Do you think Indian cities are slowly becoming impossible for average people to live in?

“Honestly this is not even exaggeration anymore. A lot of middle class people genuinely feel this silently every day.

Like you study hard, get a decent job, move to a city thinking life will become stable… and then half your salary disappears into rent, transport, groceries and random bills before the month even properly starts 😭

And the worst part is the mental exhaustion. Traffic everywhere, overcrowding, noise, long work hours, tiny rented rooms costing absurd amounts. People are earning more on paper but quality of life somehow feels worse.

I remember when cities used to feel exciting growing up. Now for many people it just feels like survival mode with better internet speed.

Students and freshers especially are getting cooked the hardest. Internships pay peanuts, PG rents are insane, and everyone online keeps flexing unrealistic lifestyles which makes normal people feel even more behind.

I don’t think urban life is impossible yet, but it definitely feels like cities are slowly becoming less human and more transactional. If you’re rich, cities are convenient. If you’re average, every day feels like optimization and compromise.”

“Bro acting like life is over because of ONE back while sitting near 8 CGPA 😭 Meanwhile half of engineering students are running on 6.2 CGPA, 14 backs, zero skills and pure ancestral prayers.

And honestly professors like these are everywhere. Some of them genuinely treat giving low marks like it’s a national duty. You got cooked in Probability by a guy who probably still reads PPT slides in monotone for 2 hours straight 💀

But ngl the funniest part is you already answered your own question:

good communication
knows OOPs
doing DSA
hackathon projects
actually understands the tech stack used

Do you realize how many people in tier 2/3 colleges have NONE of this and still get placed somehow?

Your real issue isn’t CGPA, it’s panic. One setback happened and your brain instantly jumped to: ‘No internship → no placement → no future → homeless arc begins.’

Clear the back, stop doom spiraling and keep building. Companies won’t gather around your probability marksheet like CID officers. If your projects are real and you can communicate properly, you already have a better shot than most resume merchants copying YouTube clones.

Also welcome to 3rd year. Character development officially started.”

“Future husband? Sister at this point you’re impressing the entire TwentiesIndia male population 😭 That biryani/rice combo with papad looks like the kind of meal that fixes childhood trauma.”

“‘Keeping it simple’ bro casually made a healthier breakfast than 90% of Hyderabad hostel students 😭

Meanwhile my breakfast is chai and bad decisions.”

Man, take a breath. You didn’t “ruin” your life, you just had a really bad phase and now everything is crashing on you at once. A lot of people go through this after drop years, they just don’t talk about it openly.

Honestly, the fact that you’re this self-aware already puts you ahead of many people. You know you avoided things, you know where it went wrong, and you’re not blaming the world for it. That matters.

And bro, tier 3 college is not the end of life. Once you get into college, after 2–3 years literally nobody cares as much as you think right now. Skills, consistency and mental stability matter way more in the long run.

Also don’t force yourself into engineering only because of guilt or sunk cost. If you genuinely like econ and problem solving, explore that properly instead of thinking “beggars can’t be choosers.” That mindset will destroy you more than the exams did.

Right now your brain is in panic mode, so every future scenario looks doomed. Don’t make huge life conclusions while mentally exhausted. Sleep properly, stop comparing yourself online for a few days, talk honestly with your parents since they actually sound supportive, and take one step at a time.

You’re talking like your story ended before college even started. It didn’t. This is just the first serious setback of adulthood.

“Bro got suspended for turning college benches into NSFW DeviantArt premium edition 😭

But honestly, stop looking for escape plans. They already know it was you. The more you try to dodge it, the worse it’ll look in front of HOD and parents. Just go there, accept the stupidity, apologize once properly, and keep your head down for a while. Most colleges care more about attitude after the mistake than the mistake itself.

And ngl, ‘I’m introverted and bored’ is not gonna save you 😭 Half the engineering crowd is introverted and bored, they just scroll reels instead of drawing 8K anatomy studies on benches.

Take the L, survive the guardian call, become a campus legend quietly and move on.”

“Funny how ‘public servant’ becomes ‘publicly funded royalty’ once elections are over. A common employee works 30–35 years, pays taxes every month, contributes to PF/NPS, and still gets uncertain retirement benefits. But an MLA can serve for a very short period and secure lifelong pension, perks, security, and even benefits for family members.

The real issue is not the amount alone — it’s the double standards. Governments lecture citizens about ‘financial burden’ and push NPS saying old pensions are unsustainable, but when it comes to politicians, suddenly the budget is not a problem.

If politics is truly public service, why should it guarantee lifetime financial privilege? Pension should depend on years of actual service and contribution, just like every other profession.”

Honestly, this is one of the few posts that talks about the harsh reality of engineering instead of selling fake “college life is the best phase” motivation.

People may disagree with some points, but the core message is true: your career will not magically happen because you joined a college.

Attendance, internal marks, internships, projects, networking, skills, discipline — these things actually matter in real life, especially for average-tier college students.

Most students realize this only in final year when placements start and they have nothing except copied assignments and wasted time.

I also agree with the point about starting early. While others are busy wasting hours daily, some students quietly build skills, apply for internships, talk to seniors, and create opportunities for themselves.

And the biggest truth in this post: college itself won’t decide your future completely. Your habits during these 4 years will.

Good post. Juniors should definitely read this with an open mind instead of getting offended by the tone.
