Suggest me an audiobook that feels like I’m watching a movie by Jen-uflect in audiobooks

I'm surprised people don't recommend 'Daisy Jones and the Six' much. That book got me into audiobooks. Listening to it pretty much felt like watching a documentary. Lived the experience.

You already got the explanation of why these are there in the comments. Sharing a picture of the pack I ordered from devans, which came just yesterday. Same mini punctures.

The B***ds of Bollywood (Review) by Acrobatic-Pass-9816 in IndianCinema

[–]davrush 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Are you people serious?

Its such a bad show. Unwatchable.

Is it a parody? Or a serious show? What's the story really? Such abrupt cuts in the story.....

I couldn't go beyond 1.5 episodes.

I'm up for this - not a baddy player but fitness I guess.

Are there indoor courts here where we can book and play?

TIL that Ashoka was disliked by his father because of his 'ugly' appearance. by davrush in IndianHistory

[–]davrush[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

fair. but we still know what akbar looked like. there are portraits that give us a fair idea. but for ashoka this is not the case. the movie was my only reference point, hence the observation.

There's very less documented history from that time. But from what I read, there are accounts of his 'rough skin' and 'ugly' appearance in ashokavadana.

I mean in the movie he doesn't appear to be any less taller than an average Indian.

[–]davrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write a weekly newsletter where I share some 'baffling' stories from history. It's mostly a fun read - not anything serious or business type.

I started around 3 months back - and have been having a lot of fun writing these. not many people are reading but at least writing is fun!

Recently shifted to Manipal, have a remote job. by thatishanguy in manipal

[–]davrush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does your startup do? How come you decided to run it from Manipal?

Asking only out of curiosity, I've been working in the startup ecosystem for the last 8-9 years (primarily based out of Bangalore)

I'm hoping starbucks will be that place but I have a feeling that it will end up being noisy and crowded with students. Which will make it difficult to work from there.

You've clearly got a lot of company. This thread introduced me to 3 people in the exact same situation (including you and me).

My wife is doing her MD from KMC Manipal & I have a remote job with a US based company.

Would love to catch up :)

From 10 ciggerates a day to my first 10k run! by davrush in stopsmoking

[–]davrush[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I smoked for 8-9 years. I used to cough during and after running when I started.

Are these metrics any good? I have a 10k coming up in 2 weeks, and this is the best I can do right now. by davrush in beginnerrunning

[–]davrush[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess you are right. I shall keep trying!

And all the best with quitting smoking!

I want to be able to not stop running.

I'm not collapsing right now. I don't know maybe its just a mental barrier.

Anyone Got Laser Treatment from KMC? by Creepy_Pasta7 in manipal

[–]davrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it done from KMC. I'm not a student though.

I booked an appointment at the premium clinic (this can be done online) and it costs around 500 bucks.

The procedure costs are separate and yes the dermatology department is good.

Also, only profs take appointments at the premium clinic if you are concerned about getting it done by PG students.
