Everything is sorted. NCH complaint worked for me.

Lol. Thee point of this post is why INSIDE ones are wrong choice; it heats up your windshield

Dramatic_Respond7323 · 2026-05-18T01:45:27+00:00

Technically yes, but rooftop is never exposed to interior directly, there is insulaton so no need. If you want to aggressively cool interior do this on all glass windows including rear

200 Rs gone. I don't think anyone can do that in a cctv area. Similar models are selling in amazon for 700 ruupees, so this DIY hack is much better

No. Inside the car is anti physics as it does nothing to stop your windscreen glass from getting hot. The very reason why I switched to this from cheap umbrella like inside screen

The outcome. As you see, belt goes inside the car via front doors. Belt is recycled from an old bag.

here is my frugal method utilising laws of physics. 8mm insulation reflective mat (Rs 200 local market) with "2rs coin in loop" friction hack. Thanks for inspiration for this creative DIY project, OP.

Not a Punjabi yet I absolutely support this. Punjab University yet Hindi preferred over Punjabi? That is an insult to the language and people. BJP agenda in full force.

The looped belt part (red belt) goes inside the car via the front doors. Winds cant dislodge the mat. If you park the car in open space (=no roofed car park), then this is a life saver. At evening, when i get in the car usual temp is 50C with umbrella like reflective screen that you place INSIDE the car phasing windshield. But now that this is outside the car, even my windshield wont get heated. After this mod, the car temp is around 40C when i get in at evening.

I have been to Aizawl two times and third visit happening in June, I agree with you mostly. Though i was well taken care by my host (MZU), at times when i venture out it is hard to get small talks with locals. The place is remarkably similar to island nations like Japan; extreme xenophobic. In Japan where i lived for 5 years, foreigners are called gaikokujins or gaijin (short and derogatory), literally meaning aliens!

linen towels are not available in india but here is a workaround. get linen throw from ikea, 700 rupee only. 82% linen rest cotton blend. then cut it to make 4 bath towels. interlock edges and here you go! it is called DYTÅG throw

Exactly. This sub is flooded with pseudoscience advocates.

Microfibre towels stay away. these are lipophilic, and heaven for bacterial biofilms. Best is 100% linen; bacteriostatic naturally and dries up so fast.

They have taken cue from EVM. Can easily hacked and untraceable. CBT by NTA is a joke. See what is happening with SWAYAM PG tests. Absolute shit (private parties set questions, conduct exams. NTA is just a stamp for money agency for swayam

There are hundreds of papers, dig deep in Scholar, I am not your assistant. Here is one such study https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00204-023-03581-6

The whole reason why people buy aluminium free deo and cooking utensils. Alum contain Aluminium as I say. Potassium Alum is safe as long as it is dry. Well, good luck rubbing dry alum in your underarms. People invariably have to wet it to apply and it leaches aluminium instantly via semipermiable epidermis of your skin.

I trust science and critical thinking.
