32bj paid holidays nyc

I am 36f. My father and I have always had a difficult relationship. He is a narc with depression. I usually describe it as "imagine if Eeyore was an asshole." He tended to shut himself away in his home office and play solitaire and buy and sell antique tools on eBay. I played basketball for year (sometimes with 2-4 games a weekend when I was playing AAU) and I think he came to a couple games here and there. He also didn't go on vacations with Mom and I (while they were married obviously, that is a whole different set of tales). He was more or less uninvolved with my general life aside from making me dinner (I ate alone, he ate with mom when she came home. I legit didn't know people ate family dinners aside from holidays for a very long time), and picking me up from school.
They finally divorced when I was 16. He has remarried twice since. The first one sucked, the current one is relatively nice overall.
My mom was the breadwinner by far and paid him a lot of money when they split in exchange for full custody of me. I was old enough and would have chosen her in a heartbeat, but she didn't want to put me in that position. She said she was happy to be the bad guy for me. She was an amazing woman and mother, and she was my best friend in the whole world. She passed unexpectedly in November of 2021. I am still devastated.
I have spoken to them on the phone once or twice since Mom died. Mostly just texts on holidays and birthdays. The last time we spoke I had asked for space. I was (am) having a hard time dealing with losing mom and I wasn't in the mental headspace to deal with my father. There were other things going on as well.
Mom's birthday is right before Mother's Day so it was a double whammy of pain and awfulness. These text exchanges happened after Mom's birthday, but before Mother's day. I had been agonizing over writing back since. I have been drafting this with my therapist's imput and finally sent this off on Monday. I have heard absolutely nothing since. I'm sure Dad is spending some time in self pity land. I'm honestly pretty proud with how it came out.
Dear Dad and [stepmom2],
You are right, I did ask for space. I have been struggling to come to terms with the death of my mother, and an absolute rocking of the first, and main stable environment I have ever known. I still cry a lot, and I am devastated every day for losing the best friend that I ever had.
Dad, you asked me if I was sad we don't have a good relationship? I was, yes. For decades. Every year you shut yourself away. Every time you didn't come to something of mine. I vividly remember the time you didn't call me on my birthday because you were in Canada with [stepmom1] and it was "too expensive" for the international phone call. Extra $1.50 a minute. I struggled with anger and bitterness for so long, but I stopped. It wasn't healthy for me. The biggest help was one of my therapists who told me I needed to manage my expectations. I couldn't hold myself to the standard of the father I needed, so I needed to learn to accept the father you were capable of being. I have done that, and it has not been an easy journey.
Throughout all of this, this is somehow my responsibility to fix. My responsibility to call you. You say you want to make the effort but you are the still the victim.
Despite what you might have thought, Momma never alienated me from you or "stole" me. The worst thing she said was "he can't get out of his own way." As was per usual, she was and is correct. I don't know how or even if there is anything to fix.
None of this is intended to be cruel, or hurtful. It wasn't easy to write. I'd like a better relationship, sure maybe? I'm just not sure how we will go about doing that. Maybe we can try keeping in more touch via text and see how things go.
I do love you both, and I am very sorry for the losses you have suffered.

