Just do the needful when intimating with the recipient.

Kidding aside, you need to provide more context. Is the reason for using indian english for the recipient to understand you? In that case you don't need to, they should understand you fine with US conventions. If your intent is to act like a local, which I don't know why you have to, try googling sample emails and go from there.

I don’t think decline, rather normalizing.

I actually know someone like this. He's been in software engineering since the early 2000. I recently saw a post from him that he's now a firefighter recruit.

I have the same feeling as you and I’m going through my first home purchase right now. I can’t imagine myself paying something for 30 years, and I’m in my late 30s. What’s keeping me assured is:

  • Rent will just keep rising, and having a fixed payment that doesn’t go up for decades guaranteed is reassuring.

  • I got a reasonable rate on my mortgage, but if rates go down, I can always refinance.

  • As someone who prefers to pay in full on most things, paying an interest sucks. However, I can always pay additional on the principal every month when I have extra money, and eventually pay off the loan earlier and save money.

  • I’m building equity. Renting is basically paying your landlord’s mortgage. You’re throwing money into something that isn’t yours. At least with a home, you’re investing in your own property.

  • Climate change can change it, but real estate is historically the one asset that is almost guaranteed to appreciate. If there’s any major change in my life (moving, sickness, can’t afford it anymore, etc.), I can always sell.

Your body is craving for those electrolytes.

Have you ever had fresh coconut juice? Because it's so much better than whatever that liquid is that they put in pre-packaged coconut water sold in non-tropical countries.

I fill up when I hit 1/4 tank as well. Don’t wait for it to go below though, as it can be bad for the engine with deposits and other stuff in the tank.

Nice! I currently have a couple of services on MS Authenticator that I can migrate over.

Heavy users will definitely complain for the first couple of weeks, then they'll just move on to the next platform.

First time home buyer, so lots of firsts. First time going on a home search and checking out properties, first time shopping for a mortgage, first time going through contracts and legal documents, first time trying to find an inspector, etc.

Network of buses/trams and trains. Trains to get in and out of the neighborhood and connect to the city and other neighborhoods, and buses within communities to get around and to/from the train stations. Like a bus stop on every or every other block, then one or two train stations on every neighborhood.
