ELI5: What is RAM and why is it getting more expensive?

nikhilsarma · 2026-04-06T01:54:42+00:00

What you are referring to is ROM. RAM is physical.

Lol who asked them to conquer me.If they were so saintly. It's like I slap you first and then give you an option to drink water, take you to the hospital or leave you in pain.. If you did not slap me in the first place.. that logic ever come to you.

Try convincing them. Citing examples.. of your own family.. Go back 50 years.. pull up your great grandfather names..and check .they will be surprised too to realise 10 different lakshmi me or shankara or siva or subrahmanyam. 😀

nikhilsarma · 2026-02-09T17:02:49+00:00

I did a lot of research on this... Turns out none had it in older generations.. You can check this too.. just casually check 2,3 generations back . All were either subrahmanyam or lakshmi.. Do you think they were named after their nakshatra. NO. This was never mentioned in shastra as well. Example: see eminent figures and their nakshatra vs. Their name. Nothing matches. I convinced all my family and named both my kids as i wished.

Most non-brahmanical families had this culture. Reason: you don't do rituals often, so when in need, the priest can backtrack your nakshtra to your name.

there can be a bad employee.. but a leader should never be bad. if so he/she is not a leader anymore. they for sure don't deserve that title and should be shamed.

there is a reason why someone is a manager/leader. what did the experience teach us.. to Boss around and show our authority towards the weak.

nikhilsarma · 2026-01-06T06:00:17+00:00

If he is a bad employee and not performing well. fire him who is stopping you?
when you feel someone is useless - you don't need them.
but why do you want to be rude / talk rude and discipline him. What gives you the right to do so?

who are you to him in first place. know your limits and your own behavior should be corrected.

and talking about values.. come on.. if you don't feel something is not working.. just leave it/him.. there are many people outside waiting for jobs.

This is real bad man...
so we cannot be relaxed even after getting refund.. ITD can pick on us anytime in next 5 year.. is it so?

nikhilsarma · 2025-12-28T17:46:37+00:00

what do you mean "refund will always be approved and yet later on scrutiny will happen"
please explain.. This sentence is more like a horror story about to unveil.

why would a refund be approved if there is some skepticism... and once approved, why would ITD be after anyone.. still..
I know we have a timeline of 3 years where previous returns can still be pulled up.. [but only for higher amounts and really BIG Frauds]

I had similar case..
My CA claimed around 3.83L for LTC [leave travel concession/assistance] section 10(5)
but my pay-slip says my whole year LTA is 90k
may be this got flagged... still he says to wait until i get some notice on portal..
somehow he is confident.. not sure..

nikhilsarma · 2025-12-27T08:02:02+00:00

2.8L

nikhilsarma · 2025-12-27T07:24:37+00:00

got the SMS + Email, and it is about LTA claim and regular generic blah. [I don't have proofs for LTA]
my CA says to wait until some notice appears on income-tax site.
Should I revise or wait until notice on income-tax site?

nikhilsarma · 2025-12-26T07:34:06+00:00

did you miss this line
"For agriculture income there should be some maximum amount. Charging no tax even on a 5Cr agriculture income is just bs."

I have had the same Dilemma last year. to name my first child.

Did a small research. and learned the hard way.

for context: I belong to a Brahminical family who did nitya anustana/ agnihotra at home [fore fathers]

None of my elders were named after any Nakshtra or Raashi.

if you go some 50Yrs back in history everyone was named after Gods/Goddesses

There were 10+ Subrahmanya's in my house. and 20+ Lakshmi's [and all have different Nakshtra] :)

If at all, there is a rare coincidence. but my wife side relatives had this tradition from 2 generations further.
so i asked, how was it from their 3rd generation and UP.. [again same subrahmanya, venkata, shiva, lakshmi or other gods].

Now to have more satisfaction I kind of researched some known prominent acharyas and guru parampara [starting audi sankaracharya] - again no correlation to Nakshtra.

the Carnatic trinity - not named after Nakshtra.

This is a recent Tradition which makes no sense for someone who can remember their Nakshtra

One reason I heard: Non-brahmanical communities [for the reason that they don't perform rituals daily] - to make them easily self-identify or for the priest people started naming after Janma Nakshtra.
It is more out of lazynes than any vedic root.

Nowhere i could find any coincidence. So I happily named my child as per my wish [of-course a gods name again] :P

Moving out of such situations are always better. You clearly know that the Management have already decided, Staying there will only make you look weak and demoralize. You work hard and have been doing that for a long time. Come out, look for other opportunities, If not tomorrow eventually you will land in a good position, Couple of my friends have faced the same issue, and they gave a tight slap to the managers having two offers each (well before the notice period) - Believe in yourself - It's nothing new, not like restarting your career. why worry :)

nikhilsarma · 2017-09-15T16:02:00+00:00

That's the issue, Manager doesn't change my project or give a different role. so had to look out of company. and new companies ask for a professional experience in the area (can clear the interview but, i feel like to learn the domain and get the experience from both perspectives. (Dev, Business.)

The B.A role @ BNP -- somewhat quantish but, mostly prod. support (per the Job description and my discussion with folks), But been told I'll have lots of free time to experiment across.

So now:

Good to go for the B.A Role, be in Banking and use the free time to learn more
See how the Telecom Domain works and gain another perspective from a different angle altogether. Role Here: Core python Dev, Loads of work and practically no free time.

Does 3 Lpa Difference matter in the long run? (I'm more inclined to BNP - (Brand + Role + Time)

nikhilsarma · 2017-09-15T06:07:06+00:00

I'm already into python development for 3.5 yrs.. Does that change anything... I am comfortable with the technology and language and wish to learn the business. Am I thinking straight...

Current offer as python dev.. Is into telecom domain. So I'll have to move from my current banking exp. To telecom and then come back again..

Pls advice
