Thangam, Swarnam, Sona, Kanak, Au - All mean Gold

Today (15/Oct/2009), Dhanteras festival is celebrated in some parts of India and the day is considered auspicious to take up new ventures and buy gold. I am starting my new blog http://golddata.blogspot.com, and this is my third blogging initiative, while others being http://srikanthramu.com (http://srikanthramu.wordpress.com) and http://ggears.blogspot.com. So, why a blog on Gold? Well, this metal is a fascinating one and Gold rules the market with its prices touching new heights. Some consider Gold as auspicious, some see it as an investment, few choose it for fashion, but you would hardly find a person disliking Gold. Need less to say, its the favorite metal for majority of people.

In this blog, besides writing about Gold, I've included the Gold price chart from kitco.com that shows the trend in gold prices for the last 6 months. The Graph shows the Gold rates in USD per ounce (oz) of Gold. Also, I've included a link from The Madras Jewellers & Diamond Marchants Association, that shows Gold rates for 22ct and 24 ct in Rupees (INR).

BTW, Wish you all a Happy and sparkling Diwali/Deepavali.

Srikanth Ramu
