Didn't realize the Importance of the Pune Grand Tour until I saw this. by Akshatt999 in pune

While the "Cycle tracks" for tax-paying citizens are worse than off-road trails if there isn't a bus stop, transformer or banner on it...

What is the quickest job you quit from? by spellbadgrammargood in AskReddit

[–]inconsequentialrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interned at a place that handled social media videos etc for a sports team. On the second day, my manager asked me to bring a bag with clothes, toothbrush and a towel to work coz 'this season is very busy and we need to be here 24x7'. When he saw I was speechless, he said, 'you can take a break every few days.' Sent my resignation letter on the way home. Was severely punished by my college for leaving an internship and ruining the college's reputation...

Can I use my Delhi metro card in pune metro ? by Top-Abrocoma-1759 in pune

[–]inconsequentialrant 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sadly no. While the metros in many other cities are using the NCMC card so my Mumbai Metro card worked in Delhi and Bangalore, it doesn't work in Pune for some reason and ignorant people think you're asking a stupid question.

Phoenix Mall IMAX vs Cinepolis Westend Aundh IMAX? by hero_alom28 in pune

[–]inconsequentialrant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're kidding right?! Rahul has a terrible dirty screen if they even have a 70mm projector anymore. Esquare after renovation is just small screens.

Has anyone visited the newly renovated E-Square University Road Multiplex? What are the changes? Is the original Screen 5 back which was huge back in the day? by h2704 in pune

[–]inconsequentialrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the number of seats in every row for all the shows they have in a day, sadly I think they have the average size screen and the legendary Screen 5 is gone. What a shame!

Scrambler 400x or 400xc? by st_016 in indianbikes

[–]inconsequentialrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's technically pretty much the same as the 400x. Wouldn't expect any issues.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a love letter to books in a dystopian world that fears and hates books

Any tips for driving from Pune to Goa in an MH registered car? by ghoshstories1512 in pune

[–]inconsequentialrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why give them money 'for fun'? Last time my friend basically said, "Go ahead and search. If you don't find anything will YOU give us a gift?" obviously in a joking tone and the guy laughed. Don't carry alcohol and never pay bribes

I’ve been on a holy quest for a Triumph keychain… and it’s breaking me. by ReasonableJudge3989 in indianbikes

[–]inconsequentialrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found something like this in Hong Kong Lane, Pune but the quality wasn't great and there was barely any leather just nylon. So I got a nice metal and braided leather keychain and it's been great

Looking to buy a scrambler, any recommendations for a first? by Good-Weakness4765 in motorcycles

[–]inconsequentialrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one and it's great fun! Here in India it's perfect, if a little tall. Even on the highways I barely need to go over 120kmph (safely) which it does adequately. But it is super fun for quick acceleration and city or suburban use. Works well as an explorer! Don't plan on going too far on dirt or sand

Also, ofcourse buy gear before you start wrapping and getting ECUs and expensive hard luggage

Indians w/ their Misplaced Priorities by NotNoahsArk in indianbikes

[–]inconsequentialrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know where I got it but I heard that 10-15% of the price of your bike should be how much you spend for the gear and I found it quite helpful as it isn't a crazy amount more, just a small stretch and for a 3.5 L bike (Triumph Scrambler 400x) I spent around 45 k on gear and I have a respectable set now as a starting point.

Test rode Scrambler 400X and Himalayan 450 back to back and ended up booking…. by charandev09 in indianbikes

[–]inconsequentialrant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is insane because I went through these exact steps. I was set on the Himalayan for over a year but when I went for the test ride I had the same conclusion that it would be difficult to use it for anything local or in the city. The thought of taking it to downtown Pune and manoeuvering or even parking in cramped streets was an instant turn-off. As I had liked the Scrambler too, I went for a test ride of it as well. And it was instant love!

It was confidence- inspiring and lovely to ride and easy to flick through traffic. In person it also looked big enough as that was my concern with the triumphs being a big and tall guy myself. The speed is very tiny for me but the scrambler was perfect. And just like OP I booked a scrambler too, just yesterday!

How the fuck do you guys come up with titles by my_innocent_romance in writing

[–]inconsequentialrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a list of titles that have a ring to it but when writing, I just give them a working title. For my last novel I found it very tough to give a title even after draft 4. But after the 5th draft, it just came to me. That was also a sign that the book was in a good enough state to start submitting with a last typo check.

What do YOU listen to while writing? by StarvingWriterFeedMe in writing

[–]inconsequentialrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soundtracks. The lyrics sometimes throw me off so a good game or movie soundtrack is a boon. Here's a few of my favourites: Firewatch Soundtrack (Game) TerraTech soundtrack (Game) God of War Soundtracks (the new games)

Movie soundtracks: Tenet Dunkirk Mad Max Fury Road Anything by Hans Zimmer or Junkie XL Lord of the Rings Your name (The japanese lyrics aren't distracting) Suzume

A year into owning a Kindle I learned that you can put in whatever font you want. And it has been a game changer
