - I congratulate you for rendering such a valuable service to the public, more so who are novice in this field. Your suggestions can carry a person a long way & that too in positive direction. We wish you All The Luck in this Field -- Bash on Regardless. GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS.
Belated Happy Marriage Anniversary - May GOD shower HIS Blessings on you Both.
Thank you very much dear Ranbir!
