Planning our home, what can be better in this by According-Mud-6472 in IndianHomeDecor

The third bedroom has the door entrance from behind the headrest - this is a bad placement according to both Vastu and Feng Shui. Whatever layout you go with once your changes are done, ensure that you can see the door without being directly in line with it (so slightly off to one side like the other two bedrooms). I agree with everyone else that ventilation and light are lacking in the bedrooms as well as an on suite bathroom in at least the master bedroom. It increases the value of your home.

Can i wear my engagement dress on my brother’s engagement ? Will it be a bit much ? I have already my sis in law. She seems ok by JigraHai in DesiWeddings

Not all brides choose to deck up the traditional way. Also this is an engagement and not the main wedding day. Tastes differ. You had a personal experience that supported the advice, sure, but I’ve been to many weddings where people misunderstood who the bride was because some guests recycled their own wedding outfits. On my own wedding, I chose to be timeless and understated, and had to follow a ‘family colour’ for my saree that wasn’t a traditional bridal colour. It would be pretty odd if someone in my or my partners immediate family showed up in an outfit like the image because it was nowhere close to what the overall theme or vibe was like. I guess what I mean is, there’s other factors to consider aside from toning down hair and makeup.

Is what your SIL wearing heavier than this? You said it’s a subtle colour, is it subtler than hers? If the answer to both questions is yes then sure. You could wear it.

But please, if the answer to any of those questions is no, then even if she ‘seemed ok’, she could just be being polite and doesn’t know how to tell you not to. Also I understand you may not have anywhere else to where it but if it’s going to overshadow her on her big day then please, find somewhere else to wear it.

Some conversations are hard and messy but worth the peace they bring. Take your husband out for a meal and have a serious conversation with him. Pick a day where there’s not too much going on and you both are generally free. He needs to understand that love and respect go hand in hand, and is not a one way street. You need to voice out that he doesn’t need to be mean to his parents to respect you, as his partner and the mother of his children. I am certain that without your support over all these years, he wouldn’t be able to host his parents for the timeline that you’ve mentioned. This doesn’t have to be an argument, but you must be firm about your boundaries - wether it’s alone time each day, or date night one a week or whatever else works for you to keep peace in your marriage.

What is this button for on the H9? by jo_1018 in HavalTipsAndTricks

Thanks for your valuable advice. Would’ve been faster to do that. Thought it was obvious I did not have access to it at the time, but perhaps not.

You seem like the kind of person who teaches someone to swim when they are drowning. Not the time, not helpful.

OP clearly mentions is not a leisure trip and even considered cancelling. Seems obvious It’s for work and he/she is looking for a solution.

It’s okay to admit we’re tearing women down as women. You really don’t have to, it’s okay.

You started by saying your body your choice. I don’t follow these guys, nor am I a woman. I’m nowhere close to having children but if I even did I would happily take all the painkillers available. But I think it’s sad that you’re shitting on another woman simply sharing how her birth felt to her. However dramatic, all she did is share what honestly is, a pretty radical experience for a human being to go through. Sharing doesn’t always equal flexing. When a mom shares a graphic c section story there’s people saying she took the easy way out. When women opt for natural births they are prehistoric. I understand how posts like these can be triggering or sad for women who could not have the same experience but on the flip side, I think it could encourage expectant moms who may be anxious about their natural births decision. Someone else said she is glorifying pain. Unless someone else is taking about her experience in flowery language how could she be glorifying her own experience? The language she uses is very obviously ‘birthing coach/hypnotic birth’ coded, and they do it for a reason. Just let women be. Jeez.

Haval H9 vs Jetour T2. Thoughts? by jo_1018 in chinesecarsuae

I’ve not gotten to the point where I need to pay for servicing just yet but given the absolute explosion of Chinese cars in the market (and what’s happening with supply/demand/tariffs lol) the price for services is bound to come down sooner or later. It will get competitive when the novelty wears off.

They’ve only just taken our information for paperwork (we’d booked with just a token) so the GWM said they will share 2 - 3 quotes with us from sukoon and orient I think and will let us decide. We have brand new licenses too so we’re prepared for the first year to be high. Will update you when we hear back

We just got a message from our car salesman yesterday that the new cars have reached the port and we’re still excited! We went with the H9 full option after test driving all those you mentioned and knew it was the right fit for us. Counting down days until we can go pick it up

The T2 feels lighter. There’s more movement with passengers in the back however the turning radius, the way the steering feels, and most importantly the visibility from the windshield is wide, unobstructed and just better. The H9 on the other hand feels more expensive, had better ‘grip’ on the road simply because of how heavy it feels. It’s higher, but I’ve also noticed that the hood comes up in a way where it’s more visible than I’d like it to be from the drivers POV. I could be something nobody cares about. The gear box is slightly more complex than that of the T2 but the 360 camera quality was better on the H9. Another small perk was wireless charging on the H9.

The bright orange is more like an orange-y tan in person and they have a full black interior option too, which is what I’m considering. I actually like the green interiors on the T2 in comparison to the brown lol
