    So every entrance exam is going to be held from September? It will have millions of people at one place. :doh: 

     

    For engineering and medical entrance, the issue went to Supreme Court and they have ruled in favour of examinations.

     

    Justice Arun Mishra said "Life must go on, and we cannot put the education of thousands of students in peril." 

    It doesn't sound like the best idea with all those people, but SC must have given quite a bit of thought before making the decision, so best to have faith in court and govt that this will not aggravate the situation.

    Finished reading Amy and Roger's Epic Detour. Road trip across the USA. With that plot, nothing comes close to the movie Due Date starring RDJ and Zach Gal-whatever, but this was one of the best travel romance books I've read.

     

    Will recommend if you're craving vacation vibes while stuck at home like I am.

     

    6 books this month (two were re-reads) 

    Very solid reading month, probably my best in over this year. Will try to keep it up for the rest of the year.

    Shouldn't be too difficult, plan to read some great books now :)

    Is there any indication as to when regular flights between US and India will commence? 

     

    Also, is there any requirement to quarantine at a facility (other than one's own home) after landing in New Delhi from an international flight?

     

    Idk about regular flights, but my uncle came back from Tokyo, Japan about 2 weeks ago. He had to undergo mandatory quarantine at a hotel-turned-quarantine center.

     

    They had a bunch of options to choose from, he picked one 2 minutes walking distance from his place. Came home a week later, though he still did another week of self-quarantine in case he caught COVID at the quarantine center itself. 

     

    Not sure how much of it is relevant once regular flights are in place.

    Yup, 16 (17th coming Sep 22)

     

    BTW, what kind of light novels/genres would you be interested in? Just like books, there are tons of genres. As far as Devil is a Part Timer is concerned, I only read around 6-7 volumes. It got boring afterwards, once the initial charm of the premise wears off. There are better LNs out there.

     

    I watch pretty much anything when it comes to anime, so same applies to LNs I guess? 

    Action, Isekai, Harem, Slice of Life, Romance, whatever works. As long as the plot is good.

     

    I have a special liking for anime, where the protagonist is just blatantly too smart, like Death Note, or Classroom of the Elite, where the MC just outclasses everybody, but that isn't a genre. Anyway not looking for recs at the moment, will just read the LNs for anime I've enjoyed, probably Sword Art Online, its easily one of the more popular LNs out there, and I liked the anime adaptation. 

     

    I'll read Devil is a Part Timer sometime, will stop if its gets boring.

    Oathbringer though. It's one bad news after the next. Not a good book for the MCs, like at all. And then the 3-4 year wait after that. Hope the 4th one is better in that regard.

     

    I mean, its a fantastic story, it just takes dark turns. But that is what makes Dalinar's backstory the best in my opinion. Sometimes I want to just read the flashback portions lol.

    Also perhaps that is kinda spoilery? 

     

    Well Book 4 comes out November, damn excited :wOOtjumpy::wOOtjumpy:

    The thing that most caught me by surprise is how clean the book has been so far, no swear words/cursing or in general no adult themes of any sort , in stark contrast to the books of grrm.  Goes on to show that you don't need any of them to get the reader's attention !

     

    This is an adult book, its meant for mature audiences, but it takes different concepts into account. You'll see with the various characters, especially with Kaladin.

    Other than the occasional use of the word bastard there isn't any cursing, or weird scenes. Its fantastic without them.

     

    Not a fan of the dialogue yet? Shallan and Dalinar have some of the most epic dialogues and lines ahead, feels like Sorkin-level dialogue at times.

    And Book 2 dialogues, oh man, sh*t hits the fan, no cap.

    I've been reading 'The way of kings' by brandon sanderson.  Finished about 1/3rd, its quite huge, might take me until the end of the month or even longer to wrap this up I guess :D

      

     

    Yeah, all the SA books are 1000+ pages, Oathbringer is even bigger, but they're all worth it. Wish they were even longer hehe

     

    1/3rd is a good chunk of the story, how're you liking it so far? I might seem a bit excited, but this is easily one of my favourite books ever lol

     

    PS. I'm up to discuss if you want to. Use spoiler tags, since some people might like to read it later.

    To ensure a game to be frre even after its free month for ps plus is over. Is it enough to just put it in basket? Or do I have to download? I can't access my PS4 as of now. But I have the app and actually bought ps plus from their web using mobile only.

     

    Yeah. What I do to confirm is that I click the Library icon (right-most, after all the games)and its categorized clearly. Click the PS Plus games tab, and it should show the free games. 

    You can download them anytime.

     

    With COD this month, I could not add it to the library like I normally do, only option was download, and I didn't want to download a huge game right then.

    You can click download, then go into the notifications section, where it'll show the download progress, and click cancel. 

     

    It will then be added to your library, you can check using the method I mentioned ^^

    Thanks for the info. will wait for days of play or Black friday. also how can i check my current ps plus expiry date? The psn store is crap im unable to find it

     

    Whe web store is complete sh*t.

    I'd recommend using the PS Phone app, it has a PS Plus section, and you can find it under account details in the profile section. 

     

    If you can switch on the PS4 itself, just click PS Plus, should be the left-most option on the home page, or check in the settings section. Would recommend turning off auto-renewal while you're there, just in case. 

     

    If you bought it for 2099/-  this past Days of Play, your sub will be till 2021 April, like mine.

    I got a 1080p one with and dedicated gpu an year or so back for 48k. It's still trash though. Gaming laptops suck.

     

    Battery life will be really bad after a year or two, and most are two heavy to lug around from place to place. 

     

    Wouldn't say gaming laptops is the way to go, unless perhaps the MaxQ tech ones (Zephryus line-up) from Asus. The G14 is the model if I'm not wrong, retails near the 1L mark.

    Taking a break from epic fantasy, will read more chill stuff until mid-September. 

     

    Finished Her Royal Highness last night.

     

    Short romance read, pretty good. A bit cliched, but its a girl-girl romance so expected that. 

     

    5th Book this month. I can probably squeeze in one more this month :)
