I'm heading over now, will update if I find some info about vehicles. I'm told the entire airport road is closed for non-show vehicles and only BMTC buses are allowed. I'm taking the airport volvo for this reason. Can you take as many pictures of the DRDO stall please? The ejection seat, tapas engi...

After much deliberation, I am heading to AI tomorrow just to see the Air Show...will be @ ADVA area. I just booked the ticket along with vehicle pass but the pass is yet to be received. After some reading, it looks like pass will take some time to reach mailbox. For folks who attended either today ...

You can't go to ADVA with the exhibition ticket, but you can see the flying displays equally good from the open display area on the exhibition side. Yes, the view is actually better from...

Yup!! All set for the show. Team is already busy setting up the stall. Moi being big fish, will land at site only on Monday. The fruits of past three years of struggle will be on display this time. All the best, saar. If it's all right with you, I'd love to come by and say hi. Please let me know wh...

Also, from BRFites, do we have a sense of who's going when? Any plans to meet up in the event? I still remember the BRF meet at shiv saar's place in 2017 - quite a few regulars were there: Zynda, suryag, Bala (IIRC) - it was good fun. Can we do something this time as well, considering the last event...

I have a question about the business pass: the form requires a GST no., but I don't have one (technically, I'm an individual enthusiast). This was never asked in the past, so it was not an issue earlier. What are individuals doing to address this? Any suggestions?

arshyam

shaun or others, would there be bus service from Koramangala to the venuue & back? Any idea? There are buses from Majestic, HSR etc. I think you can even take the airport buses and they'll stop at the base. Most airport bound Volvos (Vayu Vajra) go via the Yelahanka airbase. I usually take this...

The dravidian stockitsts running TN today also sent a communal tableau. Lesson learnt from last year I suppose, when their rationalist entry had been rejected and they had to contend with running it up and down the state-level parade.

Switching gears a bit, WTH is going on in Telengana? KCR skipped the entire Republic Day event in Hyderabad. Apart from the complete anti-constitutional impropriety, how will this go down with the voters? Or will it not?

I think history will write 2022 as our inflexion point. Sort of like the 1956 landmark of interstate construction in the US.

Fully anticipating DD to mess up the fly past coverage, per their own hallowed traditions. Less visibility due to foggy skies will only make it worse.

Indeed, we can get to see the Arjun, Nag, Vajra, Brahmos, Akash, ALH Dhruv, ALH-WSI Rudra and LCH Prachand, among others. And these are from the military in-service contigents, not DRDO. Looks like we want to make a statement about domestic tech.

Neela-ji, IIRC, Musk fired Parag and Vijaya for "cause", which means that their severance package wouldn't have been as much as per contract. Basically some severance, but nothing earth shattering.

I think I read that piece of news on this thread only.

arshyam

The oil price cap applies only to non-pipeline crude, and HS Puri in that CNN interview completely demolished that self righteous proposal, implying (my reading) that the proposal itself is aimed at us.

So Yellen will have a hard time selling it to us, to put it mildly.

arshyam

This mediation proposal is a trap we should avoid falling into. It will be used against us in cashmere down the line. Best we should do is to get Russia and Ukraine talk bilaterally and solve it to their satisfaction. Beyond that, none of our business so long we get our oil for a good price.

I think the 60% comment applied only to the intelligence dept, not the TN police overall. But it is indeed sad to see how the once famed Q branch has fallen to this low, something Annamalai also echoed.

Arshyamji,Regarding the separating line, I apologize. I use a desk top and never a cell phone for reading BRF.

I was not aware of this. In any case, those on temporary work visa (H1B) do not get any return from their Social Security/Medicare contributions, when they return back to India after 5-6 years. Their employer's contribution to both is also "lost". That is a net profit for the US federal g...
