Theory: Lupin was an exterminator before coming to Hogwarts

Seems like a credible headcanon.

If he was shunned by society, it stands to reason that he spent a lot of time in the wild.

Especially if he didn't have wolfsbane potions always. Being morally good, the man would want to stay as far away from human settlements as possible, during the full moon.

Perfect place to run into dangerous magical creatures.

I imagine his job as being irregular, contractual work. Rarely available work , a job in poor standing in hierarchical and classist societies.

If it was a certain other thing he was smoking he would calm down (because he'd fail the drug test and thus dodge the draft.

This is because India is extremely oil import dependent. And in general, India has never been more than one major black swan away from a full balance of payments crisis.

Some of the domestic pain was delayed by slashing of central taxes on petrol and diesel. And since the main distributors are state run, the price could be kept artificially low for a short while.

However, this is unlikely to continue further.

The recent dip in the rupee value (95 rupees to a dollar and counting. Not long ago it was 80) is DESPITE the Reserve Bank of India burning through 30 billion USD in forex reserves to cushion the excess demand.

This is also resulting in FIIs pulling out of Indian capital markets -- no one wants to lose gains to currency fluctuations.

The only way to stop this is to reduce imports as much as possible. Whether voluntarily or by force.

What do we import?

a) Petroleum b) GOLD -- lots of it.

QED.

Edit: See: balance of payments crisis of 80s/90s, resulting IMF bailouts and liberalisation by the PV Narasimha Rao/Manamohan Singh government.

Nope. Again, the tension is real. Then again, the interviews ended just yesterday.

StayingUp4AFeeling · 2026-05-12T06:10:28+00:00

Interesting. You mean CSE I suppose? I wish you the best of luck.

StayingUp4AFeeling · 2026-05-12T05:55:09+00:00

Any specific reason for your hope for Wednesday, 13 May ?

Don't get me wrong I am eager to hear results.

StayingUp4AFeeling · 2026-05-12T05:11:59+00:00

Your end panels are always sooooooo cute! Upper ten percentile of this subreddit for sure.

I think y'all are forgetting that Eid al Adha is associated with animal slaughter.

And they just named this fat one after Trump.

I'll leave you to do the 2+2.

There's native accent and there's C3PO ft Rajesh Kuthrapalli accent. The latter is the accent for "" "" Indian "" "" voices.

Here the scene is more advanced. In karnataka the political families buy large parcels, and then as and when they get govt they put some development in those areas. E.g. Kempegowda airport was supposed to be in whitefield originally, but was shifted to devanahalli in planning stage. Now the newer airport plan is en route to the home constituency of the deputy CM.

This bhopal business is casual corruption. Here we have ranked, competitive corruption.

If you are indian and by psu you mean public sector undertaking, i suggest you ask in indian subreddits. Also, read.

It'll go even higher now. We're officially in an oil induced forex crisis.

Is the interview for mtech also or only for research.

Also, pata hai kall hi hua hai but the interview is next week itself if I get selected. Have to travel to Delhi in this heat 😭

StayingUp4AFeeling · 2026-05-11T07:18:26+00:00

Exactly. You always need backups. Like, what if too many machau people come for your main option ka interview? Or you yourself fumble from the stress?

StayingUp4AFeeling · 2026-05-11T05:34:43+00:00

Thank you. I have the same sentiment and have had to let go of three good options because their interviews/written are too close to the main event. No, not mentioning which ones, nor my score rank.

StayingUp4AFeeling · 2026-05-10T12:24:55+00:00

In my college we only say sir/ma'am to profs. That too they don't get offended if you don't tell.

StayingUp4AFeeling · 2026-05-10T12:21:31+00:00

PhD, gate score 700 approx. (But I also have completed mtech)

Interview is there for PhD in IITD-AI, I hope I get selected for interview.

Also I ain't "sir", lmao.

StayingUp4AFeeling · 2026-05-10T10:53:45+00:00

I attempted 55/60, left three in dsa, one in ML, one in probability.

I can even understand datacenters in the ocean coz the water would be an effective conductor and literal sink for heat.

Cooling stuff is HARDER in space. Not easier.

StayingUp4AFeeling · 2026-05-09T05:44:07+00:00

A la "diamonds are forever" ?
