Re: Cricket

Who is following whom? The men's team seems to win when the women's team wins. Today the India-W beat SA-W in T20 and India beat SA in ODI. Three days back both lost. Anyway congrats to both the teams.

Re: Nukkad

Goa used to be very clean. Even after heavy down pours we never had floods. Things have changed. Too many people now. Hindu Temples in Goa are in the interior. They were put there to escape the Portuguese. My ancestors lived in the Goa region and when the Portuguese came, they took their temple stu...

Who is Ramachandra Guha (another Kohli basher)? What is his background in cricket? Is he the same guy who got tarred by SS?

Re: Nukkad

Track was switched manually to wrong track, but why? Positive train control was not in operation. Signal system was down and so it is being operated manually. Looks like human error.

Liquid oxygen? Something is fishy. Can you really liquefy Oxygen and put it in a cylinder? Its critical temperature is -118 C.

I landed in Vadadora yesterday and oh God what I would do for bottle of beer. To get a liquor permit the many hoops you have to jump through is mind boggling. I tried to get a so called ePermit but gave up in the middle when I realized it is not worth the paper it is printed on as you have to take t...

Re: Travel Diaries

Yesterday I landed at Delhi. I goto the Immigration desk and he asks for the 'form'. What form I say. Immigration form he says. Where is it? There, he points to some table. I go there, no form. I search three more tables (no one there to help) and finally finds it. Short form, fill it and we are thr...

Re: Travel Diaries

I found the interactive layout of the Terminal 3 of the Delhi Airport. It is like: Immigration --> Duty Free Shops --> Baggage Carousels --> Customs. So I guess I can buy the liquor bottles and put them in the check in baggage before I reach customs and then hand them over to domestic airline to be ...

Re: Travel Diaries

Few years ago I had similar itinerary. At that time I remember the domestic airline picked up our baggage and rebooked it to HYD. This time too I expect it be the same. This is what I think will happen. I will pick up the baggage at Delhi and walk it through the customs. And then someone from AI wil...

Today is Dec 21, 2017. Was not there a PROPHECY that earth will be shaked and all of us will deathed before the end of the year? I have ten days to go. My advice to everyone -- finish off everything on your bucket list. You never know, these prophecies could come true.

Re: Nukkad

I see this biting families more in the $150K-$200K AGI that have children who are over 17. The AMT threshold for individuals and family has been raised to $500K and $1M respectively. Originally $120,700 and $160,900. The surtax on medicare of 1.45% will remain. A lot of other exemptions go away suc...

Re: Nukkad

In CA prop taxes are around 1.1%. So a family with two kids and a million dollar house with a 750k (30k interest @4%) mortgage making 400k (two income) will have around 25k in state taxes. Now they can deduct 65k. With this new act they will be limited to 40K. Definitely lose out. About doubling of ...

Javee, Thanks, but we had to drop our plans to Sri Lanka this time around. But will be visiting Ajanta, Ellora and Hampi. May be next time. We will be landing in Delhi and flying to HYD (ticket is a through ticket to HYD from the USA). I presume our Immigration and Customs will be done at Delhi. If ...
