All tourist visas suspended by the Indian Ministry till April 15th 2020.
"All travellers including Indians, arriving from or having visited China,Italy,Iran,Republic of Korea, France, Spain and Germany shall be quarantined for 14 days."
Apart from these countries, travellers from other countries might be subjected to 14 days of quarantine as needed.
Better to put all the plans on hold now even if the ticket deals are amazing.

Thailand isn't that dangerous man, just remember to wear protection so you don't get other infections.
Thailand by itself may not be dangerous but not the hoards of people coming from different countries through different airport transits, encountering thousands of other people on the way. Better be safe than sorry.
But I agree with the other infections part, lol.

No the weather is favourable, I prefer colder temperatures. Not snowy, but the 10-20 degrees is what my family likes.
Yeah I'm not booking anything yet which won't be refundable. Who knows what might happen? But as of now Australia is looking okay, why did you cancel though?
Transit spot will be either Singapore or KL.Though my aunt had tickets to Vietnam in this first week of March, Singapore Airlines cancelled but they refunded the money minus convenience fee.
By favourable temperature I meant about the reports which says Coronavirus will slow down in areas with warm temperatures. Many new studies and reports are saying that virus will still end up spreading.
But in cool/cold temperatures like 10-20 degrees, the virus will certainly be more active.
I cancelled because the stop was in Singapore and Australia is a tourist place, people come from all over. The chances of contamination are high.
Airlines are refunding the amount but as far as I know, only for the tickets which were booked before the outbreak or which has travel in March. If you are buying your tickets now while knowing the risk, airlines might not give you refunds.
I will advise to not plan your trip but if you do, pay more for the fully refundable tickets and hotels.

I know its mostly China, and Korea and certain parts of Europe like Italy etc which are affected most.
But green light for Australia? That's where I planned to go this summer, thankfully seems okay with respect to the Corona Virus epidemic but since most flights go through SE Asia, and usually have lay-overs I'm kinda worried.
Flights these days are getting cancelled left and right right now, although I plan to go in June.
Please advise.
It's mostly those places for now but the virus travels. I will advise to not make any firm plans right now or atleast book flights and hotels which are refundable because the way it has been spreading, it's not too far fetched to imagine that more countries will report it especially with the new measures going in to increase screening accuracy.
And since Singapore is probably gonna be the spot for transit, it's better to be safe than sorry.
I myself had plans for Australia in May but I am not going through with them. Plus, don't let anyone tell you that hot Australian weather will help because May/June is Winter season in Australia and many studies are coming up with showing resistance to weather for the virus.

Where do you buy these from?
These are readily available in stores like Modern Bazaar. Also available on Amazon etc. But since these are imported these are more expensive. A single pack is 125 while you can get 5 pack of 2X spicy for 500 on Amazon right now.
I remember that I brought back almost 20 packs when I went to Dubai, were just 50 a pack.

You can cancel it right away after first 3 months and I did confirm it.
You have to give the Firestick back when you cancel it, that's what the Tatasky guy said.

There was a number to give a missed call on. (Shows on the Tata sky home screen ads)
Although there is a monthly charge(for 3 months) on compulsory subscription of Tata sky binge something, rest is free.
If you don't find it, directly call the helpline and ask for the number to avail the offer and get a callback for when you wish to get them installed.
There aren't giving Fire stick for free, they are giving a 3 month trial and post that you have to pay 249/month. So basically you are renting the stick with added apps access in which I think only Hotstar is even remotely good.
Depending on how long you want to use it, you might be better off with buying the stick yourself.

Which is the better brand, does tasting olive oil mean something different ? (Both are light category)
would go for bertolli if tasting doesn't mean something ?
Sent from my ASUS_X01BDA using Tapatalk
Both are the same. Tasting just refers to "food grade" which is nothing but nonsense marketing.
If you liked it the last time you bought it. Then go for it.
Also, give extra virgin olive oil a chance, that is more expensive but healthier and has a better taste. Maybe you can try in sample quantities first.

You have a Microwave Oven, not just a Microwave.
Any time you are setting a temperature, you are using oven mode, not Microwave.

Guys a little OT- But Qc 35 or Wh1000m3? and whats a good price for either?
Currently qc35 is 29k and wh1000m3 is 25k on Amazon
Mainly will be used for Music and movies, with Gaming now and then.
1000XM3.
Much better ANC, better sound and Type C.
Plus a much better app for tuning.
Plus if you have high resolution audio, LDAC support might come in handy and reduce latency.
Personally I find absolutely no major difference with wearing any of them over long periods of time.
Also no matter which one you choose, you will get a split second delay in movies and games over Bluetooth, might not be as much of an issue for you but try them before you buy.
But you can just plug them in for the time being via an adapter or audio jack. Not much of an issue.

