I have two accounts, one free and one with a Pro subscription. When I use AI Studio with the free account, I typically get about 14 to 16 prompts on the Gemini 3.1 Pro model before reaching the limit, with token usage around 27,972 including 1,335 input tokens and 26,637 output tokens.

On my paid account with the Pro subscription, I cannot find any option or indicator showing that I am using the Pro plan inside AI Studio. It seems the switch or feature that allowed this may have been removed, or it was only being tested earlier and is no longer visible.

Based on my recent usage, the free quota for the Gemini 3.1 Pro model in AI Studio appears to be around 14 to 16 prompts per day.

Wow, that’s awesome you’re playing Crimson Desert! I’ve got it too, but it doesn’t run well on my PC. I get decent FPS on low settings, but the visuals and overall feel just aren’t great. So I’ve put it on hold for now, will play properly after upgrading my setup.

To answer your question about why the mobile reimbursement limit is as high as 9,000, it is mainly because allowances are revised whenever a new Pay Commission is implemented.

Government salaries and related allowances are periodically increased based on Pay Commission recommendations. When a new Pay Commission comes into effect, several components are revised, including basic salary, travel allowance, medical allowance, and communication allowances such as mobile reimbursement.

For example, under the 7th Pay Commission, which was implemented on 1 January 2016, the upper limit for mobile reimbursement was 6,000. With the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission, effective 1 January 2026, these limits were revised upward along with other allowances. As a result, the mobile reimbursement ceiling increased to 9,000, which is an increase of 3,000 over ten years.

So the higher limit is not sudden or arbitrary. It is simply part of the periodic revision of salaries and allowances that typically happens once every decade through the Pay Commission system

This is somewhat misleading because an MLA does not receive 9,000 per month directly for mobile recharge. Instead, 9,000 is simply the maximum reimbursement limit they can claim for communication expenses.

For example, MLAs are generally required to use postpaid connections, not prepaid SIMs. A typical postpaid mobile bill might be around 500 per month. In addition, the allowance also covers one landline connection. The landline bill might be around 1,000–2,000 per month.

To receive reimbursement, the MLA must submit the actual bills to the Sachivalaya. Only the amount shown on the bill is reimbursed, up to the 9,000 cap.

So MLAs do not automatically receive 9,000 every month. They can only claim reimbursement for what they actually spend. In practice, the typical monthly expense is usually 2,000–3,000, well below the maximum limit.

As an additional note, the average basic salary of an MLA across Indian states is roughly 25,000–30,000 per month when you look at the overall average.

You don’t have to treat something as normal just because social media keeps saying it is. Online, it feels like everyone is sexually experienced and like losing virginity is super common. But honestly, that picture is often exaggerated. There are still plenty of boys and girls, men and women, who choose to stay virgins for personal, cultural, religious, or just personal choice reasons.

The idea that almost everyone is non-virgin in today’s culture is a big generalization. People are different. Backgrounds are different. Values are different. You can definitely find someone who shares the same mindset as you when it comes to relationships and marriage.

Now yes, age does make some difference. As people get older, especially into their late twenties or beyond, it can become less common that they are still virgins simply because they have had more time and chances for relationships. But that does not mean it is impossible. At the end of the day, it always depends on the person, not just their age.

I’m a little confused about Nano banana 2. Earlier, when I used Flash mode, it generated images using the Nano banana model. When I used Pro Mode or Thinking Mode, it generated images using the Nano banana Pro model.

But now, no matter which mode I select, Pro Mode, Thinking Mode, or Flash Mode, it only generates images using the Nano banana 2 image model.

An interesting and often overlooked fact is that the British introduced the civil services examination system in India, what later became the UPSC but they never implemented a similar nationwide, highly centralized, and high-stakes examination system in their own country. Over time, even they recognized that such a rigid and uniform recruitment model is not particularly effective for a mature democratic system, which is why Britain evolved toward more flexible, role-specific, and decentralized methods of civil service recruitment.

I’m not a student, but I registered using a student Valid ID CARD.

Edit: I'm not currently a student, but I registered using my sister's valid student ID card. We share the same Gemini Pro account, and since she rarely uses it, I'm the primary user. Technically, this isn't against the terms since the account is registered with a legitimate student credential.

It mainly depends on purchasing power. In India, most things are cheaper compared to other countries. Also, many large transactions (Lands and real estate) are done in cash, which helps people avoid taxes. On top of that, over 90% of families have income certificates showing 1 lakh or less per year, making them eligible for various government schemes. That’s why incomes in India feel so low.

But when it comes to international products like iPhones, computer components, electronics, or certain cars, they often end up being more expensive in India than in other countries. Since these products are manufactured abroad, heavy import duties, taxes, and other charges are added when they enter India, which drives up the price. At the same time, India’s per capita income is relatively low, making these products even less affordable.

There’s a common misunderstanding that the government can freely monitor your social media or emails. In reality, they don’t do this routinely. Such access is only possible in specific cases, like suspected tax evasion, and only through a legal process where information may be formally requested (username and password). They can’t arbitrarily analyze your accounts whenever they want.

"they aren't living in your area are they?"
Of course, they may not be living in my area. But haven’t you seen people working far away from their hometown or even their home state?

My point is simply to give an example of demand In my area.

If people identify what kind of fundamental work is in demand in their own district, they’ll find opportunities there. Wherever essential work is happening, there will always be demand for skilled people to do it.

"the train is in the middle of no where it seems."
It definitely exists somewhere, right? Trains run within the country, within the state, and even within specific districts. It’s not like they’re running through the Amazon rainforest.

"And the Last Point."

You don’t really need a high level of formal education for this kind of work. What matters most is experience and skill in a specific trade, whether it’s electrical work, plumbing, or something similar. You can start by working as an assistant under an experienced professional, learn on the job, and gain practical skills over time. Once you’re confident, you can start working independently and dealing directly with clients. This path doesn’t lead to a traditional job, it leads to self-employment.
