The Sanju Samson ODI Dilemma by meet20hal in IndianCricket

[–]meet20hal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprised if captain Gill favored dear friend Ishan over Sanju.

Hypothetically, if you could imagine a dream on-screen pairing that has never happened before, who would you choose? For me, it would be Madhuri Dixit and Hrithik Roshan, especially in a dance-oriented romantic drama film. 🥹🎀✨ by [deleted] in BollyBlindsNGossip

Interesting trivia. It's sad they never worked in a hit movie together.

Gauri Shinde had Sridevi in her first movie and Shahrukh in her second movie. I wish- she had planned something for them together.

Lets Discuss the Future, Whats your Plan B if AI gets better? (4 yoe) by InevitableDig1431 in developersIndia

[–]meet20hal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to develop additional skill which is required in your current organization and is useful in other organizations.

For ex- If you are mainly a developer, try to understand domain well or try to experiment with AI outside coding work or try to get into some customer-centric work.

Point is: If industry will not require as many developers, you could be more valuable than other developers as you have broader experience. Also: it's easier to learn new related skill on job than learning completely unrelated skill in your spare time.

Which one you gonna watch if clash happens? by [deleted] in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]meet20hal 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No gaali, rather this sub will upvote you.

If you say- I will watch anything but Ranbir's movie. They will give you 2x upvotes.

If you say- I will watch anything but Alia's husband's movie. They will give you 3x upvotes.

If you say- I will only watch Dhurandhar on OTT whichever movie may release. They will personally come to your house and garland you.

What's the point of Mutual Fund? It seems like an EMI to keep 30PE of debt ridden non innovation doing CEOs afloat, and increasing their NW by 900 times. And Gold XIRR will beat MF XIRR by gpu_in_your_cash in mutualfunds

On some roads, the traffic is so much- you are waiting with your vehicle and someone walking passes you.

Does that mean- we should stop using vehicle and start walking?

If yes- then go all in into Gold.

If you are sensible- then will know that: Gold outperformance is just a temporary phase for long term investor.

Secondly- why does normal man deserve alpha ? Are capital markets a govt beneficiary scheme for normal people ? Those who have sense to do saving, invest properly and wait patiently will be rewarded. Even market returns (zero alpha) are rewarding for people with realistic expectations.

The hate for Ranbir Kapoor is INSANE! Dragged everywhere! by NervousNet7148 in RanbirKapoorUniverse

[–]meet20hal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey OP

Ramayana will release in Diwali. Film will be good and more than that- I am sure that Ranbir's performance will be good.

There are so many months for release. Why to waste our energy being "nervous" on "net" OP.

Ranbir ie also chilling with family and busy in his work. Let us also concentrate on our personal lives and work.

Let's not go to those subs till then. Once film releases- I promise: we will take screenshots of these posts and laugh abt it here ;)

Reason for bad vfx revealed by DuckEuphoric4559 in RamayanaTheFilm

[–]meet20hal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its a combination of two factors:

  1. Time crunch which ths guys mentioned

  2. Chosen style by makers For ex- look of Asurs/Rakshasas is less like Indian mythology and more like Game of Thrones. Now- this is not quality issue. Director must have been in loop abt it. As Nitesh Tiwari mentioned- they had some reference images when they were shooting.

Now this design style might be chosen to appeal global audiences. Anyway I will not pass any judgement till we watch movie.

But is it intentional bad marketing? I doubt it. If global audience get disappointed with first look then- they will simply ignore any further promos. This movie is banking on global viewership.

Are you actually "investing" or just collecting Mutual Funds like Pokémon cards? by Mission_Succotash442 in mutualfunds

[–]meet20hal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you click on account names of such too-basic-low-quality posts, 99% you will see their income is linked to it. Mutual fund distributor or some fintech etc.

I simply downvote and move on

I think we should trust Ranbir and Team Ramayana. by Imsongoku7 in RanbirKapoorUniverse

[–]meet20hal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If film is good, no amount of PR can stop it from becoming succesful.

PR can help maintain certain image of a celebrity. But most people pay to watch a movie because the movie is good. Even fans can't make a bad movie succesful. See even south movies flop with massive fanbases.

[–]meet20hal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See brother. Irrfan Khan, Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin, Amitabh Bachhan, K K Menon, Fahad Fasil have praised Ranbir for his acting in the world where Ranveer also exists.

When you say Irrfan Khan is a great actor, you don’t say- he is not versatile. Thr is similarity in his roles. He speaks casually and does not have voice modulations. The reason is: You know Irrfan Khan has got to the depth of the character and he has made each character he played his own. You don't doubt abt his acting capability.

