Has your phone ever made you feel like it was listening?

So recently I was talking to a friend about a pretty specific makeup product (Renee Nude Lake H20 Hydrating Glossy Liquid Lipstick) and I hadn’t searched for it or even typed the name anywhere.

A little while later, I started seeing ads for that exact product everywhere. Instagram, YouTube and even on random sites. I know there are plenty of explanations for this: maybe people around me were searching for the same thing or the algorithms were being ridiculously good at predicting what I wanted.

But when the timing is that specific, it still feels creepy. I just wanna know has this happened to you too? And if it has, do you wonder whether your phone was listening?

Couldn't resist buying this edition of Wuthering Heights.

I originally walked into the bookstore just to browse, but this cover convinced me otherwise.

For those who've read it, did it live up to the hype? Any spoiler-free advice before I start?

Want to get an acoustic guitar for a friend's birthday, any recommendations?

A close friend's birthday is coming up, and I want to surprise him with a new acoustic guitar. He's been playing casually for a while and mostly enjoys fingerstyle. Nothing super professional, but definitely more than a complete beginner.

My budget is around 10000 rupees (flexible if there's a guitar that's really worth it). I'm looking for something with good sound, solid build quality and that will last for years.

Any brands or specific models you'd recommend? Also, are there any guitars in this price range that I should avoid?
