Where in India are you? Delhi has such terrible pollution that if you're not used to it you'd probably get sick. I'm in Bangalore and it wasn't so bad last night but honestly my lungs are feeling a bit of it today and theres more of it tonight as well. Have a Guju community next door and they'll be celebrating into the night. Quote

Delhi air: Choking smog draws protests ahead of Diwali The air quality in the Indian capital is pretty bad at the best of times. But it could get even worse during the festival of Diwali as people let off fireworks. Some of those affected by the pollution are now calling on the government to act to avert what they say is a "public health emergency". 06 Nov 2018 (Video - link vv) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-asia-46118713/delhi-air-choking-smog-draws-protests-ahead-of-diwali Quote

Where in India are you? The real cause of the smog is farm stubble burning in the neighbouring Punjab, Haryana (which can be prevented); large scale construction; open garbage burning and old diesel guzzling vehicles. Crackers just heighten the problem but are a easy target for the idiot executive and judiciary to blame. Feel bad for the Delhi folks. The air is poisonous there. Not so bad here in Mumbai. @Mel81xcan't and shouldn't complain. Heard the weather in Bangalore has been pleasant for a long time. Quote

Heard the weather in Bangalore has been pleasant for a long time. Oh we always have good weather, its so nice outside right now I wouldn't want to be in the humidity you'll are in. I was there two weekends back and the minute I was out of the airport my shirt decided it wanted to stick to my back. Not that I mind of course but after living in Bangalore for so long now its hard to deal with humidity on a daily basis. Quote

Haha, when did you go? Last time I went India was in 2001 and also visited Bangalore as part of the trip. Main thing I remember is going to a huge shopping centre, Kemp Fort (?) and also seeing a huge 'murti' (statue) which just blew my mind at the time. Quote

Guest Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 I kind of miss the rain to be honest. I haven't seen rain in months, not even a drop. It doesn't rain a whole lot in Lima but from time to time you see small drizzle, but even that it's been a while. Quote

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 13, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 13, 2018 The guy looks pissed already carrying the cans of lager in the video Police make arrest in David Schwimmer lookalike probe By Kim Pilling, Press Association 3 hrs ago © Blackpool Police/@DavidSchwimmer (Blackpool Police/David Schwimmer/PA) Police looking for a suspected thief with a resemblance to Friends actor David Schwimmer have made an arrest in London. Social media users pointed out the likeness to Schwimmer’s character Ross Geller in the popular US sitcom when police in Blackpool posted an image of a man leaving a restaurant and carrying what appeared to be a carton of cans. Schwimmer later responded to the picture by posting a video to his Twitter account that showed him scurrying through a convenience store carrying a carton of beer before looking up furtively at a CCTV camera. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/police-make-arrest-in-david-schwimmer-lookalike-probe/ar-BBPEvsT?li=BBoPWjQ 1 Quote

The only other I had was Kirin beer, but that was a bit too malty for my liking. Quote
