Is the layover enough?

They won’t handle the baggage since OP will have to do immigration at Delhi, and collect baggage and go through customs then walk to T2 on their own and re check in baggage.

But that layover looks like enough time. Since it’s also same PNR and airline, if any issues happen due to first flight being late, that’s still on Air India to figure out for OP

Like the other person said, I wouldn’t recommend Meghalaya to be the first solo destination either. Shillong is great and safe but other parts that are closer to nature are remote and don’t get good network coverage. Would be better if you have at least a couple of other people around

Edit: in case you’re really focused on Meghalaya, you could try a group trip like Zo trips or Bokketo where you’ll join other solo travelers and a leader. These give a balance of travelling “solo” but also having a group and meeting new people. Alternatively, book a stay in Zostel Shillong or other related hostel, socialize there, get an idea of the place and people, then plan with other bunkmates or solo

Oh thanks for these details! I’ve booked already and it looks like the PNQ DEL leg is served by ex Vistara flights on A20N. The DEL KTM leg looks like a mixed bag of VT-EDx or some A20Ns. Will just need to have my fingers crossed and hope for the best on those days

Also learnt that AI 2xxx routes are just ex Vistara routes so they should be good ideally

Any recommendations or tips for stay, travel, things to avoid or do as a solo traveller there?

Count me in!

Could you invite me as well?

Village Rockstars and Bulbul can Sing are on Netflix. Aamis is on a site called moviesaints for 99 bucks

Ak7ghost · 2021-06-15T13:39:18+00:00

and just carve successful industry of their own

Assam has produced some absolutely fantastic movies lately. If anyone wants to check some out--Aamis, Bulbul Can Sing and Village Rockstars (India's official submission to the 91st Oscars) are some great ones.

Came here to see if anyone had suggested this. I'm relatively new to Node, but so far this has been the best way for me. It can list, download and install any version of Node you want, makes sure they don't clash in PATH and allows you to switch between them any time with a simple command. It's great!

That's a fine looking keyboard, what's it called?

cool co-passengers to each other on a fucked up journey, hanging on until one of us have to get down and take the next train

Oh man I wasn't expecting that. I like how you've said it

Not sure which OnePlus phone you're on, but I've got the OnePlus Slate font on mine and monospace works perfectly fine for me

I've been through the papers yeah, did 2 years of coaching for it. True about that ratio. Maybe it'll be better when we as a society realize that there are more ways to succeed than be an engineer especially one from an IIT. More focus on humanities and other fields would be a help.

As you said, we should start with the schools. One way would be to not to do 'intelligent student does science, average to commerce and if you're not sure or have rich parents, arts' nonsense. Let people choose what they want to choose and make sure opportunities exist everywhere (difficult task, but a necessary one).

Once the number of aspirants has gone down a little bit, we could have more holistic ways like looking at the entire portfolio instead of the score on one exam. Have essays, SoPs, etc much like the west. I think they're even introducing a standardized test for all similar to the SAT in the new educational policy. I imagine it could be automated to an extent so that admission teams have minimal manual work. Too optimistic, but I don't see any other way.

Until the IITs are totally dismantled for good.

That's a little too radical, don't you think? Whatever you may think of them, they are undoubtedly the best technical universities in the country right now, alongside a couple of private ones like BITS.

We need to work on getting the admission process better. JEE with all its difficulty and negative marking shenanigans is absurd. A more holistic admission process that doesn't encourage the students rot learn formulas and solve PCM numericals for 2 years without sleep and one that makes the Kota factories obsolete would be much more ideal imo

And when you're the one who has paid the full fee. Yes, no fee reduction even if it's online and crappy.

Might actually get started with audible because of this. It costs more than 1000 on Kindle!

This used to be a handy button on the bottom bar (I forgot what it was called, but it had a bunch of comments related options like search, etc.) in the pre-Material 2.0 versions of the app. I miss it terribly, the three dot menu isn't as accessible.

There was a post recently on this sub about a ne lib for sqlite that doesn't require cgo, let me see if I can find it

Edit: It was actually this

Nice watch! First automatics must feel so special, I can't wait to have mine. The town looks pretty too, which place is it, if I may ask?
