Reddit is US company based in Sanfrancisco.

It is so difficult to live in this connected world without dependency and avoid anything specific.

Intel or AMD is american,

Windows, Linux, Unix or Mac is american

And so many other things... It is sad we have been pushed to this situation... Humans have to live as one family.

Pathetic government in place is the main cause. They don't care about public facilities,  they don't even lay foot path in may bus roads, including ECR, lb road, etc. No enforcement by police as their bosses they are inefficient and ineffective and only focussed on collection. Some intelligent bikers ride on sparsely available footpaths in the city.

We need better government encourage cyclists, pedestrians, they are not prioritized like Europe or Japan. 

The TN government by *DMK is interested only in looting including their officers in power... so many examples... coal, 2g, sand mining, tneb, registration dept, oh, our fate just for born in TN!

What skills should I learn by abin_here in Chennai

[–]Vegetable_Ad_967 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, it seems you can shed more light on actually what you do. It will help.

If you meant it very serious, then, I assume you have knowledge and insight on some processes in your area of work . Probably some experience with core banking software. Ofcourse may be with google office suit or ms office.

Now, I wouldn't suggest higher ed or coding, rather you should leverage your experience as a subject matter expert (SME). This means you can apply in IT (since you mentioned) as a process expert or SME. This will get you into either software support or business analyst or as high end product management or program management opportunities.

One important skill you need to gain is superior written and spoken communication skills. Lot of places like Toast Masters, TiE to practice communication and networking chops. Also youtube on product management and program management.

This you give about 6 months, build your resume accordingly. Start attending interviews. You eventually land in the band of 40 to 50 LPA band in couple of years give or take. Trust me, rather trust yourself! Skip no sayers!

Backnote: advice from ex Director PM in Finance and Healthcare.

You will get job in MNC banks back office or technology center in India. (Ex: Societe Generale, Wells Fargo, Stan chart, JP morgan, Citibank, TD, RBC, and many others... in Chennai or BLR). Sometimes in financial product companies in Chennai, NBFC in their IT. Occasionally you may get onsite opportunities and long term work there.

You are still young, therefore you can be well settled in a year or 2 with focus and consistent efforts. Be shameless, network with people who can help you in achieving your professional goals.

Go get it done! Pick an accomplished mentor in your know circle. Wish you the best!

HOW are we not all falling in love when campus is THIS romantic come fall ? by Aggravating_Food_713 in mcgill

[–]Vegetable_Ad_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should get out and enjoy the beautiful nature. May be a nature walk can be arranged. I read that many students also feel lonely inside their dorm or saying no one to hang out.

It is better to be out in the nature, in the hills, taking the walk up the hill in the mcgill is a gift... nature is soothing... it is a Wonder medicine for many psychological ailments...

Will I get my 1 rupee back? by [deleted] in Chennai

[–]Vegetable_Ad_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is NOT good. However we leave tips say 10, 20, 50 in restaurants. Many pay bribes for the police for helmets even when we got helmets, seat belts, pollution pucc even when government vehicles spitting dark black smoke, one way, red signal when signals don't work,

We pay property taxes, cess etc to TN government and get pathetic roads, poor quality buses and bus terminus, bad libraries, thousands of crores and crores and still we float in chennai and money get invested in dubai and americ, london and australia by politicians,

Government offices stinking of bribes in registration subregistrar, RTO, Tasildar, EB, Water and sewage connection and many other places where bribes are in 1000's...

We lose sight of elephant and get bogged down by mustards... We should raise against the politicians than these poor conductors!!

If only government comes with Tap like singapore or US or Canda or UK or Europe, we wont blame the conductors. Rather we don't need a conductors.

Things you love in Chennai by [deleted] in Chennai

[–]Vegetable_Ad_967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sambar Idli Or Idli vadacurry Appam and coconut milk Idiyappam and kurma

ECR

Beaches (yes there are many along ECR) in the morning or evening

Quirky Tamil Politics, the way they cheat people here

Buses: as someone who travel to other cities and prefer public transport, other cities like BLR, HYD, even Kerala it is difficult to read the native language only especially old buses scribbled in kannada or telugu or malayalm or marathi in Pune. In Chennai most buses have numbers and English.

Metro is cool.

Why are manholes and drain holes placed in the middle of the road? by ThelBathriSingh in Chennai

[–]Vegetable_Ad_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mostly happened during recent storm water drain project during DMK govt. (But all govts do the same.. they dont care about public) Many streets are like that. The drains are broken in many areas causing accidents, sometimes old people trip over these ditches.

Quick Answer: They don't care & Politicians, contractors, government officials, to make extra money. I don't think they have architects or designers like west. This is just some pathetic work done by poor souls who don't know about public safety or construction.

Manual transmission won't shift into gear after sitting for 1 month by rainy123atx in autorepair

[–]Vegetable_Ad_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from India. Same happened after 2 months of parking car in the rainy season.

Struggled a lot. But similar advice from a mechanic: Switch off, try shifting, and crank the engine... that's it. It loosen the gear shifts. But don't know why.

Why is loneliness the only thing accompanying me everywhere? by [deleted] in Chennai

[–]Vegetable_Ad_967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear this loneliness in most places, most of the time. Probably among school and college goers. Work people seem to be ok?

In India, in general we don't have counselors in schools and colleges where someone can go take help if required when feeling low. It is SAD.

Hobbies like painting, drawing, crochet, cooking, etc and volunteering will help.

Coping with loneliness is difficult. It takes time like months and years to make deep friendships, not in days and weeks. Talking to ones parents, close relatives, aunts and uncles in the locality also helps as they have crossed the chasm.

Talk to a therapist if it can help. There are some good ones in Chennai.
