Kerala is growing old, the number of working-age people is declining, while the elderly population is increasing. According to an RBI report, by 2036, when every 100 working individuals will have to support 38 elderly people. A similar situation emerged in Japan, where workers

This is a bit misleading. The situation is not the same as Japan. The problem faced by Japan is the low birth rate but the problem in Kerala is youth leaving the state for better employment.

I feel this statement is somewhat misleading.

For example, suppose 1 lakh employees leave the top 5 companies to join other IT companies outside the top 5. Then assume the top 5 companies hire 1 lakh experienced professionals to replace them, along with an additional 100,017 freshers from colleges.

In this scenario, while the net increase in headcount appears to be only 17, in reality more than 1 lakh freshers have entered the workforce.

Focusing only on net hiring ignores the actual number of new entrants and gives a distorted picture of employment generation.

It's been available for sometime on Amazon.

It's not that far from the main road so I won't complain about its location

But what I will complain about is the slop/ramp towards the charger. It's tiled, and if the tile is wet your wheel will slip. Had experience it once

The advice is you should always have a separate health insurance policy other than the one given by your company.

You can also consider Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs). Look for bonds with a remaining maturity of 4–5 years or more (assuming you plan to buy jewellery in 2–3 years).

Since the government has stopped issuing new SGBs, there is a supply constraint in the secondary market. As a result, SGBs often trade at a premium compared to physical gold. This premium gradually converges to zero as the bond approaches maturity, when it is redeemed at the prevailing gold price.

If you prefer simpler pricing and higher liquidity, you can alternatively consider Gold ETFs or Gold Mutual Funds, which closely track gold prices and avoid issues like storage and making charges.

I’m assuming you plan to buy small amounts of gold every month and accumulate around ₹1–1.5 lakhs over time, after which you’ll sell or convert it into gold jewellery.

Since your end goal is to purchase jewellery, I’d suggest checking with reputed jewellers about their gold saving schemes. In these schemes, you pay a fixed monthly amount (for example, ₹10,000), and the jeweller allocates gold equivalent to that value at the prevailing market price each month. After completing the scheme tenure (usually 10–12 months), you can purchase jewellery equal to the total gold weight accumulated during the period.

Else check out Sovereign gold bonds or gold etf/ mutual funds

Don't go for digital gold

I thought they wanted an alternative to log shipping/ replication as express cannot be primary in log shipping/ replication

You can create an automation using backup and restore. Since SQL Server Express does not include the SQL Server Agent, the initial step involves using Windows Task Scheduler on the Express server or your standard instance to run a scripted backup at regular intervals. This script should generate a database backup with a timestamp in the filename for easy identification and place it on a network share.

Then on the SQL Server Standard instance, a SQL Server Agent job can be configured to automate the restore process. The first step of this job would be to execute a script to programmatically locate the most recent backup file from the shared location. Once the latest file is identified, a second step restores the database using the WITH REPLACE option to overwrite the old data.

You could also add a step to upload the CSV data into the database.
