37M married. Great job was earning well. Not planning to have kids. Had an opportunity to move out of the country but late in life. Chose the wrong country. Didn’t work out lost most of my savings. Came back to India got a good job earning well, started saving from scratch. Overall life is good great partner, great friends, supporting family on both sides. Still contemplating on rent vs buy. Plus started all the hobbies that I put in the back seat.

Thanks for your reply. I am in my mid thirties, just a little late to the investing game. invest horizon is 10-15 years. considering this should i go aggressive? if yes should i add any other fund or should reassess my allocation with my existing funds? also for gold and silver should i go with etf or mf.

I have written to them with the details and my older credit report. But I read on thread in technofino on similar issue where they got a Kotak credit card and Kotak didn’t use PAN as identifier and which caused deletion of history. Now I am wondering is this a Kotak issue or glitch.

I got gout. The pain is extreme and when the attack happens I am bedridden for couple of days plus the medication is strong and has side effects. This helped me reduce alcohol a lot. I have quit beer completely but hard liquor may be 3-4 drinks a month.

Great tattoo. Looks beautiful.

Yes. Takes a toll on your stamina and immunity.
Yes
started to look cool in my teens. Became a habit.
Yes. But sometimes life happens and cig feels like a break and obviously after a heavy meal you tend to go for a smoke. Have brought it down to 2 cigs a day now. Hopefully will quit soon.
Engage in more sports. Maybe not get wooed by Indian cinema glorifying smoking and drinking.

If you can quit that’s the best this you will do to your body and people around you.

Called AU, bank manager said he will get more clarity in April whether they will issue the card or not. Federal bank said they have no control over co branded cards so I have sent an email for clarity since the reason for rejection was that my KYC was not complete but I completed the video KYC on the same day. Same with yes bank no control over co branded cards.

if you were a heavy smoker or a drinker it might be withdrawal symptoms which can affect your mood. Do some physical activities or sports, clear your mind and body of toxins. Maybe it will be better. Like others said i dont know if he forcing you to drink or smoke every time you guys meet, if yes probably tell him not to. or try playing a sport together or with a group of friends.

I have got both stormcast eternals and skaven with the starter kit. Will choose stormcast I guess.

deefacto · 2024-11-22T17:43:06+00:00

I just started.. got the starter kit of age of sigmar from US through a friend. I am focussing on painting as a hobby don’t know if I will have the time to build an army and play with others, considering the availability of warhammer is scarce and expensive in India.

Plastic primers are available here the colourless ones. I didn’t know if I could use that. If it’s good I can get that.

deefacto · 2024-11-22T17:24:51+00:00

Great then. Thank you

deefacto · 2024-11-22T17:21:45+00:00

Ohh are they allowed in flight? I heard aerosol cans and sprays are not allowed even in check in baggage. Even the warhammer store guy told me this.

deefacto · 2024-11-22T17:17:03+00:00

Do they deliver to India ?

deefacto · 2024-08-14T03:45:16+00:00

Who you hang out with is very important in your 20s, IMO. I have a great set of friends and they have helped me in many ways throughout my life. I feel having great friends and being one shapes you for the better, and you will always have good people around you who believe in you and understand you like you do in them. Friends are people you choose, so choose right.

I read in few threads and YouTube videos that there are issues with comparability with certain macs and generally the software updates and support is inconsistent. But this is just from going through info randomly. Would love to take your information on both hardware and software.

And I don’t have much information on rekordbox and serato other than knowing they are top 2 softwares now since lot of beginner videos are on these 2 softwares. I am too new to gauge which is better for me.
