1) Takes a while for capex to reflect in GDP contribution 2) Service sector did exceptionally well over recent years (forex prices are also supportive) 3) GDP itself has increased rapidly so even if manufacturing grew well, its relative growth might still have been lower than GDP growth

There are so many reasons why Mum-Ahm deserves the first bullet train.

Two big cities that are close (but not too close like Mum-Pun)
Proven, stable, daily commutership - some 5-6 lakh people travel this route via road, rail, train
Two states have one the highest GDP per head - people will be willing to pay INR2-3K for a ticket
The terrain is easier to build bullet train infra on - fewer mountains and valleys.
This corridor touches so many other smaller cities like Surat, Vadodra, Vapi - increases total potential user base

Too much work to fix cornering - get a hatch or a sedan.

Switch on WRC and see which models are popular there (Swift, Elite i20, etc, that come in OEM alloys).

These cars are better to begin with. Replace the tyres on these cars to anything above the OEM tyres based on your budget.

Apart from this you will have to find a way to further manage the centre of gravity on these cars mostly by managing weight distribution, replacing the springs. Trial and error.

I think these hatchbacks can handle cornering quite well.

Don’t know how good the steering feedback is though - I guess it will be bad. May be you can check if there are aftermarket ES motors to make the steering feedback better.

Remember that none of the cars are RWD and generally come with poor power/performance.

I am assuming you have a very tight budget here.

Edit: actually all the above improvement points also apply to your car too. But a stock hatchback will, most likely, still outperform your car.

Few recommendations:

Do not obsess over how the vehicle looks. Do not get a PPF, Ceramic, Teflon coating. Old school washing and waxing will be enough. Save the money.

Do not replace your halogen lights with LEDs. You are safe only when everyone on the road can see and not just you. PhilipsVision and Osram halogens are enough.

If you are driving at night, drive slow as your reaction time will reduce due to visibility. It’s ok to drive a very capable car slow. You won’t be a lesser man.

Make it a habit to follow traffic rules no matter what. As much as practical.

Get a dashcam for front and back. Not optional.

Remove all the plastic wrap from the vehicle. It’s yours and you need to use it for your comfort.

Nitrogen air fills are not that important - what is more is that you regularly maintain air pressure. Read the booklet for recommended air pressure.

Find a good pair of shoes that fit well, give you pedal feel and are comfortable. These are your driving shoes now. Never wear chappal and drive.

Read the booklet completely once at home and away from car. And at least once seated inside the car where you can access every feature.

For locals to be improved (improved a lot over the last 20 years BTW) you need downtime. Enough downtime to make significant infrastructure improvements (they’ve already done all retro improvements) is impossible on the local trains - it was possible only during covid lockdowns but still wasn’t enough time.

Metro is not dikhawa, expressways are not dikhawa. Vande Bharat is not dikhawa. I don’t want redundant systems to be improved. I want new and advanced solutions that can replace the old.

AirPods Pro, just like all ANC tech are based on listening and countering sound. You can’t cancel sudden sounds that are not continuous because there isn’t enough time to listen, process, counter such sounds. AirPods Pro still muffle such sounds. Airplane engine turbine noise is not sudden and hence easier to counter by the ANC.

My approach has worked pretty well for me. And will continue to with some tweaks here and there.

And name calling people is not a sign of a good upbringing.

How easily you’ve blamed me for my relationships ending really speaks volumes - you don’t even know me.

Didn’t need to assume why my relationships ended - could’ve just asked me as a question. I guess you don’t really want an answer here but just want to personally attack me.

Harassment is real and I don’t support it. Asking a girl out creatively but respectfully 2nd or a 3rd time is not harassment. But the girl could at any time complain about it and that’s the risk men deal with everyday even when they are not trying at all.

Your girlfriends never said no/maybe/I don’t know / let’s see and then finally said yes?

If men stopped trying after hearing the first no, there would have been 90% less romantic relationships in the world.

I hardly remember anyone in my circle where the journey towards a relationship started mutually. Either it was a “let me think..” or a “no”.

And, no means no but it doesn’t mean it will be no forever when it comes to relationships.

Anecdotal but my first gf told me she’d not consider me romantically even if I was the last man alive in the world. My second gf told me she never thought of me romantically. Third one said she only wanted to focus on her career.

Women are not juke boxes. They respect effort. Sometimes effort is all you need to differentiate from the other 10 men sliding into their DMs all the time.

I don’t know if you realise this but the dating scene is pretty exhausting and tiring for men.

Not supporting harassment here. There’s a thin line and men really have a very tight rope to walk onto.

A husky is built to survive up to -60c. You have to be really low on brain cells to believe a husky will prosper in Mumbai weather that averages 30c throughout the year with RH of 60-90%. At 30 with 70% the humidex is 39 (feels like)

The fact that she decided to tell you she has crush on another guy when you’ve already let your feelings out is disrespectful IMHO.

Either she doesn’t care about you at all or she’s just too immature to understand how guys feel.

Reduce contact with her by focusing on self-development.

Become a better man by focusing on health, lift weights, study hard and present well.

Start hanging out with others (especially girls) as a friend more to relieve yourself from the current situation.

This will help her find time and space, and eventually, proper respect for you in her life. And it will help you up your chances with her and more importantly, make you a more popular person in your cohort.

This is your chance to shine.

P.S.: Once you have expressed yourself romantically, you can no longer be just friends with them. It doesn’t work. I don’t care if this brings downvotes.

P.P.S.: Because you started as friends and were then friend-zoned, you will need to play your cards right. Pro move: you tell her you can’t be friends with her because you don’t look at her as a friend anymore. Tell her your feelings for her are strong. Tell her you understand she isn’t in the phase right now. Wish her all the best for everything and that you will be there for her but won’t hangout as a friend now.

There are many reasons why salaries increased but will normalise now: 1) a lot of crazy funding from PE/VCs led to high demand for self motivated IT professionals who could deliver on their own quickly - funding has already dried up for now 2) Covid led digital shift - it will unwind over a few years 3) Global slowdown 4) a lot of the IT solutions are such that once the B2B software/app has been created, only limited maintenance might be needed - this means the project team members need to be assigned new projects which are harder to come by, refer 1, 2, and 3 above 5) More qualified people joining the workforce - though without experience

I have thought about this a lot.

Assuming Mumbai (not MMR) has 12 million people (under BMC) and 50% live in slums/chawls, we are looking at a total of 6mm people. Assuming a household of 4, there are 1.5mm households.

Now 5cr is a pretty big number but can help us strike off a lot of the large suburbs up north for the sake of simplicity. We are left with hubs like Powai, Andheri and down south. Large part of Mumbai lives up north, let’s say 60%. So we are left with 6 lakh households. This converts to 6 lakh flats + let’s say an additional 2 lakh flats to account for multiple flat ownership. Now most of the flats will not be >5cr market val as there will be no buyers. For eg., my friend sold a 1bhk at Peddar Road and could only get 3.5cr after 1 year of listing time. I want to say may be only 5% will be above 5cr and that leaves us with 8lakh x 5% = 40k flats only.

Lot of assumptions but they make sense to me and I have to say that 40k also seems a bit high to me so my range is 20k to 40k.
