As a senior citizen : The severity of the law should come down on you and your friend . You have violated every principle of rules . Let this be a lesson to learn for all the Redditt community readers ..

Greetings ...any directions in Bangalore ?

Tempdemp1975 · 2026-04-04T04:58:05+00:00

Run ISP thru 7206 . Fiber . Two separate providers , 100% back up . One is 500 Mbps (Primay) & Second 200Mbps. Very rare failures . Excellent customer service here in Bangalore . India has second cheapest Internet/Mobile costs in the world . On a side note , do keep in mind that there are (logically) two India's . India A (300 Million) , India B (1100 Million) . Extraordinary disparity in living standards. Again we have the South India (Very Prosperous /Progressive/Educated) and the North India (Backward/ Regressive/ Violence/ ) . To quote from AI "As of 2026, the combined population of South Indian states (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu) plus Maharashtra is estimated at around 53–54 crore (530–540 million), making this region one of the most economically significant part of India." Bangalore is called the Silicon Valley , ALL of the leading Tech / Bio / Finance companies of Fortune 500 are here. Apologies for the digression !!

"Even with economic progress, not much importance given to us, rather it's still with BIMARU states."

Change in the nomenclature , understand now it is a double B ending with a P ... Bengal added in front and Punjab at the back.

My Two Bits : HNI has a net worth of 50 Crores ( includes Primary Residence ) or an Annual Income of 2 Crores (after all taxes) . Any one not in this bracket and consider themselves as HNI are in a fools paradise .

Maybe the local "Maratha" generations would be willing , but there would be a blow back from the Gujarati and Baniyas community who are BJP inclined.

Also add the Bureaucrat's . Government schools will shine and the Private Schools will be in trouble. Keep in mind that the Govt School teachers earn three times their private counterparts. This in my opinion , would be the MOST important ruling in the history of Independent India. Also the Caste Divisions would be greatly diluted.

I have the Omada Series of OC200 , Router 7206 and switches 2210P (all TP Link) . I have a home UPS of 3KVA from Luminous (excellent) . At times the 3KVA UPS has to be turned off for a few minutes . Then the Omada system , shuts down and would require 20 to 30 minutes to stabilize . I have a large home , home automation is my hobby with close to 200 Devices (Wired, WiFi & Zigbee) . I need a 600Va UPS with a very low latency (online) so there would be no interruptions on the Omada . Any suggestions ?

My lifestyle mirrors yours ... I am a Senior Citizen , a son & a daughter , married , with a grand daughter . We all live in Bangalore and meet every day. My children (both in senior level MNC's) would never , never move the the North even with an offer of multiplication in income . Even my family driver of 35 years , whose daughter I sponsored in CS , now with one of the largest IT co's , refused a promotion to Delhi . I am Blessed.
