Yes, indeed, I joined the old forum around 2015 when I was 35 years old and at that time I wanted to choose the sillest ID and that time I was into bikes and specifically researching about chain spray and wd40 for cleaning the bike chain. That's how I chose it :) I always used to get confused with ...

In Tamil homes a widow has to shave her head, wear white sari covering her bald head and cannot wear bindi or jewelleries. Usually required to stay out of sight when some auspicious event happens in the house. This was pre-1980s. A sumangali need not go through all this depressing act, so it is con...

May be because of OS2ji, he is staying away from registering here? :) Didn’t OS2ji say all his US friends are abandoning him :) ? j/k OS2ji, take it easy :lol: May be they are jealous we are going back and they are stuck in US. I don't know. I showed them few months earlier how I am going to enjoy ...

I would even personally go to Boca Raton with "vethala paaku thattu" (A Vethala Pakku Thattu is an offering tray that symbolizes abundance, prosperity, and love) if only he had shown any interest to those that worked with him to revive the old site! May be because of OS2ji, he is staying ...

I wonder if anyone can reach out to some of the old contributors to the erstwhile site. People like Koipond, layman and even FireIndia :D I would add Boca and peaceenjoy as well. I guess Boca is not interested since he has not joined, even though I guess he knows about this site as he was in commun...

@wd40, I dont think that is what RBee is stating. Being in the US East Coast for a few decades, I concur with RBee that Indians have a lot of interests outside of money goals (Scotch Clubs, Hiking, Skiing, Books, Music, Volunteering etc.) Several of my friends have gone through tough times - midnli...

My personal view, from R2I perspective is that when we move abroad, it is like taking a diversion or short cut from the highway. The highway is our life in India. The whole aim of the short cut or diversion is to make some quick gains and then merge back smoothly on to the highway, without being to...

Not sure what's the 'best' of the other world especially if you're an NRI in your 50s. Super senior relatives in 80s and 90s, their disgruntled and diseased adult children having extreme RE disputes with their siblings and their children with their spouses that invariably work in IT and sleep durin...
