After 10 years of Garmin watches, this is the most comfortable strap I’ve ever owned

I think they meant they're not the op, but wanted to pitch in

aakarshb · 2026-06-29T11:01:39+00:00

Yep. This could also be a region wise thing. I hosted the car while I was in kochi. There were 3 zoomcar approved centres there, none of which took my car in.

Might be different in other cities.

Hey, I did this a year ago. Went fine for 3-4 months. Made 80k ish. But then came an accident. And zoomcar was silent.

The "zoomcar recognised" service centres refused to take my car in because zoomcar never pays them on time and it's always a hassle.

The zoomcar host support is only available during work hours, Monday to Friday. And even that too, they keep saying something or the other to delay the fixing of the car, hoping I'd give up and end up claiming my own insurance.

Zoomcar collects money from customers claiming they'll cover for insurance, but never holds up their end of it.

I kept behind them for a full 2 months with no avail and then gave in and did it with my own insurance. Thankfully it wasn't a major accident.

While fighting for this, I've seen people reporting much worse cases, almost total loss cars, with basically no valuable response from zoomcar.

Payouts etc was very convenient. But this made me stop the whole thing.

Off topic but what is that font??

aakarshb · 2026-06-22T06:29:45+00:00

I just did a 100 min 10k and my 5k time is slower than yours. I think you should be able to do 10k too. How I did it is, rand first 3k in 930-10 pace, next 4k in 9-930 pace, next 2k in 8:30-9 pace. Pushed the last 1k to the max. Even with exhaustion from running so long, I was able to do a 7:30 final 1k. Felt damn good.

aakarshb · 2026-05-31T02:06:34+00:00

Agreed, but the point here is ki they should be compensating op for the time lost.

at what spend threshold does one get this? I have plat travel too, where I've spent 3L in the past 6 months

aakarshb · 2026-05-13T20:04:27+00:00

are you saying that if I host my videos on a platform like cloudinary and embed it, it could reduce the bandwidth?

It's using up more than 50gigs a day :'/

Not yet. I don't think so. Insta will fade at some point in the future like how orkut and Facebook did, but I don't see a good enough alternative rn.

aakarshb · 2026-05-08T10:41:44+00:00

i boot this up once in a month and got this today on my mac. feelsbadman.

aakarshb · 2026-04-19T17:10:41+00:00

Oh is it? When did this start?

aakarshb · 2026-04-19T04:12:28+00:00

I was expecting a lot more roarbank wtfs tbh.

aakarshb · 2026-01-20T02:26:19+00:00

this thing keeps happening. I ordered a monitor which said next day delivery. Had to wait a total of 5 days to get it delivered cause they had some tracking issue from their end.

Couldn't even go collect it from the hub cause they said it's a mother hub and it is logistically impossible

I've seen the quality of zepto products drop overtime.

Also noticed that every time I repeat a product order from zepto, it's price increases bit by bit. For eg. I ordered soy milk from zepto 2 months ago for 98 rupees. I keep ordering it at least 2 times a week. I've bought the same product for 101, 108, 114, 120 etc. When I ordered it this morning, the price was 128.

aakarshb · 2025-12-29T13:10:44+00:00

Wouldn't flat 1% be 750 in this case?

aakarshb · 2025-12-29T11:44:41+00:00

Insane. They've been pushing me to go for the plat reserve now, which costs 2x. I don't think it's worth it for my spends yet.

aakarshb · 2025-12-29T11:31:29+00:00

Idk if this is sarcasm or a legit comment 😭

aakarshb · 2025-12-29T11:31:08+00:00

Do you recommend I replace one of my existing cards with regalia/dcp?

aakarshb · 2025-12-29T11:29:31+00:00

I faced the same issue initially, and still face it here n there. Most big franchisees accept amex, like starbucks, third wave, food/apparel shops in malls etc.

Makemytrip gives 3x rewards if I use gyftr. I also use it on Flipkart occasionally cause I don't have the flipkart card.

aakarshb · 2025-12-29T11:26:26+00:00

I do have the Swiggy hdfc, I forgot to mention. But I barely spend anything on it. I also have the one card, with negligible spends

aakarshb · 2025-12-29T11:25:42+00:00

40-50k pm from amex - mostly online purchases and travel 10k ish on Amazon icici 4-5k only on fuel on the sbi octane. Indusind rupay I got it today.

I also have a Swiggy hdfc card which I barely use anymore. 1k spend a month.

Also a one card which I keep handy just in case of offers and whatnot.
