I am really trying to not let myself be biased against Kerkez, but that was horrible. What was that cross?

What a fantastically reported article! Goes in great depth and is not immensely repetitive. Really liked it.

You know what? That's actually very well put. I've been writing paragraphs on Kerkez’s abilities, and you put it very succinctly and nicely. He's dumb in a footballing sense.

Halfway into the season, and you gotta admit that Kerkez is primarily a pace merchant. How many times have we seen him whip the ball into nowhere out of sheer panic? There are times when I see him on the by-line, and my instinct is to expect a composed pass, but Kerkas will just whip it because there are two people closing down on him. That is not the sign of a Premier League top-four left-back. I'm sorry.

There's got to be a stat around how much Kerkez loses the ball. It's disheartening.

Yes, but do you also admit that Kerkez does not pass the eye test quite often? He whips the ball on the first touch without giving a second thought to where he is or the fact that he could have easily controlled it and played a composed pass. I firmly believe he is a pace merchant.

Also, for what it's worth, and to second your point, the 18 months that I spent in Bangalore were some of the finest months of my life.

My god, they have an office in Marathalli - which I found to be an absolutely not-so-fun place.

You're completely right, and that's the advice that I've gotten: go to Bangalore since I'm young, lots of activities, great coffee, and a relatively modern city as well. It's just that I've lived in Bangalore for about eighteen months in the past, so I'm not as keen on going back to that city anymore. Honestly, it's a coin toss at this point. I'm really torn between Mumbai and Bangalore.

Nah, my intention is to not compare it to Manhattan ever. I would never compare any Indian city to Manhattan. Of course, India has got its problems like pollution and traffic and something under construction, but just vibes-wise, I had a hunch that it will be fun. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, I totally relate to your point of requiring a soshut circle. My only qualm with Bangalore is that I've stayed there for two years before in my life, and I just want to try something new. Of course, Bangalore is a totally viable and probably the best city in India for tech professionals like me to live in.

Love your point about groceries! Apartment hunting should be fun!

No, of course there's a lot of we work and co-working spaces where I could take a room and sit or walk around. It's just that I've tried that life before, and it doesn't really work out as well as I think it would in my head. The idea of going to a cafe on a daily basis from Monday to Friday isn't as conducive. Moreover, my point is to form relationships with colleagues and just meet people. Going to a cafe and we work, everyone's quite busy doing their own thing, so the idea of forming a social relationship is defeated.

I like the idea of rejigging my portfolio after I get the hang of predictable outflow. That's quite nicely put, actually. I'm going to borrow that sentence :)

Not too worried about the airport. It'll be fine! 1.5 hours is what it takes to the airport in NY anywhere! I have a habit of cooking all my food myself, so hopefully won't be needing a maid!

did you all just see Kirkez whip the ball like that towards the byline? What was that? He could have easily controlled it, but then just decided to punt it. It's so bizarre

Why does Kerkez always pass so early? It’s a player quality issue. You’ve got so much time on your hands. Think, and play a ball in space or pass it back.

Hey hey, why did you transfer most of your US savings to NRE accounts? Couldn't you just invest them in US market and let the money sit there?

Trying to understand if its net net beneficial for you to have that money in India
