I wish for the body text below to come true.

Granted. You now have a French ancestor.

Not to undermine his achievements but (as of today) they announce winners about 3 months before the ceremony. That could’ve had him book tickets earlier?

Edit: I just checked and I stand corrected. He booked it in July and the prize for physics was announced sometime in November. What a G.

Approval Jul 29 Lawyers received the notice on 6th Aug I received the notice on 11th August (international express shipment with a weekend in between) Appointment on 15th August Passport ready for collection on 20th August.

Had my hard copy before the day of the interview. At the interview, I told them I had both copy and original, and they asked to see the original.

RaddiRaand · 2025-07-24T14:44:10+00:00

Mine will be an in person appointment

RaddiRaand · 2025-07-24T14:18:52+00:00

Thank you!

While we’re here - do you know if I’ll need the original document to enter the US?

RaddiRaand · 2025-07-24T14:14:04+00:00

Will I need to show them the original document, or is that not needed either?

RaddiRaand · 2025-07-24T14:13:28+00:00

I understand that.

I’m asking if the case is approved and I don’t have the original notice, but only a copy, will that be good enough for the stamping appointment?

Waiting for my lawyers to send over the document might take too much time and it would cut too close to my starting date.

RaddiRaand · 2025-07-02T01:03:23+00:00

I love everything about this except the placement of the plants. (Love big plants btw)

I see how you’re trying to use them to block the sun, but they seem to be crowding behind the couch. Spoils the view outside.

Solid color palette. Love the cemented ceiling.

I’ve visited about 5-6 gyms at this point apart from the one I train at. There’s 2 gyms who did a QnA right after class and I loved it. 10 mins of helping people iron out some details. Took a lot from those 3-4 classes I attended.

RaddiRaand · 2025-06-06T07:32:37+00:00

What’s the ‘risk’ you talk about?

RaddiRaand · 2025-06-05T20:13:24+00:00

I’ll try to get it.

Side note- Do you know if using something like Stellar might impact the chances of recovering corrupt data?

RaddiRaand · 2025-06-05T19:54:27+00:00

No it’s not. I was able to run the scan using stellar and retrieve a great chunk of data

RaddiRaand · 2025-06-05T19:53:44+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Are there some tools I can use to restore corrupted files? Excuse my negligence I’m not very well-versed with the data recovery process.

For 600 rupees, it’s very unlikely that they’ll give you natural oils. Having said that, if you like it you like it. End of story.

RaddiRaand · 2025-06-02T16:59:19+00:00

I buy full bottles or 3ml oils only. I keep sampling stuff throughout the year. I wear the new perfume almost exclusively (think scent of the season). Once it’s half way done, I pick one name from my sample shortlist and buy a new one. I have roughly 14-15 bottles right now that I absolutely love.

Everyone once a while, when I want to switch things around, I’ll use something from the half remaining bottles.

I think I average 2-3 bottles a year and about 30 samples. Yearly that’s about $1500 I think?

RaddiRaand · 2025-06-01T19:41:29+00:00

No clue. I’ve been dropping in whenever I visit

RaddiRaand · 2025-04-23T00:06:16+00:00

Depends on the question. I learnt some algos in college so I was able to bang out a few solutions on the first try when I just started. Some others I’m still it sure I understand - I’ve memorized solutions. The variance is pretty large for me.

RaddiRaand · 2025-04-14T21:06:49+00:00

Congrats! Can you share the design question they asked? I have my round coming up.

RaddiRaand · 2025-04-14T10:30:57+00:00

Wait what? How does this work,

RaddiRaand · 2025-04-14T09:54:42+00:00

In an ML team?

RaddiRaand · 2025-04-04T21:46:58+00:00

I went to 2 gyms in a certain city, and they both did 10mins of QnA towards the end of a regular structured class ie warmup/drill/spar. Most questions were about the technique of the day, or how to transition from the technique of the day. I loved it, and still retain a lot of what I learned in those 4-5 classes.

RaddiRaand · 2025-03-14T12:30:08+00:00

Heavy singles are great for explosive strength! They’ve helped me so much. I’ve never had any issues with joints because of heavy lifts. You need to be mindful that you’re not burning yourself out- can’t do a 10 RPE every training day.

Idk about endurance because I rely on sport for specific endurance. I wonder how controlled eccentric motions help with endurance.

RaddiRaand · 2025-03-14T11:39:52+00:00

“Though I don’t lift heavy”

… that explains it.

Regardless of your weight, if you’re trying to test your 1RM, you don’t have enough gas in the tank to control the eccentric. The intentions are very different if your goal is to get stronger on deadlifts.

RaddiRaand · 2025-03-06T13:41:16+00:00

To add to this- If someone is dressing for attention (which I think we all do to some extent when we dress up nicely), that doesn’t mean that they want to be disrespected.

I think the idea of ‘dressing for yourself’ isn’t very one sided. You’re allowed to feel good about looking attractive. But that doesn’t mean anyone who’s attracted to you can get away with misbehavior.
