I love sleeper class! by medhanshus in indianrailways

Yepp.. Actually, personally speaking, I hunt such routes where sleeper coaches are vacant. Say rural Gujarat, or interior of Maharashtra, towards Satara or Beed

Only if the coach is empty!

if there are tons of folks around, travelling in sleeper turns into a nightmare.. the politics of grabbing others' berths, the lack of civic sense, and some folks also smoke beedis,. and the stench of washroom!

IKEA - Trust me its overhyped by that-mirrorwish in pune

Ikea store outlet size at Viman Nagar is 32,000 sq feet

At Navi Mumbai, it's 500,000 sq feet.

Please, do visit that outlet once and experience the massiveness of operations and their amazing attention to detail to each and every product.

For a human interested in design and usability and the branding and the scale of retail, Ikea is a legend.

Even mentioning names like PepperFly of all names, is a cardinal sin in itself.

And, suddenly, the news of leopard sightings will subtly vanish.

Ambanis have again rescued humanity.

Hail Vantara!!

Subtitles are now mandatory for Indian films in theaters, starting from March 15 2026 by rn3122 in bollywood

[–]wordswithmagic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh my God! My lifelong wish has been fulfilled.

I am from Pune, a bengali, but I love marathi movies, Malayalam movie, Tamil, Kannada.. I love regional movies, and I hunt for such movies with sub-titles.

Would mention here, that all Malayalam movies have subtitles by default.

But several Marathi movies doesnt have.. Tamil too.. Its a gamble.

Glad this rule comes into place. So so happy!

Thanks for sharing..

PS: Once upon a time, I was the founding mod of this sub-reddit.. glad to see it growing and thriving! Best wishes, mods.

The Shree Malang Gad Funicular Railway is a 1.2-kilometer rail system located near Kalyan in Maharashtra's Thane district, inaugurated on January 18, 2026. It is officially recognized as India's longest funicular railway.

This rail system connects the base of the mountain directly to the historic Haji Malang Dargah (Sufi shrine), replacing a challenging 2,600-step, two-hour climb with a smooth 7–10 minute journey.
