Peak civic sense at Sukhna Lake tonight. Why do people do this?

Peak civic sense at Sukhna Lake tonight. Why do people do this?

Walked up to one of the main entry points at Sukhna Lake tonight only to find this absolute gem of a parking job.

As you can see, this genius decided that the best place to park their massive Innova was directly in front of the stairs, completely blocking the walkway and forcing everyone to awkwardly squeeze past it just to get down.

Chandigarh is famous for its planning and supposedly "better" civic sense compared to other regions, but lately, it feels like people just don't care anymore. There is an entire designated parking lot just a short walk away, yet the sheer laziness to park right at the steps wins.

What are your thoughts on this? How do we deal with this growing lack of civic sense in the city? Do traffic police actively penalize parking right on pedestrian walkways/entrances at night here?

Okay, how quick can you guys identify this one? Found a retro legend in the wild.

I know this sub is basically full of detectives, so I’m curious to see how long it takes for someone to nail this. Everything from the trim to the headlights screams vintage, but it’s definitely not something you see on the road every day.

Are there any actual retro experts in here who can identify the specific year or trim? I have my guesses, but I want to see if the "car nerds" here can get it first.

I finally realized that "quieting the mind" is a lie, and it made my practice 10x better.

I spent the longest time feeling like a "meditation failure" because I couldn't stop my brain from thinking about my to-do list, that weird thing I said in 2014, or what I wanted for dinner. I thought mindfulness meant reaching some magical state of "blankness." It finally clicked for me this week: Mindfulness isn't about stopping the thoughts. It’s just noticing them without getting into a fight with them. Now, when a distracting thought pops up, instead of getting frustrated, I just internally say, "Oh, there’s a thought about work," and let it drift. It sounds so simple, but it’s shifted my practice from a "chore" I was failing at to a genuine moment of rest.

19,024ft later… The Meteor 350 officially conquered Umling La! 🏔️🏍️

They told me a 350cc cruiser wasn't meant for these altitudes, but the Meteor didn't get the memo.

Just made it to the top of Umling La Pass. The air was thin, the wind was brutal, and the climb was steep, but the J-series engine chugged along without a single hiccup. Honestly, the biggest challenge wasn't the bike, it was trying to catch my breath while taking this photo!

(And I am not kidding)

With construction on the Tribune Flyover set to begin soon, we are at a crossroads. Chandigarh was designed as a "humane city" by Le Corbusier—a grid of trees, open skies, and horizontal vistas. By introducing the city's first flyover, are we solving a traffic problem or simply becoming "just another Delhi"?

Let’s discuss why more roads often mean more cars (induced demand), and why we should be demanding better public transport and underpasses instead of permanent scars on our heritage.

There is something incredible about the silence up here. Looking out over the town of Leh from the Shanti Stupa, you really feel the scale of the Himalayas. The air is thin, the sun is sharp, and the view is absolutely timeless.

I’m officially a convert. The trackpad and battery life are on another level, but I’m still muscle-memory fighting some old habits. What are the "god-tier" keyboard shortcuts or gestures that changed how you use your Mac? I want to get to the point where I barely have to touch the dock.

I love reading arguments where nobody is actually getting hurt, but everyone is furious. Like people arguing over the "correct" way to store bread or neighbors fighting over a slightly overgrown hedge. I already know r/SubredditDrama—I want the source material. What are the best subs for petty, hilarious disputes?

Curious to see where the community stands on the Red Mode. Since the update to the Wayfinder and Modular Ultra faces, do you let the ambient light sensor handle it, do you force it "Always On" for the stealth look, or do you keep it off entirely? I find myself switching between them depending on whether I'm indoors or out. What's your setup?

From city streets to mountain passes, this bike has been my constant companion for 5 years and 67,000 KM. We’ve seen a lot of pavement together, and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Here’s to the next 67K!
