Vijay Kedia's 3-minute-long musical investment lessons have a Kishore Kumar twist: ‘Zindagi ko samriddh hai banana'
The video is not a regular one. Instead, Vijay Kedia sings his own rendition of Kishore Kumar's evergreen song 'Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana', incorporating his own lyrics that are actually some golden investing lessons for all.
In the opening lyrics of the song, Vijay Kedia sings 'Zindagi ko samriddh hai banana, kharch karne se pahle bachana (Have to make life fulfilling, better to be safe before spending).'
In the song, he teaches investors which investment to stay away from and what to do instead.
Towards the beginning, Kedia in his musical voice explains that while fashion and luxury gadgets as well as curated brand advertisements may lure one everyday, they must not fall into the trap because they are depreciating assets.
'Paise mail nahi haathon ka khazana,' he says, calling money important.
Next, he says that you must party within limits, and not show off your wealth. He further advises to stay away from EMIs as they are a trap and one might get caught in a cycle, eventually ruining their lives.
Towards the end of the song, Vijay Kedia offers advice on how to invest and save money instead.
He says that you must invest with the savings from your income. Kedia advises to start an SIP.
'10 hazar mahine ka 20 saal lagana, 12% se crore hai ho jana (Invest ₹ 10,000 a month for 20 years, with a 12% interest your investment will turn into a crore),' he sings.
The video soon went viral on social media, with people applauding Kedia's three-minute long song on investments.
'As always informative, right in topic, lovely times and music and singing. Why people go to finance courses and influencer when you get the wisdom here in 3-4 mins on simple and effective way. Hats off to you [sic],' a user commented.
'I think God has sent his best student for all of us to be protected from unseen moment life by taking precautions, explained beautifully by sir,' another chimed in.
'Melodious with powerful lesson to learn. Isko kehtay hai simple basha main samjana (This is called explaining with simple words)," a third user commented.
In the video, Kedia is seen wearing a black t-shirt and black sunglasses, enjoying himself fully as he sings the song.

2,735 reasons why India needs to cut red tape
2,735 reasons why India needs to cut red tape Swaminathan S Anklesaria Aiyar TNN Updated: Jul 26, 2025, 19:30 IST IST India's ambitious renewable energy goals are threatened by excessive red tape, exemplified by the 2,735 compliance obligations for solar plants. This regulatory burden, involving numerous agencies and manual processes, hinders ease of doing business and discourages investment. Streamlining compliance is crucial for achieving a sustainable energy future and attracting necessary funding Many analysts have urged second-generation economic reforms if India is to hit its Viksit Bharat target of becoming a high-income country by 2047. The target will require the rate of GDP growth to rise to 8% per year, a very tough task. Many analysts say that first-generation reforms are largely done but cannot by themselves create 8% growth, for which a second set of reforms is essential. This analysis has two major flaws. One is that it ignores the high political cost of major new reforms, as shown by the fiasco on elementary agricultural reforms. There has also been resistance to faster land acquisition bids. One of Prime Minister Modi's top priority projects is the bullet train from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. Land acquisition for the project was completed only in 2024, more than a decade after it was envisaged.

Japanese stocks retreated from record highs, with profit-taking ahead of a crucial week that includes the U.S. tariff deadline set by President Donald Trump and several major central bank meetings.

Tesla's stock sank after an earnings miss, a continued slump in European sales, and a warning from CEO Elon Musk that the EV maker faced "rough quarters" as President Trump's budget bill killed off tax credits. Optimism around trade deals remained strong after the US-Japan agreement helped push the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite to new record highs on Wednesday. Meanwhile, media reports indicated that the US and EU are nearing a deal to impose a 15% tariff on most European importssignificantly lower than the previously threatened 30%.
