2026-04-14T00:53:00.000-07:00

Tamil Nadu Property Registration & Stamp Duty Guide (2026)

Registering a property in Tamil Nadu (Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, etc.) requires a clear understanding of government charges to avoid last-minute financial surprises. As of 2026, the combined cost of stamp duty and registration for a standard sale deed stands at 11%.

Key Calculation Factors:

Guideline vs. Market Value: Charges are always calculated on the higher of the two values. If you buy a flat for ₹50 Lakh but the government guideline value for that street is ₹55 Lakh, you must pay taxes on ₹55 Lakh.
2026 Female Concession: To promote property ownership among women, the Tamil Nadu government offers a reduced 3% registration fee (instead of 4%) for properties valued under ₹10 Lakh, provided the woman is the sole owner.
Family Transfers: Deeds such as Gifts, Settlements, or Partitions among immediate family members (parents, spouse, children, siblings) attract a heavily subsidized rate of 1% Stamp Duty and 1% Registration Fee, often capped at ₹25,000 and ₹4,000 respectively.
Tax Benefits: Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, you can claim a deduction of up to ₹1.5 Lakh on the stamp duty and registration charges paid during the financial year of purchase.

Pro Tip: Always verify the latest "Guideline Value" for your specific survey number on the TNREGINET portal before finalizing your budget.

Take Control of Your Debt: Introducing the Advanced Home Loan & Part-Payment Tracker

2026-04-14T00:01:00.000-07:00

Introducing the Advanced Home/Personal Loan & Part-Payment Tracker

Managing a home loan in a fluctuating economy can be stressful. Most online calculators give you a static number that doesn't reflect reality. Our new Dynamic Home/Personal Loan Calculator is built to change as your life.

👉 Try the Calculator Here

Why This Calculator is Different

This tool is specifically designed for the Indian financial landscape. It uses the ₹ (Rupee) symbol and the Lakh/Crore numbering system to ensure your data looks exactly like your bank statement.

🚀 Key Features

Fixed EMI, Flexible Tenure: Most Indian banks keep your EMI constant while adjusting your tenure when rates rise. Our tool mimics this real-world banking behavior, helping you see your actual debt-free date.
RBI Rate Change Tracking: Interest rates aren't static for 20 years. You can input rate changes at any specific month, and the logic will "cascade" the new rate forward to show the impact on your remaining balance.
Lump-Sum Part-Payment Optimizer: Want to see how much interest you save by paying an extra ₹1 Lakh today? Input any part-payment in any month and watch your total interest cost and tenure shrink instantly.
Real-Time Calendar View: By setting your start month and year, you get a personalized amortization schedule. No more "Month 48"—you'll see "June 2030," making it easier to plan your life milestones.
Principal vs. Interest Breakdown: See exactly how much of your monthly EMI is building your home equity versus how much is going to the bank.

🛠 How to Use the Tracker

Initial Setup: Enter your total loan principal, the current interest rate, and your original tenure.
Set Your Start Date: Choose the month and year your first EMI was (or will be) paid.
Monitor Market Shifts: When the central bank raises or lowers rates, simply update the Rate (%) column for that month in the table.
Strategize Prepayments: Experiment by adding amounts to the Part Payment column to see how much time and money you can save by paying off your loan early.

Cryptocurrency - Ethereum Should I Buy ?

2026-01-12T05:48:00.000-08:00

Image Source: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/

TL;DR

Ethereum ?

Ethereum was next valued cryptocurrency in the industry after Bitcoin. The reason for its value is because of the applications gets building around that crypto token is one reason and another one is because of mass developer adoption because of the tools and accessibility available over the internet.

Should I consider to Buy ?

As per invest banking the reason for Ethereum value creation will grow in Stablecoin field for settlement purpose from the traditional fiat settlement world.

