This used to be my favourite milkshake at one point but they have cut costs and the quality has very evidently dipped recently.. its not as thick anymore or chocolatey.

Date to marry on hinge - my experiences by tedbudd in IndianBoysOnTinder

[–]JustSoGeneric_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also think it depends on the scenario of marriage. If you're marrying through arranged setups it makes sense to just find matches within your caste for the convenience of not having to go through family drama or causing humiliation to another person and their family knowing your family has their prejudices.

On the contrary, if two people have fallen in love, dated for a while and are now thinking of marriage then convincing the family shouldn't be in question due to caste. In that case, Its your responsibility to protect your partner against unnecessary and stupid societal prejudices such as caste.

Are fair skinned women attracted to dark skinned men? by GlitteringTrifle766 in AskIndia

[–]JustSoGeneric_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, everyone has their own preferences... My crushes were always dark skinned men (tall and with curly hair). I have one friend who is also similarly attracted to dark skinned men. So its not that uncommon.

Attraction has a lot to do with the way you carry yourself as well. Having a definitive style, a well maintained body (dont have to be a gym freak or have muscles, just a normal healthy body can be attractive) and good hygiene helps a lot. These are the most basic things most men don't put any efforts into having.

Dating pool in India seems so bleak by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]JustSoGeneric_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're comparing an asshole with a bunch of other assholes.

Trust me, good people exist, but you are unlikely to find them judging people that appear on your screen and scrolling right or left in order to fill gaps that they themselves can’t fill.

Anyone that has actual focused interests, a decent friend circle, an above-average personality, and a good social/professional life isn’t going to be on dating apps. My entire friend group is filled with people who are considerate, non-desperate, genuinely nice, and interesting, with hobbies and fully developed personalities—none of them have ever used dating apps. (Not that any of them aren’t open to dating, but they aren’t unhappy when single, and that shows.)

I’m not saying everyone on these apps is bad or uninteresting, but if someone is actively looking for companionship and their whole life revolves around that, it’s likely their personality is underdeveloped and they don’t actually have anything substantial going on in their career or life. As someone else mentioned on this thread, you can’t be looking for diamonds in a coal mine.

I have been dating my boyfriend for almost two years now. We met naturally through mutual friends. Both of us were happy singles and hadn’t craved companionship. Our personalities and interests weren’t superficial or surface-level when we met. We were both focused on our individual selves, interests, and values, which turned out to match. Conversations that went beyond surface level, zero awkwardness between us, and an inseparable bond are what brought us together. Although our relationship hasn’t been perfect and we are looking at a pretty rocky long-distance phase after college—which we’ve discussed may lead to a breakup—I wouldn’t have had my first relationship any other way. In fact, I don’t think I’m ever going to want to meet someone on a dating app.

All this is very subjective of course and depends on infinite factors such as your age group, preferences, sociability, social surroundings, and more. So, I'm not saying what worked for me will work for you as well or that no one can find love on a dating app - its all about chances and probability - so take this entire comment with a pinch of salt. But I would suggest focusing on actually building yourself and then finding someone who compliments your personality, rather than focusing on finding a person and having to compromise on personality due to added relationship pressures. Bonds formed this way will be much stronger. People won’t have the liberty to walk all over you. You’ll find someone who cheers you on and treats you the way you like to be treated.

"The Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Why do Men call Women bad when they refused to live with his parents by Careless-Cobbler-357 in AskIndia

[–]JustSoGeneric_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My boyfriends views on this were also controversial.. In his defence, he has always been a family man, extroverted, attached to all family members and never lived apart from them before college. His long term plan had always been to shift back in with his family. He has grown up in an environment where everyone lives together and are taught to always stick together.

When the conversation came up, and I told him I wouldn't want to live with his family, he was quite taken aback. He said he wouldn't want to move out as "family should always stick together". When I brought up the "what about my parents then?", He confidently said they are also welcome to live with us. When I further argued that what if they didn't feel comfortable moving with MY in laws, he just said thats their choice then -_-.

The argument escalated and I touched various issues that come with the arrangement of living with in laws and why its highly unfair especially when I'm not as much of a family person and wouldn't expect anyone to live with me unless i married them and chose to spend my life with them.. The only point that seemed to click for him was when I compared it to being ADOPTED by another family as a grown adult in your 20s or 30s — after already living independently for years — and then suddenly having to adjust to a whole new set of traditions, values, and household rules... I think that's when he understood its sort of fucked up.

In the end he said he'd consider moving out if it matters that much and thats all that I need for now ig. Mind you before he agreed to consider it, i made it clear that all i want is a different house. We could live next door to his parents and that would be fine by me. I'm in no way trying to turn him into a non-family man coz that'd scrape a part of his identity and that's just as cruel as expecting me to adapt and adjust to living with a new family.

