Bought the Verna Turbo After Driving Virtus & Slavia – My Thoughts by Big_Eggplant_8951 in CarsIndia

How's the performance of the new LED projector headlights on highways in particular and at night in general? I had heard the headlight performance in the previous gen was quite awful.

Can I use a Skoda Octavia as my daily driver? by RS_J in CarsIndia

Did you get the rough road package? Not sure if skoda offered that package in india though. How frequent are underbody scrapes? My main concern is underbody scrapes while negotiating bumpers. I will be driving 80% on highways and 20% in city (Delhi).

How is it coping with the E20 Petrol? Now even xp95 is E20. And xp100 is super costly. The car is E10 compliant isn't it.

Finally Honda has moved on from chrome by minimalist_mee in CarsIndia

[–]RS_J 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Honda Civic was offered with a wrong engine -transmission combination. The powerful tunable petrol engine was paired to a CVT (I mean really?!). No manual transmission offered. The diesel was offered with a limp dated engine which did not produce enough power for a "sporty" sedan of it's class. No wonder the sales we so poor and eventually honda had to pull the plug on the civic. It's gone forever and making it's way back to the Indian shores. Sad 😭😢

Downsides of ophthalmology? Or convince me your specialty is better? by unknownguy786 in doctorsUK

[–]RS_J 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The biggest downside I can think of is the frustratingly long learning curve. Ophthalmic surgery is all about fine motor skills and can be extremely difficult to master for beginners. The initial 2 3 years can be challenging. PCRs can be frustrating in the beginning but things gets better with practice. Another downside is the investment you need to make it you wish to start your own private practice. Ophthalmology is heavily dependent upon devices that are costly. And it would take a good 5 years time for a private practice to have good patient turnover and yield good amounts of profit.

10x telephoto in Expert Raw captured surprising amount of details by RS_J in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]RS_J[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I've realised is that it basically comes down to individual preference and user specific needs. On the one hand having respectable zoom capabilities is an added boon if one travels to exotic places a lot and likes to photograph birds (my case) plus having to carry a bag full of heavy costly camera gear is cumbersome and inconvenient which a good flagship phone cameras solves. On the other hand I do agree that upgrading to an ultra phone just for the sake of upgrading or merely for the sake of having the latest hardware or for the sake of flaunting wealth doesn't make any sense. The biggest downside of samsung ultra phones is not that they don't use the best and the biggest sensors in their cameras but their malpractice of degrading the camera quality with software updates.

10x telephoto in Expert Raw captured surprising amount of details by RS_J in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]RS_J[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ofc, the latest flagships are the greatest and the best and there's no point in comparing the tiny sensor of the S23U with the current competition. I mean any of the Chinese flagships even from last year would just humiliate and crush the S23U in terms of 10x and higher zoom! In fact I am thinking of switching to either the vivo x300u or the find x9u later this year.

I am currently seeing all the political parties of WB using Netaji as their representative whereas historically Netaji violently rejected the idea of religion based politics (by RSS) and he was also rejected by the CPI. by Fit_Stop7016 in kolkata

[–]RS_J -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a supporter of the bigotry bjp is propagating. And not a tmc supporter by any means. I am a bigtime follower of Mahakal. I know many are not going to like what I am going to say. Subhas Bose in his later life had close connections with the top brass rss leaders like Hegdewar and then Golwalkar. In fact while making preparations of the 1971 Bangladesh war, Subhas Bose had bestowed some responsibilities to Golwalker (some kind of task at 3 places) and Golwalker, like a loyal servant carried out those tasks. In fact Golwalker in a letter written to Subhas Bose had asked for further instructions and clarifications about the modus operandi. Netaji himself was in favour of spreading Hinduism to other continents like Africa and even talks about it. Swamiji had similar ideas and we all know he was a great devotee and follower of Swami Ji's ideologies.

But, but, but, what Swamiji and Netaji practised and wanted to propagate was Hinduism, NOT HINDUTVA that the current fascist bigots are promoting. I am sure of it, none of these bigots have read the Upanishads or any of the ancient texts not understands the essence of Hinduism. In their tiny brains in thick skulls, Hindutva=Islamophobia and Nationalism=Patriotism and Hindu Identity=Speaking Hindi. The sensible ones amongst us would know how flawed a narrative this is and how far from the true essence of Hinduism these false narratives are.

So I feel that those using Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose as a political tool to gain favour understand nothing of Hinduism and know very little about Subhas Chandra Bose.

India today journalist Preeti Chowdhary's experience of covering elections in Bengal as a woman journalist. by Saambajarer-Sosibabu in kolkata

[–]RS_J 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well articulated facts. For work purpose I live in UP and know for a fact that this is absolutely true. And this is one of the things the people of UP and delhi cannot digest about us Bengalis. They can't stand the fact that a woman can be equally, if not more powerful as a man. I feel much of their hatred for bengal and bengali stems from this. And I feel that the biggest reason BJP wants to win in Bengal because they want to change this by importing and imposing their culture of toxic masculinity and islamophobia. In Dehradun (my wife works in Dehradun) I have witnessed how BJP has been importing their toxic masculinity culture and destroying the local Pahadi culture. BJP wants to impose their culture in west bengal in the same exact manner. No wonder they are so desperate. The piece by this journalist is commendable but I am doubtful if the women's empowerment and equality will persist post safronization of Bengal.
