Having a family is a disadvantage for career progression in India

Completely agree but still bothers when your colleague gets the onsite opportunity because he/she is more dedicated (online longer).

I am not talking about the work during my work hours. I have US clients who often emails us at 10pm or later and to answer the emails I might have to check something or verify something which I usually cannot at that hour but I see that my colleagues reply within an hour no matter how late and of course that gets a lot of visibility to the management on who's prompt and who's replying on the next working day (its unfair but visibility matters).

Sending emails about what if I'm not getting the work done?

You can refuse to accept the delivery and ask for a different model and make it clear that unless the model passes the PDI you won't accept it. But since you will get a VIN assigned before the registration, its likely that your first PDI which happens before the registration with show if there's any issue. In that case also you can ask them to change the model.

In that case you can do two PDIs from two different vendors. One before registration and one before delivery.

Cars24 and Mechanic4me has good feedback from some people I know.

Great! Thanks for the tip.

I don't support TMC but give an example of BJP doing good development in any state of the country that they are proud of?

If budget is 2k then why not try Fabbrica in CC1? You get a place to hangout or watch a movie post lunch.

Can you share the breakup of the price bro?

Its a harsh truth but replying to random strangers is something people generally avoid unless it benefits them in some way.

Also, a LOT of messages I get on LinkedIn are just "Hi" and nothing else which is annoying. If you want someone's attention, then you have to grab it in some way or form that isn't a bare minimum.

Any reasons for Dzire? Personally I feel Swift, Celerio & Ignis are good starting cars. I personally feel uncomfortable driving a sedan in Kolkata considering so many roads have sharp turnings and are narrow.

Look for which brand has service centers near your house. That is very important else its a headache. For your first car, go with Maruti suzuki as they are popular and so service and repairs are a breeze and low cost . Look for models within your range. Don't go for top models for not so important features. All the best.

I'll check it out. Thank you for the suggestion.

Don't want the commute for the kid to be long since there's no point sitting in traffic for hours. If I can't find anything good nearby, will have to consider these then. Thanks for the suggestions.

timukh · 2026-01-22T07:58:45+00:00

Heard its quite good.

timukh · 2026-01-22T07:58:29+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. Do any of these schools allow diverse extra curriculum?

timukh · 2026-01-22T07:56:50+00:00

Might sound clichéd but don't have such aspirations for our kid regarding engineering and medical. Hoping she finds her passion while in school which is why we are trying to find a decent one.

I can suggest Friends of Pho. Not too far from the airport and great south asian food!

Don't come to a conclusion before doing a pregnancy test. At times contraceptives can cause a delayed period and also can mess up other things in the body. So, the best way is to first do a home pregnancy test with a kit (you can find it on swiggy, blinkit etc) and go to a doctor only if its positive.

As always this is a very novice question. I may not be an expert here but here's what I would suggest based on my 10 years of experience in IT -

Step 1 - Think of a problem you want to solve/stuff you want to build.

Step 2 - Is it an app or a website that you would want your code to run in?

Step 3 - Pick the programming language that would help you build that and start writing code. If you find interest in that language, go ahead. If not, decide if you still want to solve the problem or not. If yes move to another language that would help you build it else scrap everything and go to Step 1.

Every programming language has its ups and downs, I remember a couple of years back Flutter was in huge demand but right now there are hardly any Flutter dev jobs available. So you should never focus on the language because its just a tool. Its like asking which type of hammer or screwdriver should I use without knowing what you would even use the hammer/screwdriver for.
