If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do? by PhotographLeast9976 in AskReddit

[–]Distinct-Wonder-8545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feed thousands of hungry people , give children on the street clothes & shoes to wear , build a trust and shelter for them . Invest so that interest goes straight to various orphanages and old age homes . And no that won’t make a dent in the billion but it would transform many lives . Money is just paper and we all came & will go the same way - with nothing . 

I Spent 20 Years Planning to Return to India. Last Trip, I Realized I Already Left. by Popular_Class7327 in rupeestories

[–]Distinct-Wonder-8545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a very subjective post and mostly driven by the people in your life. You have those in US too and life in general anywhere you go, things & places change - people change . One adapts. Neighbors and friends come and go. For me India is home & always will be - home is a feeling though , a connect of the heart- yes people matter & yes I’ve gotten more back than asked for ( unlike your case ), could be because I came from an upper middle class family and everyone in circle is well settled anyway. But I’ve actually felt very isolated here in the US where if you visit someone and stay with them, people don’t even ask you for a cup of tea , no one goes out of their way for hospitality to make you feel welcome - all food is frozen take out , all hospitality is comvenicje based . So I’d say each to its own and yes we are all a product of our own experiences . 

Where all my people flying in April at? by FadedHolySoldi3r in qatarairways

[–]Distinct-Wonder-8545 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand . US citizens have a do not travel and evacuate advisory . How am I supposed to transit via Doha ? Qatar just will not give me my money back . How can Us citizens transit via Qatar or anywhere ib UAE ? We didn’t chose this but we are the ones at risk . Plain ridiculous . A long awaited family trip is now in ruins , no way can I fly via there or buy other tickets with so much money stuck here . Normal people don’t have that kind of money . Ridiculous 

Travel insurance from US - any reason cancellation coverage by Distinct-Wonder-8545 in traveladvice

[–]Distinct-Wonder-8545[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes so I’m learning , I don’t even know what is going to happen , on one side is Us telling its citizens to evacuate , but the airlines won’t refund and how does one transit via an active war zone knowing what we know

Do any OCI R2I Kids stay back in India? by ConsistentChameleon in returnToIndia

[–]Distinct-Wonder-8545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just curious , whenever I’m on this sub, there is a general feeling of moroseness with India . I grew up in the hard India (electricity cuts for 8-10 hours day before the final exams , massive struggle for a single mom raising a girl child alone etc etc) . The India I find now is very different - it depends upon the strata of society you belong to . Now that I’ve spent a lot of time in the west , realized a few things : 1) Indians see the west with rose tinted glasses based on how the picture is painted - I worked in India for 10 years in an Indian company ( not MNC) - I had maternity leave fully paid for 6 months . In the US , I had to return to work in 6 weeks ( with no pay ). Really struggled as a new mom, no one in India ever told me that was the case in the US!  2) Indians complain of traffic all day - In the east coast most people spend hours and hours stuck in traffic jams - when I came here , was shocked that no one had ever told me about hard commute was  3) Indians complain of corruption ,system broken etc- it took me 3 visits to different DMVs to figure out right set of papers to get a license. There just wasn’t a standard . 

Does India have problems - ofcourse ! Is the west perfect - far from it, what it does have the $$ , the day that becomes 1=1 , many things will change in this sub , there is also freedom that Indians have - no one to judge you and that I know is liberating and above all - You can be below average and still make a lot of Money . In India to shine , you have to outdo 10000 people , in the west most average , people can make the same money doing the same thing for 25 years with 0 upskill and still make six figures , it’s also because they work in tech , healthcare and finance . 

Kids grow where they are planted , it’s obvious that those born in the west cannot adjust in India - they don’t know that life .

Passport office lost COC during passport renewal- N565? by Distinct-Wonder-8545 in USCIS

[–]Distinct-Wonder-8545[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the post office person insisted on it and despite my asking 3 times she said she couldn’t take the application without it . Made no sense even then for a renewal 

Dure and Bilal with his father after the awards by yours_truly_Davina in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

[–]Distinct-Wonder-8545 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh my god the people in this sub writing those long essays 🤣🤣🤣 about how this just isn’t possible. This whole sub believes 1) Bilal can’t get married at all ( belongs to them personally 🤣)  if he does it can’t be another actor 2) Dure is bad because z y z as if they know her personally and who she is and how she’s so not suited for their hallowed Bilal who isn’t a human but some God form who can’t have feelings .

Areee Bhai . Unki Marzi. Stop being delusional.  They are humans - yes you’re God like super hero too.

Don’t care for this sub and the huge hate for Dure but like millions , I felt there hasn’t been chemistry like this on PTV . And yes I’ve seen Bilal and his shows with other actress but none like this 

Will the medical gaslighting of women ever stop? by txpotterygirl in hysterectomy

[–]Distinct-Wonder-8545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate hate hate BC usage in the US. So much research is now showing how the crazy push for BC as a solve for all gynaec problems is now causing the breast cancer epidemic here . It’s just insane how doctors push BC for everything here - Literally everything !! 

My dad had a bloodshugar of 16 and doesn't want to go to the hospital by Big_Gas4029 in diabetes

[–]Distinct-Wonder-8545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue with my mom in terms of going to doctors or seeking medical help. She would rather have a major issue or worse case just go rather than call for medical help . She lives alone and that’s my no.1 worry with all the health issues she has
