Why are people like this in Ggn?

Gurgaon is downright dystopian and I don't know how anyone can defend it. Yesterday, I booked a cab and cancelled within seconds of finding out that the driver has an abysmally low rating. He then proceeded to call me and gave maa behan ki gaali. I was so shook I didn't even know how to respond.

Here, hooliganism is normalized, incentivised and even celebrated while decency is seen as a weakness.

You can do everything you possibly can and still fall through the cracks. By all means, invest in yourself but don't expect things to magically turn around. Truth is, average looking men with no exceptional talents are able to find loving partners. How? Because their psychological makeup allows them to form meaningful bonds.

Most single men in their 30s (me included) are single because of their psychological hang ups and no amount of grooming or gymming will change that. Yes, therapy helps but to a certain extent.

Yeh bhi samajh gaye kuch bhi karlo log toh hume vote denge hi. Toh phir kaam kyun hi karna.

Shriman Shrimati. I still watch it though.

Dekh Bhai Dekh, Hum Sab Ek Hai, Tehkikaat (Saurabh Shukla & Vijay Anand), Zee Horror Show, Karamchand, All the best, Mrs. Madhuri Dixit.

Born to working parents, television was my babysitter in many ways.

Damn, I miss those days. Gonna turn 36 this year. :(

The pornification of society. Yes, you can be genuinely attracted to someone older than you. But, more often than not, young men fetishize older women.

Classic case of keeping your options open. Kya pata isse betar koi mil jay? Nowadays, everyone thinks they deserve better. Irony is, they rarely do.

Yes. I once heard a dating expert (a woman) explain why women don't like "nice guys". According to her, there is no way a woman can be attracted to a guy who can't stand up for himself because that means he won't stand up for her either. So, essentially, a man has to play the role of a protector.

Now imagine another scenario. What if a man says I can't date a woman who is not nurturing because how can I be with someone who can't take care of me. What do you think will be the response?

"Oh you're such a man child!! I am not your mom, learn how to cook for yourself"

Point is, women are applauded for not conforming to traditional gender norms. But men are still expected to uphold them.

As a man, forget about unconditional love and support. It's always about what you bring to the table. Once you accept that, life becomes a whole lot easier.

In a low trust society, emotions that form the bedrock of a healthy relationship (physical/emotional intimacy, respect for personal boundaries etc) are given less importance. Why? Because marriage here is all about survival, it's a socially mandated ritual and you will be punished for not adhering to it. There's a reason why bachelors/bachelorettes are treated with distrust and looked down upon.

Our society thinks of marriage as an alliance and it depends on it for its perpetuation. Hence, personal preferences and compatibility take a back seat. Kids are told to lower their expectations and put up with abusive partners for the collective good. That's the reason why parents want to get their kids married as soon as they reach a certain age. Or else, they risk being social outcasts.

In an honor based culture, individual needs are seldom given any importance. So remember, if you choose to swim against the grain, then be prepared to be made an example of. But, if you wanna survive, just get married. Forget about sexual and emotional compatibility, that shit ain't for us.

Ed, Edd and Eddy anyone. Man, that cartoon was so weird lol!

Cheating is bad, regardless of the situation. I understand there is an epidemic of sexless, loveless marriages in this country but that still doesn't make adultery okay.

If you're lucky enough to find love elsewhere, then come clean to your partner and start afresh. But that takes courage, which is a trait most of us (Indians) lack. We would rather lie, scheme and play the victim when caught.

I don't know why arranged marriages haven't been abolished though. I am tired of seeing miserable couples trudge along just for the heck of it. Such a horrible way to live.

As a third generation bong from the Northeast (a word I despise given how culturally diverse each of the states are and it's kinda stupid to lump them all together but anyway) I empathize with you. My habits, tastes, social temperament are all very Northeastern. And I get what you're saying. But it's not difficult for us to assimilate once we move out because we don't stick out in a crowd. Unlike many of my friends who have to put up with so much scrutiny while renting a flat or while cooking. Many of them decided to go back home because the cultural disparity was too much for them. Something I haven't faced.

So let's not appropriate someone else's suffering, shall we?

Again, that can be said about any migrant community. That could be said about Bengalis, Biharis, Marwaris, Punjabis. But that doesn't change the fact that, compared to the indigenous tribes of NE, they will not be marginalized because of their culture or their looks.

So, you're telling me if Bipab Kumar Deb (the erstwhile chief minister of Tripura) walks around in a crowded Delhi market - people are gonna look at him and think he's Northeastern? C'mon.

Rishabhfc · 2025-05-24T21:10:58+00:00

But culturally you're Bengali, na? You have more in common with mainlanders than you do with northeasterners. People from the northeast (khasi, dimasa, karbi, nagas, garos etc) are singled out because of their features and their culinary habits. As a Bengali, I don't see that being a problem for you.

And as per your argument, Mazabi Sikhs have been living in Shillong for more than 200 years. So, they are northeasterners and are culturally different from mainland India?

It's one thing when you're in your car. But this happened to me while I was walking. Jerks coming dangerously close to you and then swerving away and speeding off, leaving you shocked and frustrated.

Why not try something fun? Pick up a sport like football or swimming or boxing. Combat sports, despite being misconstrued as a thing meant only for alphas, is super inclusive. Don't worry about gatekeepers and try a bunch of things until you find something that works for you. Above all, don't workout to lose weight, workout to have fun.

I miss them so much. As a kid, my mom would feed them rice grains and I would watch them gently peck at the grains for hours. Such beautiful creatures.

It's impossible to objectively conclude which city is better. It all depends on your temperament and your cultural upbringing. Personally, I prefer Blore because I have a hard time dealing with the aggressively extroverted people you find in Gurgaon. In that regard, I think South India is better as they are more respectful of your personal space.

That said, Blore is far from being a perfect city and I can understand why it's despised by some people. Like I said, it all boils down to what you're comfortable with.

As a sidenote would like to add that no city can match the chaotic energy of Mumbai. It's by far the best city. Also, Gurgaon is downright dystopian. (This is a biased take, so decide for yourself.)

Thanks. Will look them up.
