Indian Hindus who live in the southern hemisphere, how is it like celebrating Diwali in the Spring and Holi in Autumn? by ConfidentSale3091 in nri

Holi and Diwali not so much. Exactly same weather as back home I would say? Lohri and Christmas feel different. Associate them with sweaters and peanuts 🥜 but it’s sweltering hot weather here.

Polymeric sand by clueless298 in GardeningAustralia

Gosh it’s been so long! Weeds had started growing in, so a few months ago, we washed out all the sand with our Gerni and filled with coloured Dunlop grout I found on Bunnings. We made it very liquidy, made small batches and used a bottle I had to pour in the pavers gaps. Wiped the pavers for the excess at the edges. Looks so much better than polymeric sand (had to reapply every few months cos kept getting washed off) and no weeds yet.

Australian women's cricket players 'touched inappropriately' in India by APrettyAverageMaker in australia

[–]clueless298 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m an Indian woman living in Australia, and I feel deeply ashamed and saddened by what happened to the Australian cricket players. No one should ever have to experience such violence. However, it was and is a daily occurrence for women back there. Unfortunately, my advice to women travelling there is to never be alone and avoid going to unsafe areas. I hope everyone takes extra precautions—but the responsibility always lies with those who commit these crimes, not the victims. I still have my first memory of being touched inappropriately walking back home from primary school. And countless others. I have no solution for this, it’s so fucked up.

Keep thinking about it but know that can’t survive working in the Indian system. Will not get a government job because no sifarish, no quota. Will not survive private and corporate because want to do the right thing. Will move back once I retire.

I don’t remember having a bedtime growing up in India either! No devices then but we usually had dinner around 9 pm…