In my first post, I thought I covered basically everything that’s associated with SRK & his business Interests, however I seemed to have overlooked upon few key details about his businesses and other avenues of his earnings as well in a big way.
Here’s the breakdown of his other Business Investments/Earnings:
SRK Website:
I failed to find multiple supporting materials on this but based on a interview clip which I saw many years back and a supporting gossip post, I’m writing a gist of it. SRK actually launched his own website named www.SRKworld.com, a complete entertainment portal back in November 2000.
The company that owned and operated the portal was Aryan Informatics which was named after SRK’s son. Apart from SRK, Juhi was the other investor in Aryan Informatics.
SRK wanted to give updates on the website to his fans about his movies/promotions/events/fan interactions. Fans can also buy some of the merchandise, etc.
But due to occurrence of dotcom bubble in 2000 after few months of website launch and portal’s association with Bharat Shah, the website as well as the company viz. Aryan Informatics was sold to B4U, a leading Bollywood based entertainment TV Network.
Earning from the Movies:
In 2014, SRK charged about 30-40 Cr for starring in a film. But in recent years, SRK has started to partake in profits instead of taking any actor fees upfront. For his recent release Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan didn’t charge any fees for the movie and yet took home a lion's share from the earnings. Actor reportedly had a deal of 60% profit sharing as his remuneration from the movie. Since Pathaan was made on a budget of 270 Cr and makers earned a total profit of Rs 333 Crore, SRK was paid 200 Cr as his share.
SRK's recent release Pathaan is currently India's biggest blockbuster and Bollywood's second highest grosser of all-time.
Streaming Deals:
Not many people know about this but back in 2016, Netflix announced the mega deal with SRK a day after Amazon Prime Video’s launch in India. Amazon has stitched multiple deals with Indian studios including Dharma Productions, Vishesh Films, and T-Series on similar lines.
Netflix deal with SRK granted them the global streaming rights to the films in Red Chillies’ library, as well as any new movies from the production house that are slated for theatrical release within the next three years. Khan will also develop original content for the platform.
Transactional details about streaming rights were not shared with media outlets.
Kolkata Knight Riders:
We did go over all were the co-owners in this team. But I missed on sharing the shareholding pattern of the KKR co-owners:
SRK holds 55% of the team ownership & Jay Mehta/Juhi hold remaining 45% stake.
The KKR Shareholding pattern changed quite a bit over the years.
Knight Riders Sports Pvt Ltd, which runs KKR, had following shareholding pattern:
2008- Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt Ltd(RCEPL) had 9900 & Gauri 100 shares
2009- New shares were issued at Rs 10 per share price to RCEPL- 110,00,000 equity shares
Sea Islands Investment Ltd - 50,00,000 equity shares
Juhi Chawla Mehta - 40,00,000 equity shares
​
KKR Co-owners at an Airport
2010- JCM sold to SIIL(Mauritius based company owned by Jay Mehta) about 40L shares at Rs 10 per share price.
2011 - ED found new shares allotment & sale unfair. Thus, transaction was subject to third-party auditing.
Auditors told KRSPL that price should have been 70-86 per share(for issue of 50L shares of KRSPL to SIIL) & sale of 40L shares from JCM to SIIL should've been 83-99 per share. As per CCI guidelines, 86 per share value was evaluated.
KKR’s Operations Snapshot:
Knight Riders Sports's operating revenues range is INR 100 Cr - 500 Cr for the financial year ending on 31 March, 2022. It's EBITDA has increased by 63.97 % over the previous year. At the same time, it's book net worth has increased by 20.70 %.
KKR’s Revenue Model:
KKR has been the first IPL team to turn profitable, they broke even in March 2012. They have emphasized on scaling up the brand merchandising and also build an official fan base on the Manchester United Model.
Currently KKR, third most successful IPL team, are the second-richest IPL team in the league with a net worth value of INR 740 crore. They are only behind Mumbai Indians (MI), who have a net value of INR 803 crore.

1. Media Rights: BCCI shares 40-50% of their broadcasting income (TV & OTT streaming) to IPL franchises based on league finish. Trophy winner will get the biggest share of the pie.
2. Sponsorships: Sponsors have to cough up anywhere between ₹10-12 crore for their logo to be carried on the back of the KKR jersey and between ₹8-22 crore for the front. KKR earns about 20-30% of their revenue from their sponsors: MyFab11, Lux Cozi, Joy Personal Care, Money9, Jio, Royal Green, and Acko. Tire Company, Balkrishna Industries are the main sponsors of the team.
3. Stadium tickets and gate passes: Eden Garden has the capacity to host 80,000 people, is the third-largest cricket stadium in terms of seating capacity. Franchise also sells gate passes and adds more money to their wallet.
4. Merchandise Sale: KKR launched the ‘Shop KKR’ website to establish a strong connection with its fans. They sell trending products such as jerseys, shorts, caps, T-shirts, and keychains. In 2023, SRK launched the ‘Knight Club app’ to strengthen his team’s special bond with fans.
5. Prize Money: If KKR win the IPL trophy they receive about 20 Cr., for second place: 13 Cr, third place: 7Cr & 4th pace: 6.5 Cr. Half of the prize money is distributed among the players only.

