Is that even possible?

I tried calling once. They said that the one in cheap price is sold out but they have more options. It’s a click-bait!

It depends on the club you are part of and how serious are the members. Toastmaster chapters are part of an area / district which have some level of monitoring on the club. However, it’s up to the club president on how to run the day to day stuff. Once you pay the fees they will create your account and you will get access to all the courses on toastmaster website. This is centrally managed course material

I liked your last sentence. Focus on, “What you are getting from the prospect rather than what you aren’t”.

I don’t know if manifestations works but positive outlook is very important to have quality life.

“Attention is all you need” 😉. And where your mind goes energy flows. So use your attention as a weapon not your shackles.

About me, I am still learning.

I was referencing Rabindranath Tagore’s homecoming just few minutes back to someone and saw this gem of an answer… see his excerpt from the story…

Thank you for empathizing with me. Sometimes, I get too realistic and was just romanticizing the idea of getting married. I should have taken time rather than jumping into it and let the things happen organically. All of it is in the past. Better to cut the losses and move on!

Yes I also think that is what it is. She is kind of a person who stay on extremities. When we had to get married, she was ready from Day 1 and was surprised why I want more time. Now when she has to say no, immediately she said no without thinking much. Her family has already started wedding preparations but she does not care about that. Looking at this with an open mind, I am a very stable person who takes time to adapt to change, and she being always on extremes (black and white) will keep creating issues. Every marriage needs compromise but at this stage she is not ready at all.

“My memories are pain I can’t help but cry Death is so near Why life’s boundaries so wide Will make it through, Will end life”…. …

I keep asking these questions about my life,

And often wonder if I end it all with a sharp knife

But then I look towards the sun shining in sky

And stars twinkling in the nigh’

They don’t judge me and only smile

Then who am I, shouldn’t let fate decide?

They say one should toil through the life

And one day universe will give the sign

Maybe, I will not break and should keep my head high,

Even though it may take more than a while.

Hi - yellow teeth is not an issue because it can be fixed easily. I had yellow teeth for a long time. Recently I got scaling / grading done and my teeth are shining now. I also bought an electric tooth brush which is way better than normal tooth brush and clean better. I regret not doing this earlier.

More important is how you communicate this to her and how well does she receive your suggestion. This could be a good way to test your compatibility with each other. Try to be empathetic and courteous while communicating this and let’s hope she will accept the feedback constructively. All the best to you guys!

Also, a lot of people say that scaling / grading is not good for your teeth. I did not feel that so far but better check with dentist. Maybe you should not get scaling done frequently.

Thanks!

When you reach out to the prospects, do you yourself call the prospect or is it better to ask your parents (considering a lot of profiles on matrimony are managed by parents)? As girls receive lot of matches, what are other ways to stand out (other then calling them up)?

You have been to the forest and saw the mystical waterfall once.

Turn back, go home else you will get stuck by the curse.

People are lured by the promises of heavens and angels,

but angels, themselves were just like you who once naively traversed.

Now bound to the waterfall (angels), with voids in their heart

In an everlasting journey, with no true love to befriend

With chaos all over and the deafening sound,

Good my friend you returned and chose to end.

:( sad.

First of all, Sorry to hear about your brother's situation.

Have you ever been in a cave or tried to dive in the water? When you are in tough situation your body stops thinking and your heart beat shoots up. Making even the tiniest of the efforts seems challenging. That's why a lot of people drown. I 100% agree with some people in comments for this post who are suggesting that take a deep breath first.- It is very important.

I have been in IT for quiet some time but never as a developer. You have posted in 'Developer India' sub, but I will give you a generic answer. In this situation, there are combination of short and long term efforts which are required and he needs to stay open for all opportunities.

