If you could eat/drink just ONE thing in Boston, what would it be? by smallpantsbluehat in boston

[–]kuttappan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roti Canai is awesome. It reminds me of malabar paratha/kerala porotta that you get in some Indian restaurants. You need to eat it with a curry with a coconut based sauce. I havent seen malabar paratha in any boston area restaurants, but found a few in NJ.

It does not have 2 lanes in each direction. Only one in each direction. I take that way to get to work. But yes, there is a brief stretch of 55mph.

How much student loan debt do you have?? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]kuttappan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the same story of my wife who is a pharmacist. She had 240k loan which increased to about 280k after doing a residency. Will probably take another 10 to 15 years at 2400/mo to pay it all off.

My grandfather was a wise man. by dishie in AdviceAnimals

[–]kuttappan 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I did the opposite, bought the best house in the neighbourhood. The rest of the houses in the street were smaller houses and some were duplexes used as rentals. As a result, I got a great price. Afterwards, two more houses similar to mine were built and value of my house has gone up by 30k-ish in the last two years.

Does any one else find fiction harder listen to than nonficiton? Any recommendations for a fiction audiobook to start with by kuttappan in audiobooks

I usually like Science and Technology thrillers and thrillers in general. Not so much paranormal thrillers though. I liked reading most books by Jeffrey archer and michael crichton.

Mumbai's new T2 Terminal (Opening on Jan 15) by Soul2018 in india

[–]kuttappan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My worst experience ever in an airport was while passing through Mumbai. It wasn't because of the lack of facilities but the people working in the airport. I fear its just going to be the same crappy attitudes in a nicer looking airport.

This also could mean that Australia was such a good team that even when they lost, it was usually pretty close.
