What does one need to do to ensure my dependent parent is taken care of in case something happens to me?

My father (77) is dependent on me and currently we’re managing. I have begun to wonder what I should do as preparation to have my parent taken care of if I die.

I’m not sure the government of India will do anything, and I’d like to prevent a situation where there are funds but he’s still starving. He no longer knows how the finances are being managed and how the house is being run.

There is no other family in the picture. We currently have a maid and full time caretaker.

It’s not like I’m sick or something, but my anxiety gets the better of me and I wonder about freak accidents. Is this something a Will should help with or are there other things I should do?

Hi, American here, how the hell do I make chicken tikki masala?

I traveled and spent over a month in India (Delhi to be specific).

And I fell in love with the various foods. I always tried every restaurant tali plates if they had one. But there were 3 foods I fell in love with.

1. An aloo type curry.

2. Paneer masala

3. And chicken tikki masala.

I have been trying to make the chicken tikki masala. And the recipes I follow just don't feel like they're authentic. It feels like an American version.

I take the various spices, marinate the chicken in oil/spice blend. I simmer down the onions, oil, and then tomato juice/paste. Once the chicken half cooked or so I mix it all in and let it simmer, add the yogurt and whipping cream. Let simmer some more.

It comes out... Decent for an "American" style chicken tikki masala but it doesn't taste like it did in Delhi.

What am I doing wrong?? Any advice??

I have a property in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, a little before Manali. It's somewhat offbeat, has a private stream running through, a couple apple and plum trees, and can accommodate around 15-20 people at a time. There's also space for setting up tents and all.

It's been vacant for some time now, and I want to put it to some good use. I have hosted several people in the past, and almost everyone suggested me to turn it into an artist's retreat. Now, I do like the idea, but I don't really want to be involved in the process and the property.

How should I proceed, what else can I do with it? I don't even mind leasing it out for a couple of years.

Hello,

Need a recommendation.

One Plus 11R 8GB+128GB at 28k (Direct purchase, effective cost 26,600)

or

One Plus 12R 8GB + 128GB at 40k (will be purchasing using EMI for 2 years)

Which one does the community recommends? I am leaning towards 11R for such a good price.

But the benefit of the 2 year No Cost EMI also makes 12R a great option.

Please help me out with this choice.

[Help Needed] IOB cards not enabling international transactions 'Card is not a NCMC variant'

I wanted to purchase a few games on the recent steam sale but the transaction didn't go through.

Indio flight number change:

Several times in the last one year, I have observed that Indigo changes the flight number of a scheduled flight without changing departure date or time or the route. Sometimes, they even offer a full cancellation or free rescheduling (-2 days to +7 days) for this seemingly trivial change. Have you noticed this as well?

What might be the real reason? Call center people don't have an answer. They only assist with making changes.

Could this be a way of gaming flight performance metrics?

I would really like to do a trek while I’m there, something that’s maybe 2 or 3 nights. I don’t have any proper hiking gear but I have decent Salomon trail running shoes, and a pair of outdoor pants.

What's stopping Indians from recycling?

In Indian culture, there's very a deep sense of not wasting. However a lot of our trash just lies around. Let's take just the cities for now. What's stopping you as an individual from recycling? Is it the lack of knowing who to give the materials to? Is it because of lack of time? Is it an awareness issue?

Need career advice for a friend

Calling on all mortals here! I'm asking for a close friend (Keralite) of mine. Well, she has 8 years gap from her graduation. She graduated from CUSAT with distinction (CSE).
That's not so important. But what's important is a career advice to get started now. I suggested development jobs but the competition is very high and to add salt to the wound, she is a bit behind on the whole data structures and all those details. What could be a possible solution ya'll would suggest? Also suggest some good institutes with courses to roll the dice atleast.
PS: She's good at logical reasoning too

Due to some constraints, i have to live with some family, who live in HSR, and travel to work at Garudacharpalya at 9 a.m. I'm not worried about return because obviously I'll have time, but I'm worried about the morning commute. The fastest I found was rapido or rickshaw to Trinity & then metro. So I'm a bit worried about budget as well as time, as they are strict about timing at my office. Any guidance is deeply appreciated. Thanks!

I'm planning to send a parcel from India to Australia by July 17th. I've decided to use Indian Post as it's cheaper. However, when I inquired at my nearest post office, the employee told me that the maximum weight I can send is 6-7 kgs. This confused me because I read on the Indian Post website that the maximum weight limit is 20 kgs.I need to send about 25 kgs of items. Can anyone clarify if what the post office employee said is true? If the limit is indeed 20 kgs, how can I go about sending my parcel? Should I split it into multiple packages?Additionally, I'm planning to send clothes, shoes, and some utensils.

