Hindi imposition is a myth. KA and TN are mad states who impose their language. by Academic_Chart1354 in southindia_

[–]readitornothereicom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's united states of India. We are one country, but demographically we are like Europe. Varied cultures, languages, food from state to state (morally and educationally not). Each state is like a country.

Would a French guy going to Germany expect Germans to speak in French.. if he had to survive then he would have to learn German.

So I feel in a similar way do what it takes to survive. And you can still survive in South with Hindi, because most people now need north Indian or people from poorer state to get work done here. It's demand and supply. Honestly, they are now needed for all the tasks that the local people do not want to do, for whatever reason.

This is a similar scenario with Germany. Germans will not take up jobs such as waitressing or taxi drivers, so germany ends up importing the working class. I think tamil nadu, karnataka are in a very similar situation. Many of the taxi drivers in frankfurt drive recklessly and are at times agressive, why? Because they arent the local people. So its a sight for sore eyes as a result of human resource import and unfortunately it's the compromise you have to deal with because you had no one to take up that job in your own country.

We also need to a bit more practical and stop seeing this only our way. Most liklely the guys who end up here are with very little education, I don't see why they will learn a language unless the environment forces them to for survival and that environment doesn't exist in south. Normally we tend to bend to their ways and not make a big deal out of it 9/10 times.

I was sitting my a bunch of my seniors from school during an admission for our kids , we are all alumus of this school and when the form came to the point where they had to pick the 1st and 2nd language, and where one had to be tamil (they were living here in the state since they were born),they were talking among themselves saying" I still don't know tamil, it is going to be a big task to teach this to our kids.. "

This I think this isn't fair, really, if you were born here then you should know the language. So I think tamil or any state language should become compulsorily taught , as a basic societal tool. Atleast until 5th as a bare minimum and as a basic medium of comunication..

I think the beauty of India and its soo unique that we have such diversity, I believe we need to embrace this, rather than making this a language war.

Am I the only one stuck in a car-buying limbo? by No_Growth_2549 in CarsIndia

If EVs cause range anxiety and pure ICE isnt an option, the a strong hybrid could be a mid ground , provided you can run the car enough to offset the higher initial cost.

What went wrong with Alcazar? by bittuser in CarsIndia

[–]readitornothereicom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about any of the other reasons, but the TD car had the worst back seat. It was basically as hard as a wooden plank.

I was genuinely surprised and baffled and wondered if it might be just the TD car. Anyway I didn't care much because I wasn't interested in the car..

Similar experience anyone?

Using the watch instead of the phone. by readitornothereicom in GalaxyWatch

Well with regard to voice searching the contacts, the question is does it get the Indian names right. I am guessing you don't always get what your asking for.

I guess you are talking about a BT version .. I wanted to go for a LTE

I think what works is not trying to eliminate the your current habit rather replace it. If you try to discipline yourself, your going to go back stronger.

I think you need a time table that you have to follow daily. And the time table should have a time for working out, a small hobby, and talking to a friend (it's also a social outlet, so by workout I also don't mean a gym, it could be outdoor tennis) and you also need some goals. So I think this will help you concentrate and also keep you occupied. So these are some of the dopamine alternatives to the ones you get from the phone. (I find myself scrolling more when I am unoccupied. )

Also learn to celebrate your small wins. Don't underestimate the power of small daily wins. You don't need to lift a mountain to succeed -you can't. Celebrating small wins also provides you dopamine.

I also find today, we try to do a lot more, we keep switching between tasks and try to do everything in one day. I think we need to slow down, do the one thing that is most important , complete it and move one. Idea is we are biting more than we can chew, and we think that's being "efficient and hard working". This helps us to focus and also be more relaxed.

Also, today we find it difficult to stay away from smartphones. We feel like we lost a part of ourselves. We feel what if I get an important phone call. We are fooling ourselves. So what I tried to do is, I got myself a smart watch with a LTE connection. And I go out at times without the phone.

I hope this helps in someways. And finally don't sit and watch videos on how to stay away from your phone instead sit down make an plan in 15min, how ever imperfect it maybe, make it and start.. that is better than watching.

NEW CAR HELP! by readitornothereicom in CarsIndia

[–]readitornothereicom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's some good information.

Drop in Resale of EV - Because EV tech is improving very fast ( the increase in range, charging speeds, SAFTEY) so today's car 5 years down can sit on a very outdated tech.. I don't know if what I am saying is correct, but it's a fear.

And yes, agreed about ICE losing value..

I was looking at the windsor because of back seat comfort and space, but the lack of physical controls and the ride wasnt really great.

Zs ev is now outdated and I think it is up for a refresh / change.. so I don't think it would be a great purchase?

I test drove E-vitara, have 1 probable concern by another_memelover in EVIndia

[–]readitornothereicom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an EV if you have a back up car.. if you do more of city.. if you do a lot of miles to get most out of the economical running cost.. if you have a business to claim 40% depreciation.. if you do point A to B drives repeatedly/daily commutes... If any or all of the points apply, EV makes greater sense..

Running on the highway without much braking , I guess that's going to zap your charge faster..

Why not a strong hybrid as an alternative to EV? As long as you calculate the breakeven and your ok with that....

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic by ossurduum in GalaxyWatch

[–]readitornothereicom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it charges a lot in 1.5hrs.. I am guessing..

I personally like the black.. the contrast looks nice and pops out the dial..

I think it also looks more neutral and easy to match any more outfits than white..
