My general 3 day London itinerary (assuming its your first time):
Day 1: National Gallery, Portrait Gallery if you have time, Buckingham Palace
Day 2: British Museum, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens
Day 3: Tower of London, London Eye
Be sure to fit in: Afternoon Tea, Indian food, SE Asian food (use yelp or food blogs to find)
Note: Museums and gardens close pretty early, you might need to get an early start to fit everything in. Some places you can skip the line or get a cheaper ticket if you book online so be sure to check. Lots of student discounts so bring your old college ID

Barcelona: Park Guell, Parc de la Ciutadella, Gothic Quarter, the fountain in Montjuic

I did solo travel in London. Found a hostel in Leicester Square and it was super convenient to all the main spots. How long will you be there?

Tarragona is an hour train ride away from Barcelona, cool little town with great people and Roman Ruins, will definitely fill up your day and worth a visit

La sagrata familia church is barcelona.

Hawksmoor for a nice steak and Corsica Studios for a club in London.

Westin in Berlin is OK (paid myself). The Trafalgar in London is great (company paid).

Get tickets online in advance to the Reichstag dome. They’re free but spots fill up

In Berlin, eat at Gugelhof (reservation recommended) and Marjellchen (reservations a must, even for 1, I suggest asking to sit at the bar)

Hi All. What is the best way to allocate 25 Lakh INR in savings into different investments to maximize returns. I recently moved out of India so Tax rebate is not a consideration for me. I already have 6 lakh plus invested in PF and MFs but I want to invest more as my money is getting depreciated in the savings bank account.

I also have an education loan with balance of 7 lakhs which I am planning to repay in lumpsum as there is no tax exemption now.

Thoughts: Managers and senior managers should intervene when project folks starts working more than 8 hours. It's sad that initially everybody talks about 8 hours work goal but employee forced or end up working more than 10 hours. Company is not asking you to work more than 8 hours, it's the pressure from peers and seniors and managers who do "a gentle request" to finish a task asap.
Also managers, Please teach new techies to hold the horses and not put there peer in pressure.
