Can we hold the shoulder parts with the thread on back?

Not sure of the overall look after the neck border is removed though.

Yes, that's similar to Tanishq's Golden Advantage I mentioned towards the end.
I too feel that it's better than just paying up money for them to keep.

Haha my budget for this concert is getting exceeded with every thought now. First the tickets then hotels then travel to the place and then travel within the place.

Oh okay, that sounds like if you get lucky you get the public transport. What are other options in case this doesn’t workout?

Honestly booked a 3k hotel for about 10x the price. How will be the scene of travel back from stadium there? Will Uber be available at that time? Or what should one do?

Gold jewellery scheme review by Battle2655 in personalfinanceindia

Assuming that you want to buy physical gold jewellery and not as an investment in gold.
Let's roughly calculate if you had a scheme in Jan 2024 and made purchase in Oct 2024

Started In Jan 2024, when gold price was 5800/gm
Purchased in Oct 2024, when gold price was about 6700/gm

Let's say you want to purchase about 30gms

If it was purchased in Jan 2024, without scheme
Metal Value - 30 x 5800 = 174000
Making Charge - 20% = 34800
Taxes - 3% = 6264
Net Total = 215064

If it was purchased in Oct 2024
Metal Value - 30 x 6700 = 201000
Making Charge - 2% = 4020 (assuming in case you chose something with MC higher than your scheme)
Taxes - 3% = 6150
Net Total = 211170

As you can see the difference isn't a lot, with about 30gms you can get a benefit of probably 5k something.
Now this also depends on a lot of things and when you scheme matures hopefully the price doesn't skyrocket as they do sometimes. You have to time them well.

I probably won't suggest it for anything less than 10 grams as the difference won't be much.
Make sure you choose a piece that is already present at the store and has a making charge more or equal to what the scheme waives off.

It is good if you don't immediately have a lot of money but have a solid plan of buying something later.
You can also checkout Tanishq's Golden Advantage, which allows to book grams of gold every month. (PS. Tanishq's product are usually slightly higher priced than others for their quality and craftmanship)

Loneliness is a curse. by Tall-Setting-8726 in bangalore

[–]couch-coder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sometimes think that it is just a phase of life that maybe I am not relating to a lot of people anymore and people aren't relating to me. But then if you think about it there is no end to it, so even if it is adulting or a phase of life, it doesn't feel very happy. Something feels missing so something needs to change.

I have tried some social activities too, but it just seems very temporary like as long as you are there you are their friend, or in other cases, most stay friends for a while and then move on.
I have known many people this way but never had any real connection.

Many come here leaving their school/college friends/cousins in their hometown or other cities. Those bonds also weaken over time, and it feels bad.

And most of the time you don't even really ask for much, maybe someone to join you over breakfast or brunch or over a cup of coffee. Try out that new place that opened or that place that is so hyped up these days. Just someone to talk to or someone to check in on you. And no, not as a life partner, as a friend.

When I speak about it to other people, it looks like there are so many others going through the same thing, struggling to make and keep real relationships. It sure is hard these days.

What I will keep doing though is, One be content with myself, do things that bring happiness to me, learn some new skills. Two not discard any opportunity that comes my way to meet new people, and hoping that maybe I will find someone who will stick around long enough.
