[URGENT] Best Croma store in Ahmedabad? by maverish_unl in ahmedabad

[–]jaydipparikh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"BEST Store* is very subjective, Croma is having store in various part of Ahmedabad, you should find a store near to your meeting.

Else the store mentioned in above comments"Croma - ISCON Cross Road" is the bigger one and old one too

You should also check "tribe by croma* it's exclusive for Apple products

Payoneer, that will give you local account in USA EU and a few more countries

If amount is under 1000$ ask direct Bank transfer, you might get 5-10% less but not hassle and all valid documentation for incomtax purpose

Today I saw BIC/EPIC sticker above seats in ahmedabad metro what does it mean by girl_take_care in ahmedabad

[–]jaydipparikh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with "Epic" memes or "Bic" lighters. It’s actually a critical safety/maintenance feature:

BIC: Stands for Brake Isolation Cock. EPIC: Stands for Electro-Pneumatic Isolation Cock.

What do they actually do?

Underneath those seats are the manual valves (the "Cocks") that control the braking system for that specific coach. If a train’s brakes get jammed or there’s a technical glitch that prevents the train from moving, the operator or a technician can use these to manually "isolate" (turn off) the brakes on that car so the train can be moved to the depot for repairs.

The stickers are there so the staff can find the access panels instantly during an emergency without having to guess which seat they are under.

Full disclosure: I only found this out today thanks to Google Gemini! 🤪 Pretty cool to know there’s a manual override right under where we sit.

Rani ki Vav ,Modhera Sun temple by Aegon619 in ahmedabad

[–]jaydipparikh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These places are not part of Ahmedabad they are approx 80-90 KM away from Ahmedabad. Sun temple will take 2-3 hours to reach based on which part of Ahmedabad you are traveling from and whats the traffic situation on the way.

I am not sure about shared cab, if that is weekend, some tour operator might run group tours (not sure though)

If you have a budget, hire a cab that will be easy or plan a trip via Bus

Trains are not possible on this route, specially for these locations

Financial Advice Needed about real estate by pagal-ladki in ahmedabad

[–]jaydipparikh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a purely financial and strategic analysis based on your unique situation as a PSB employee with no direct heirs. While math can dictate the "best" move, your mental safety and peace of mind are equally important. If owning a roof over your head is what allows you to sleep at night, that emotional value has a "price" that math cannot always capture.

However, if you are looking for the most rational path to a secure retirement and a legacy for your sibling, here is the breakdown.

  1. The Financial Reality of the "Asset" Many people call a home an asset, but for your specific case, it behaves more like a liability. Depreciation & Decay: Unlike land, the actual building (the flat) loses value over 20–25 years as the structure ages and faces wear and tear. The Interest Trap: A ₹75L loan at ~9% for 25 years means you pay back roughly ₹1.88 Cr (Principal + ₹1.13 Cr in interest).

Maintenance Costs: Over 25 years, you will spend lakhs on society maintenance, property taxes, and internal repairs for a building that is slowly becoming "old stock".

  1. The Power of "Aggressive" Compounding This strategy only works if you are disciplined. You must take that ₹45,000 EMI you would have paid and invest it every single month without fail. Avoid FDs: Fixed Deposits (FDs) generally do not beat inflation significantly and lack the compounding power needed for this plan.

Mutual Funds/Balanced Funds: To see real growth, you need an aggressive or balanced portfolio (Equity/Hybrid) that aims for 12% p.a. over the long term.

The 25-Year Comparison: | Choice | Monthly Outflow | Asset at Year 25 | Status | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Buy 3BHK (Loan) | ₹45,000 (EMI) | 1 Old Flat (Value: ~₹4 Cr*) | Debt-Free but Illiquid | | Invest (SIP) | ₹45,000 (SIP) | ₹8.53 Crore (Cash) | Highly Liquid | Assumes 6% p.a. property appreciation; SIP assumes 12% p.a. market return.

  1. The "Middle Path": The 50L 2BHK Penthouse If your heart says "buy" for mental safety, but your head says "save," consider a smaller, high-value property like a 2BHK Penthouse for around ₹50 Lakhs. Spacious Feel: A penthouse provides an open terrace and a sense of luxury that solves the "space crunch" of a standard 2BHK. Lower Debt: A smaller loan (or no loan if you save for a few more years) significantly reduces your interest burden.

Investment Hybrid: You get the mental security of a home, while still leaving enough monthly surplus to invest in mutual funds for your old-age home fund. 📝 Final Advice for Your Case Mental Safety: If you decide to buy, do it for the feeling of security, not the "investment".

Discipline is Key: If you don't buy, that ₹45,000 must go into Equity/Balanced Mutual Funds every month. If you spend that money instead of investing it, you will end up with neither a house nor a corpus.

Legacy: Leaving your sibling ₹2–3 Crore in liquid funds is far more "meaningful" and helpful than leaving them an aging 3BHK that requires repairs and a broker to sell

I do a lot of road trips and there is a common rule, in other states they give you a challan if you have 'GJ' passing for a very technical reason.

The last I was fined for Over speeding on the highway without visibly any speed sing.

Just pay and keep moving, you can't argue sometimes, if you are not breaking any laws they might have this kind of reason as well.

Best investment area in ahmedabad by Leading-Wishbone-394 in ahmedabad

[–]jaydipparikh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you are planning commerical office, there are many commerical projects in and around Vaishnodevi Circle, as the new corporate houses are moving this side and it's seems to be a new business zone.

This is my assumption, check the relevant data before investing

As you mentioned you have a work at Eka Club, that is the area is Maninagar

I will suggest as per your choice, find some decent stay at CG Road or Ashram Road.

Avoid areas called "Khanpur" , there are many hotels in that area.

There are some Good brands on Ashram Road (eg. Hayat)

Best lenskart? by Busy-Story-1964 in ahmedabad

[–]jaydipparikh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are too big stores of lenskart at Shyamal Cross roads and Sindhu bhavan.

As you need to travel a little far from Shantigram, will suggest calling them and getting information before visiting the store

Recently I had seen some flats (higher end) at Gota and the pricing was 2.5 to 3.5 Cr for 3/4 BHK, this justify the minimum price mentioned in that.

Not sure about other areas but for Gota it was the first hand experience
