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

None of the travel insurance plans especially those meant for the US are worth it. There is a 10% penalty for late Medicare signups. So, the Medicare premiums will cost twice as much if you need it for some reason after, say 10 years! If you don't take it, LIA retirees like me will benefit :) One o...

Re: R2I to Bangalore June 2025

Quite resonate with this!. I am hearing from many USCs that they see themselves living in the US during the retirement than in India. If one does not have good connection with friends and extended family in India, there is a very little motivation to go to India other than vacation. It's a very con...

Re: Puerto Rico vacation

Be careful in PR. With economic downturn people may look to rob rich retired Indian-Americans.

Re: US Stock Market

In 70s and 80s West pushed globalization to developing countries hoping to expand the market for their goods. They thought they will hold tech dominance, produce and sell goods to Third World. They did not expect Asian Tigers to ramp up their educational levels, become innovative and beat them in te...

Re: New movies from OTT

Kangana and film makers took some liberty with the fact to look good in the movie. 1. LKA and ABV were in jail in Bangalore during Emergency, not in Tihar. 2. JPN was admitted/jailed in PGI, Chandigarh and later moved at end of 1975 when his health deterioted. He spent rest of Emergency period in Ja...

Re: New movies from OTT

Watched Emergency on Netflix. Movie looked like a documentary on IG's life with focus on Emergency. It is ok timepass to watch. I felt Kangana overacted in some scenes. Since I lived through the event it was a nostalgia. Those days did not know the impact of curb on freedom. I was happy DTC buses ra...

Re: To Bee or not to Bee; RBee's buzzes

Can wounds heal at all? Or the scars remain forever even after decades? Remembering my MIL on an unrelated post/chat with my mom reopened some of my wounds. She passed away suddenly in 2014 after suffering from some disease; diabetes was identified as root cause for the cardiac arrest.I had forgive...