Are these items allowed, and are there any other restricted items I should be aware of? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Some services do not accept retina scanning and require Aadhar biometric authentication using only fingerprint.

Hi everyone! I’m 30F planning to travel solo to India from Australia for the first time next year. I’m planning on going to Mumbai, Goa, Kolkata, Darjeeling, Varanasi, Lucknow and Delhi. Would welcome any tips or suggestions on things to do and things to avoid :) Much appreciated!

How to break into private wealth management?

22F. I’ve studied economics from a tier 1 college and am now working in a big4 (consulting). Not the worst job but I don’t see myself doing this in the long term. I want to pivot into a better paying career and so far finance seems like my best bet but of course, it’s notorious for the WLB (which is what I’m considering leaving consulting for). I’ve been hearing tidbits about private wealth management and I’m interested in knowing more about it in case someone could tell me their experience/any advice I should know/things to keep in mind/how a typical day is like - anything really!

I think I have the aptitude for it, but it seems too niche of a field for me to know more about it by looking it up online so I’m hoping this reaches some people who have experience or exposure in managing wealth for HNIs and other institutions. Is it worth it? How difficult is it? Thank you so much!

Hello!

I have been traveling throughout India for a couple weeks:

• Bangalore last week.

• Kumarakom for a few days on houseboat.

• now in Munnar!

I’ve been staying at a resort and so far have seen elephants, monkeys and mountain goats. We have also seen the tea plantations, tea museum, waterfalls and great views. I only have one day left and it’s been raining, so I am looking to see some thing if possible that I haven’t already seen any ideas? It’s OK if it’s outside, if it’s unique. I was planning on going to top Station but there is a road closure so I wasn’t able to go today. If I’m able to go tomorrow I will probably go.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

As a sidenote, I will be driving back to Kochi Friday for a flight back to Bangalore and then back to the United States so I’ll have another full day in Bangalore Saturday, so any suggestions? Those are also appreciated if that adds context to this.

Packaged/self planned foreign tours - How to manage cancelation/plan changes? I was checking packaged foreign tours. They don't give any refund on cancellation. Even if I plan it myself, and take tickets, visa etc. month(s) in advance, how to plan for/deal with date changes/cancelation/sickness/unforeseen circumstances? I don't see any airlines refunding any major/proper amount for international tickets cancelation. I know there Is insurance, like sickness/plan cancel insurance etc., but does anybody use them?

Hello all! I’m flying out to Vietnam from Brisbane on the 4th of July for three days, then we’re supposed to fly to Delhi for a couple of weeks on the 8th of July. But for days now I’ve been trying to logon (via the India consulate in a Melbourne) and the site won’t let me go past the first page of the application. When I called the Melb consulate they said it’s not their problem. Has anyone else been having issues with the site? Any ideas how to get my visa? Our flights are paid for,but if we don’t end up flying I don’t mind, it’s only a few hundred dollars and I’m happy to stay in Vietnam and trekking up to Thailand etc.

Need Help

Hi, I am an F1 student in the USA, and I plan to return to my country, India, for vacation. I am planning to bring 2 laptops with me (One which I am using and one for my brother), few of my friends told me that as I am a student, I can bring 2 laptops with me, but I am a bit skeptical about this and thought it'd be better to ask it here.

I have 1 Macbook Pro(personal laptop which I bought in USA), 1 iPad (Personal use bought in USA) and 1 iPhone (bought in India) with me already, and I want to bring 1 more laptop with me (maybe MacBook air for my younger brother).

Is it allowed to bring 2 laptops? Or do I have to pay customs there?

hello.

i am currently looking on buying an iphone 12 64gb variant.

So, the thing is that i dont use the camera and stuff much often . My budget is 32k and the other amount is covered for the ICT ( 18% gst ). I looked up other phones such as Nothing 2 and google pixel 7a but the only reason for me wanting to choose iphone is due to its optimization in genshin impact . Its the only game i play and i really wanted to play it on a mobile. Ofc i dont plan to spending much on a mobile as pc is where my main gaming is on.

So, for a teen who usually uses the phone to call and stuff and might play few games now and then ( genshin etc ).

Is the iphone 12 64gb variant good?

Travelling solo from India to Azerbaijan in November

Hi everyone.

I’m solo travelling to Azerbaijan for a 8 day trip from India. If it matters, I am a woman.

I’m trying to find insights from people who have travelled to Azerbaijan about real destinations, the unnecessary or overrated places, the night life destinations and the budget I should keep in mind.

I want to see a lot of scenic things along with heritage or history related things.

I look forward to your insight and my apologies in case this is too open ended. I’ll add more information if required.

