Most people have separate career and financial goals. However, as your article (Two Sides of the Same Coin, 24 January) pointed out, the focus should be on synchronising the two for best results. -Bal Govind, Bareilly
For majority of urban Indians, career is the most rewarding asset. As the job market becomes more complicated and less secure, career management is indispensable. And while at it, one shouldn’t overlook aligning finances with professional goals. This enhances flexibility of choice and ensures your finances aren’t a mess because of a sabbatical, career switch, etc.

Mudar Patherya’s article on investing in charity (Investing in Good is Good Investing, 24 January) has a refreshingly honest perspective. While we should not doubt the intentions of investors, it is more useful to learn how to go about it better. -Yasmeen Iqbal, e-mail
You have rightly observed that few people look at charity as an investment avenue.
In your 10 January issue, Mudar Patherya recommended investing in the stocks of a company called Shakti-Met Dor. I was unable to find such a stock in either the NSE or the BSE. Please clarify.
Manu Swami, e-mail
The stock is quoted on the BSE with the code shakmet and scrip number 526510.