UK T20 Team[The Hundred]:
Even though there is no update on which particular team Knight Rider’s group are after. I’m certain they are most likely eyeing London Spirit. KKR CEO Venky Mysore implied that he might want to change the name of his to-be Hundred team. SRK also has a winter holiday home in London from many years. He visits UK with his family & friends around December end, every year. SRK's UK T20 team has to be London Spirit.
In fact, Lords cricket stadium [home ground of London Spirit] is about 1.5 miles from his London Mansion based in Park Lane, next to Hyde Park. Current London Spirit Ownership has 6 co-owners, who are mostly England Cricket Board Offcials.
Byju’s:
Though SRK has been signed up as brand ambassador, there are speculations that he also holds an undisclosed stake in Byju’s. Just like his investment in KidZania India, we don't know how much amount is invested. He’s definitely holding a minority stake.
KidZania India:
A Mexican edutainment brand's first project in Mumbai cost around Rs 100 crore and was launched in June 2013 at R City Mall in Mumbai’s Ghatkopar area. The centre is spread over more than 70,000 square feet.
Another KidZania park is located at the Entertainment City in Noida with a standalone structure across three levels and 97,000sq.ft. Apart from Mumbai & Delhi-NCR, third park in Bengaluru will be opened soon.
SRK’s actual investment in KidZania India is unknown but he holds about 26% stake.

Endorsement Deals (Advertisements):
SRK started his endorsement journey back in 1988, when he signed up for Liberty Shoes since then he never looked back. After his TV stint won him recognition, SRK landed in Mumbai. One of his first assignments was an ad for Tata Tea. Interestingly, Khan returned to the same brand in 2013 with the Chhoti si shuruaat campaign for Tata Tea.
SRK is known to stick to quality brands for the longest time: his association with Hyundai has been about 25 years. He’s is often referred to as one of first employees of Hyundai India.
SRK’s endorsement associations with brands include Liberty, Hyundai, Byju's, Big Basket, Pepsi, Frooti, Whirlpool, Nokia, Dish TV, LUX, Denver, Airtel, Royal Stag, Sunfeast, Pan Vilas, Kent, Mitsbushi Air Conditioners, Goibibo, LML, Cinthol, Videocon, PharmEasy, Nerolac, DHFL, D'decor, Pepsodent, Jet Airways, Gitanjali Jewels, Colgate Palmolive, Signature, Sprite, Tata Tea, ICICI Bank, Streax, Omega, Hewlett-Packard, Hero Punch Power, Reliance Jio, Tag Huer, Belmonte, Mayur Suitings, Top Ramen, Bagpiper, Godrej, Emami and many more.
SRK's recent brand endorsement deals
SRK's endorsement deal with brands such as Pan Vilas(they paid 20Cr back in 2014) was the biggest celeb endorsement deal of the time.
In the past, SRK might have been available for big national/regional brands but from past few years he's been eyeing foreign endorsement deals such as Dubai Tourism, Netflix, LG, Cadbury, FoodPanda, Burjeel Holdings, Disney+ Hotstar, Coca Cola(Thumbs Up), etc.
SRK's been brand ambassador for over 50 brands throughout his ad campaigns career. He said because of his earnings from ads and weddings, he was able to upscale his movie's production and execute the script in the manner it deserved. He charges around 4-10 Cr per day for Ads.
Why Brands prefer SRK?
According to a TAM report, he adds over 3% share of volume on TV with average visibility of 4 hours per day across all TV Channels. Based on another report, he rakes up to 6% share of television advertisement market.
SRK's been a pioneer and gold standard of brand endorsements. Thats why even esteemed global brands like Tag Huer have signed him up as brand ambassador for over a decade now. Recently, his son's luxury streetwear brand D'Yavol X was sold-out within hours even though the prices were high.
​
Forbes India 2013 Cover emphasizing on Brand SRK
Director of Hasee Toh Phasee and ad filmmaker Vinil Mathew thinks SRK’s presence ensures maximum exposure. He says, “Shah Rukh Khan is the number one actor in the country. Any brand that wants to project itself as the number one product for its target group would want to associate with SRK. With him you also send across the message that you are the best just like him. It’s the best way to reach across the globe as well as to smaller towns. With him on board a brand wins the battle of perception.”