Detailed Version

Ethereum: The Leading Cryptocurrency Beyond Bitcoin

Ethereum emerged as the second most valuable cryptocurrency in the industry following Bitcoin’s dominance. Its impressive market capitalization and sustained growth stem from two primary drivers. First, the explosion of innovative applications—known as decentralized applications (dApps)—built directly on the Ethereum blockchain using its native token, Ether (ETH). These include everything from decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to smart contracts that automate complex transactions without intermediaries. Second, Ethereum has achieved unprecedented mass adoption among developers worldwide, fueled by its robust ecosystem of user-friendly tools, libraries (like Solidity for smart contracts), and accessible resources available over the internet. This has created a virtuous cycle: more developers building on Ethereum attract more users, liquidity, and real-world utility, solidifying its position as the backbone of Web3 innovation.

Should You Consider Buying Ethereum?

Investment banks and analysts are increasingly bullish on Ethereum’s long-term value creation, particularly in the stablecoin sector. Stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies like the US dollar for price stability—are poised to revolutionize global settlements by replacing slow, costly traditional fiat systems used in cross-border payments and trade finance. Ethereum’s scalable Layer 2 solutions (like Optimism and Arbitrum) and upcoming upgrades (such as the shift to Proof-of-Stake via The Merge) position it as the premier network for high-volume, low-cost stablecoin transactions. Major players like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), which dominate the $150+ billion stablecoin market as of early 2026, overwhelmingly run on Ethereum. As institutional adoption grows—driven by regulatory clarity and integration with traditional finance—Ethereum could capture significant market share in this trillion-dollar opportunity, potentially driving substantial ETH price appreciation.

Pulicat Lake - Pazhaverkadu One Day Trip

2026-01-04T02:42:00.000-08:00

Started off with mindset that as a family we need to go for drive and some fun activity, kids where asking about the beach options.

Upon exploring the options through internet got one of the suggestion as Pulicate Lake and its a rare visit place any anyone even if there in Chennai for decades.

It was very quick plan on that morning to go for the one day trip. As everyone felt the same to step out, I got a quick nod from every member of my family to gear up for the one day trip.

Started taking actions immediately by searching for the contact person in pazhaverkadu for the availability, the first disappointment that its coincide with one of the Holiday too with reply getting from other side that most of the boats are not operating.

9:00AM - Trip Confirmed

Finally one of the fisherman agreed to accomadate us and we started filling our water bottle, snacks to have it on the beach and the cloths to change for swimming. Its Shallow water body so its safe for kids to swim and play within the restrictive range. We started from Chennai around 10:00AM and reached the destination around 11:00AM with less traffic.

12:00PM - Boating

After reaching the place the fisherman have guided us for car parking and taken to the shore to board the Boat. The food is arranged for us with some customization and they are friendly. The Boat started at 12:00PM and it took 30-40mins of journey to reach the place where lake and ocean connects.

1:30PM - Lunch

Around 12:40PM we reached the destination and weather was ultimate. To our surprise there where good number of families enjoying the time same as us. The beach view was good but as usual the place where polluted with food and bottles.

Upon arrival the care taker have bought the plastic sheet to spread on the sand to rest and poles to put up the tent. The weather was cloudy so there was no need for the tent and we enjoyed the complete day without getting sun burn much but with fear of getting rain shouldn't spoil the trip.

The food has arrived around 1:40PM and our care taker delivered the same to us to enjoy our meal in the open beach with waves sound. It was completely a different experience which every one of us to try out. There are restaurants on the ECR where beach view or near the shore but not as close as this you can sit and enjoy the meal.

3:00PM - Swimming

After the heavy lunch we had some rest and kids with lot of energy been collecting empty shells on the beach to play. It was real fun when someone collect the shell with color not exists of what we have in our hand. Even the grown ups got curioty and started collecting the rare colors to put in the fish tank.

Slowly kids started getting into the sea and started playing in water which get them completely wet and made to dive in completely to enjoy the swim. Slowly one by one after the seeing the kids joy the adults started dive-in.

3:30 - The Ugly Truth

Have to say this if you go with family, you wont find any rest rooms facility. The grown up mens and kids are easy not the same case for the other family members. So plan it accordingly which might make you a uncomfortable sometimes to find the shady or hideout place to relax your bladder.

