As someone who repairs washing machines, I can tell you tub dry is one of the most underutilized features! Here's the technical side:

How it works differently from regular dry: - Regular dry: Uses heating element → fast but hard on clothes - Tub dry: Uses only spinning and air circulation → slow but gentle

Benefits most people don't realize: - Energy savings - can use up to 80% less electricity than heat drying - Fabric protection - no heat means no risk of melting elastic or damaging synthetics - Wrinkle reduction - the tumbling action helps smooth out wrinkles - Odor prevention - keeps clothes moving so mildew doesn't form

Perfect for: - Sportswear with special coatings - Swimsuits and elastic-based clothing - Items you plan to iron anyway (gets them damp-dry) - When you're not in a rush and want to save money

Pro tip: Don't overload the machine during tub dry - clothes need space to tumble properly for it to work effectively!

Just booked a 2S ticket last week! Here's my step-by-step process that works smoothly:

Through IRCTC Website: 1. Create an account if you don't have one (need mobile number and email) 2. Complete profile verification (especially if you're new) 3. Search trains and filter by "Second Sitting" class 4. Select your train - look for trains with 2S availability 5. Fill passenger details carefully (name, age, gender as per ID proof) 6. Choose payment method - UPI, card, or net banking 7. Download e-ticket after successful payment

What to know about Second Sitting: - No reserved seats - you find empty seats when you board - Bench-style seating - usually 3-4 people per bench - Basic comfort - better than general class but no AC - Great for short trips (2-6 hours)

Mobile app tip: The IRCTC app often has fewer errors than the website during peak booking times. Also, if 2S is full, check the waiting list - it clears quickly since these are inexpensive tickets!

The key is booking early for popular routes, especially during festivals or weekends.

As someone who's lived in Mysuru for 10 years and tried multiple salons for my bob, here's my insider perspective:

For a TRULY classic bob (think Anna Wintour precision), your best bets are:

High-end: - Jean-Claude Biguine (The Quorum Hotel) - Expensive (₹2000+) but worth it for special occasions - Tony & Guy (Forum Centre Mall) - International standards, great for thick hair

Mid-range: - H2O (Vijaynagar) - Ask for Supriya - she understands classic cuts really well - Isha (Gokulam) - Small salon but the owner has 20 years experience

Budget but good: - Style Mantra (Saraswathipuram) - ₹400 and they do surprisingly good work

My personal favorite: Meera at Green Trends Yadavagiri - she does this amazing thing where she cuts dry first to see the natural fall, then wet for precision. My bob always grows out beautifully because of her technique.

Always book appointments for senior stylists, and go in the morning when they're fresh and not rushed!
