Buy, Borrow, Die? Better Call Rak!
08/20/21 • 12 min
Welcome to the latest episode of WhatTheFs, lucky episode number 13! WhatTheFs episodes are my weekly take on fads, films, finance & fun, with friends, and have been dropping regularly every friday. I do know they have become sort of a weekly ritual for some of the committed listeners and their families, so thanks for your support.
I strive to keep in touch with whatever the F is happening around the world, so that five minutes with me over the weekend should make your next five days happy, make you money, or both! Paanch taaza minute mein paanch din ka jaaykedaar mazaa.
In today’s episode, titled Buy, Borrow, Die? Better call Rak...I am delighted to share with you two items that are BOATs - Best of All Times. A streaming series recommendation that ranks amongst the very best, is a totally bingeable series on par, and dare I say, even better than its predecessor ‘sequel’. And the ultimate estate management, tax savings & capital gains avoidance strategy called Buy, Borrow, Die! And why the Biden Tax Plan could be like the Taliban :-)
A bonus lawyer joke is in there too ;-) It's all good, man!
I enjoy putting these episodes together every week, and I do hope you enjoy listening to them. If you do, please also share with your friends & social circles and recommend they subscribe too. Hearing back from you on my newly launched Facebook Page What The Fs will also help me make these better aligned to listener tastes.

Serpent in the Garden of Internet
Once upon a time ...the garden of internet was an unspoiled, innocent, open playground for all of us. It held so much promise. There was an Apple in this garden too. Beguiling, tasty....And then the serpent appeared! The fault lines from the offline world, the typical human failings showed up here too, and even a bite of the mighty apple has not been enough to restore the internet to its pristine state.
Welcome to the 12th episode of WhatTheFs, my weekly take on Fads, Films, Finance & Fun, with Friends! In todays episode, called the Serpent in the Garden of Internet, I bring to you two items that showcase, what else, the serpent.
In What The Film, a Netflix limited series that is based on the exploits of the notorious conman, Charles Sobhraj, who prowled, defrauded and killed unsuspecting victims in the hippie trails of South Asia during the 70s! A larger than life figure for those who grew up in India and heard about his dodges, frauds, capture, and escapes, his backstory and the extent of his evil needs to be seen to be believed.
There is another reason why I chose this series for today’s episode! Sobhraj lured and defrauded his victims back in the days before mobile phones & internet, but there are parallels and lessons for us in todays world, in the age of the internet.
In the What The Finance section, I am touching upon What The Fraud....the frauds, scams & hacks that have permanently taken away the innocence and promise of the Garden of Internet! Sprinkled with some tips and suggestions to make sure you and your family never become a victim.
Serpent in the Garden of Internet: Hope you find this episode useful...and if you do, pls do share with your friends & social circles, and do drop me your inputs, experiences & feedback on the topic so we can all learn from each other!

Living with Big Trust issues? Little Lies Will do!
Someone is killed...but who? why? and by whom?
The enchanting coastal town of Monterey in California, right at the edge of one of the most scenic drives in the world, the Big Sur, is the setting for this stunningly mesmerizing HBO series on the lives, the loves, and the losses of the top 1%, nay the top .01% amongst us. The star wattage of the cast is by itself enough to put this two-season series in the top 1% of streaming shows too, but the plot, the characters and the gorgeous cinematography, make it to the .01% level!
And is murder itself the mystery? More than a whodunit, this is a relationship expose...and the real mystery is about the little lies we tell ourselves and those around us to cover up the big holes in our lives. Big Little Lies!
What happens when the rich and famous don't do proper estate planning? Like it happens in this series, they run into custody issues, guardianship questions for their minor children, property disputes, what have you...all because they didn't bother to tune into WhatTheFs :-)