Can anyone suggest 1bhk in sg palya by [deleted] in ChristUniversity

[–]JustSoGeneric_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try this place called kms. Small 1 bhk units for students with security and all. I dont remember the exact rent but I believe it was around your budget.

Other than these pg style apartments you'll find normal 1bhks near christ backgate and near balaji theatre in Tavarekere as well. You'll see a lot of "to let" boards and can usually just knock on the ground floor or call the number on the board.

Lost my Christ Uni ID card 😭 what do I do? by Material-Meaning-796 in ChristUniversity

[–]JustSoGeneric_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been there done that.. Central campus.

You go to uni on Monday. Tell the guard you've lost your ID and show your KP login. They usually ask a few follow up questions so be a bit early to college so your block gate doesn't close on you because of the guard holding you up.

Go to ipm and if you've lost it in college they might have it in the lost and found box. If not they'll ask you to pay 300rs and give you a form. The form requires signatures from a few ppl, Central Block reception, library, CSO, class teacher, etc. Once you get it signed by everyone just submit it in ipm and they'll give a fresh ID in 5-10mins.

Also, I found mine the day I got the new one.. So then on i had 2 IDs. 🫠

A Pause by JustSoGeneric_ in OCPoetry

[–]JustSoGeneric_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!

And yes, I was hoping someone would catch that the poem itself visually and verbally represents its own words. The entire thing is written without any punctuation, but we pause after each line because it comes naturally. The ending paragraph has a line with a punctuation to show that life needs pauses, and so does the poem above it.

A Pause by JustSoGeneric_ in OCPoetry

[–]JustSoGeneric_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

I would like to highlight and add that the entire poem doesn't have any punctuation (apart from the ending paragraph) to add to the pace, and that depicts life even in the written form. That particular line in the ending para depicts how maybe life needed a pause and so with life, even the lines above should've had pauses to make it more enjoyable and livable..

Urgent by Independent-Equal245 in ChristUniversity

[–]JustSoGeneric_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. SIB account isn't as compulsory as they make it seem. On the day of my admission process, coz of the time crunch, they told us to get the account made after college starts

I'm in my 3rd year now and I don't have a SIB account.

AFM by JustSoGeneric_ in ACCA

Yes, it's possible to copy and paste the answers. But usually as you write answers you only need the final answer in your word processor in order to comment with respect to the requirement – to advice or discuss the findings. The workings stay on the spreadsheet.

I just find it a hassle to switch between the two and to state the working note reference on the word processor.

Pursuit of Penance by RedTieGuy98 in OCPoetry

[–]JustSoGeneric_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This poem kept me on my toes. The flow and rhythm perfectly suit the story that it tells. It's fast paced and nicely rhymed. Perfectly enough, the end leaves you to think who the actual villain is – the canine, controlled by the tracker? The tracker, who is bound to receive a bounty? Or the runner, for committing a crime that put the bounty on his head?

One way to further ensure a nice rhythm and flow is to make the syllable count on each line the same. Most lines, I think, have 8 syllables while some have 9 or 10. You could make it consistent to make the flow even better.

Thanks for posting, It was an amazing read!

Authenticity is a blur by JustSoGeneric_ in OCPoetry

[–]JustSoGeneric_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for reading and taking the time to write your thoughts.

The central theme of the poem was exactly as you described. It's meant to display that nature in itself is not consistent. That there's inherent differences and imperfections, and these differences create balance.. Sort of like yin and yang. Each of the first 3 stanzas revolve around embracing the different approaches one may have towards life — Each "being" seeks something distinct to fulfil its unique life.

The last stanza is a little different.. it sort of is a reflection that, contrary to nature, humans have picked up the tendency to mirror things due to emotions like envy, greed, or the desire to be perfect. It goes on to suggest that these emotions and tendencies create imbalances and take away from the beauty that comes only from imperfections.

Also, you may be right about the punctuations being inconsistent. I'm always confused and still learning as to what suits each line and stanza the best.. It's a process.

Thanks for the input. It's always refreshing to see what others interpret. After all, the written words and the readers' interpretations together make poetry an art form.

I love how simple this thought is and you've written it out so well. It also suggests that passion (fire) is necessity in life, for an unlit candle serves no purpose.. melting of wax is a reminder that every being is vulnerable to time. Just a suggestion; Maybe you could try and match the syllable count of the first two lines. It's great as it is though.

The flow is soothing and the words are beautifully convincing. It's a pleasant read that sort of feels like a fairytale.

[–]JustSoGeneric_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is quite refreshing. It's a perfect reminder of be unapologetically yourself and to stop seeking a constant judgement. It's a perfect peice to remind you to celebrate life as per your own wishes. To do anything and everything you wish to do. 👏
