    Got it, thanks guys!

     

    multiple countries actually, plan isn't fully sure yet. 
     

    I can just Lufthansa from Del to multiple cities in Europe for about 22K one way.

    Anyway, is there any method to prioritise what country I should apply to for the visa?

     

    I know its usually country of entry/wherever you are spending most time. Will most likely be spending time with relatives in Switzerland, but I think they see a lot of tourist influx so is applying there a bad idea? @KunjanPSD

     

    I had gone to greece, got appointment after two weeks and Visa was delivered in 3 weeks. If you are planning to go to greece it can be an option.

    Guys, if I wish to travel to Europe around October/November will I get the schengen visa in time?

     

    Does it make a difference if I apply myself, or through some sort of processing agency or travel agent, to get it faster?

     

    and I need to book flights beforehand yes? 

    Apply immediately.

     

    No difference, apply yourself, if you are very confused take premium service, they will vet the documents for you before submission. I did it myself without any additional service, was pretty smooth if you are following the checklist.

     

    Yes

    Stuart Board retires from Cricket

     

    Stuart board will step out to bowl one last time tomorrow, let's hope he ends in a winning cause. What a career he has had, while we will always remember him for Yuvi hitting him for six sixes or Bumrah getting 29 runs off him in one over, he has been an amazing bowler.

    Was hoping to see him and andreson bowl together one last time in India tour, but that won't happen now.

    As for 3rd party connection with an iPhone - I tried it with my Corsair Virtuoso XT gaming headphones, I have to choose the device in BT menu each time I want to use it, not so seamless. Could be same connection hassle with other brands like Samsung.

     

     

     

    My sony used to connect with iPhone without any issue once they were paired.

     

    That said sticking to ecosystem is the best Idea, so even I will suggest Airpods.

    I so wanted to buy this but the bland shape and edges are turning me off..  still using the ancient Note 9 currently:fear1:.. will decide after iPhone 15 drop 

     

    Ya the phone switched off does look like a big black brick, but boy the colors are amaing and that camera is some serious good stuff. I thought of waiting for iPhone 15 pro, but iOS with all the limitations and with hardly any new updates in iOS 17, I decided to go back to Android for sometime.

    Congrats on the purchase...probably the best all rounder android.

    But damn 'mediocre iphone' is some statement.

     

    Obviously a personal statement, as a phone it is an amazing device, but iOS is just way to simple. I had reached a point where all I wanted to pick the phone was to make calls or reply on whatsapp, it had got that boring. Samsung offered me a very good exchange price for iPhone 13 pro, and it made the decision that much easier. The gap between iOS and Android has really come down, Samsung is now not Bloat loaded and lets you uninstall quite a bit of stuff directly.

     

    There are still things that miss about iOS almost about instantly, but the freedom that Android gives is next level.

    This.

     

    Only time I am interested in watching at stadium is when free pavilion tickets with food. Otherwise home or even a pub for World cup matches is best to watch.

    We do that all the time, it's a world cup and I would personally as well want to visit the stadium. Free pavillion tickets with food is a good option to have, but not majority get it.

    When are the tickets going on sale @AtheK?

    No idea man, BCCI are such asses, no clarity. I am guessing it should go on sale immediately after the qualifiers end next week.

    After watching soo many matches in Stadium, I have realised that Home is the best place. Unless ofcourse you get some VIP Tickets with free dinner and all for free. 

    that is true, but it is a World cup match, kiddo is excited, maybe I will go for one innings.

    I don't think Sarfaraz can pass yoyo test.

    Jadeja lost his sh*t when he was made CSK captain. He won't be able to handle the pressure of India's captaincy at all.

    Let him fail and then be dropped but atleast select him on that condition, ignoring some one making runs is so bad. 
     

    Ashwin should have been the captain of the team if not VC.

    No accountability, If pujara was dropped on what yardstick was Nohit and Kohli selected. Kohli atlease is still fit, Nohit is just next inzamam in making. Sad times being indian cricet team supporter as the supporters just keep selectors the fan over and only busy only filling coffers.

     

    I am foreseeing us not even making to semi finals of WC this time, what an embarassment will that be.

    Wat a dumb a*s selection committe, mr Nohit who is no good is still captain, rahane sudeenly becomes the VC.

     

    Performing chaps like sarfaraz, Jaiswal sit and wait. WI is anyway a depleted force, they might win and feel great about it, i hope the team go loose badly.
