Vaaroon-OG supremacy or am I just too emotionally attached? 😭

It’s beautiful, but I can’t seem to shake my attachment to the original. 😭
Curious to know what everyone else thinks.

I get the Prajakta Koli hate now, but I’m mostly confused by the writing, the character, and why this role exists in the first place.

Watching Operation Safed Sagar on Netflix and, specifically talking about Prajakta’s role, I finally get why people have been bashing her so much. I genuinely don’t understand the point of her character or what they were trying to do with it.

Also, random observation: doesn’t she look significantly more “whitewashed” in her Instagram/photos compared to how she looks in shows like this? Especially in this one, her natural skin tone seems much more visible. No hate towards darker skin whatsoever, but isn’t it a little odd for someone in the public eye to heavily edit/whitewash their photos when the difference is so obvious on screen? Just wondering if this has been discussed already.

PS: This is probably the first show/movie I’ve actually watched with Prajakta in it. I’ve never managed to sit through even one episode of Mismatched , I found it that insufferable. So I’m pretty much a fresher when it comes to her and her work.

After two major FlixBus incidents on the same Europe trip, I’m done with them!

A few days ago, while leaving Frankfurt, our bus had issues that caused significant delays. Annoying, but we brushed it off as bad luck.

Fast forward to today. We’re travelling from Paris to Frankfurt after being awake all night because we have a long international flight later in the day.
Somewhere near Ramstein in Germany, our bus broke down completely.

We were left stranded on the roadside for around 2.5 hours. Police showed up to manage the situation, and we spent the entire time sitting around waiting for updates and hoping we’d still make it to Frankfurt in time.

Eventually a replacement bus arrived and we got moving again, but by that point we’d lost hours, hadn’t slept all night, and were completely exhausted.

What really gets me is that this is the second major issue we’ve had with FlixBus on the same trip. I understand that mechanical failures happen, but when you’re relying on long-distance buses, reliability is literally the product you’re paying for.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in breakdowns or operational issues recently, or have we just been unbelievably unlucky?

PS: We had accidentally booked our tickets for the wrong day and the driver allowed us to travel after collecting the fare difference in cash. We weren’t given any receipt or updated documentation. Is that standard FlixBus procedure?

Anyone here learn A1 with Netzwerk neu?

Hi everyone! I’m currently learning German A1 using Netzwerk neu A1 and preparing for the Goethe exam soon.

For anyone who’s learned with this book, do you happen to have a chapter-wise/topic-wise breakdown, notes, or any tips/“cheat sheets” that helped you? Would really appreciate anything that made revision easier. Thanks :)

Not every junction needs a flyover. Rakshak Chowk might be proving that.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but the Rakshak Chowk flyover feels completely uncalled for.

Used it earlier this way and found it very narrow, bottlenecked, and not really solving much. Plus with the accident reports already coming in, it’s making me wonder what exactly the planning was here.

What’s everyone’s experience been so far?

Digital India,analog filth 😶

Indian railway stations give me the ick every single time. I avoid train travel as much as I can, but on the unfortunate occasions I do have to catch one, I already start dreading the experience beforehand.

And before people come at me ; yes, I know not every station is like this and I’m sure there are cleaner ones too. But the ones I’ve personally been to have been downright disgusting.

Currently at Pune railway station and I swear I saw at least a couple of used condoms lying on the platform. Apart from that: human waste residue, a dead rat being eaten by a crow, and layers of filth I genuinely don’t even want to process anymore.

Indian railways really tests your survival instincts sometimes. God save me.

Best durable luggage brands for international travel?

Looking for recommendations for a durable trolley luggage for international travel — something sturdy, long-lasting, and able to survive rough airport handling.

I liked the Mokobara Access Trunk design, but I’ve seen mixed reviews about denting and shell durability despite the 6-year warranty. Also came across a lot of mentions of Delsey Paris.

Would love recommendations from people who’ve actually used their luggage extensively. Which brands/models have held up well over time?

Why does every scooty now come with stadium floodlights?

Why does every scooty on the roads now have headlights powerful enough to perform laser eye surgery?

Please angle them DOWN.

Sincerely, everyone driving in the opposite direction.

And honestly, this city’s roads would be 50% better if people came with even factory-installed common sense!

Did the show lose a bit of its Hannah & Garrett focus towards the end?

Did anyone else feel like the last few episodes shifted way too much focus away from Hannah & Garrett?

I was genuinely hooked during the first half of the season and absolutely loved their chemistry, but towards the end it felt like the show started prioritizing setup for other characters/storylines instead.

I get that they’re probably building toward future seasons, but I really wish we got more Hannah & Garrett in the final episodes because they carried the show for me.

Still a super fun watch though. Also… are we definitely getting Season 2 after that ending?

Has Domino’s in Pune become really unprofessional lately?

Has anyone else noticed how unprofessional Domino’s has become lately? Especially the Pimple Saudagar branch?

The last few times I’ve ordered from them, it’s been one issue after another:
- Orders getting delayed way beyond the expected delivery time
- Incorrect items being delivered
- Missing items with zero acknowledgement
- No proper refund process even after repeated follow-ups

What’s honestly more disappointing is the behavior of the staff and managers when you try to resolve the issue. No accountability, no basic customer handling skills, and at times outright disrespectful on calls. It genuinely feels like they just don’t care once the order is delivered incorrectly.

I understand mistakes can happen occasionally, but when it becomes a repeated pattern and there’s no effort to resolve it professionally, it gets extremely frustrating.

Just wanted to check — has anybody else faced similar issues with this branch or Domino’s in Pune in general lately?

Every time they show up, the show loses momentum. It’s just bad decisions stacked on bad decisions.

Isabel is exhausting. May swings between tolerable and annoying within minutes. Most of the younger characters feel completely out of place.

I was genuinely excited for this season, but it ended up feeling like a soap opera that occasionally remembers it has Titans.

And older Lee just doesn’t work. The forced hero angle feels off.

Bring back young Lee please 🙏🏼
