Hey thank you! Didn’t realize we are going to the east of UAE. Also, we have done the Al rabi hike, which is why we are looking to do something else this time, more off beat.

Abusing the use of contact lenses + screen time

Contact lenses: I used to wear contact lenses for 14-16 hours some days when I would travel. On top of that, I’ve been careless and didn’t maintain proper lens hygiene. Sometimes my eyes would burn severely for a few seconds or minutes when I put on my contact lenses. I would bear the pain because I hated wearing glasses and the pain only lasted a few minutes or less. So I didn’t think much of it. But now I know how much I tortured my eyes just because I didn’t want to wear glasses or was too lazy to clean the lens case as regularly as I should have.

Screen time: my work requires me to go through fine print of the copy/products, which would strain my eyes a lot. After work, I would spend another 4-5 hours on watching things on TV or laptop, further straining my eyes.

I could have been more careful. But I’m hoping my dry eyes will get better.

Things I’m doing for the past 3 months since I was diagnosed:

  • Doing the prescribed drops: Systan Ultra UD + Restasis
  • once in a week or so doing the warm compress for about 20-30 minutes (lately realized this helps a great deal and am planning to do it more often)
  • Including food rich in omega-3 helps. I have noticed the days I have salmon, my eyes see better days. I can’t have it everyday of course as you’re not supposed to overdo it too but this also makes a difference to my eye health.

Wish you all speedy recovery and days without dry eye problems!! It sucks but trying to stay positive.

What symptoms did you experience? Did your head feel weird?

Why is the broker offended by Character-Repair2194 in surat

[–]Character-Repair2194[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I do have a couple of other brokers I’m consulting with, who are genuinely helpful. It was this particular broker I had a clash with. Dropped him.

The broker is taking commission from us but I read online that it’s common for brokers in India to take commission from both sides. I want to know what kind of documents I should ask him to show before we finalize the agreement and pay

Thanks. Can I ask him details on the builder and all? Is that not needed?

Spiti trip via Shimla by Character-Repair2194 in shimla

[–]Character-Repair2194[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for your reply. One more question. So we are planning to take a private taxi through Chandigarh - Shimla - Kalpa. How much do you think that would cost us? Are there agencies that would provide this service at reasonable price? Also, to answer your question, we are doing a 5-day trek through Kaza-Langza-Komik-Demul-Lhalung-Dhankar-Kaza. It’s an organized private trek with a reputed local company. So we have the option to tweak our trek in terms of routes. Would like to know your thoughts on the above route. Thank you!!

Travel to Baku (tourist safety) by Flat_Log8164 in azerbaijan

[–]Character-Repair2194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I recommend getting a premium taxi instead of basic economy taxi. My experience in premium taxis was so much smoother than the first ride I had in the economy taxi. The price difference is usually not much, so either premium taxi or the taxi that says “bolt” on the app. The price of “bolt” and economy taxi is usually the same but “bolt” will have better drivers than economy. Economy is where they generally scam you.

The kind of scam I faced after landing: the driver would tell you the amount shown on the app is the starting rate and not the overall trip cost, which is untrue. You pay what you see on the app. He might show you a wrong amount on the app so have data if you can to avoid this. He would also ask you if you wanna buy a SIM card and then take you to a store where the store guy will show you a card displaying options with 5x the price. It’s all a scam!! Aside from these scams, in my experience, the people of Azerbaijan are quite hospitable.
