In an era of use & throw (or exchange) cars in India after 7-8 years

Diesel makes great sense for 50:50 use, 1500+ km running and stress free long trips with family anywhere.

We are lucky to have cars like Altroz, Nexon, Venue, Sonet, 3XO, Sierra, Seltos, Roxx and 7XO in diesel in budget to cater this used case.

Airtel 5G from past few days:

• Unstable network
• Poor internet speeds
• Frequent call drops

Are you guys facing the same issue?

[Ranjit @geekyranjit]

With all the E20 Petrol now across India, noticing some issues in not so older cars, yes cars sold in the last 2-3 years are E20 compliant, but what about older cars @volklub

Is the Govt indirectly telling users not to buy Petrol cars as of now?

I have moved to EVs but reality is not everyone can do that and when ppl buy cars and keep them for 10-12 years so why force E20 Petrol on cars that are not designed for that engine, won’t it degrade those vehicles.

₹250 Avocado sapling planted 4 years ago in our backyard is now bearing 100-120 healthy fruits.

One of the best investments we made wasn’t in the stock market…
It was growing pesticides free food.

Woke up to news of Tim Cook transitioning from his role of CEO to Executive Chairman.

The next CEO of Apple? John Ternus.

From a hardcore sales genius, to a hardcore engineer.

As a tech nerd, I am excited to see if Ternus follows Cook's playbook or Jobs'.

Will he continue Apple's current global supply dominance and services might? Or, go back to the roots of building hardware that brings more joy?

Fun times ahead.
