    Netflix crackdown is coming

    Had bad experience at mumbai airport after a long time. Almost every driver wanted the booking through app, but travel and payment outside it. But still a lot better than the pre ola, meru days. Then you used to get the feeling of landing in sub saharan region. They didn't even have a pre paid...

    How are Midea Air Conditioners

    I have stopped buying appliances from flipkart since the first experience with Jeeves (1.5 ~ 2 years ago). They have no knowledge and are a liability. I tried letting flipkart know, but they were more interested in closing the negative feedback rather than doing something about it.

    Pulwama attack

    Nope. When I said In land terror attack, Prime focus was not pak . Naxals were attacking us big time even though it didn’t have the same level of public interest. For instance in the early 2010 naxal attack they claimed the life of 70 odd CRPF. Compare that with Pulwama. If international...

    Where this country is heading - do you have any hope ?

    I meant that it was also a Gov to gov deal. If there was nothing there, then there was no corruption in any military deal

One option is fd in Shriram finance and such(higher interest than bank with good reputation) if you...
