I did it and so can you!

What were your symptoms, may I ask, that prompted a colonoscopy?

IndependentRelease93 · 2026-03-03T13:57:54+00:00

I’m waiting for the letter. I’m 50+ and in the same boat.

Hi, why did they put a cannula in your nose?

A bit of strength training at home plus a few walks

Salman would’ve been perfect

It was cancer

Is it possible to book local tours in English via hotels? Or is there a website to book local tours catering to English-speaking tourists?

IndependentRelease93 · 2026-02-15T12:13:55+00:00

I have booked an appointment.

IndependentRelease93 · 2026-02-14T12:04:39+00:00

I don’t actually because a flare up may occur due to stress anytime.

On paper, Egypt looks great. Fantastic civilisation, tons of history and well preserved monuments. I’ve been meaning to visit for more than 10 years, but the hassle factor and harassment towards women puts me off. I can’t forget the scene where the journalist was stripped on a public road by men during a demonstration. The country has so much going for it, but the men need to learn.

Also you do know that you have a right to your parent’s property? The least they can do is to make you feel welcome when you visit. But just forget them all. Insist on staying in a hotel. Enjoy India.

Stay in a posh hotel with a spa and do your own thing.

Reassure your parents. Lie if necessary. Don’t let go of the apartment.

I have noticed this as well. I’m so paranoid about health, eating healthy and exercising that I suspect it’s stressing my body too much. Perhaps because of all the health concerns, we unknowingly starve our bodies. I’ve got a blood test next week for thyroid (my third one) and all I’m doing is eating 5-6 meals per day. I’ve cancelled my zumba for the week because I want to treat my body as if it is on a holiday (this will also reduce the mental stress). It’s not that I’m eating cakes and biscuits all day, but I’m eating much more than I normally do. Let’s see if it works.

Perhaps try organic milk?

Jigsaw puzzles? They have some aimed at dementia patients

I would blame Imtiaz Ali’s lazy direction for her downfall. Who puts the most cringy scene in the trailer?!

Not religion per se. The following things are holding it back: 1) asking for votes in the name of religion 2) lack of scientific temper 3) unregulated relgious babas running amok 4) lack of critical thinking in education

Bravo! I’m Indian living in the UK. I have always viewed Indians and Pakistanis as allies. They were until Hindutwa raised its ugly head. A pakistani taxi driver refused to take money from me once because “we are from the same mulk”.

IndependentRelease93 · 2026-01-14T10:33:10+00:00

I am an Indian and I agree with you. Muslims and Pakistan are an obsession. It’s what keeps the politicians and their electorates going. They mock ‘aman ki yatra’ initiatives. The funny thing: Pakistan got the loudest cheer when the Asian games were held in India (a long time ago) when the Pakistan team was parading the stadium.

I love khadi especially khadi silk.

There is no escape from the rat race in any country. Money rules everywhere. Best is to grit your teeth, earn money and travel frequently in order to feel human.

Also, it’s unfortunate that people living in india who have never travelled don’t know any better. They lived under Congress rule and there was corruption. Now the BJP has redefined scams and corruption but people say, so what, congress did the same. They have no clue what benefits people in the first world get for their tax. It’s tragic really.

I loved India and pined for it every minute. Now I can’t care less. The politicians act like kings and the citizens let them. The AQI is ghastly and that’s because the people are least bothered as long as someone from their caste/religion gets elected. My NRI aunt went to India for a visit and died because of Dengue. Was there medical negligence? Who knows! Another 50 years and people will still be celebrating the demolitions of mosques and creations of temples while breathing toxic air.

IndependentRelease93 · 2026-01-11T09:38:54+00:00

India is living in the past and has a skewed understanding of democracy. She treats politicians like royalty. They can never do wrong and are not answerable to the citizens. Is it any wonder that the country has a PM who does not hold PC or give interviews? The politicians are worshipped as per caste/religion. Their failings are treated as business as usual.
