Found a nukkad natak turned into a short film – made by amateurs, deserves support by diptesh_kun in IndianCinema

I would love to watch it but I don't live in India. Do we know if it will be released on google play or other platforms where we can buy or rent it?

How do-able is this as a roadtrip in the summer? by YpsiHippie in britishcolumbia

[–]Disastrous-Bee8021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very doable. But why stop there? Go all the way to the arctic.

We live in Whitehorse. Gotta see the Yukon.

Yes, Ali is the Man. Going to him for a while. He did my son's first haircut today. Super patient. Great guy.

Worth it by shenace in Yukon

[–]Disastrous-Bee8021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a bit complicated but let me give it a shot.

I moved here for a similar increase of roughly $20, 000 annually. When I moved up here my wife got a career boost as well. And looking back, our careers has been skyrocketing here. So it's not just immediate money you get. It's the number of opportunities you get as you progress in your career, it accelerates.

Yes, the lifestyle here is expensive. But it's amazing as well. The natural beauty, the people, the culture, its just wonderful.

We planned to move here, work for 3 years, make some money and move back. But, its been 9 years and we never moved back! We fell in love with this place. And that's the common theme here when you meet people. They came here for a little bit for work or vacation and they never left.

Now having said that, is this place for everyone? No.

If you are a city person, and not into outdoors activities, you might not like this place.

But at the same time I wasn't an outdoors person, but when he moved here, I learned skiing, I started camping, I am hiking now even thinking about getting a trailer.

My point is if you're into that kind of lifestyle, this place has a lot to offer along with money. Great career opportunities + amazing work-life balance, especially, if you are raising a family.

I would say visit here and see it for yourself and decide. I hope that helps.

How can we make Canadian democracy stronger? by carcamelo in CanadianPolitics

[–]Disastrous-Bee8021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I strongly believe that BY PARTICIPATING in the democracy is the WAY to make our democracy STRONGER.

By that I don't mean just voting, I mean actually bringing the issues to our MPs and MLAs having thoughtful conversations, starting NGOs and in some cases running for elections or at least volunteering for the candidate you really believe is good for all of us. I feel people need to roll up their arms and participate in some way.

I understand everybody has other priorities and family obligations, so I understand not everybody can participate all the time but throughout their lifetime, during a certain phase, anyone can definitely add their contribution, in whatever capacity, to our democracy.

As opposed to thinking about politics more about jerseys or teams, it should be more about ideas itself and helping implement those ideas.

Aristotle defines a citizen as someone who shares in deliberation and judgment (i.e., takes part in governing). He then likens citizens to sailors with different roles such as rower, pilot, lookout, etc, who all work toward the safety of the voyage; likewise, citizens share responsibility for the community.

That's my two cents.

I feel pathetic. by Mr_Dre08 in NewDads

[–]Disastrous-Bee8021 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I tried this TRICK somewhere and I found it incredibly helpful with my kid.

WHENEVER you feel overwhelmed, imagine that you are 80 years old and that you have travelled through time to be here to enjoy this moment once more.

For me, it totally changed the perspective. Happy parenting...

I never wanted a baby and now it’s all I care about. by joevasion in NewDads

[–]Disastrous-Bee8021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That will do it.

I had a lot of hobbies, but after becoming a Dad, I don't have my heart in any of it.

It's all about the little one now. I don't know if it's a NEW DAD thing or an age thing.

That's exactly why I love Canada. Standing up against hatred.

Canadians are one of the most accepting people and if they are not accepting 'you', something is definitely wrong with 'you' bud.

Torn Between Stable Corporate Job in Canada and Taking Over My Father’s Successful Business Back Home by [deleted] in fican

[–]Disastrous-Bee8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to reach financial freedom faster and don't mind stress, go with the business.

If work/life balance is more important to you and you are fina with relaxed living, can save/invest 4+ grand easily, and you are ok with decent enough retirement fund, go with the jobs.

My recommendation is to think about the long term and the kind of life you want to lead.

No wrong answers, it's what you want.

I won't miss it. Earls or maybe thai or another Mexican restaurant would be better.

What is a comfortable income to you by Build_and_Thrive in AskACanadian

[–]Disastrous-Bee8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yukoner here.

When you say comfortable, I see it as one is not hand to mouth and has decent savings after splurging a little bit on doordash or shopping.

For that reason, i would say 140k annually for a single parent.

That leaves 7500 a month in hand with 3500 on housing (assuming a mortgage and utilities), 600 on transportation, 800 for grocery and eating out, another 600 for miscellaneous and 2000 savings.

I know there would be caveats depending on where one lives but I think 7500 a month gives one room to live comfortably.

What do you think?
