    Kindle Unlimited. Worth subscribing?

    Thanks to covid I got back to reading. Did 50 books last year. Going pretty slow this year since I had added academic type books also to the reading list.

    70 books!!! Hope I achieve that someday. Do you find better deals at publishers store or kobo than Amazon

    Kindle Unlimited. Worth subscribing?

    Skip it. I keep my ‘want to read’ list in goodreads. And do read a good number of books. I did check kindle unlimited against my list and didn’t find it useful at all.

    Audiophile and gears

    grapevine is that 400se is a bit more tougher to drive than 400i. The 400i is expensive as well. If i decide to change amps again after getting the dongle it would add to the cost. So i will park this Looks like either will be good for me Thats a brilliant suggestion. Already got an iphone...

    Lithuania urges people to throw away Chinese phones

    It is clearly a political and not a smartphone issue. the charges against Huawei is laughable.They are not even trying to mask that the issue is political. Which is ok. I don’t mind the political stance but making fools out of readers with headlines is irritating.

    Have been looking at HD560S and he400se for sometime (among a score of others). The confusion arises since 560S doesnt need an amp while he400se requires one. That adds convenience and changes the price equation. Any idea how they compare if the he400se runs on k5 pro or a topping L30.

    Need to invest 10Lakhs. Advise required

    Probably the safe option is to invest in kvp for 5 years and then move to scss on reaching 60. Lots of assumptions here. The person will not get interest credited during 5 years and tax status is taken as within exempt limit.

    Need help building Excel spreadsheet to calculate financial returns

    Too lazy to do it. Online calculators are available for calculating both scenarios. Guess only the number of years is the variable here https://www.calculator.net/investment-calculator.html

    Need to invest 10Lakhs. Advise required

    Senior citizen saving scheme is recommended. However check tax status as interest is taxable. If no other income is present then it is not a concern. Make sure pan is available

    a chance for TE to acquire more user base -AUDIO VIDEO

    I wasn’t referring to slabs and questionable practices. The cases in various courts were from corporates with plenty of subject matter expert. The issue is that the law were framed with a certain implementation in mind. Many of the steps imagined are still in limbo. However the law hasn’t...

    Why did edible oil prices in India go up so quickly?

    The quality of ingredients in both differ. The lowest quality goes into production of oils. After all oil producers are entrepreneurs and won’t be doing it for loss.

    a chance for TE to acquire more user base -AUDIO VIDEO

    Both pre owned market and hifimart cater to different needs. Shutting one to serve another is not viable. I don’t believe that could be a reason The amount of cases in various high courts and the lack of decent amendments to the gst law has created headaches to a lot. It is possible that they...

    Audiophile and gears

    What they are trying to say is that a dac is not supposed to have a sound signature. Which makes sense. Also it is counterproductive to have a sound signature esp when it’s a blind buy. But they tend to carry it a bit far since they are addressing the issues with audiophile community. It is...

    Why did edible oil prices in India go up so quickly?

    It’s sad the way standards have dropped over the years at scroll. It used to be the best news portal. Looks like they can no longer afford quality journalism. To blame , let alone mention, inefficient farming in an article about price increase is lazy. At least they should learn how to google...

    Parenting skills

    Don’t expect overnight results. My 8 year old doesn’t spend more than 30 mins on tab for entertainment. That too not everyday. We don’t spend more than 2.5 hrs on tv in a week. At five she used to watch a lot more. Just keep informing that’s it’s bad for them. They will come around with time.