Urgent Release of 2024 College Rankings by NIRF (https://chng.it/7jLcs57vZC)

To: The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF)

We, the concerned stakeholders, express our deep concern over the delay in releasing the college rankings for the year 2024. As individuals invested in the education sector, we believe that timely and transparent information is crucial for students, parents, and educational institutions.

Background:

Since 2016, NIRF has been providing valuable insights through its annual rankings, helping students make informed decisions about their higher education choices.
The expected release date for the 2024 rankings was June 5th, but as of now, there has been no official communication regarding the delay.

Our Concerns:

Transparency: Lack of communication about the delay raises questions about transparency and accountability.
Student Anxiety: Prospective students eagerly await these rankings to make informed decisions about college admissions.
Institutional Impact: Educational institutions rely on these rankings for benchmarking and continuous improvement.

Our Request:

Immediate Communication: We urge NIRF to promptly communicate the reasons behind the delay and provide a revised release date.
Regular Updates: Regular updates on the progress would alleviate anxiety and maintain trust in the ranking process.
Stakeholder Engagement: Involve stakeholders in discussions to enhance transparency and address concerns.

Conclusion:

We believe that NIRF plays a pivotal role in shaping the educational landscape of our country. By releasing the rankings without further delay, NIRF can uphold its commitment to excellence and transparency.

Signatories:
Future of India

So, I am a Masters Student, and just bought an iPad, majorly for work, but also for personal stuff. I am used to JBL wired headphones to use with my phone or laptop, but now I need to get wireless headphones for this iPad. Now I am not an audiophile or anything, but I do not like using earpods, or the sound quality of headphones from companies like boat.

Now I also suspect that I am on the spectrum, but noise cancellation is not a priority for me, though i do use earphones to tune out bg noise. Comfort and aound quality should be good.

I would love some suggestions for over the ear headphones in the budget of 3k-5k, if possible.

I have a friend in Delhi but I'll be by myself most of the time, do you have any tips for solo travelling to India?

I know it's probably the worst season to travel there, is there some area where I could have better weather conditions?

I kind of dislike big cities and I always look for more rural areas (I want to avoid Goa), is there some place you would recomend me to go?

I have MANY days there with a lot of spare time, any activity you think I could enjoy? I kind of like inmersive stuff like cooking classes but I don't know where I could book those

Thanks :-)

I belong to a fairly prosperous family. My brother is trying to do betting (cricket matches) on an app called STAKE. I am strongly against this and insist that he shouldn't waste his time and my parents money on gambling. He asked my father and mother and they approved his plea as long as he doesn't bet more than 500 rs.
Now 500rs is a decently big amount for a young teenager like me and I think he shouldn't gamble with it and even I could put the money to better use. He hasn't done any betting yet, but will do it soon. This was an incident of 2-3weeks ago, now he will bet on the next match.
I didn't post it or ask anyone's opinion because I though if my parents had approved it there was nothing I could do. I still can't do anything but I want to get this thing of my mind, all in all I want to know if I am wrong here?

Hey guys, I just need an opinion on a situation. Do u guys think it is a scam? I am selling my phone and the buyer says he will Pay 80% in cash and the rest by CHEQUE But I asked him To pay online to which he replied his online banking is not working and then I told him to withdraw cash and give me to which he told he can’t since it is his company account . Do u guys think I might be scammed after selling the phone that I can’t cash out the cheque

Good/Bad interactions etc

With recent exam leak frequency increase and today's exam postponement, a question coming to my mind, and that is, is there any insurance scheme that covers these mentioned above, like travelling, living expense, and even plans that could cover money you spent in preparation in past year, and if not what IRDA rules stop it from happening, will it ever become reality?

IMO, the idea itself has lot of potential with exams happening everyday

I am looking for masters in data science or any related field (data analytics/business analytics), my options so far are:

1. VIT vellore but here i am getting Msc Business Statistics (Somewhat related to data science but not my preference) placements are good but Ill have to compete with Msc DS students/B.tech students and i feel that might be a changeling since my course is less prestigious than theirs

2. Chandigarh University here i am getting MSc data science, but i have heard the placements are not as good as VIT

3. Symbiosis Skills and professional university, here i am also getting Msc data science, honestly I dont know much about the college all I know is that it is relatively new and separate from the Main Symbiosis campus.

I Did my undergrad in Data science, but worked in a low paying not IT role now i feel I need to do masters to get a better position, there is an option for taking a drop year and maybe giving some entrance tests too if all the options i have a terrible.

What would be an ideal monthly income at age 25 to be in the top 1% of Indians?

Best airlines in India for pressure sensitive folks?

