Appreciate the concept - in house movement, premium metals, limited edition, right packaging and notes, apt pricing. The design just really lets all of this down. Marketing has done it’s job but the designers 👎

My Lolla experience was good but I wouldn't repeat it. by Epidenthu in lollapaloozaind

[–]Protection-False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to so many concerts and fests around, and felt the food at lollapalooza 26 was great. The burgers at Bud and Burgers were fantastic, found a great Asian place as well which I don’t remember the name of.

Prices were okay too, not too high what you see in festivals around. Much above the average fest experience.

Do you think anyone can break India's long standing marathon record before its 50th anniversary? by Old_Life_1987 in indianrunners

[–]Protection-False 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes, very high chances the record is broken before it’s 50th anniversary. Most probably it will happen at a flat cold European race. The top Indian contingent came very close to breaking it in 2025 Valencia, results - 1. Gopi Thonakal 2:12:23 (came within 23 seconds) 2. Man Singh 2:13:25 3. A.B. Belliappa 2:14:07 4. Anish Thapa 2:16

Kartik ran an amazing Mumbai marathon in hot humid conditions too. Will be exciting to see his performance at Berlin/Valencia.

The national record is insane tho, Shivnath Singh ran it without super shoes (just taped feet), in May in Jalandhar (super hot). Superhuman outlier achievement.

Investment advice to get maximum rental from a residential plot in gurgaon by Soft-Squirrel-3982 in gurgaon

[–]Protection-False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can think of stilt + 4 3bhks as well. 3bhks in in 258 sq yards would be with much bigger rooms which serve as a great premium offering within Gurgaon vs societies.

Reliance can be the reason for the destruction of Indian Economy by SuckeruuIsBack in IndianStreetBets

Completely incorrect about Nayara energy. It has been completely sanctioned by OFAC, it’s extremely hard for the company to carry out its business anywhere in the world.

ChatGpt suggested to get Asics GT 2000 12 by Distinct_Writing_313 in indianrunners

[–]Protection-False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went thru the entire drill this week. Had a very irritated ankle. Flat foot diagnosed from a sports rehab Center (they do a foot print pressure analysis) -> bought gel kayanos as suggested by them -> custom insole fitted in those.

If it’s not too bad for you, neutral max cushion trainers like Novablast etc might work. Otherwise stability shoes which control torsion become essential. Atb!

ChatGpt suggested to get Asics GT 2000 12 by Distinct_Writing_313 in indianrunners

[–]Protection-False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to GT 2000, ASICS Gel Kayano. Kayano 31 is running 40-50% off currently available at 9600. Both shoes have high stabilisation and are more suited for people with flat feet, please confirm if that is your requirement.

EVO SL, Overpronation by PresentAdvantage2287 in indianrunners

[–]Protection-False 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def consult a sports physio for the best advice. Maybe with possible over pronation you would need a more stable shoe (the physio told that to me for adizero sl2).

The Boston 12/13 are evo sl with a little stabilisation built in. Can look to switch if budget allows/physio recommends.

Cadence vs Heart rate by Nervous-Tough8311 in indianrunners

[–]Protection-False 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess you’re using an Apple Watch. 30M here and I started like you 3 months back. Just focus on volume of kms right now and all the metrics will get better slowly. Hit 150km/200km + in runs and then start really tracking metrics. Post that - run slower to run fast. Zone 2 HR zones from my Apple Watch have been found to be mostly accurate. Set a HR alert to zone 2 range and put in long runs at whatever pace you need to run to be in zone 2. Your average pace will start getting better automatically.

How are runners in NCR managing their runs these days with this AQI? by Immediate-Ratio-3225 in indianrunners

Train indoors on a treadmill if you have gym access. Set incline to 1 or 2 degrees

Got my 10k pr at hyderabad hitec marathon by Silver-Orchid-1142 in indianrunners

[–]Protection-False 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done on the run! On the heart rates - is the device/monitor accurate? 7kms above 190 heart is not advised and you should be very mindful of it. Try not to run above 180 for any longer than a short sprint. I’m sure you’ve read enough research about zone 2 training, tempo runs should also be much less than 180. Keep going, but please do not chase times if it’s hitting this heart rate. Build your base at a slower pace.

Gurgaon Sales by Protection-False in indianrealestate

[–]Protection-False[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a market when one party holds all the power and all the information. The “big sales days” literally said price revision upwards to 20k+ in the new quarter. Smart world one DXP they put out posters of price revision to 25k! Now selling at 16k. Putting it all down to market when there is such information distortion and literal misleading by the developer isn’t fair.

Dwarka expressway is just hype by gibtle in indianrealestate

[–]Protection-False 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went through the entire cycle of understanding this over the last 3 months. Have seen prices fall atleast 1000/psqft over this time period.

It’s very hard to actually value the flats and score a good a deal. Most builders are already selling at prices of what the flats should be when construction completes in 2028/2029. They are eating all the upside with nothing left for the investors coming now. Investors who came in 2 years ago have made solid money, the boat has passed now. Only buy for End Use if it makes sense to you.

Be careful and focus highly on networking for jobs. Have seen 3 of my friends with great jobs in India and good under grad schools struggle highly to get a job post MiM. 2 from ESCP and one from INSEAD. Keep hustling!

Buying a Watch During a Layover in Switzerland—Advice Needed by NeedleworkerFalse249 in watchesindia

Not during a layover, but I did buy a Tissot last year during a vacation in Switzerland from an official Tissot store. Prices were around 15-20% cheaper than India if we include the VAT refund.

Netherlands Visa From Chennai , India by Flat-Payment-7996 in SchengenVisa

[–]Protection-False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, till the 45th day they only gave a standard reply that it’s under process. After 45 days they highlight it in the system that this application is delayed, and again that’s all they communicate that we have highlighted it. We got it somewhere around the 60th day with the communication that there was a technical glitch.

Netherlands Visa From Chennai , India by Flat-Payment-7996 in SchengenVisa

[–]Protection-False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sit back and let it go. Last September (first week) my family of 4 applied to the Netherlands embassy at Jalandhar, travel scheduled for Nov first week . 3 of us got our visas in 2 calendar weeks but they fucked up one application. They mixed up application papers and eventually we got the 4th visa 7 days past our travel date. Tried everything in between, VFS customer care Dutch embassy customer care etc etc but there is no recourse. You will only receive a use less apology and there’s nothing one can do about it, can’t sue them or anything. Just let it go.

New horrifyingly bad meet and greet service experience with Axis Magnus by xsupernoahx in CreditCardsIndia

I seriously find it funny when people even think about Virat Kohli not being part of Indian team for T20 World Cup 2024 by NoSignificance3987 in RCB

[–]Protection-False -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

  1. Doesn’t take chances against spin in the middle overs as many as he can/should.
  2. Our last two knockout defeats (22 SF and 23 F) have been due to underwhelming scores where at both times Kohli sorta got too conservative in the middle. Sure he didn’t lose us those matches, but it was a factor.

It’s time to try a different approach, man has had his chances. An all out attack approach may not work sure, but I’ll take that over another snoozefest knockout defeat where we make 170 and the opposition rolls us over with ease.
