who's this guy ?

who's this guy ?

Genuine question, who is this guy? The only thing I ever see him do is rant about iQOO. His own iQOO Neo 10 got bricked and was eventually replaced with a Vivo X200T.

I completely understand that people are having motherboard issues, and if your issue is legitimate and there’s no physical damage, iQOO should handle it. How do I know? I had to replace the battery on my iQOO Neo 9 Pro when the battery was out of stock. I told them I was completely fine with waiting even a month just call me when it’s available. And they did.

In fact, when they couldn’t source the battery, they were even willing to replace my phone with an iQOO Neo 10, despite my phone already being out of warranty.

So if you don’t even reach out to the brand or the service centre and try to get the issue resolved, what exactly do you expect to happen?

Chaulabhaja waterfall: the timing guide I wish I had on my first trek (8 climbs later)

Chaulabhaja waterfall: the timing guide I wish I had on my first trek (8 climbs later)

Most people will tell you, “As long as there’s daylight, it’s fine.” Technically, yes — I did my first Chaulabhaja trek around noon too.

But after 8 climbs, I’ve figured out the timing that actually works best, from starting the trek, reaching the waterfall with the best lighting, climbing to the summit, and getting back home without rushing the descent.

If you reach the summit after 2–3 PM, you already know how late the return gets, especially if you’re coming from Baripada or nearby areas.

I put together a complete lighting and timing guide (based on the trail, elevation, and multiple visits) covering:

The best time to start

The best waterfall photography window

The best summit timing

When the light becomes harsh

And the ideal return schedule

This isn’t a tourist guide - It’s the schedule I’d follow if I were doing Chaulabhaja again tomorrow.

Hope it saves someone a few hours and gets them better photos.

Bought 3 jerseys last month… and Adidas still tempted me

Bought these three jerseys last month and genuinely thought I was set for at least the next three months. Then Adidas came back with the 2026 club away jerseys and completely destroyed my self..control.

Being a football jersey fan is basically a never-ending cycle of “I’m done buying jerseys” until the next drop 😭

Got my iQOO Neo 9 Pro battery replaced under a special Vivo service offer (worth checking out)

Just got my iQOO Neo 9 Pro battery replaced, and I didn’t even know there was a special battery replacement offer going on at the Vivo Service Center. The whole process was surprisingly smooth, and they replaced the battery in under an hour.

They also gave me an OG iQOO cover, which was a nice bonus.

If you’re using an iQOO Neo 9 Pro and your battery health has dropped, this is probably the best time to get it replaced. The experience was genuinely hassle-free, and I’d definitely recommend checking with your nearest Vivo Service Center.

A Blessing I'll Always Treasure

Some moments can't be planned, they simply happen by grace.

Amidst the sea of devotees at Dwitiya Srikhetra, I was incredibly fortunate to receive 3 Biseshata Gudo Laddo prasads. In the midst of the sacred procession, I was also blessed to obtain a small piece of the holy rope that pulled the Lord's chariot, a cherished symbol of devotion and divine grace.

These may seem like small things to others, but to me they are priceless blessings. I didn't earn them by strength or luck alone,

I truly feel they came to me through the Lord's kindness.

I will preserve them with deep reverence as a reminder of this unforgettable day and the immense grace I was fortunate enough to receive.

Jai Jagannath. 🙏

Failure disguised as a lecture on civic sense.

Whoever made this video must've either had a personal grudge against Baripada or just wanted clout. They made four murals, and half of them got washed away in the rain. I know because I was literally there, drenched from head to toe, watching it happen. But I guess blaming the people gets you more views, right?

is this the best Amul drink ever ?

i haven't tried every Amul drink out there, but I've had most of them, and this is easily the best IMO. Drop your favourites, the chase begins 👀

88,000+ KM Later, My Dream Bike Is Still My Home

My R15 V3 wasn't just my first bike, it was my dream bike.

Over the last 8 years and 88,000+ kilometers, it's been there through everything. From rides with my first girl to rides on some of the darkest days of my life. From 300+ km non-stop journeys to being parked away from me for nearly two years. The funny thing is, no matter how long I'm away from it, the moment I ride it again, it feels like home. People see a motorcycle. I see memories, lessons, heartbreaks, friendships, and freedom. Today, my only concern is the future. With E20 fuel and talks of E85 becoming more common, I honestly don't know what lies ahead for older machines like this. All I know is that I hope this bike never dies. And as long as I'm around, I'll do everything I can to make sure it doesn't. Thank you, R15 V3. For 88,000+ kilometers of memories and counting. ❤️🏍️

Football Jerseys

I know finding football jerseys here in Odisha is still pretty niche, especially new-season jerseys, you barely see them around. But for all the “Jersey Junkies” like me, I think I finally found the perfect spot. The shop’s called “Sports Gear” (you can find it on Google Maps). The shop itself is kinda small, but the collection genuinely surprised me. From latest-season kits to retro and concept jerseys, they’ve got almost everything. And for the proper Jersey Nerds out there YES, they even have PLAYER VERSION jerseys at prices that are dangerously hard to say no to.
