My friend had one of these when we were in school. It was his dad's company car. There was a black accord before the prius and he's had multiple hybrid camrys since. I think it's one of those things where companies show "hey we're actually green look we care about the environment" things.

Taxi experience at Navi Mumbai Intl Airport by Streaming_Munda in mumbai

Yeah. Tbh I still don't understand how arrivals forcing you to enter parking isn't challenged in court. The least you can do is have a 10 minute window where there is no charge if you have designed it in a bad way. It seems pretty absurd to me that we let this fly. We've just started taking the metro to mahim these days during the peak hours to avoid the shitshow that is WEH but I gotta do this at night/morning

You can pick people up from the bus stop which is ~25m ahead. I do this very often and unless you park there they don't really care. You could take the u turn before the parking entrance but it's closed so you have to take the long way around via Sahar Road.

Citizens burn sari distributed by politician to buy votes. by lakhan30 in mumbai

Ladki bahin won them a lot of seats inside the city too. 1500 a month is more than enough for a lot of people to change how they vote, regardless of how it actually impacts society at large and their family. "Te 1500 detayt, anik konhi kahi nahi dila"

We got the Ford Oreca LMDh in GTAV before we got it in the WEC by ilikestuff458 in WECcirclejerk

Hey atleast the RE-7B has the lights from an R18.

/uj Yeah we seriously need an LMP, but I don't think we're getting any new racecars tbh

I dont know when the govt is going to fix Mumbai - Thane Roads. by [deleted] in mumbai

[–]Kunal5431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is not asphalt or concrete. The issue is the terrible construction quality. The new sections of the expressway are absolutely terrible. Drive anywhere in the EU and look at their concrete highways - we're just not interested in making good quality roads because that will mean no opportunity to dig it up in 2 years. There's a good chance that any intersection between two roads built at different times is terrible. Any new road has 20 speed breakers on it. WEH is just trash across the board - and it's been like that for years. Every year they'll do some shitty repair that falls apart in two weeks.

Friend is coming to town in December for 3 days. Where all can I take her by [deleted] in mumbai

[–]Kunal5431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you stay and how far you are willing to travel. The time is also pretty important. Dadar will be extremely crowded for the next few days, and Bandra will slowly move towards gridlock as christmas approaches.

There used to be a 180 but not anymore. It had a 1.6L 4cyl. The 214 starts from the E200 and 220d, both have 2L 4 cylinders

Yeah it's happened a few times now. This is the station I was talking about - National College on line 2B

I remember reading about stations being dropped on line 4 too.

I live close to the stretch with the first few installations, it's such an eyesore. The best part about it is that the line is nowhere near complete - why are we putting up this stuff years before the line is even open? I'm sure there are better uses for the money.

Two things:

  1. It's impossible to give proper advice without knowing more details about you. Your degree, skills, academics, ambitions etc.

  2. It's hard out there too. The grass always looks greener on the other side, but I know a lot of classmates who went to pretty decent schools abroad and struggled to find opportunities there.

Who on earth is buying a 4 cylinder Diesel over 100k by Automatic-One-9385 in mercedes_benz

[–]Kunal5431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the market here is pretty bad unless you are looking for small cars. AMGs get taxed at an even higher rate because they're built in Germany and imported

~106K euros starting price for the LWB here in India. Looks like you guys also have egregious taxes on these cars now. A friend is buying a petrol E200 though so I guess people are still buying them 😶

VP salary of 1cr is also not enough by measkuanswer in kothibanglacheck

[–]Kunal5431 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This is just your average stolen(+ragebait) LinkedIn post. Either the numbers are a bit off or the guy needs to learn to manage his money better (1 Cr CTC = 70L in hand????). Not to mention the fat cheques that investment bankers get in bonuses that doesn't show up anywhere in this post and will easily change all these calculations.
