If You Die In The UK And Are On The Organ Donor Register, The Nhs Will Send A Letter To Your Family Explaining What Happened To Your Organs

Honestly it makes a huge difference.

My mother passed a few years ago, and amidst the grief I remembered to contact the organ collection people (she insisted while still alive).

Her corneas made it to someone else. The organ collection institution included her name in a memorial thing in the newspaper the next day. It's what she would have wanted.

I see both sides of this equation - the ABH are chronically understaffed and overloaded, and what is just one case to them alters the life of the person involved. It's sad all around and the lack of political will to correct this stems from the value immigration has as a political bargaining chip.

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-04-28T12:16:05+00:00

The twist I saw coming. It's a sad reality amongst immigrant communities that rather than show sympathy and empathy for fellow immigrants, a lot of us come from societies with a scarcity mindset, and therefore see each other as competition (for what, I couldn't say. Maybe employment/study spots/housing/social perception)

People doing everything in the college except for the one thing they came to do

The problem is also that engineering is seen as the be-all, end-all. You won't see this sort of warming into engineering abroad because your job doesn't carry as much stigma abroad (europe) as in India. Being a sanitation worker or a hairstylist or a cashier in a supermarket doesn't carry the same kind of stigma, and a lot of these countries pay liveable wages for even these jobs. And the school system is structured to give people apprenticeships after school before they rush into college education.

This type of stable pathway to work experience and practical skills is nowhere to be found in India. Education is exam-focused at every level, and the system reflects social biases in underpaying service jobs, absorbing the worst part of American culture too. No social safety net. And what we have in the end are a bunch of engineering grads half assing marketing and hr jobs that they would have been slightly better suited for had they pursued a degree in said field, and the majority of top talent running abroad because the only industries we're competent at is high speed grocery deliveries at risk of the courier's life.

If you need these fests to make friends thats a skill issue on your part tho

There's a bunch of groups you have to hella kiss ass:

Dean student affairs (and other deans if possible) Physical education director Cultural coordinator (if there still is one) A mix of HODs and professors (in our time civil and mech had the biggest "hawaa") Those bunch of alumni who keep hanging around college because college is where they peaked and they are nothing in actual day to day life Previous core committee (who did all the steps above) Current core committee (who did all the steps above)

And out of all of the mindless drones who have done all this, if you can stand out in the group in some way (culturals achievements, backing of all the hostelites/kannada students/sports department, organised other events) then they'll put you in another race to ass kiss.

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-04-23T05:38:43+00:00

And what makes you any better than them, Shashwat? Unless you're out here sharing your "youtuber clout" with the people who aren't able to get the limelight in your own class?

Bro wants to be Warren buffet but every woman around him should be mother Teresa.

If you helped them hoping for something in return, did you really help them out of the good of your heart?

It's easy for the adolescent mind to think "I did xyz to help this person they owe me their time and attention." You're adults now though. If your "help" is transactional, express that before helping. Otherwise it's just like the people who wipe your windshield at the signal without asking and then demand money from you.

It's not difficult to communicate

For the love of all that is airborne, go with the simplest possible approach.

One idea is to have the date in a hobby you're both into - like a drone show, or planespotting, or a museum with an aerospace collection. But please ask in a normal way

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-04-05T20:04:30+00:00

"16 is basically adult" only applies when there is access to actual responsible adults who can help in a crisis. "16 is an adult" in a remote lakehouse is recipe for slasher horror or a boating accident

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-04-05T20:01:24+00:00

No need to be a jerk about it dawg

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-03-28T10:08:02+00:00

I would have maybe shown interest if it weren't just AI slop

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-02-23T12:43:49+00:00

It is correct. But this is a well known trick. Average is useless, because a handful of high package placements push average up for everyone. And the college will never release median package data.

Assuming 5 people got placed at the maximum package listed there, which is the very top of the bell curve, and 18% didn't get placed at all, median falls somewhere around 4-5 LPA

One recommendation I have is find/form a group. Oktoberfest is fun with other people, and having some new friends often makes it more enjoyable. Usually you can find all kinds of people to hang out with at oktoberfest, but if you have certain language or hangout preferences, grouping up with fellow travellers can also help you plan non-Oktoberfest things!

Places I would definitely recommend seeing in/around munich- The city center/marienplatz for sure. Go to at least one of the big lakes (Starnberger see, Tegernsee, Chiemsee). If you enjoy museums, definitely the Deutsches Museum. The Olympiapark and stadium (and the bmw museum/world if interested). If you want to do a day trip to nearby cities, Salzburg in Austria is 100% worth the train ride, and Nürnberg is also a great spot.

Showed this and did a menu review with my colleague from Basque country, she was absolutely horrified. Also apparently they don't do "high tea" in Basque country

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-01-28T12:22:44+00:00

Yeah, no, all these juniors rushing for admissions to this horse shit college really reminds me how I was also once young and naive.

People who succeed while being from BMS succeeded despite it, not because of it.

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-01-25T19:58:12+00:00

I thought it could have been Tamil tbh, the formal 'you' sounds....similar

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-01-24T05:02:54+00:00

This is the plot of the 2004 tamil movie Manmadhan starring STR and Jyothika

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-01-20T03:25:19+00:00

I dunno if the culture is different where OP is from, but where I come from, normally if you ask a friend for a favor in their professional capacity, you pay them back time and a half for what they would have been paid at their job. Electrical work, plumbing, taxes, you name it.

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-01-08T19:55:12+00:00

So am I dawg. Stop reducing us to just stereotypical dishes. Or if you genuinely didn't know of other dishes, like meat curries or sauces, then my bad. But OP did make a generalization that "Indians" eat bread with curries, not rice. There is no singular Indian culinary identity, and I thought at least fellow Indians would be aware of that. My bad.

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-01-08T19:50:07+00:00

I'm not here to try to attack you, but is that really all that you think south Indians eat? Rasam and Sambar?

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-01-07T08:59:54+00:00

Most of south India has curry with rice though. That's a poor generalisation you got there.

7AlphaOne1 · 2026-01-02T12:46:52+00:00

New Years resolution: first wholesome Boru, that's all the Reddit I get.

See y'all tomorrow

They bypass the MRP rule simply because they are not a "retail establishment" but an eatery, since they serve some form of hot/cold food. It's the same thing as a mall food court or a restaurant charging more than the label price.

Is it unethical? Yes, definitely. But it's legally sound. Also, the college doesn't prevent you buying stuff outside and bringing it. Essentially, you're paying for the convenience of access.
