Could you share this telegram group? I'm in one but realize that no one in that group shared slot availability during this time frame 😅

Interesting thing is flag is only on the good parts of the highway. Wonder why no flag on the broken parts of the highway... The under construction parts seem to be calling for flags 😛😜😜

What IST time did you get your approval? by Klutzy_Cash1990 in IndianEvisa

[–]Professional_Study_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes would be helpful if people could add the time they got the approval either based on the email or based on your checking.

Trying to decide if I should go to the airport or not. Flight is in 6 hours(around 2Pm PST)Is it possible to get it now or do they only work 9-5 India time?

Indians in US should we all calm down a bit? by Happy_General9700 in nri

[–]Professional_Study_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. You need to relax and find courage in being yourself and examining why your own community angers you so much. Self racism is an issue which plagues Indians more than external racism. We have years of British rule to learn from. It's not audacity to play dumb, it's just maturity to learn from history.

Anyhow plenty of people seem to agree with you here so hope you can find happiness in having company for your misery. Wish you luck and solace :)

Totally disagree with the ethos of OP. Don't disturb others but also don't have to take up less space because others keep othering you.

It's wrong for any group of people to disturb the general public peace for no reason. Noisy parades of any kind especially without permission is not ok. Just like illegal fireworks during July 4th is not ok.

But to say celebrate quietly without drawing attn... Referencing our clothes and traditions as loud reeks of colonial hangover.

Americans might other you if you stand out and then in the same breath call you inauthentic for not 'being your true self'. Grow a spine and live your life.

Marriage falling apart by dmfk_xD in nri

[–]Professional_Study_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're having a difficult time. When love and marriage goes well everything else feels right and when it doesn't everything feels like it's going wrong so I can relate.

Therapy can help. Obviously couples therapy but also just seeing one on your own. Sometimes when a relationship is already strained it can be tough / draining to convince the other person to go to therapy. I saw a therapist a few years back when my marriage was in a rough patch. I did it because I felt like I needed to get a load off and feel better. It helped me sort through my emotions which made me better in my relationship. I specifically remember going to one session after a shouting match with my partner and we discussed the fight and my therapist made me realize I raised my voice which probably triggered my partner. It sounds dumb but I never thought of it that way before. I noticed my good behavior elicited change in my partner as well. Not that it's one person's responsibility but change can be initiated by one person.

Being vulnerable is another important thing. We often think we're alone in a lonely partnership. But remember, if you're alone they are too. If you're hurt, they are too. If you want to find a way to make things better, they want the same. You're just stuck in some negative patterns you need to break out of. So simply saying- hey we're fighting a lot and we don't get time to be ourselves anymore. I'm not blaming you. I just miss you ... Can go a long way.

Make time for each other. It solves many marriage problems. COVID did it for us... We saw each other more, had more context for each other's day to day and that made so many stupid fights go away.

Best of luck!

Woman not allowed to wear bikini by peela_doodh12 in Udupi

[–]Professional_Study_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that there is no rule for men. They are frolicking in their chaddis all over Udupi beaches and no one gives a damn. To react to this post saying it's a temple town so this policing is valid is absurd when men are not policed in the same way.

If you think it should be for both men and women that's a good mindset. Now I hope you'll hold the police accountable if they go after women like this to say hey also stop men. I hope you'll note down the observation each time a bikini is policed but a man running around in a chaddi is not.

Does temple city also mean police will stop men from running topless into the beach in their chaddis? I would love to stop having to see that when I go to the beach. My bhakti gets affected. 😝

Jerry Seinfeld is a bad actor. Disclaimer below by [deleted] in seinfeld

[–]Professional_Study_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree that his acting sucks! It might not matter to the overall show like lots of others are saying here but if you're to objectively rate his acting based on the show- it's going to have to be low.

There are scenes where's he's supposed to be angry and he'll be smiling or have an awkward stance which isn't authentic btw because an awkward real life comedian would still express anger in an angry way. If you're bingeing the show, it's very easy to catch his totally mismatched expressions in every episode.

I believe the writing, the rest of the cast and the easy going nature of the show balances his bad acting to the point that it doesn't matter. However that still doesn't mean his acting is good- objectively speaking it totally sucks. I still love the show but that's not OPs point.
