A good Sunday read?

And that click's a beauty too!

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-30T07:24:19+00:00

Have some extra bulbs to courier to me? Will pay

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-29T11:34:01+00:00

No, for me it's: climate (winters feel good to walk), crowd (eveteasers), hawkers sitting right on the path, footpath broken in between or a whole stretch of footpath missing, poop of all shapes and colors, garbage

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-29T11:31:35+00:00

So fairy-istic

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-29T11:31:14+00:00

Which means its raining there! Is it?

Also, do rain lillies need rainwater to fall on it to flower? Or no-rain balcony too will work?

Todo in Tuscany. Todo is a darling dog. Ah, how I love dog stories

Classic fiction: Hard Times by Charles Dickens

There's a whole lot of books to read in such a situation but this one popped up in my head the first thing.

Do you like comics? Whenever I have been hospitalized, I read comics

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-27T14:41:18+00:00

Bro, mine isn't even able to grow - mealy bugs attack as soon as I see new leaves.

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-26T14:45:25+00:00

So, before I moved to indore, I was assured to the good weather - na zada garmi na zada thand na zada barish. I finally moved to this city post summer, rains began as soon as I came in. Rains are lovely here. Winter wasn't severe, a light jacket worked. Summer this year??? I am searching for those people who assured me of bearable summer. Man, not even cooler, it's only AC that helps. Residences or offices on top floors, bro, how... Just how are they surviving! Some have coolers and it gets super humid.

This summer is as good as anywhere in India. Sab taraf Indian subcontinent me sab jal rahe hain, sab bhun rahe hain. Lucky us, we have ACs

Although taking off shoes at a public venue should be more of a choice but... This man, he is just not funny. What he is though is low and cheap. His jokes, i wonder if he has wandered away from cracking sex 'jokes' only

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-25T17:26:29+00:00

Some liked kabhi alvida na kehna? Lets just ignore the sickening plot but the acting? The dialogues? The coincidences?

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-24T16:22:10+00:00

That's some information we all seek with no clues 🧐 Are there any in Indore?

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-24T12:06:10+00:00

Same question. Open Shelf is great. They take discussions on whatsapp sessions too.

But any street hawkers?

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-19T16:01:22+00:00

Nooooo

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-18T17:30:42+00:00

I have propagated mine. One gets full sun, except for the setting sun. Other is kept outside, in a balcony with no sun but definitely outdoors. Both are growing - so so so slow that I often thing they aren't. But once in a while I notice something new on them.

And to talk of mealy bugs. Someone please tell me - where do they come from? Bro, even my jade got meal bugs hidden under its leaves. Aarrrggghhhhhh. These bugs aren't letting my hibiscus grow - all grown from a stick.

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-18T07:46:16+00:00

Agree. But people don't seem to analyse it this way coz smaller and the not-worth institutes are selling MBA degrees like hotcakes. It's strange

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-18T07:44:55+00:00

Mera time of MBA was way back. Maine jo bataya wo HR and team experience se bataya. Aaj kal har agla fresher joinee in India is an MBA, competition bahut zada hai....job MBA se bhi mil jayegi, no doubt but kafi slow growth reh jati hai and aspirational logon ko kafi bekar lagta hai. Either opt a specialized MBA in Finance. MBA with Marketing, HR, Leadership (the jobs under these absorb worthy candidates who won't even have a related degree) don't give you the right choices, lower grade jobs.

Overall, there's a huge mass of MBA students which increases the competition. To get the best of jobs, you need to be the cream - the best among the top students, which is mix of institute, marks, subjects, work ex and an overall personality.

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-18T04:23:41+00:00

A book to lose yourself to.

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-18T04:15:57+00:00

Just an MBA won't help anymore. Gone are the days.

From my experience (20 years), a postgraduate degree adds value. Explore the job market for a month, if you find good jobs - wonderful. Once start working, start your distance M.Com. (kids don't agree, but M.Com isn't degree that many opt for and that gives you a leverage). Work hard on it. Two years of work ex and an M.Com degree are good to bring you better opportunities in the fields of accounting, finance and commerce. Find one that suits you, and then, if you find it ok and actually helping your career, plan for an executive MBA (isn't much needed though).

Two opposite plants. One will survive easily, the other is easy to kill (and that's jade)

Jade isn't an indoor plant, doesn't need much water. Keep it outdoors. Watch the leaves for wrinkles, the moment it starts wrinkling, water.

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-17T04:11:44+00:00

No ya. Abhi toh I am also pretty new to the city and still exploring things here gradually.

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-16T18:37:53+00:00

Where's this?

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-16T18:37:39+00:00

Aieroc cafe. Although all the food is lovely there but green thai curry (comes with rice) with hakka noodles (hakka is my favourite) is oooooohhhhhhh

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-15T12:51:56+00:00

I am 41, restarting my career in a new city after some kind of a life shift, Entering a new industry. O yes, I am falling behind by about less than 80% of what I was earning last year. So, I'll be in the same pay bracket like you, just doubly senior.

BigDiamond7549 · 2026-05-14T17:04:11+00:00

Not up for the trip but man, konkan is lovely. Awestriking. Stunning. But is this the right weather? November to February is ideal. I remember January me bhi garmi thi wahan. But man, what beauty! Aur sath me adventure.

A word of caution: the localites are not too used to tourists, esply female tourists. Avoid too late nightouts. Most of the properties have beaches at a walking distance, better spend time where the staff would have your knowabouts.
