    How are making sure your family is aware and will manage finances "Just In Case"?

    I think one of the most important part is to tell your family about your debts and investments. When my dad passed away we had to sift through his documents only to find rough bills for ICICI mutual funds. Without folio number all our money was stolen by the advisor.

    Aligarh kachori seller earns Rs 60 lakh, I-T dept on alert after tip off

    Dint scroll do a set of videos showing the roadside stall economics? As for the tax issues most of these people aren't well educated. They know tax but don't know income tax/GST etc. Heck, my family as professional businessman for last 50 years struggled massively with GST. All they knew were...

    I used to do the same back in Hyderabad. In Bangalore, less chance unless you specifically go to Hyderabadi restaurant. 1561615009 Not the OP. But nowadays I am utilizing the Uber Eats Biryani offer. Depends on location it comes around 150-160 (retail price in 250). As you said prices have...

    How's Paradise Restaurant in your city?

    When I was in Hyderabad, I used to try it out often. Later I developed a habit of having hotter i.e. more pepper (god knows why people refer to it as "spicy") biryani, I found Paradise to be on a milder/sweeter side. In Bangalore, I have tried other brands like Meghana, Thalassery etc. couple...

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    I already said this is going to be a futile conversation. The app clearly says estimated voter turnout. If you are unaware Estimated as a verb means "roughly calculate or judge the value, number, quantity, or extent of." And that too for phase 7 which was the last phase on 19th/20th of May so...

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    I might be putting myself into an unnecessary debate but I looked up this claim of difference. There is only site reporting it - Newsclick: https://www.newsclick.in/Elections-commission-India-Votes-Discrepancies-2019 The whole EC thing and voter fraud is a routine trick used by losing parties...

    Pulwama attack

    One of the strangest comparison I have ever seen is between China and India. Most of it is about how China is growing with R&D, infra but always miss the forest for the trees. For example this moment in Wired documentary on Shenzhen (which btw praises China to the boot too): Shows the "dirty"...

    Rahul Gandhi on Rs 12K minimum income plan for poor

    Let me try to bring the discussion back on topic. Indian politician have been trying to remove poverty for a long time. Who can forget Indira Gandhi's "Garibi Hatao" slogan? (which btw was constantly mocked as "Garib ko hatao" as in remove the poor after emergency). The other populist formula...

    Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday pledged to roll out a monthly income guarantee scheme, if his party comes to power at the Centre, to ensure India’s 20 per cent poorest families make at least Rs 12,000 every month. The scheme would cover 5 crore families and benefit nearly 25 crore...

    Pulwama attack

    This thread is full of hilarity. One of them has been use of poor reporting to make a case. People keep using the reports based on "residents of Balakot" as proof nothing happened. Sure. Why not trust people from a region which has been indicated as being hotbed of terrorists. This what I was...

    Swiggy restaurant charges 45 rs for packaging, but forgets to add it

    You are drawing some really weird conclusions here. I can see another big post coming but this is been a boring weekend so here it goes: First, let me agree on something - there are no refunds for bad food. It is just a choice and it happens. It has happened with me on Swiggy and I simply rate...

    Swiggy restaurant charges 45 rs for packaging, but forgets to add it

    I just ordered from a "highly" rated restaurant on Swiggy for Rs. 200 worth of food. A restaurant where I had ordered multiple times. This time around the bread was super smelly and stale. Threw the food away. Called Swiggy. They offered me Rs. 50 coupon for next order. When I pressured further...

    Pulwama attack

    Well, this thread is an example of the saying - You cannot make anyone happy. You're not an avocado. First, there was a problem that once we had a militant attack people used to condemn it. People had issues that no visible retaliation was taking place. Everyone was like - unless India do...

    New cable TV Tariffs to put a hole in your pocket!

    Well, Videocon seems to have head up their ass. They show a package called Diamond Sport Combo. I sent an email to their id asking for activation. Now because that puts my bill way below their previous monthly charge they refused to activate it. What a load of BS. So, going for Jio IPTV from...

    New cable TV Tariffs to put a hole in your pocket!

    From what I read on twitter, both the channel selection link and customer lines are down. So everyone needs to email D2H their choices and keep their fingers crossed that changes happen within 24 hours. I sent them the mail along with the login issue. But they ignored my selection and instead...

    No idea. I am struggling to even select channels as none of the password options - OTP, Forgot Password works. So, stuck with the free 100 channels.
