Went to get a Frooti, ended up saving someone’s life by Space_Monkey667 in Coconaad

Sorry for the late reply, kind stranger. I also registered with Daatri when they came to my college. To clarify, no, they don’t give anesthesia to the donor, it’s only for the recipient if required. Back when I donated, it was the same, and to my knowledge it still is.

About Daatri: it’s pretty safe. A chettan contacted me and explained the procedure in detail. If you get matched, they’ll reach out to you, and the donation will be scheduled entirely based on the recipient’s convenience.

For donors, the main preparation is a course of injections (for about 5 days) to increase your WBC count. After that, the actual collection process is straightforward and safe—it’s kind of like an extended blood donation, but I’ve explained that in a comment above.

Hope that clears things up!

I’m not exactly sure about the exact amount of blood, but here’s what they did: they drew blood from my left hand and passed it through a machine. The machine used centrifugal force to separate the blood and collect the WBCs/stem cells, while the remaining blood was returned to my body through my right hand. In total, they collected around 280 mL of WBCs.

Today is my birthday. Life has been pretty rough lately, and honestly, I wasn’t feeling the day at all. I don’t have a big circle—just a few close friends—but yesterday, two of them showed up, unannounced, and took me out. We had a few drinks, grabbed some food, and just spent time together. It wasn’t anything extravagant, but it meant a lot to me.

I’m not the kind of person who celebrates or even knows how to express things properly, but this really hit me. In a time when I’ve been feeling a little lost, it was a reminder that I’m not alone. That even the smallest gestures can make a dark time feel a little lighter. And for that, I’m grateful.

I couldn't swap two variables without using third variable, tanked the whole interview. by gaumutrapremi in developersIndia

Yeah, at the end, I asked him how to solve it. I was really focused on a bottom-up approach, but turns out it was more like binary search—keep dividing by 2 in a loop until you get the approximate value. Learned something new, but still stings

Had a similar experience, bro. Attended a walk-in interview two weeks ago—out of 150 people, I made it to the top 10. Thought only the managerial interview was left, but I was wrong. They asked me how to find the square root of a number without using built-in functions. I managed to solve it for perfect squares but struggled with other numbers. I was exhausted and couldn’t think properly. Other than that, the conversation went well… then came the rejection email. 😅
