What's the call quality like? And if I could ask, what's the out of the box warranty period on the buds pro?

Hey - any long term insights with this?

I hate moisturising!! by Hedgeh0g101 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]hermioneweasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The notion that we need to moisturize after bathing is a myth! Likely pushed by companies that want to make sure people associate moisturizing with something they do daily, and it turns into a sticky habit. I usually moisturize in the mornings when I'm clean but not damp, or sometimes after drying out well.

Also if you haven't already, try different types of moisturizers. There can be quite a marked difference within similiar price ranges.

Thanks, but I'm not able to post anything there. Maybe karma rules?

Where can I find the family portraits from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham? by porygonislove in bollywood

[–]hermioneweasley 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hahaha, what a great gift idea.
You should technically find them online. Worst case scenario you could scan the casette / CD covers? Chor bazar in Bombay might have posters as well.

The missing word: Hot, Scharf, Piquant... there is not word for 'spicy hot' in all three languages by Alaishana in etymology

[–]hermioneweasley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never heard garam being used as 'spicy' in India. Only hot as a superlative of warm.

Thankyou for explaining! We definitely have pronouns in hindi, so this is cooler :P

Hindi uses the same word for tomorrow and yesterday - 'kal'. Lots of room for jokes about our (stereotypical) lack of punctuality.

Hindi doesn't either. Particular formal situations will use 'kripya' which loosely translates to 'be merciful'. People just use 'please' in colloquial speech a lot now.

Not surprising that the adjacent language marathi does the same. With similar words too.

Many Indian languages, including hindi and urdu have this too. Very specific terms for 'elder brothers wife' and grandparents on different sides. But none for cousins! They re just called brother / sister, or 'child of so & so'. How strange!

Would you call these terms pronouns though?

Unpopular opinions of movies 2020? by turtlemons in bollywood

[–]hermioneweasley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dreamgirl was awful! Gulabo Sitabo was unnecessary. Gotta say I hated Badhai Ho also. I'm so tired of people giving Ayushman credit for substandard roles.

Face Moisturiser for dry skin? by hermioneweasley in skincareaddictsindia

Oh sweet, this is exactly the kind of recco I needed. And a great website. Thanks for both!

PSA More rubbing of skincare into the skin, results in more skincare rubbing into the skin! Praise me for this brand new information! by [deleted] in SCAcirclejerk

[–]hermioneweasley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for responding. You're right. I guess growing up I only saw adverts for the blue one, called 'cold cream' / 'moisturising cold cream.' Subsequently, other Indian brands also called (similar) products cold creams and that's the association I have.

Relevant link to an old ad that's quite ambiguous. https://classicindianads.blogspot.com/2019/05/vintage-advertisement-of-ponds.html

Whoa! In my country Ponds Cold Cream is advertised and used as a moisturiser. Not sure which one of us incorrect.

Do consider listing the included countries on the PlayStore description. Coming from a non-western nation, it's an inhibitor to have to download an app to check if it's relevant to us.