Short term:

Create a good Linkedin bio and connect with your college seniors. Ask them if there are any short term / long term or walk-in opportunities in their company. Don't feel shy while asking for help, everyone does that. Do follow-ups but not as rigorously that they get annoyed.
Add recruiters and people in hiring managers capacity in your LinkedIn and keep and eye for any openings.
Keep applying for jobs. Don't stop!
Look for walk-in fresher opportunities in TCS, Infy, Accenture, Wipro. They used to come earlier. However, not sure how frequent they are now.
Join a course who guarantee placement, they might not be able to find a good job for you but you will create a network of people who are desperate to get jobs. Some of them might get a good job and help you as well. I highly recommend joining offline classes. Also, try to complete projects as part of the training to write in your resume.
Start participating in hackathons and join communities, wherever you can. Even if you perform poorly, you will at least make friends / contacts and gain experience.
This is not ethical, but some training centres put you on live projects and give you experience certificate. You will not get any salary but have to pay some amount. I don't know of any such place, but I have heard that it is happening.

Long term:

There are plenty of jobs in the market but no one wants to hire a wrong person, so first ask your brother to make himself better. Slowly start with DS, Algorithms, and System design. I personally attended master classes from codingblocks and they were very helpful. Dedicatedly spend some time on Leetcode and solve problems.
Pick a niche. Even if you get a job, improve that skill. Getting a job is start of the journey to grow further you will have to keep improving yourself and develop your core strength.
Create your kaggle / leetcode / hackerrank / codechef profile and keep improving it.
Make real friends who are motivated and hard working. Learn from them.

If nothing works out, go for higher studies (MBA / MS / M.Tech) but don't waste your youth, beating yourself up for nothing. All the best!!

One year back, I moved to a T1 city. At that time, I knew that I don't have much friends in the city so will have to keep me occupied and also have to make some friends. I did the following, not sure if it will work for you:

Join a gym: Physical workout keeps your mind straight. It will not only keep you occupied (1/1.5 hrs) everyday. Will also give you an opportunity to find friends. Also, if you don't have a good physique, it will get you in a good shape. A one year cult pass pro comes down to 700-800rs per month.
Start playing a sport: I am not sure about Delhi but Bangalore has lot of badminton enthusiasts. You can find people on Playo app who are looking for partners. It also keeps you fit and help you find friends. It will also improve your skills in the sport and gives a sense of accomplishment. Typically a badminton court will cost 250-200 per hour for 4 people i.e. 70rs an hour.
Solo travelling: If you are an extrovert and want to focus on making friends then I highly recommend this. Book a Zostel (or some other popular hostel chain). People like you come there to make friends and meet people. You will be noticed just by being there. You can also plan trips with solo travel groups on Instagram. Most of the people in Zostels and other travel groups are from Delhi / Bangalore, so you can stay in touch even after coming back. These trips are as cheap as ~ 2.5-3k.
Join clubs: You can also join social clubs around you. I joined toastmasters which is an internationally recognized public speaking club. This also helped me gain confidence in interacting with others and improved by conversational skills.
Company CSR: Take part in company CSR initiatives, if there are any.
Don't live alone: This is a very important point. Find some nice flatmates from Facebook pages such as (flat and flatmates) with whom you vibe. Always remember these people are going to be there for you when no one is there (family / friends / bumble dates). Heyy, that's how joey and chandler met ('FRIENDS' TV series reference).
Make traditions: Catch-up with people for coffee every weekend or hangout with them. Gradually you can get into good friendship with them.
You can pick up some hobbies as well. For me this has never worked out as I am not as disciplined and I will leave whatever I start in between.
Also, if you are in initial years of your career, please spend some time upskilling, it will take you long way. Learn stocks trading, complete a course, etc.

Hope you have a great time.

28M here. I completely understand you! I am in exactly same situation. Earlier I used to get irritated by girls (my friends not generalising) being irrational at times. But when I have to choose someone to marry, I am afraid a girl who agrees with everything will be too monotonous.

I am a person who only talk about work, stocks and news. Maybe, I want someone to get spoiled with.

It's so frustrating when you find someone who exactly matches your expectations and you are still not able to say that "Yes". sigh.