4:30 - Pack up

Around 4:00PM we started taking pics when the sea water level goes inside which expose the sand dune which is like we can walk in the center with both sides of ocean similar to Dhanushkodi experience (will make separate post for it).

The Car engine revived to start the journey back home, had some tea/coffee along with some puffs to end the trip with nice evening drive with praying of less traffic to end the trip happily. To our surprise yes the traffic was very less on the way back to home and with some good memories we bring back from the Pulicat Lake.

See you in the next post with my new journey experience.

Image Source: Google Maps

Feedback

The resort was good, for sure it need renovation and not as shown in the image for the rooms and facilities. The garden was maintained good but Swimming pool was under maintenance when we visited. We where allowed to swim but it was risky as the tiles are causing injury. Food was .

We stayed for a day over there and started to Salem next day where the real surprise waits.

Day 2 - Salem

2:00PM - Heavy Rain

After checking out the hotel the same briyani shop we bought the packets to have it on the way. After getting down from the Servarayan Hills (Yercaud) to Plateau region (Salem) we drove the way to Poolampatti Village near Mettur Dam which is 50km drive from Salem. It was heavy rain pour on the way and not an easy drive for us with little fear of things to go smooth as planned for the resort as the dark is not far away to find the roads interior.

It seems we went through our one of our CM village and seeing the development happened over there which is good and thats the reason we where able to reach the resort on time as the roads where good.

05:30PM - Grand Lake Resort

On the Mettur River Bank in the village named Poolampatti the Grand Lake resort is situated. After Check-In we rushed to take the pictures as the sunlight was about to logoff for its day. All different poses where tried to capture the river bank along the mountains behind it was a perfect spot to enjoy the view and pics for your memories.

Quickly gone over the resort facilities and we started to settle down in the room with kids being exploring the room facilities. I have booked a room with Dip Pool at the back was surprise for the kids. The kids started throw of the cloths and rushing to enjoy the dip pool with song played behind from the bluetooth speaker.

Image Source: Google Maps

The dip pool was with open sky view with prison compounds surrounding them with some sort of privacy. We check-in the hotel on Monday because it was completely occupied on weekend with some corporate party. It was only us and another bachelor team where enjoying the resort with lot of privacy.

The night went spending time with kids enjoying the dip pool. The whole trip memory stay with that and it actually made one of the family memory for us.

Everything tastes good at the shop, we are about to done with our morning munch but there comes another surprise for us where they started making hot bonda's made of coriander and mint. There was lot of local people waiting for that to get packed for the home to enjoy what we had for ourself at the shop.

SRI VELA BACKES

8:30AM - Artificial Water falls

Our breakfast was done because we started trying out everything from the shop to not miss out any taste. I felt like this is what unadulterated food tastes like. Back to the resort and played for sometime. The resort has artificial water fall which they can run for 20mins for a booking and extra can be paid service. It was kind of Thai massage with complete privacy for us to enjoy that.

10:30 PM - Poolampatti boating

We started again to roam the near by places like Poolampatti boating spot where they take you for 20-30 mins ride on the river bank which is enjoyable scenery. All good we started to see the Mettur dam with mesmerizing view of the dam from tower.

My Briyani Story - Hotel 1

2023-12-28T04:54:00.000-08:00

By social media influencers I am also one of the foodie want to try the food over there. It was start of the era of craving for morning Briyani where that hotel was one of the popular place to be tried with quotes of some actors and directors was their regular customers to the hotel.

With that hype and craving for morning Briyani, I have to take a war against my dad and mom to try out the food. Early morning 15km journey to try the food, I was little surprised on the place they where running the hotel and space they have. Due to rain the morning Briyani process was delayed which made us to roam the streets for 2 hours to get the Briyani ready. I could have also made a Briyani by that time but their process of Briyani making was 4-5 hours of duration.

