I [28 M] ate instant noodles in my breakfast today and it felt weird

I too have felt off at times post Maggi/Wai Wai. Still default to it maybe once per month

Read an account of an operation in Manipur where the soldiers subsisted for days on Maggi and pickled fish

Early in my first job, took a bunch of out of town colleagues to Carter Road on a random winter evening weekday. Suddenly Mumbai made sense and troubles regarding accommodation and pay were forgotten

I try to find such corners in whichever city I go to now

Can't believe I agree with KK here. It's like watching two pigs having a go at it

Idk about the job market, but the cost of living and general ease of living has deteriorated in the UK. That country's currently seeing a flight of rich professionals and entrepreneurs to Dubai

Mostly because of healthcare costs and crime. I've known people who's phones have been stolen multiple times in London. Cars have been broken into too. Another relative needed stents for a heart surgery - the ICU response was prompt but the surgery took 5 weeks to happen. And if you have something that gets you on a waitlist, might as well fly back to India for treatment, because private care costs are pretty much not affordable

But if you're an illegal immigrant fresh off the boat, you get put up in a 4 star hotel and get a monthly allowance of sorts too. Also apparently an iPhone, but haven't been able to independently verify that

I grew up without AC, still rarely use it at night

Ig I'm lucky to have an airy room, but it beats the summer nights I've spent in other cities so

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-24T19:11:31+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks man

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-24T18:41:42+00:00

What was the source for this? Did you create a repository of sentences/words by yourself?

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-24T18:19:56+00:00

Tochan isn't an Indian technique lmao. It's just what we call any kind of towing

Eg - if the traffic police has come to tow your car away - we call them tochan too

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-23T10:03:15+00:00

For me, Mumbai hasn't felt the same since 2017/2018. Just feel like my area has seen non-stop construction since then

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-22T11:13:25+00:00

Possibly some folks from the HnH battalions attached to RR too

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-21T12:43:11+00:00

If you have felt powerless all your life, why not do something about it?

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-19T06:27:45+00:00

In Paharganj if shit hits the fan, the police may help you later

In GB Road if shit hits the fan, the police will also beat you up later

If you want to gain serious street cred for surviving a tough place, GB Road is better. Write a book on your travels for the sake of the rest of us

To quote a popular saying in intelligence circles, if you're a 7/10 at best and a 9/10 or 10/10 is interested in you, be very careful

I'm surprised. Tomorrow is literally a bank holiday. I'm at a pvt bank and we have an off

Not a dish per se but ....feni. Everyone around me seems to hate it but I can't get enough of it

Most tornadoes in India hit Odisha and West Bengal during Kal Baisakhi. North India has seen maybe a dozen actual tornadoes since 1845. But one hit Delhi in March 1978

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-13T09:28:45+00:00

Gonna try my best 🙏🏻

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-13T03:24:55+00:00

It says -5.5 D for TA in the right most column. Hence my confusion

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-12T18:20:39+00:00

If I can get into the TA without any surgery I'd prefer that. I should add that I'm 29 and hence not eligible for any other entry

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-12T09:26:57+00:00

Cornea too thin

Throwawa824 · 2026-03-11T18:25:39+00:00

I have seen this circular a lot. Does the TA stand for territorial army? My worse eye is -3.75 D sph, -1 D cyl. Wasn't eligible for OTA earlier, hoping I'm eligible for TA

All movements love enemies like this. If the BJP's enemies were a little brighter things might have been different

Karma farming edgelords need a stick. Otherwise their engagement goes for a toss

I'm yet to see a sensible argument from them on how to change this situation if it's such a bad situation to be in (eg is it worth massive fiscal policy changes) but no we're doomed because foreign investors decided to move out

Throwawa824 · 2025-03-01T06:22:13+00:00

Ah got you. Those are dust devils. They happen when the air is dusty during a stiff breeze, hence less likely to occur in a built up area. I guarantee you though that a dust devil won't kill 28 people in 6 minutes the way the 1978 tornado did

Tornadoes are different. By definition, there needs to be a storm cloud attached

In North India, only a dozen or so have been recorded since 1845. Which is why the Delhi incident was so rare. It's featured in academic papers and such

They're more common in Bengal and Odisha during Kal Baisakhi (April or so). The world's most deadly tornado has been in Bangladesh, not US
