Can you please share the link of that drone?

Look here, lots of options: drones - Buy Cheap drones - From Banggood

Although the Rs 1k drone which my friend bought didn't prove to be much useful. It was so small that we couldn't even handle a GoPro style action cam. So a good drone with sufficient size would be advisable. If you want to buy a proper DJI drones though, I would advice to wait a couple of months. New laws around drones in India are coming.

Resistance Bands | Resistance Tubes : Exercise material. I was advised to get a resistance band for a shoulder injury. And I loved it! Its like a mini gym, sort of.
Basically they are very stretchable bands and ropes. Come in various shapes and sets and strengths. loops, open bands, tubes, ropes, some with removeable handles etc..
IMP: You want good quality ones or risk smacking yourself with a one that breaks on stretching, LOADS of fake duplicate stuff out there.

Whole set of about 5 ropes with some handles seems to cost Rs. 1500. Bands - Rs. 800

The Resistance Tubes you linked to opens Cockatoo 5 in 1 Exercise Toning Tube Set. Is this what you meant? Currently it's on lightning deal at Rs 1599. Is it the best price?

Needles for those with poor eyesight. Rs. 50 for 10 pieces

This one was introduced to me by my mom :D . Picture explains :

*ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1QPcnb7fb_uJkSnfoq6z_epXaa/Hot-Elderly-Needle-side-Hole-Blind-Needless-threading-hand-household-Sewing-Manual-DIY-Home-Sewing.jpg_640x640.jpg

Needles where its (supposed to be) easy for anyone to put in the thread. Ordered 15 days ago, but seller is using a slower method of shipping. Advertised one was fast. Will probably have to dispute on aliexpress.. Should also be available on desi ecommerce. Try "Elderly Needle" "Blind needle" threading needles"

The price as of now is $0.61, shipping is free and new users have a $3 coupon. Will this come for free or is there any minimum purchase required for that coupon?

@billubakra Not sure about minimum purchase price. they do show exact amount you have to pay. So just proceed to checkout and see.

@whitestar_999 . For shipping method I try to go for the cheapest registered shipping method. Any one with tracking. Have lost a couple of cheap packages with "china post for small items"

Also: gentle suggestion to have separate theard/s for discussion.

Tack it - Reuseable gum - Rs. 100

*m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media/sota/58424cc5-0daa-4526-b591-0c913cde8934._CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970__.jpg

The great thing is they are removeable and even reuseable. Can make any surface magnetic, in the sense anything can be stuck anywhere. Like chewing gum. Except they don't go dry/hard and are not gross.
Not strong, but can be easily applied and reapplied for a variety of uses. I used them for creating hooks to hang wires, covering annoying LED lights , making sure wires don't come between a door , turn normal paper into sticky notes and you get the idea. Very useful. Highly recommended

Oh and the original concept is some foreign blutack thing. Can't comment on that, it is available on amazon though.. This faber castell works well

I use double sided tape to stick posters and other stuff. Does this Faber castell thing, more worth than double sided tape?

Tackit is different from a double sided tape. Has advantages for sticking certain things over double sided tape. Since its thick it can stick non-flat things, like wires, metal pieces. For sticking posters it may have an advantage of being less permanent .

Magic erasor. melamine foam. Melamine is used for soundproofing, turns out its great for cleaning as well.
Cleans stuff. Have used it. Its easy. and does work like magic. Needs some moisture, no soap.
Not completely reuseable. breaks down little by little. But still lasts long enough.

Very Cheap! Aliexpress: Rs. 65 for 10 . Big bazaar: Rs. 50 for one :/ . Though Aliexpress with free shipping may take 2 months, if it arrives.

Buy Products Online from China Wholesalers at Aliexpress.com

Glue gun is important to get good quality glue sticks
They do not work as intended always, having trouble sticking magnet to foam for example.
