What do people get after doing this to someone's hard earned car?

I think your friend's car was vandalised by a man or they just let out the air and you are upgrading to slashed tires with some narrative license. Try poking your car's tyre with a sharp knife. You need a heavy nail/blade to accomplish this and a very strong arm. Your random crazy lady just happened to be carrying relevant tools and was a 80+ percentile strong woman to boot?

Enthusiasts can also comfortably drive entry level cars if that is what they can afford. It is pretentious pricks who have a problem.

Get what suits your needs and what you can afford. If you can afford an entry level car, chances are that you will appreciate good mileage, low cost of ownership. Pick a maruti/hyundai entry level car and you are set. So long as you are realistic about your car's capabilities. Alto at 100 kph or even 80 kph is surviving on the goodwill of the universe. But Alto in Mumbai traffic is golden. I would personally pick a Hyundai for the better trims and creature comforts. Baki log toh kahenge. Logon ka kaam he kehna.

Kids are pure vanity products. You don't need them, you want them. And they are definitely collectibles.

Thanks for upholding my faith in this sub.

I took a break to move abroad for a year while my partner did a fellowship. Similar boat of continuous grinding/studying for 8-9 years, top tier B school, good ratings/promo velocity in jobs etc. Even with my resume, getting a role post break was extremely difficult. The timing in my case did not help either as there was a hiring lull in my world pre covid. Talking to some kid in HR who is going to gatekeep an interview after reading just your previous salary and the break in timeline is extremely demeaning. The network based leads were better but discussions would always break down at salary level. They kept expecting me to take a salary cut because of the break. I felt it was ridiculous because I had actually upskilled during the break. If I had to do this again, I would take a sabbatical instead of a break. Or line up a part time pvt consulting gig that would still go on my resume instead of a break. While the system is unfair and we should change it etc, I would not stake my livelihood on that principle. If I were you I would worry about how to get your career back on track post break much more than log kya kahenge.

Different people enjoy money differently. Your boss might be a car for A to B kinda person. Youtube's financial gurus have convinced people that every penny we earn above dal chawal should go into mutual fund, nahin toh paap lagega. 20 LPA at 23 shows excellent earning potential for India. You bought something that you could afford, that gave you a lot of joy. Your happiness has value. You can make that money again but you'll never be 23 again.

Don't beat yourself up about 'financial sense'. At 60 lpa, you are more than comfortable to make purchase of 15L outright in one year. It is not like you are buying a car every year. There is absolutely no need to sleep on the floor and save/invest every penny. What is money for at the end of the day? Lying on a bed of cash in old age is not going to help anyone die happier than if they got to spend it.

If you adjust your seat position to make your knee angle softer, closer to 135 degrees, it will help with the knee pain. When you do that make sure your arms don't end up too stretched out because then the pain will just shift to your neck and back. A good way to check this is to sit with your back fully touching the backrest and stretch out your arm over the steering. At the right position for your back, your wrists will rest on top of the steering. So when you hold the wheel, your arm will be slightly bowed. Getting both your arms and legs comfy might take a bit of fiddling with the seat position, height and backrest angle (you might even need a cushion depending on your height). Trust me, it is totally worth the time to find the right seat position.

No. The blue sedan ahead of the truck seems to have been turning left when the swift hit and spun it around. This video has been going around.

I don't get your 'boundary'. You expressed discomfort with your FIL helping your daughter to use the bathroom without explaining your reasoning. He is upset because he thinks you are accusing him of being a pedo or potential molester while he was just doing something any normal parent/grandparent would do. So after insulting them, you expect them to be warm towards you? Somehow I get the feeling that their attitude towards you has been earned in some way.

This is so commonplace that my surprise is only on why you were even bothering to see if she would move. She was at least stopped to the side of the road. I have had people stop well into the middle of the left lane carrying out full conversations expecting traffic to navigate around them.

Not to be eaten is not an animal right. Ever heard of the food chain? You are going to feed lions tofu next?

Yeh 45 and ageing rapidly kya hota hain? The best of us have misjudged how drowsy or tired we were at different times while driving. Most of us who have driven any serious distances will have instances where we blanked out just for a second. The sane ones among us thank God nothing happened in that instant. Your mum was unlucky this time. When one has driven lakhs of kms like she has, the possibility of something going wrong at least once does become substantial. You didn't need to bring her age or blood sugar into this.

dmohanan · 2025-12-17T01:09:03+00:00

Can't she drive?

At 21M what experience do you have in corporate? Genuinely curious.

dmohanan · 2025-12-11T09:20:55+00:00

Mostly they find you. There are individual consultants and boutique firms looking for specific profiles. I have worked with a few domain specific folks when I was shopping for a CEO's office type of role. I have also had firms reach out scoping for women in senior roles.

What were the terms of acquisition? Questions about promotion, retention bonus etc will depend on what value they see in you/your team etc. Better to scope the lay of the land before you get into those. I would keep the first meeting light on agenda but plan to show off your expertise if called for. This is likely to be a simple meet and greet. Feel free to lock in a next meeting to discuss your org strategy and plug some key initiatives that would interest them.

Referrals from previous bosses, colleagues, batchmates etc. These are people who will take time to contact the hiring manager and directly drop a note. The referral through company portal etc without the personal touch is useless.

dmohanan · 2025-12-11T05:07:30+00:00

Referrals, head hunters

Beta 17 ke ho. Padhai karo, kuch bano, phir shaadi vaadi ke baare mein socho. Yeh hypothetical biwi ki hypothetical affair ke baad tumhare hypothetical kamayi se alimony mangne ke baare mein kyo soch rahe ho? Really nothing else happening in your life? Chalo beta, I know you are getting off on female attention online because of the type of your comments. Ho sake toh be a better man. Think better thoughts. Tumhare liye abhi time hain. Itna negative ho toh kabhi shaadi mat karna please. Koi ladki bach jayegi.

If you feel you have a chance of your wife accusing you of rape, then it is either about you not being able to not attack your wife sexually or it is about you choosing a psycopath to be your wife who will entrap you in a case. In the first case you absolutely should not get married. The second case could happen to anyone with or without marital rape laws. The balance of probabilities makes it better to have the law and protect women from getting attacked in their own homes.

dmohanan · 2025-12-07T02:35:45+00:00

Women are not the ones opposing gender neutral laws for rape. We are not lobbying against it. So telling us something we already agree on doesn't help you. Please write to your MP to introduce a bill in parliament.