I underwent Pleurodesis for both my lungs post Pneumothorax back in 2014 (right) and 2019 (left). I am a competitive cyclist, and have been so for the past 3-4 years, I also have been exercising regularly without any issues.

I was recommended against flying during my discharge, and ever since, I've only used trains/buses to get around. But the current situation calls for saving time since the distances are huge. Which means, going air borne is need of the hour.

I would like to know the airlines that can maintain the cabin pressure very well, i.e., minimum difference between ground level pressure and in-flight altitude level pressure.

Hi all, need some advice on planning a trip with parents in fall.

Parents are 60+. I'll be flying in from San Francisco directly (or I may accompany them from New Delhi).

Both can be assumed as stereotypical Indian parents, not too adventurous to try different cuisines etc. Mom wants to go on a cruise and maybe visit another country.

I want to give them a good time of their life, without involving too much walking/waiting.

Suggestions welcomed for:

1. Hotels (and neighborhoods)

2. Things to do in Singapore

3. Restaurants/places to go eat (they can eat chicken)

4. Cruise situation, will it be too much to spend .. maybe 3/4 days in Singapore, and then 3/4 days on cruise, then back to Singapore and home?

Thanks all!

Hey all! Hope everyone's having a fantastic day.

My sister's Bday is coming soon and I have decided to gift her a new phone. She has been using an iphone for quite sometime now.

Currently she has an Iphone 12 before that she was also rocking an iphone. Now, during her apple phase, she got herself a macbook pro as well and both of them worked flawless (macbook and iphone).

Now, she has upgraded to a windows laptop and is facing some issues syncing etc. So I have been talking to my sister about her phone and she has expressed her interest in samsung/android phones as well.

Now please help me decide which phone to get her, i have 3 deals below:

Iphone 15 128GB: 63k

Samsung 24 256GB: 60k (exynos)

Samsung 24+ 256GB: 65k (exynos)

I have mentioned exynos cuz I hate what samsung has been doing here. Not sd for the rest of the world.

Hello, I am looking for travel advice. I want to go to either Leh or Srinagar end of August. I know they are difficult to compare and I would love to visit both but I have only limited time. There are travel warnings for Srinagar. I don’t think it would be very unsafe, but maybe someone has insights on how it is to be there as a tourist right now? Also what would you recommend in general, also for the season. I am a European female travelling with her partner and grateful for any advice 🥰

Are Non-IITians destined to fail in life as they didn't get through JEE/NEET. This is because society always tells us ki'If you don't crack these exams, your life is worthless and you won't be able to do anything in life. I am asking this question because I have seen thousands of students ending their lives after failing these exams and hence even I get thoughts of ending my life.

I'm landing next Friday in Mumbai.

It seems like there is a heavy rain forecast for the next Friday. I land around 5:30AM and have a train at 12:30. Given the rain, will it be sufficient time to catch my train if I take Uber/Ola and is it safe to take them?

Thanks!

Does anyone have insight to Nihal/Nihali people? I’m adopted from Maharashtra and know nothing of my biological family. I found my haplogroup through a 23&me test. My group has only been found in a small percentage of Nihali people. This is the first confirmation of my ancestry to me. When trying to learn more about the people/area I’ve only found a couple things on google that don’t give much information.

As a freelancer, the bank is refusing me a home loan. Do I have a way out here? Full information below ⬇️

90% of my income comes from the US. I am a freelance content writer. I am making roughly 1.5L/month. The bank says only TDS-related transactions will count toward the computation for the home loan. The 10% of my income that does have TDS deductions from clients comes from one-off work within India mainly for design projects, which is not significant and just based on that the bank cannot give any loan, which is reasonable.

Now, as I am working as a freelancer for US clients directly, the payments are received in my bank account through PayPal, so there's no TDS that they can deduct for these payments. Most likely, there's no way for me to even coerce these payments and make them eligible for TDS (afaik; so do correct me if I'm wrong). These are simple orders received over email, and payments made twice a month or so, very cash-type business. And all this income is being filed as exactly that, "cash" income, by the bank, which is not relevant for my home loan computation.

My CA who's been helping me with legal things, ITR filing, etc. has no solution for me. My bank representative also has no solution for me. Basically, my whole career that I've built as a proud freelancer over the last 10 years (not a proper career or business per se, I know) is useless. I can't suddenly join a 9-to-5 job and wait 5 years for my salary to be on a similar level and then get a home, it's insane. If I save 20% of my income every month, that's roughly 30,000. I was looking for an independent home in 35L (had already seen some projects). That will take me 116 months or 9.5 years to save up enough to buy in cash, but by that time the 35L would be much higher thanks to inflation.

Any way out for a freelancer like me? Any alternatives or options? Any advice from someone who has some knowledge in this?
