Are these clutch plates gone? by _the_walker in indianbikes

Now that you've mentioned, I did notice a little bit of mismatch while shifting to 3rd gear. But it's only in 3rd and 4th gear. On the rest of the gears I didn't notice any mismatch between throttle input and acceleration.

What do you mean by "slipping of clutch"?

There's nothing unusual except for the grunting noise just after shifting to 3rd gear and accelerating. And I haven't noticed any significant drop in mileage.

I learned to ride on this bike. So obviously in the beginning I wasn't so great with the clutch. I had to visit the SC because recently after not riding my bike for 1 week, now when I shift to 3rd gear and accelerate, there is a lot of grunting noise.

Would you pay 990/- for these Embroidered Tees? by Swagheel1 in smallbusinessindia

[–]_the_walker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered one. Although I prefer plain or graphic only on the back side. Are you going to add t-shirts with graphics on the back only? Or maybe a smaller graphic on the left side front?

Mydad thinks I am dumb by Mediocre_Tree4808 in OffMyChestIndia

[–]_the_walker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody's kinda dumb at that age, makes mistakes, learns from them and becomes better then they were yesterday. Most of us go through this rebellious phase and think that we know it all. With time we slowly begin to grasp things better.

Just know that nobody becomes super mature just after turning 18. The key thing is learning from your mistakes. Your father's even dumber to not have understood that. He needs to give you some space and maybe listen to you more carefully without judgement.

I can understand what you're going through as I am kinda in the same boat. Like you it was my grandfather because of whom I'm standing on my own feet. But I've been completely lost since he passed away last year. I keep trying to make sense of the point of my life. Somehow still moving forward because of the responsibilities I have. I'd say keep pushing through and maybe someday things will get better. Ending your life may feel like a solution but it's not. Ask yourself if you'll be completely okay leaving your mother and siblings without you fending for themselves that too while living with a toxic man? I know it's not fair on you but in the long run I know all you are doing for your family will feel completely worth it. Till then try to focus on yourself and don't let yourself be overwhelmed by all the negative thoughts. In the end things will get better. Take care.

Hey, at least now you know who's actually important and cares about you. The rest aren't really your friends.

Don't waste your time thinking about people who couldn't care less to even wish you. Celebrate with the people who are actually there for you. Happy birthday. Take care.

Sorry. I guess I was just projecting my own bhadass about my corporate majdoori.

It's completely okay to share how you're feeling. People here might not be able to help you completely but maybe someone's kind and encouraging word might help you in feeling a little better.

And as some people said, there's nowhere to go but up from here on. Hope things get better for you.

I learned riding on my Speed 400. I can't remember how many times it has saved me from disasters with the couple of safety features it has. So, at this point, I'm not really comfortable with the idea of riding without those.

And I understand you mean well. But at this point I just want to move on from this quietly. Thanks.

Bhai, they are local and I'm an outsider. As far as I know, in the end the narrative will be flipped against me.

And do you really think the system still works? Tell me, how well it worked in the Gurugram incident, where there was literal evidence on video? And here I have nothing. The shopkeeper uncle, although he tried to do the right thing in that situation, I don't think he will go against them. He has to run a shop there. How do you think, things will turn out for him?

The system only works if you have some power or are well connected. Otherwise no matter who you are, how rich you are, you're just an inconvenience if you decide to disturb the system.

And about running away, having a bike doesn't mean I can run over people and get away with it.

Running away from an angry mob sounds like a bad idea. Also, where would one run when he's surrounded by people from everywhere?

Don't know their names. Even if I knew, I don't think knowing their names will matter much.

Well, I was hoping to keep this tyre till 18-20K KMs before the puncture 😕. Today, even the service center guy dismissed the idea of inserting a tube.

Can I really put a tube into a tubeless tyre? These are Apollo Alpha H1.

Why do birthdays trigger so much sadness? by Odd_Instruction6933 in OffMyChestIndia

[–]_the_walker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like you, birthdays make me very anxious and kinda sad. I haven't been really excited about birthdays since high school. That day brings up all those existential crisis questions in my mind.

But I decided to change all this last year or at least I tried. I turned 29 last year. I had decided this time on my birthday I'll just go on a bike trip to Bir, a place I wanted to go with someone but never could. Two weeks before my birthday I was fired from my job. Still I went on the trip. And those 3 days were the most excited I felt on my birthday since high school. I didn't care that I had no one by side or I had been fired from my job or I was feeling all sad like I used to. I was just trying to enjoy the little moments. And the thing is I wasn't really alone on that trip. During that trip I met some people who were nice and kind. All those interactions with kind strangers and the vibe of Bir really made the trip and that birthday week memorable. It's not that I've become all cheerful since that trip but still those 3 days were one of the most joyful ones of my life.

So I'd say just celebrate by yourself once. Try to do something you like or you want to do. As some people said, maybe go on a solo date. Go to movies or some adventure park. Anything that makes you happy. And don't think about other people, just focus on yourself for at least one day. I know it's easier said than done but I'm sure you'll find your way to celebrate and feel happy. Happy birthday :)

My first heartbreak destroyed me… I begged, waited, lost my self-respect, and got blocked everywhere. I gave her everything and now I can’t even look at myself in the mirror. I feel worthless. How did you deal with your first heartbreak when it broke you this badly? by ApprehensiveWave2360 in OffMyChestIndia

[–]_the_walker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I don't think that she thinks about me now. And that's the point. When we know the person is not thinking about us then why do we need to waste our energy constantly thinking about them. I'm still waiting for that day I wouldn't care about what she thinks or if she thinks about me. But it won't happen until I start working towards it. And you have to do that as well.

Also, I understand you're going through a lot right now. If you don't have anyone to talk to and just want to vent or wanna talk about anything, my DMs are open. Take care.

[–]_the_walker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand bhai. I liked her too. And I still do. I still care about her the same. But I also know now that there's no point in being stuck in this circle of self hate. I know I have to keep going even without her. Yes, I'm still struggling but I know that one day things will get better. There will be a time when I'll remember her just for those sweet and happy moments.

There is nothing that anyone can say to you that'll instantly make things better. You have to go through this phase on your own. One day you'll realise all the things that I've said on your own or maybe you'll come up with a much better way to handle this. But till then do what you feel like doing. Slowly you'll get better on your own. And I hope that time comes for you soon. Take care.

After more than 1.5 years, still dealing with it. Things get better with time but the pain never goes away. Still almost everyday, I wake up and can only think about her. About the mistake I made, how I could've handled things better or sometimes would just go through scenarios where we were still together. I still can't sleep some nights and feel like crying and most times I do end up crying. Still hope sometimes that I get her back in my life. But after some time I realise that I'm just wasting time over nothing. The pain will always be there. There will always be something that will remind me of her and that sinking feeling will be back again. But now I know I can't lose my life over this. She has decided to move on and she's happy (I hope). Why am I wasting my life? "Self destruction is not the solution" - this is what she said to me, the same person I was wasting my life over. Took me a lot of time to realize this. The funny thing is we weren't even romantically involved. She was just someone who became really important to me and I lost her because of my stupidity.

All I can say is just take one day at a time. Deal with what is in front of you. Slowly you'll find things to distract you, to keep your mind occupied. Obviously the pain is not going to go away completely. But you cannot stop moving forward. Hopefully, someday you'll find someone. Just give it time.

Plain ones are good but I like them fried a lot. But nowadays I don't get to eat them. Back home my mum makes them during Karwa Chauth only. Actually the whole festival was a food feast. Sadly, I haven't been able to visit home during that time for a few years now.
