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. Musk may get out of DOGE, but will he get out of Trump's orbit is the question. As long as he keeps ins...

Re: Puerto Rico vacation

What did Bhutan do to be on the red list along with Iran, Syria and Pakistan? Did one of those Elon's 19 year old staffer prepare the list and added the peaceful Buddhist nation by mistake?

Re: US Stock Market

It is amusing to see the interesting situation Musk has gotten himself into...the product he makes (electric cars) are hated by the MAGA crowd as they are mostly fans of gas guzzling 'manly' cars, SUVs and pickup trucks from Detroit. The people who loves electric cars (liberals) hates musk passionat...

Re: Driving (Highways)

Most deaths in India are pedestrians, who are walking on streets without any care in the world. It is not the fault of the pedestrians, more than 90% of the roads (at least here in Bangalore) does not have footpath leaving the pedestrians no choice but to walk on the road. It is so appalling to see...

Re: Indians being deported from the US

There is a huge hue and cry here in India about the way the Illegal immigrants from India were treated when they were deported (put in shackles, treated like criminals). Main stream and social media is full of this news and there is a lot of outrage. I see a clear double standard here. You see a num...

Re: Post retirement life in India

I have decided to live/retire in the US unless and until I am kicked out and the India visits would be infrequent in the future as well. Completely understandable. I think most people who lived in the US as long as you have would do the same. I came back to India after living in the US after less t...

Re: Post retirement life in India

I see India as the next Guyana with higher COL than the US I think it is a bit exaggerated. If the COL in India becomes higher than the US most people in India will die of starvation! The COL, the prices of basic necessities are much lower here compared to US. My elderly parents live in our ancestr...

Re: US AI industry

Deepsake developers showed it is possible to do what ChatGPT, Gemini and other bots does using far fewer computing resources. While ChatGPT uses 16,000 latest version GPUs from Nvidia, Deepsake could train their bot using 2000 GPUs and that too less powerful older version ones. This will force OpenA...

Re: India Bashing

I can't take this chaos and cacophony anymore and counting down the days to go back home :) May not visit in the future unless there is an occasion that I can 't miss. Very sad to feel this way, maybe my patience is running out with age. I always felt that those who visit India on vacation will hav...

Re: India Bashing

It took 7.5 hours to travel 350 Kms distance between Chennai and Bangalore twice this week. Next time when you visit India you should be able to do this journey in around 3 hours. A brand new expressway is coming up connecting Bangalore and Chennai at a cost of around 2.5B USD and will be operation...
