my dad has been dealing with foot pain since a couple of years and honestly, travelling around Mumbai for years, must've ruined his feet.

i wanted to buy a foot massager for him, but I specifically needed a cordless one

i was highly skeptical because of the price tag, so we actually went down to the sleep company store in Andheri to test out their foot massager before dropping 25k on it

the in-store experience is what sold us tbh. it doesn't just aggressively vibrate like those cheap plastic massagers. it has something cool that makes you feel like its physically squeezing your calves and ankles, while rollers knead the bottom of your feet. it genuinely feels like a proper, deep-tissue massage.

i dont like the heating function though as it’s too hot already so i js turn it off rn but it will be great for winters ig.

we’ve had it at home for about three weeks now. the battery backup is fantastic, we both use it almost daily and i've only had to plug it in once. another thing I absolutely loved was that it doubles up as an ottoman. we use it as a foot stool with our sofa

if you want a wireless option that actually delivers a spa-level squeeze rather than just a surface-level tickle, it’s a solid investment for the family.

happy to answer any questions if anyone else is looking into getting one of these

I just need your suggestions here guys on if I should be buying 18 when it drops or should I go for the 17 pro as it doesn't make any sense to me to spend more just for a small feature

Also are there any tips on how and from where I should be purchasing it as in where I could get good offers and save money pls help out

Didn’t realise till recently that Sahil Cheema wrote 3 tracks on Venomz Vol. II by Raf Saperra.

Makes sense though his writing has that sharp, effortless feel to it. Not overdone, just clean and effective.Kinda nice seeing him get more visibility now. Feels like one of those artists who’s been doing solid work in the background and people are just starting to catch on

I was just looking at the Google Summer of Code results that got announced this month to see how India is faring. We are crushing it as usual, but there is a massive shift in who is getting selected.

It used to be entirely 3rd and 4th-year students from top NITs and IIITs. But this year, looking at the raw data, there is a huge spike in 1st and 2nd-year students cracking it.

Are standard VTU/tier-2 colleges finally changing their curriculum to focus on open-source, or are kids just ignoring college exams entirely to build their GitHub profiles? Anyone else looking at the data notice this?

My 3-year-old memory foam mattress has basically turned into a giant oven. Even with the AC running at 22, I was waking up with a sweaty lower back almost every single night.

I kept seeing ads for those mattresses with the rubbery grid layer instead of foam, so I finally caved and bought the basic ortho grid one from The Sleep Company (cost me around ₹18k).

I've been using it for a little over a week. The texture is definitely weird at first, if you use a thin cotton bedsheet, you can almost feel the little squares under you, which took me a few days to get used to. But honestly, the cooling factor isn't a gimmick. It actually breathes. I haven't woken up drenched in sweat since I swapped it out.

That being said, it’s not perfect. The edge support is honestly pretty weak. If you sit on the very edge of the bed to put on your shoes, the grid just completely collapses and you sink right down to the base. Also, the mattress is insanely heavy, which makes changing the fitted sheets a total workout.

So far, it's solving my heat issue, but I'm still a bit skeptical about how long this grid material actually holds up. For those who have owned one of these for 1-2 years, does the middle start to sag over time?

Would love to know what I'm in for long-term!