You can build endurance but you can't build muscle with that high repetition. In fact super high reps actually start eating your muscles for energy by breaking them down for glucose. The golden range is 8-12 reps till failure for building muscles. There's also two kinds of muscles in your leg, twitch muscles and slow acting one. Twitch gives you that explosive power that sprinters, jumpers and football players have that lets you move fast, while slow acting ones give you actual strength. High reps might build your twitch muscles and improve cardio (because anything legs = cardio) but not your quads or glutes.
That's actually not entirely correct.
High repetition sets make your muscles be habituated to low oxygen and creatine environment. After a while, when new fibres get constructed they will not only provide you better endurance but also will be able to produce the same power with less resources and in presence of excess resources increase your max capability, which in turn increase your muscle size since now bigger and stronger muscles will replace them in future.
I am not saying that you can do high rep regime everyday but once or twice a week won't be enough to increase glycogen breakdown to such extent that you lose muscle.
Also, 8-12 reps till muscle failure is not recommended because then the same muscles won't be able to do their secondary job of being "support muscles" the next day/days.
8-12 reps till your muscles get tensed up i.e. that a rope is tightly winded around your muscle.
Aim for muscle failure and max only once a month.

So after almost a year's break (thank you genetically inferior knees) did a proper leg workout. Deadlifts, barbell squats, 250 pound leg press, hamstring curls, the works. Couldn't get down the stairs without holding railings after the workout but felt great. That was 5 days ago and they're still soar. Looks like I can only fit one solid heavy leg day per week. 15 years ago I could've fit 3 per week while binge drinking on weekends and getting blacked out. Getting old fking sucks.
Dude, don't do deadlifts if you are just getting back into gym. That is one of those exercises which doesn't provide enough return when compared to the risk you are taking in.
And also, I would recommend to swap weighted sumo squats over deadlifts for your legs.
Keep deadlifts mainly for your back routine and start with them once you don't get muscle soreness for a week.

Yes,i always buy alive only when there is an option.
Freezer ? Frozen fish is dead only.
By alive I mean kept in huge containers filled with water, and the dead ones either frozen in ice or kept on the ground.
I meant that Rohu in my area is not frozen as it's fresh and gets sold off on the same day and hence doesn't go in the freezer.

@kunjanp @GunnerY2JThe walking catfish you are referring to, is it Magur fish? and they are sold alive here for 180/- to 200/- kg.
You'd mentioned waghur fish before, are they both the same variety(Magur/Waghur).
Magur also is a variety of walking catfish but I am assuming the one @GunnerY2J is referring to is the bigger kind.
Singi is the more expensive one, vendors end up calling it as Magur/Waghur just because of the same species.
Magur/Waghur on the other hand is different in taste and texture, not really as good as Singi and hence cost less for some purposes. But maybe it works good enough.
You will know when vendor offees two different kind at different prices but calls both of them as Magur/Waghur.
Also, I would always recommend to pay extra and buy fish alive. Rohu is usually dead because they are sold easily and hence doesn't go much in the freezer.

I am expecting singhara to be cheap, have seen it and was kept in quantity and both rohu and this is generally kept as dead (rohu particularly is always dead)
And yes, rohu is extremely bland and tasteless - that's why would try a starter instead of a curry.
While Walking catfish and murrel are always kept fresh and alive in water.
(You also have the option if dead to buy at 100 Rs cheaper for these two)
I would recommend to always buy alive fish even if it costs more.
Rohu will mostly be dead because it's sells easily, they hardly worry about freezing it but still I have seen alive Rohu.
Just try Singhara, that would work for you.

Need to check it out.
300-400 will be a very good price,
considering now goat meat is 540 (and only expected to rise)
and murrel 600 rs.
Medium sized prawns also are also like close to 500.
Singhara is a variety of catfish which is less expensive than walking catfish but it's not necessary that you will find it for the less price, it's highly dependent on where you live.
It tastes almost the same and is an alternative.
Works well for tikkas.
Most of the Rohu I have come across are farmed in natural lakes, your mileage may vary.
Also is a bit bland but it usually used to champion the other ingredients rather than the fish itself. It's more for the texture.

Fish variety question again : @STICK3Rboy @kunjanp
So, the snakehead murrel fish ? (Not sure but is said maral locally) now has risen upto 550-600 rs kg here, so I am considering shifting to other cheaper variety.
There's also waghur (walking catfish) which I haven't yet eaten costing 700/kg.
One option I see regularly but comparitively way less flavorful is the silver rohu - 200 rs kg.
Try to make something else out of it because its curry was not worth it.
And maybe I could eat it once a week, mainly want to know if it is any harmful - like is it artificially farmed or something to make it this cheap like broiler chicken.
Murrel and catfish are always going to be more expensive especially around this time of the year because their population drops in winters.
As for Rohu, it naturally maintains a healthy population throughout the year and hence availability, so that's why it's comparatively cheaper.
And it's very nutritious.
It's not artificially farmed per se, that depends where your local market sources fish from.
But I don't think you will have any problem with it.

It stops being pointless if that's what your audience wants and gives you $800 million for it. After all, they are in a entertainment business, this is not Olympics.

Why? No one wants that.
Millions of people who bought and watched the first one certainly do want it.
Also Mayweather also posted about a bout with Khabib but Conor will bring in more money and definitely is more capable of a boxer.

so samsung better than LG?
I bake a lot and microwave oven would probably be the most used thing in the kitchen and Samsung has always produced best results. LG is not as good as it used to be in Kitchen Appliances, also I always found Samsung to be better priced than LG.
