Origin of Bengali Brahmin surnames along with ill effects and implementation of Koulinya Pratha

 - 1000 yeras ago, local bengal king Adisur invited 5 brahmins from kingdom or area of erstwhile kannauj - King Adisur is a big landlord/samanta under pal dynasty towards the end of the pal dynasty (source: khitish bangshabali charitam charita - local lineage history record book of Khitish blood line) - Pal dynasty was budhdhist while Adisur was Hindu - Rard desh, banga desh, gour desh, baredra desh were the area under King/landlord/samanta Adisur - time line mentioned in poem: in same book - Bikramabda (this incident happened before onset of gregorian calendar) so 999 Bikramsambat (year) pusha nakshatra on shukla paksha (day) - 942 BC approx - Reason of calling: Adisur was without male child.

How using a dishwasher brought relief to my family and how I use it?

 Making the choice I came across several youtube videos on dishwasher initially. I am a tech savvy person and love to automate repeatative tasks and I have a goal to automate most of my household repeatative tasks. So, that we get quality time together and are not dependent on domestic help for heavy lifting. We have children and not a large family where she would receive support in child daily activities from family seniors. As a result, we are very much on our own and have to depend on our own time management and on machines - washing machine, refrigerator, 2 wheelers, amazon scheduled deliveries, dishwasher for our comfort and daily work needs. Deciding on the machine I checked different dishwasher online and zeroed in on Voltas beko 8 place set. It is the smallest and the cheapest machine with the highest review in the online e-commerce space.I also did a market study to see if the dishwasher specific detergents are available offline. It is not available. I also went to a local...

Story of How I lost INR 40,000 by participating in Stock Lending and Borrowing Scheme (SLBM)

Background I came to know about it a bit earlier and there was a lot of paper work that had to be signed. I initially attempted to complete the process by sending it online after filling the forms and scanning them and sending them to IDBI capital official email ids. This was during the height of covid 19, so travel was still limited and work from home was going on. However, it failed as they required office visit in-person for form submission and verification. So, I waited another 1 year. I also came to learn that the scheme is still not popular and I am possibly the first one to apply for this scheme in the entire eastern India region of IDBI capital. I filled the form and resubmited physically. Procedure I needed to go to a specific SLBM page of NSE everyday and export the file in CSV format - https://www.nseindia.com/market-data/securities-lending-and-borrowing Then I needed to filter the spread with a value (not the blank ones) under series -B. SLB is generallay done on the stocks...

How to identify your dream company or dream job?

 I consider myself a level headed person neither too intelligent nor stupid, a mix of both. And I have spent a decade in the job market of India but my observations or key takeaways can be applicable to any other "employee" in any other nation. Firstly, there is no dream company accept it. That company you consider "dream company" will make profit at the expense of your job (fire you at the drop of the hat) or even your dead body. Try to have a professional and transactional relationship. Secondly, the salry structure and appraisals are rigged towards the profit of the company.So, if you think you want to become rich start investing in stock market (via mutual funds) buy REITs - simply buy "assets" with your salary that is what I did and over a period of time now I can see that my lifestyle is not tied to appraisal or promotion. It makes your life so easy. Thirdly, Have your own term insurance and medical insurance. Dont think that your company's group...