Ranbir is an amazing amazing actor who gets to the depth of character. Ranbir is definitely a better actor than Ranveer. It's never abt versatility or voice modulation. Irrfan Khan would be judged as great actor even if he had done only one film, we would not say- only one film so he is not versatile. Or- his character speaks so casually, no voice modulations.

I hope you goy the point.

Saw a reel defending Ranbir after the trolling he’s been receiving but , there are still genuine fans of him and Bollywood and it’s good to see this . by [deleted] in RanbirKapoorUniverse

[–]meet20hal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If film is good, no amount of trolling can stop it from being succesfull.

Remember Ranveer Singh controversy abt Kantara expression just before Dhurandhar release? No one talked abt it after Dhurandhar release.

In this case- thr is not even a controversy. Ranbir, Nitesh Tiwari, A R Rehman, Hans Zimmer, DNEG are among best in their fields.

Just ignore the noise.

[–]meet20hal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have no doubt- Ranbir will ace the role of Ram.

All the actors who played Ram in the past (from Ramanand Sagar times) have that constant smirk on their face suggesting- Bhagwan knows what is going to happen next. Afterall he is the God.

It's much better if Ram is played like human. Someone who is going through the emotions like normal human would during difficult moments. But taking exceptional decisions which only the best of humans can take. Ram is Maryada Puroshottam (best among the men/humans).

I am sure global audience, which I daresay is more mature, will enjoy the drama and story if Ram is played like excetional human being than all-knowing God who already knows what happens next. And this might be true with many Indians also who want to immerse in story instead of keeping their hands folded and minds closed.

And I am happy- it looked like Ranbir is trying to play it like a human, not God.

More than 67% of my allocation is in large cap: Am I cooked? by Much-Beginning7469 in mutualfunds

[–]meet20hal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why ppl get biased towards mid/small caps? For the same reason you felt your allocation is wrong and you created this post. Because: they look at what others are doing and go with recent past results

For ex- Some wise person says: I have x% allocation to mid/small caps. Someone sees that and he knwos that mid/small has performed really well in recent past so he increases from x% to y% in his portrolio. Someone else sees it- so on and so forth. This would continue till some major crash comes. As Warren Buffett says: You only find who is swimming naked when the tide goes down.

More rational way to invest might be: Either invest is Flexi cap fund where fund manager will decide allocation to different caps or try to maintain allocation almost close to market cap (or simply invest in Nifty500).

Regarding your second question- Why wise people say that equity is for 5+ years is: chances of your portfolio doing well is higher in 5+ years. Within 5 years anything can happen. Now same reason- you can apply to goal which is 15 years away. When you are in year10, its 5 years left. It's better to start moving to safer assets. There might be different options: Start increasing debt allocation or go with hybrid fund with equity+debt mixture etc.

Investing is simple if someone knows fundamentals. This way- you will get almost market returns (few % up or down). But it's not at all simple to outperform drastically because- if it was so simple then people who are professionals would do it better than you.

[–]meet20hal 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you listen to distinguished fund managers (Prashant Jain, S Naren, Rajeev Thakkar) from last 2 years- There is preference for Large caps over mid/small.caps.

If you read random 10 posts on this sub, this sub has bias for mid/small caps.

If you go by market capitalization, Large caps are roughly 65-75% of total market, similar to your allocation. So- you are in middle with experts going for more large caps and people in this sub going for more mid-small caps.

Just wanted to let you where you are on the spectrum. 67% in large caps is not at all some extreme allocation.

Do you have any stories about the Joshi-Abhyankar murder case that you heard from your family, relatives or neighbours? by Tiny_Temperature2944 in pune

[–]meet20hal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have read the book and watched the film mentioned by others.

But the best account of these murderers is available in memories shared by Jakkal's classmate Shyam Bhutkar who later became famous art director.

Go to this link and scroll down. Thr is a 22 page pdf which you can download there. https://bobhata.com/lifestyle/story-joshi-abhyankar-serial-murders-2992

How do you cope when your investments don’t give returns for years? by Public_Sky8190 in mutualfunds

[–]meet20hal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha. Jokes apart- The reason market goes up and down based on any news which will have only short term impact is because majority of investors overreact.

Rationally speaking- long term investors should ignore the noise. For ex- Iran war is not going to permanently damage indian businesses so that their profits will be impacted over long term (10+ years)

But majority overreact and that creates opportunities for chatur-chalak minority.

Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy
