Hi guys, got a 15ish hour train journey coming up. Any good recommendations for a carry case?
I'll be travelling in 1AC, is it safe to maybe ask the railway guys to chill it in their freezer? (do they have freezers in train pantry?)
Sonam Wangchuk has put his life at stake for students' rights. A man who has nothing to gain out of this, and a man who has done more for students than the entire Modi govt put together. Sonam Wangchuk is a hero, and a man who has frequented Mussoorie too, conducting several sessions at the LBSNAA.
Just imagine if you fucked up as badly as Dharmendra Pradhan at your job, would you still have a job? This man needs to be sacked.
Modi and everyone associated with the BJP are incompetent, spineless, communal, and heartless. But we are not. Long Live Sonam! May the resistance continue.
This subreddit officially stands by Sonam.

Got a stay at a Taj Club Room coming up for the next couple of days, I have this as a part of the club room -
Are these cocktails free/unlimited or will they be billed later? :p
I stayed at The Savoy by ITC in Mussoorie. This is one of the most beautiful properties I have been to. It has that english colonial period look. It used to be a summer house for British officers.
I got the mountain facing English themed premium room. It had a balcony as well.
Food was great, and overall hospitality was also good. Great indian snacks at high tea and evening cocktail hours. We were celebrating a birthday and they offered us complimentary champagne.
They had evening bonfire, music, and other fun activities for all residents. There was a gaming room as well that had pool table, table tennis, etc.
overall it was a fun and cozy stay.
Hi, Got a bunch of questions (more like a LOT of them lol) about psyllium husk/isabgol and wanted to know what the general consensus here is.
lastly, most importantly, how are you not getting that 'dadaji' feel when you crack open a dabba of isabgol😭😭😭😭
Started Mounjaro 2.5 on 8th April, and moved to 5mg a month later.
down exact 10kg today after 50 days.
my biggest learning is that there will be one terrible day a week (diarrhea) and about two managable days of constipation. but then the other four days are pretty much life as usual.
ps the slight increase and plateau in the graph was due to travel. ate pretty much everything but in extreme moderation.
Stayed at the iconic The Savoy, Mussoorie and absolutely loved the old-world British-era charm it carries. The property feels royal, elegant, and full of history. The weather in Mussoorie adds so much more beauty to the overall experience, making the stay feel even more magical. The activities included by the hotel were also thoughtfully planned and genuinely fun.
The only area that could use some improvement is the breakfast spread — it was decent, but didn’t quite match the overall luxury experience of the property. Overall, still a beautiful and memorable stay.
For context: 4 shots of 2.5mg Mounjaro, and 2 of 5mg so far, lost 8kg in 40ish days.
How are you all dealing with stomach-related side effects? It seems that i've had a constant loop of constipation (about 4-5 days) ---> diarrhea (about 1-2 days). Usually the first day after the shot and the last day before the shot seem to be the calmest of the lot, but the third day or so (when glapp shows peak, or just after the peak) is the worst. Thankfully i am on WFH but I do need to head out for work once every 10-15 days or so and I'm just hoping those are not one of "those" days.
In my first three weeks I've had only constipation - which I thought was a nuisance but now in the last three weeks, I am praying to get back to that phase where i didn't know if it's a fart or a shart coming up :p
I've been taking lopamide for diarrhea and pepto bisgram for sulphur burps (and also diarrhea). It feels like im popping one of these nearly daily now.
How are you guys dealing with stomach related side effects? Are they as intense?
Someone please tell me we all go through it equally bad so it makes me feel less horrible 😛 thx

Feeling an intense wave of nostalgia as Ted Turner passed away today. The man who believed cartoons too, like news, should have a 24 hour channel.
Here in India in the 90s, the Cartoon Network channel would switch to TNT channel late in the night, where one could watch WCW wrestling.
Another bit of Cartoon Network (I refuse to call it CN) nostalgia is from the time it introduced the Cartoon Cartoons block of Hindi programming in India, opening up a world of cartoons to millions of middle class Indian kids who would learn one English at school that sounded nothing like the cartoons on tv. And then suddenly one day, Stanley became Sachin Sabnis …
Then there was ofcourse, Captain Planet. Ted Turner was the real life captain planet, buying so 2 million acres of land and giving most of it away for animal rehabilitation… RIP Ted! Thank You for everything you did for my innocent indian mind in those formative years ♥️
Looking to watch movies where characters are kinda sad/gloomy about how the world is changing around them - leading to their irrelevance and being reduced to antiques in their lifetime, something that gives you a feeling of helplessness. films where this realization comes with a kind of helplessness. Looking for films where characters have a strong sense of inevitability (not because of impending death but because of fading away)
Any idea where I can watch this documentary on the legendary Raghu Rai who passed away recently? It showed its on Docubay and Airtel XStream in the past but it seems to have gone from there as well.
