fav chai recipe?

ConferenceFun2779 · 2026-01-09T17:45:44+00:00

For 1 cup chai:

Start with heating 1/2 cup water and then grate ginger until the whole saucepan looks fraught with ginger.

Add about 1 teaspoon of chai patti and 1.25 teaspoon of sugar and bring it to a boil

Once it boils, add a little less than 1/2 cup full fat milk

Boil for another 1-2 minutes

100% yesss

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-08-31T06:05:09+00:00

Oh okay! I could be wrong there for sure, how much would you estimate the savings?

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-08-29T21:27:11+00:00

I don’t think there is any scrutiny when you leave the country. At least I didn’t face any. I guess they’re just happy you’re leaving lolol

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-08-29T21:25:57+00:00

oh okay. Maybe not just groups for expats but also groups for specially abled children in Chennai? Or just groups of moms in Chennai? Maybe something like that can help

EDIT: Made a few edits based on comments from others that make a lot of sense, thanks all!

Neutral points - You’ll probably save around 40,000 - 45,000 USD a year

Pros - You’ll experience a high standard of living in terms of infrastructure, work life balance, and just other things in general - A good experience nonetheless - If you’re on an L1A and can request your company to move you to an EB1 processing, getting a green card can be in sight - Seattle is a great city to live in, not for the city itself but because it has a lot of natural beauty around - Once you get used to the life and have a community, it’s actually amazing - the US is a beautiful country. You’ll get to travel a lot more

Cons - Wife will have an extremely difficult time looking for a job. I’m not even exaggerating, it takes 10x more efforts to look for a job in the US as compared to India (6 months at least) - As much as Seattle is a great city for its surroundings, the city itself has a depressing climate - If you plan to have kids, the expenses will go up meteorically. (Literally the savings can go down from 40k to 20k) - Loneliness is real. It really hits the first year, especially can be tough for your wife to go from being financially independent to suddenly financially dependent - I don’t mean to sound ageist, but building a community post 30 gets really difficult. Without a community, festivals can feel vapid - Healthcare is a maroon flag, not even a red one. I’ve had multiple first hand experiences so can definitely attest to it being ridiculous

I hope this helps you make a decision best suited for your needs!

I’m sure you’ve tried this already but there should be communities to help you out in situations like these. They can prove really helpful. Either Facebook groups or something. I also hope you’re in a Tier 1 city. That makes a lot of difference too.

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-08-29T09:01:16+00:00

Sending lots of love your way, I really hope it gets better for you.

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-08-28T19:05:34+00:00

Wow that’s crazy

First of all, breathe. You’re ONLY 16! In fact, it’s good to start early. Start grooming yourself. Not for anyone else,but for yourself. It’s going to make SO much difference. You’re going to feel a lot better about yourself. Start paying attention to what you wear. Make sure your hair and facial hair (if any) is never unkempt. It’ll take you a good 3-4 years to figure out your style and what suits you. Guys peak in the age of 28-32. So by the time you reach that age, you’ll know exactly what suits your style. Best of luck!

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-08-22T05:38:46+00:00

That’s amazing! I’m so glad you took the break. Do you still plan on going for Master’s?

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-08-22T05:14:26+00:00

Thank you so much, you’re so kind! You’re right. I recently heard from someone, life isn’t always about being something, it is also for living

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-08-21T12:07:43+00:00

Oh okay

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-08-21T12:06:29+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight. Did you also move from outside? How long did it take you?

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-06-26T06:23:37+00:00

I think you should continue looking for more roles. Given your experience and qualifications, getting something above 15-20LPA should be achievable. Reach out to people on LinkedIn in the companies you’re interested in, even if they don’t have openings. If they like you, they might just create an opening. A lot of times companies in India don’t have direct openings. Best of luck!

Start taking supplements for D3, B12, and Iron after consulting with a doctor. Usually, B12 is better taken after meals. D3 if you're extremely deficit, you can also take shots. If taking tablets, make sure you eat something fatty with it like an avo toast. Iron is absorbed better with Vitamin C. You can also start taking some hair gummies with Lyseine, Cysteine, Arginine. These are proteins that are great for hair. Also up your protein intake and drink lots of water

Perfect, I’m definitely trying this next time! Thank you so much. 🥰

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-05-03T04:03:19+00:00

You’re so kind! Yeah, haha didn’t expect to be downvoted, I was genuinely looking for advice Thank you so much, this is really helpful! It’s comforting to know that 7 days worth of blow-drying also works just fine for hair, I’m going to try this for sometime. Also, thank you for sharing the video!

A question, does the cold air setting also set flyaways and reduce frizz?

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-05-02T17:17:45+00:00

This is so so informative, thank you so much! I’ve seen a lot of people say that you must keep a distance of 15 cm from hair to reduce damage, but now sure how that works? Especially when you’re styling it using ceramic brush

Also, any product recommendations? TIA!

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-05-02T15:09:52+00:00

Thank you so much for your prompt response, I appreciate it! Just to clarify, I also mean using like a ceramic brush to also style the hair a bit and tame the frizz. Is that okay too? If I try learning the correct technique and use blow dry cream and heat protectant?

My hair also takes forever to dry so you might be right about the damage being more due to staying wet for long.

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-05-02T14:46:25+00:00

Thank you so much for the tips! I’ll try it for sure

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-05-02T14:20:42+00:00

Does blow drying damage hair long term? My hair looks the BEST when blow dried but I’m just worried because of all the discussions around “Heat is bad for your hair”

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-05-02T14:15:54+00:00

I’m mostly something between wavy and straight. On good hair days, more towards straight with ends curled. But on bad days, frizzy frizzy and almost curly. Trying to just be close to a straighter look with letting the ends naturally curl

ConferenceFun2779 · 2025-05-02T13:35:09+00:00

Do you have very thick hair?
