People in my team have, they went for a work trip. Can help with queries if needed. some last minute help : going to Ahmedabad tomorrow for Coldplay on 25th, does someone know the Gujarat alcohol law and best practice? I am a Delhi resident - I fly into Ahmedabad tomorrow, and have my flight out to Mumbai on 26th early morning. Please advise!

Folks, any advice on sim card/esim for the US? Travelling for 8 days. I might just get airtel international roaming but I always prefer having access to a local phone number....

Hi folks. Happy Diwali! Travelling to Dallas this weekend, for a work assignment next week. Office booked us on Air France, layover at CDG Paris. This is my first time travelling west. Anything to keep in mind? For the layover in Paris, anything about the US? Will be there for a week. Loyalty points, lounge access, etc advice?

Hey guys. Thought I'd just ask - I have 1 Vistara Premium Economy voucher expiring October 14th. Don't have any travel at the moment, does someone else have a requirement for domestic travel? If so, you may DM me or whatsapp me - and we can figure it out.

I'm in that first group. I didn't buy PS5 on Day 1, my PS4 Pro was going smooth. Thought I'd upgrade when the Pro came out but it seems a little lacklustre and the price is kinda steep. If I skip and just buy a standard PS5 to save money, then there is no urgency i guess and I do it when the discounts are decent. advice? -

Hello gutys, kaafi issue life mein, which is why I haven't been active on the forum much. can barely keep my job afloat. Need to share, can also use advice. to summarise friends : dad had some leg infection, he had a quick operation and a 4 day stay in the hospital in february. his insurance (not corporate) did pay for it but it was really annoying. so my dad, based on this poor experience decides to port over his insurance policy to Niva Bupa - having heard good things. he did it online, using Policy Bazaar. My dad's self employed, he's a freelance consultant and hence doesn't have the standard corporate benefits. The earlier policy was 20 years strong with just the 1 use. This happens in March. Post this operation, dad goes for follow ups and gets blood tests as one normally does. Numbers look weird for a while, but we wait to see if it resolves. When it does not, we consult a series of doctors. Conclusion, dad has 'hairy cell leukaemia', a rare type of cancer. The good part is the treatment is short and one usually goes into remission and is sorted for a good while. Dad got pretty ill though after a trip to Mumbai in early may, comes back to Delhi, we admit him to the hospital a couple days later for rest, recovery and this short period of chemotherapy. They keep him another 10 days or so. I used my corporate insurance (smooth as hell) but the coverage wasn't enough. Dad wished to use his policy for the rest (3L) but they denied cashless payment, and said we'd have to submit documents for reimbursment after paying the hospital up front. After 1-1.5 months of chasing this reimbursement claim, they deny it and cancel the policy on grounds of non disclosure. I know its not ideal to be ill right after you get a new insurance policy but sometimes these things just happen. Now, this money isn't the end of the world, and my dad isn't fully sorted but at least he's okay and he's home with us. I wish none of this happened to us, but what can I say. Is there any possibility of resolution? We've tried a fair few avenues already. Its about 3L in the hole. -
You guys, add me to the league + whatsapp chat, i think y'all should have my number already. created my team before gw1, just had to disappear off the internet.

Its more of a future proof thing, thats all. i haven't bought one this far so might as well get the latest and greatest, but I doubt I'd be taking it to its limits. -

Gotcha. Idk man, don't know what to do. I don't think there was any difference between the PS4 Slim and the old PS4, is there a difference with the PS5? Idk if i'm to buy, cuz price hasn't changed much since release. hoping I can source it from outside the country somehow, lets see. tempted to blinkit the damn thing some days hehe -

Hello folks. A little out of the loop, so someone give me the goss. 1. Are we getting a PS5 pro? 2. if so, when? 3. will it be worth waiting? 4. if not, when and where should I buy the regular PS5? I wanna play games again, my PS4 controllers have stopped connecting to my PS4 and I can't figure out the issue. PS. If I was to sell off my PS4 Pro, whats the going rate? -

So I'm on the verge of booking tickets for a trip to Thailand with the boys. Now on makemytrip - there is the mmtbiz (or corporate bookings) section. if I use my work email there, it automatically populates company and GST number. Its saving me a 1000 bucks each way on the booking. Will this get me in trouble or can I do this? Pls help if someone knows.

this gives me hope, you didn't mention it had been rejected once before and then got it. i'm not sure if I should try, I do have a shot for a different project at the end of april. I think I give fairly decent interviews, talking is my strong point. She didn't ask for any documents or anything, so I'm thinking I should fold my supporting letter from work into the passport when I hand it over, so she sees that this is work only. I am not trying to immigrate or settle there. I just would like to travel on company money, have some experiences. Been working 6-8 hours a day solely on this project, then I do the rest. Been working like a madman. Required to work entirely in US hours, 10AM - 5PM Eastern from Tuesday - Friday, which is why my company was sending me. Now i have to stay up the whole night and work too, because it did get rejected - but my team mates will still go. Yeah not end of the world, but I this kind of thing tracks. US visa is avenue to lots of other things also. I'm 10% sad that I can't go on this trip, and 90% worried about future implications of this. She was african-american, and yeah between 25-30 years old. Middle window, but they probably switch around. Yes I'm 22, unmarried, 4-5 months into this job. Not ideal, but I genuinely don't have any interest in living in the States. She did ask me those auestions at the end btw @KunjanPSD Her last questions were 1. Since when have you been working here? - I have been working at Sprinklr since September 2023. 2. What were you doing before this? - I was a student, was enrolled in an engineering program for my B. Tech degree. 3. Why are you going now? - I have been involved in this project from the very beginning, I understand the complexitities end-to-end, and the project is at a very critical juncture, for which my office is sending me to discuss these things during the client meetings (previously mentioned in purpose of visit) 4. Have you travelled for work before? - No, but have travelled to Vietnam, Singapore, HK, Macau recently as a tourist. My employer doesn't have a bad history, my friend from work got it approved earlier in the week. similar circumstances, but she's a girl and she's a year and half into this job. timeline was tight yes. interview was on friday, had written intended travel date as tuesday. But yes, feeling quite terrible. Its rare for a kid to get multiple chances. Had the visa gone through, could've been flying on a monthly basis. My dad offered to get a family property registered to my name if that helps, but they don't really bother with documents - and this might be taking it too far. I had rehearsed my answers for all the popular questions. Maybe its just dumb luck. my mother says I'm too fine a specimen and exactly the kind of people who stay and yoink jobs from the americans, so I should dumb it down.