After a long wait the Brozne made vessel is moved out of the charcoal flame and the hot steam is whooping out through the closed lid not tempted why so ? I was expecting an aromatic smell which is completely missing out when i stepped into the place ok, so the imagination they where able to capture everything within the dum (over imagination).

To not miss out the Briyani and not many competitors around me to get the parcel, stil I was running for it because of the 2 hours of wait, with a loud voice "Anna rendu Briyani Parcel" (Bro Two Briyani Parcel) quickly made a payment and rush out to the vehicle to start my Lambo😁 to reach the home in 60 seconds before the Briyani gets cold. Atlast reached home and climbed stairs in a hurry to open the parcel but what a turnout I could smell the Banana leaf smell, we are so lucky and now Briyani become organic.

Finally unpacking the parcel and searching for the treasure "piece enga da" (looking for the meat), found one and ah the second. Ok then unpack the sides and ready for the attack. After a long travel and wait the first bite "enna da ithu" (what is this ?) not able to feel the worth of time and money invested for this journey. It was not a Tomato rice nor Puliogare nor Briyani, I dont know where to list the so called Briyani to fit in under the South Indian Dish.

Kind request to Social Media Influencers to add disclaimers towards the end of review, "mudiyala da dey" (not able to tolerate) such hype they set.

-Djavax.net.debug=SSL

To enable the entire logs

-Djavax.net.debug=ALL

Whats our analysis ?

If you observe SSL handshake of client logs below the actual client hello initiated in SSLv2 message with server to say that client can support up to TLSv1.2 version.

Client SSL handshake logs:

WRITE: TLSv1.2 Handshake, length = 329

WRITE: SSLv2 client hello message, length = 359

Whats solve for it ?

Forced/Limited our enabled protocols list to use TLSv1.2 while establishing the handshake with server.

SSLEngine.setEnabledProtocols(new String[] {"TLSv1.2"});

Complete SSL Handshake Flow:

No trusted certificate found

2018-12-24T21:37:00.002-08:00

What we are trying here ?
We are trying to do SSL handshake with Server using TLSv1.2 as minimum protocol version.

What happened ?
The below SSL handshake flow confirms that the certs produced by the Server are not found in our trusted repository.

Client hello ->
<-server font="" hello="">
<- certificate="" chain="" font="" server="">
Exception : No trusted cert found

What Needs to be done ?
Do enable SSL logging by following the Steps to enable SSL logging in JAVA.
On Start up logs you can find the trusted certs loaded from the trust store provided in you program, which will list down all the certs present in your truststore.

Trust Store Entries - Program Startup

adding as trusted cert:
  Subject: EMAILADDRESS=XXXX@XX.com, CN=QA Root CA, OU=Crypto Mgt, O="Test, Inc.", L=San Jose, ST=California, C=US
  Issuer:  EMAILADDRESS=XXXX@XX.com, CN=QA Root CA, OU=Crypto Mgt, O="Test, Inc.", L=San Jose, ST=California, C=US
  Algorithm: RSA; Serial number: 0xb53c709b41567e9d
  Valid from Tue Mar 26 23:08:23 IST 2013 until Sat Mar 20 23:08:23 IST 2038

Do check for your server certs submitted to you program like below sample SSL lines (*** - lines abstracted) and try to identify the cert submitted by server are exists in your trust store.

All Your Devices Can Be Hacked Even When Not Connected to Internet

2015-01-11T02:58:00.000-08:00

Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have revealed that all the devices you use, be it laptops, smartphones, tablets etc. are vulnerable to hacking attacks even when they are not connected to Internet. According to a report, hackers can see what a user is doing just by analysing low-power electronic signals emitted by a device. If the report is to be believed, there’s a significant flaw in the design of the systems we use and raises a question about how secure is our digital world. Researchers have developed a metric known as 'side-channel signal' by studying the emissions from the devices, which could be useful to prioritize the security.

