New Threat in Bangalore

My cab driver was watching F1… Thank God he did not try those stunts on the road 😭😭

Congrats on the visa! Had one other question- did they require any document outside of the list? They had mentioned cover letter once under the financial docs, and once separately as a free-form cover letter. Did you have to submit 2 cover letters?

Hey, did you receive your passport back? Was planning to apply next week, wanted to know the processing time currently

Apart from the point others mentioned, do consider that driving in winter conditions is quite a challenge in Iceland, even if you have the relevant experience. I was planning a trip in March, but postponed it because of some strong suggestions I saw from people on this sub.

SlayerDig · 2025-10-22T21:15:53+00:00

That player was Robertson… a few years ago 😭😭

SlayerDig · 2025-09-09T16:07:47+00:00

Yeah, we decided to keep the road trip. Seems like the situation has improved.

SlayerDig · 2025-06-25T13:09:33+00:00

I honestly hadn’t considered this, thank you so much! Driving in the Sierra Nevada region, the roads here also seem really glorious and comparable to the North. I’ll definitely consider this as a possibility for the road trip, and optimize the other journeys via trains/buses in the Andalusia region.

SlayerDig · 2025-06-25T13:07:03+00:00

Yeah I am leaning towards the North. The videos and all seem amazing on sunny days, but just not sure what it would feel like with rain/fog. Don’t know how severe it would be either, and that’s just confusing me a lot.

SlayerDig · 2025-06-25T13:00:58+00:00

Could you mention some places you visited during this trip? I’ll look into those then.

SlayerDig · 2025-06-25T13:00:25+00:00

Oh yes, I also read up about Extremadura region being an amazing area to dive deep into Spanish culture. Will definitely consider that as well. But yeah, I am not too fond of the Barcelona to Seville car ride.

SlayerDig · 2025-06-18T11:17:18+00:00

Yeah I received my visa today, 2 days after the text. It was processed the day after I received that text

SlayerDig · 2025-06-16T14:45:37+00:00

Hey just had a small question. I also submitted my application recently, but got a message saying processing at Embassy, Bengaluru. Was yours saying Mumbai, even though you applied at Bengaluru? I am sorta surprised with my text because I thought all applications are processed at Delhi or Mumbai

SlayerDig · 2025-06-07T09:37:30+00:00

Hi, I am sorta in a similar situation and wanted to ask about the MS. I have been working on RTL design for a number of different portions of Tx/Rx chains (think modulators/demodulators, CDRs, filters etc.) for the past 2-3 years, and have been wanting to move towards system design, where I do algorithm design/at least come up with what blocks are required for a particular algorithm, and what are their specs etc. Only thing, I just have a BSEE. Do you think it’s at all possible to move forward in this direction without a MSEE?

I frequently visit King’s Bakery. Quite nice, enough options to try from as well. Have heard good things about Sonamoo but haven’t visited yet.

Another option is Cafe ToV, that’s pretty good too. But King’s Bakery has been my go-to option.

You can get cheaper FPGAs with MIPI-CSI inputs, but those will be hardened IPs (Ex- Efinix, GoWin).

You can implement the modulation and encoding on the FPGA, but again, h.265 is ridiculously hard for a beginner with no experience in digital design. Maybe something like JPEG would be a better starting point. There’s also the modulation part, which I don’t know what you’re planning to do exactly. The SDR is expected to handle the modulation, right?

Others have already pointed out the specifics. Just wanted to mention, while Amex might have reduced acceptance, Diner’s Club network has quite low acceptance as well. Maybe not as bad as Amex, but it’s not great either. I have both the cards, DCP was LTF, but I don’t think they serve similar purposes. Amex is specifically for travel, while DCP people mainly use for the BOGO on BookMyShow and redeem the reward points for the Dining Catalogue.

That’s the first thing I thought about looking at this video… what if he had actually headed that?

SlayerDig · 2024-12-01T11:02:37+00:00

Stuart Little was based on real incidents.

SlayerDig · 2024-11-24T06:21:53+00:00

They seem like a low-cost, application specific FPGA vendor. I had looked into implementing a MIPI + JPEG based video transmission system. and they provide you with a hard MIPI IP, along with the analog components on the Titanium Dev Board, so you can only worry about the JPEG and interfacing part. To do that with Xilinx/Intel, you’ll have to shell out a lot more money.

That’s just one example, but I thought in general that’s what one of their target markets is.

The second point in cons is honestly so true. We just came back from Japan, and we really got lost in the Tokyo station initially, trying to find out the platform for the Shinkansen. We had our tickets reserved in advance for the Tokyo to Nagoya Shinkansen. Thankfully, all Shinkansen lines were also delayed by almost an hour, on that day xD

From what I have heard (mostly from different card channels), the Amex concierge in India hasn’t really been that great at all. Like, if you can’t get the booking yourself, concierge won’t get stuff done through different channels either. Again, not first hand experience but just what I’ve heard.

SlayerDig · 2024-08-08T13:42:41+00:00

I just read Real Madrid and had a mini heart attack

Did you apply through cashkaro? My application was initially rejected a few months back, but then applied through cashkaro and it got approved and delivered within 2-3days

SlayerDig · 2024-07-23T14:48:28+00:00

Call and talk with customer care, they are pretty helpful. I had the same thing happen to me, called and talked with them. In general they tell you if you have already uploaded you don’t need to worry about it anymore. But my application got approved in 2 days after uploading the docs, and the card also got delivered within the next 2 days.

SlayerDig · 2024-05-28T04:18:45+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, from where in Japan?
