Re: IPL 2025

CSK stuck in the past and giving a lot of anxiety. The only reason I watch their matches these days is for the unbelievable stumpings by Dhoni especially in comparison to how other younger wicketkeepers are doing. Maybe CSK should only play him as a wicketkeeper and replace him with another batter w...

Re: US Stock Market

Horrible delivery report but TSLA is up based on the rumor that Musk is "getting out of dodge" of DOGE! But I doubt this can redeem his reputation and resurrect his sales and the stock.

Re: OTT Series

Watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolescence_(TV_series) - not sure about what they are trying to convey and not sure about the screenplay. I guess since it was filmed in one continuous take, it seemed like a home video at worst and an embedded documentary at best. Need a lot of patience to wat...

Re: Billionaire Rippling founder in divorce trouble

In the US, a large chunk of money is made by lawyers. In most cases, t's probably the largest chunk since even the alimony stops once the recipient gets married again. My friend spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyers and thankfully the ex, remarried in a short time. Maybe the FIRE moveme...

Re: Billionaire Rippling founder in divorce trouble

Not only in men in India. It’s same story with Indian men in US especially if they have assets in India. Even men in US go through similar problem. My ex-boss (white) was living with his wife, 1 kid and a dog in a big 4 bed SFH in South Bay. This was in the 90s. After few years went through a divor...

Re: R2I to Bangalore June 2025

ROTH IRA is not a slam dunk as it seems. The rate of returns is same regardless of whether it's traditional or ROTH IRA. To compensate for the taxes paid in conversion, the breakeven period is around 5-7 years. The taxes are only paid on the amounts withdrawn from T-IRA and it would be lower due to ...

Low volumes - wait and watch approach and not sure when the bottom is going to fall out.

Re: New movies from OTT

Watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidaamuyarchi - needed a lot of Vidamuyarchi (perseverance) to complete the movie. What a disaster and hard to believe Thala Ajith was reportedly paid 110C for this movie. Box office flop in India, maybe it did better in Azerbaijan where it was shot!

Re: Billionaire Rippling founder in divorce trouble

Not even a passing mention of him on Rippling's web site - the guy is stuck having to pay almost 10 C monthly based on tech valuation that can lose 80-90% anytime and won't be able to keep up the payments. Maybe Dhivya wants a lumpsum instead since I believe one-time alimony is not taxed in India! W...