Alenka Zajic, an assistant professor at Georgia Institute of Technology explained that even when there’s no Internet connectivity on devices, information still leaks out of devices and could be used by hackers for cyber-attack. In such case, smartphones are believed to be more vulnerable to threats compared to computers. Spies can measure side-channel emissions several feet away from the operating device. Electromagnetic and acoustic emissions can be measured by antennas or hidden microphones placed near devices, whereas, power fluctuations on the devices can also be picked by other smart gadgets.

For demonstration, Alenka Zajic typed a password on a laptop which wasn’t connected to Internet. On the other side was a colleague intercepting the side-channel emissions which allowed him to read the password as it was being typed. The keyboard was modified to make characters easier to read. Though there is no evidence about any of attacks carried out using side-channel emissions, there must be few planning to do it. Researchers currently are studying the emission leaks which would allow them to know the flaws in devices and ultimately lead a solution to redesign them.

“Signal Available to Attacker” aka SAVAT measure the strength of the emitted signal. Findings suggest that strength is highest when processor access off-chip memory. Possibility of attack increases with strength, hence reducing signal strength is the only key to avoid such attacks.

SpaceX failed to land a rocket on a platform in the ocean — but it's still a step closer

2015-01-11T02:47:00.001-08:00

Saturday morning, SpaceX launched its fifth cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station, part of a collaboration with NASA.

But this time SpaceX, nearly did something unprecedented afterward: the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket landed vertically on a platform floating in the Atlantic Ocean a few minutes after its job was finished. However, the rocket touched down too hard because it ran out of hydraulic fluid, and was damaged in the process:

Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard. Close, but no cigar this time. Bodes well for the future tho.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 10, 2015

Didn't get good landing/impact video. Pitch dark and foggy. Will piece it together from telemetry and ... actual pieces.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 10, 2015

Normally, rockets are simply allowed to break up into pieces or sink in the ocean after each use. A controlled landing of the rocket could have allowed SpaceX to reuse it on a future flight — and reusing this multi-million dollar piece of equipment, rather than throwing it out after every flight, could dramatically drive down the cost of space travel.

The landing platform, which was damaged during the hard landing. (SpaceX)

But even if the rough landing destroyed the rocket, just placing it accurately on the platform was a big step in the right direction. The company admitted this was a difficult maneuver with a high chance of failure beforehand, and it's expected they'll keep trying in future launches.

What SpaceX was trying to do

The company launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in order to carry an uncrewed space capsule up to the International Space Station. The Dragon capsule will deliver all sorts of cargo to the ISS — food, life support equipment, and several scientific experiments — when it arrives there on Monday.

The rocket that launched the capsule into space is made up of two parts: a 138-foot-tall first stage, which burned for the first few minutes of flight, lifting the craft up to an altitude of about 50 miles before separating and falling back to Earth, and a smaller, 49-foot-tall second stage, which burned for another five minutes or so, carrying the spacecraft into orbit before disconnecting and falling back down to earth as well.

Usually, both of these stages — as well as the stages that make up other rockets in general — break up into pieces as they plummet downward, eventually sinking in the ocean and becoming unusable. But today, as the first stage fell back to earth, SpaceX fired its engines in order to stabilize and guide it for a controlled landing on an autonomous uncrewed barge, stationed about 200 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida, as shown in the graphic at right, from Space.com.

As the rocket descended, steerable fins affixed to its outside helped guide it and slow it down. As it neared the barge, a set of legs unfolded from the bottom of the rocket, and the rocket gently landing on them, fully upright at a speed of about 4.5 miles per hour.

OnePlus Two (Expected Q2 2015)

2015-01-08T07:19:00.001-08:00

The new flagship device from OnePlus is expected to release sometime Q2 2015. According to OnePlus one themselves, the new device will have a rather unique design and of course run Cyanogenmod 12S (based on Android Lollipop). While nothing as far as hardware has been confirmed, we can expect some amazing specs from the young start-up and no invite system to get your hands on one.

The OnePlus Two will also be a high-end but low priced device (similar to the OnePlus One) which is available for just 269€
