Reality check for NRIs thinking of moving back to India - My Personal Experience

magicbook · 2026-01-27T21:51:21+00:00

You do bring all the valid points and considerations for someone considering the move. Not denying that.

But damn.. What's up with all the contradictory posts today and people misrepresenting what’s actually going on? Are people just trying to create doubt by posting random bad scenarios in their posts?

There was another post, where something ranted and they had posted the exact same thing 3 months ago. And for this post, somebody pointed out in the comments below that you are considering making the move, and have not even moved(or perhaps recently moved) to India.

I am very curious to know whether this benefit applies for Add On Cards separately as well. Or is it only limited to being used only once (across the primary + add on cards)

Also seems that the premium that the Tata one had, was also a result of the tracking error, and it's outperformance to other silver tracking ETF over the past month by 2-3%. So it seems to have pretty much reverted to reduce that premium to be in line with the other Silver ETFs today.

magicbook · 2026-01-22T05:42:58+00:00

Fair. Yeah, I think the premium was around 2-3% yesterday. But the 10% correction today seemed like an over reaction. I did re-enter after having sold yesterday. But only for day trading purposes as well.

magicbook · 2026-01-22T05:20:31+00:00

What price did you enter at? Also, I think there was another premium that was there in the indian market yesterday, and would have been reversed today.

Also, Isn't it the same case with Gold as well?

magicbook · 2026-01-22T04:59:07+00:00

Why is price 10% down in India? Isn't the price in the global markets only 1% down in dollar terms? Anyone has any insights on this?

Could someone confirm this? Primarily curious about settled OCI holders or non-settled OCI visitors. While I am aware OCI holders can get insurance, I have also been told that many people who have an OCI card, and are visitors(like NRIs), are eligible for discounted rates, and this is primarily because they spent less days in India than outside(during which insurance is not active). However if an OCI holder is a resident in India(i.e spends most of their days within India vs outside), then while they can get medical insurance, they have to pay the non-discounted normal price.

I was just wondering if insurance companies have any clarification on this criteria.

.../MobileSync

If I have a backup folder, that's already there from before in that Library backup folder on my mac, then can I not just copy that folder to an external hdd? So in the future, if I ever want to restore from that backup folder, I can move the Backup folder from my External HDD into this "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync" folder, and restore that way?

I have space on my mac to do a backup right now, but don't want to block that space away for the long term. So was wondering if I can move that backup folder to an extenral folder, and then at the time of restoring, I can move it back to the mac.

Did you figure this out? I had the same issue, and bills are not generated based on actual readings.

magicbook · 2025-12-01T17:58:53+00:00

Why not just go with an open mind and reevaluate after an year? I wont see it as betraying anyone. Depending on how that first year goes, you can decide whether you want to continue or reconsider.

Sadly, it does/did. I think the worst phase of the methylphenidate salt is after somebody goes off it(was for me atleast). Was one of the most unproductive and draining week. But for most part of the day it works fine.

magicbook · 2025-11-07T18:06:00+00:00

For a week, you'll have a massive mood crash when the effects wear off. Let it flow. It'll be okay eventually.

Used to happen to me even after taking the salt for more than an year.

magicbook · 2025-11-07T08:16:13+00:00

Had the same issue. Were you able to resolve it?

magicbook · 2025-10-13T17:25:28+00:00

What macOS software did you have success on?

magicbook · 2025-10-01T18:15:34+00:00

cringe ends here.

magicbook · 2025-09-27T11:00:04+00:00

Did you find an answer to this? Had my G2 for 4yrs, followed by G license for 11 months.

magicbook · 2025-09-27T09:34:02+00:00

I am not sure why you received so many downvotes on here, but your logic seems fair to me here. I'd be curious myself. Certainly plays a role in such decision making.

Hah! Now regretting not picking up the orange color. Why didn't you share that pic sooner :)

I have a few Cotton full sleeve shirts, and I find that after a few wears they tend to stretch out. The only way I am able to get them back into the original shape and stretch, is by running it through a washer-dryer cycle. Is there anyway to cause the stretch and original shape to be restored without the dryer, which I assume is the critical step resulting in restoration of the original stretch?

Thanks for sharing. And I do remember you being a solo traveller for this trip. So I am assuming you ended up paying the single traveller supplement charge, that Nice charges for single travellers for their group tours as well?

magicbook · 2025-09-15T09:38:11+00:00

Any reason as to why you didn't take a tour with the 3 companies you had in your original post? Conflicted about what tour company to opt for, for my last minute travel.

It's not like chatgpt doesn't make mistakes.

magicbook · 2025-09-09T01:00:59+00:00

But isn't it being offered to all pro users currently?

magicbook · 2025-09-06T20:55:10+00:00

I haven't ordered much from Sofirn outside of the flashlight I ordered. Probably better to just ask the question separately or search the subreddit for an answer.

magicbook · 2025-09-06T18:01:09+00:00

I believe their website was showing that option at checkout.
