Purpose of this blog

There is so much knowledge around us and it is growing at such a rapid pace that human beings are no longer capable of keeping everything in their brain let alone remember the important things when required. My interests in a variety of fields ranging from technology, finance, law, world affairs to my childhood interest in Sanskrit and my hobbies has always stimulated my desire to study and get to know about various topics related to these fields. I strive to understand diverse aspects and different viewpoints and also try to develop my opinion based on the knowledge that I have gained and from experiences of people around me. Generally, your understanding of the topic improves by writing  about and explaining it to a layman in simplest of words. I would be working to improve my knowledge of various topics and hope to give you simplistic content to read and enjoy.

My Entry into the World of Credit Cards

After joining my job in June 2018, my salary account was opened in ICICI Bank. During the account opening process, I was offered a Life Time Free (LTF) credit card. Simply put, this was my first chance to get into the credit world without any extra hassle because first of all, neither was I aware of the concept of credit scores nor I had any credit history and secondly, I was just curious about credit cards after seeing of my father use his credit cards with extra caution and the monthly event of credit card bill payment that used to happen at my home.

For last couple of weeks, I was seeing increased available credit limit on my ICICI net-banking page.

The same limit enhancement offer is visible in iMobile app as well. See the last SMS message in the above screenshot In the Latest Bill tab you will see the Manage Limit option just above My Rewards. I have been using the card for around 10-11 months. Although this increase seems low, considering utilization, it seems fair. The highest credit utilization was around 15% once, while for the last couple of months, it was <1%. On average it was in 2-3% range. One can accept the increase through any of the three modes, SMS, netbanking or iMobile. It will immediately update the lim...

This article makes the post of emperor a symbolic one just like the post of Queen in UK or the post of president in a parliamentary democracy. It also emphasizes that the real power resides in the hands of people making it clear that there will be a democratic order of governance in Japan. Article 2 The Imperial Throne shall be dynastic and succeeded to in accordance with the Imperial House Law passed by the Diet.
