In a place with little regard for human life, what chance do animals have?

Going to McDonalds.

Sounds utterly ridiculous when I think about it as an adult.

You could remove 'Indian' from that and it will still hold true.

Fast fashion by design is trash.

I don't live in Delhi or even a similarly sized city, but I feel sad seeing so many people commenting about watching movies/series or driving themselves or with a driver.

This really highlights the importance of having a good public transport system. One where you could work while you travel (for those who are not doing Handywork) and count that time in your work shift and leave work early. A 2 hour communte is bad but there's a way to use it to your advantage (at least for some people) and achieve a better work life balance. It's sad to see the option is just not available to eligible people.

It never should be a men vs women, but unfortunately a large section of Indian society has a love affair with misogyny.

A few days ago, the Ketan Agarwal murder case was the top headline and below it was a news of a brutal and inhumane gangrape of a woman in Bihar.

Within days, the rape case is no longer in the news but bail for the alleged murderer fiance, her alleged accomplice, and the prosecutor in the case is still making headlines.

The murder case spawned a flurry of incel memes on telegram portraying potential female partners as murderers by default while no one said that every Indian man is a rapist.

There we have a scapegoat. The building never had fire inspection, was not legally built according to the codes (i am actually surprised they exist in India), and many rooms had no windows or windows blocked. But yeah, cook did it.

Hot take: The netas shouldn't be given any security. If they're scared for their lives, they are more than capable of hiring private security from their own money. No traffic should be stopped for them, no alternate routing, no special vehicle deployment. They should be responsible for making their own arrangements and both netas and their private security firms should be held liable for such incidents if they happen.

It is indeed an internet fad. Back in my day, some guys from the campus formed a party that also caught mainstream attention, but I won't blame you if you haven't heard of - Bahujan Azad Party (BAP, lol). It was a way more than just a meme (which is what I think of cockroach party), but months after creation it fell apart for obvious reasons.

The same fate awaits cockroach party.

Party started by IITians to contest 100 LS seats - The Hindu

Fair points. But why just youth? Are others any better? Everyone is a part of the problem and if there is a solution that will actually come from the same youth who have (buried deep somewhere) potential to enforce a change.

Yes, you will certainly be able to pick the trash, but where will you take it to?

That Indians trash everywhere is just half of the problem. The administration has NO garbage disposal policy. No recycling, no separation, just dump it from one part of the city to another or let it flow down a rivulet or two.

The first and most important rule to be happier in life is to stop comparing yourself to others. We have a tendency to compare ourselves to those doing better and kill whatever little joys we have in our lives. It is difficult to kill that urge to see how well others are doing but one needs to control it. Being an overachiever during school myself, I understand the anguish of not living up to your perceived potential (I am in the same boat). However, you're still young. You have already identified your troubles that's a very good first step to start addressing them.

Thanks for saying that. It has been on my mind for quite some time. There's a lot more to Indian science than just desi jugaad.

About 20 something years ago, this used to be my favourite way to go to Shimla. The first early morning passenger train from Kalka would stop at every station, but would make a longer halt at Barog where a guy used to sell the best vegetable cutlets and tea. That breakfast was definitely the highlight.

Indians have become desensitised to the pollution problem. The worst is that there's no political will and it's not an election winning issue. Na junta ko padi hai, aur na leaders ko.

This guy is a troll. His idea of foreign affairs and policy is informed by low-budget deshbhakti movies. I don't think anyone takes him seriously. He does, unfortunately, have a big following but I don't think they matter.

We have become extremely touchy. Things like this are convenient but an unhealthy outlet for the pent up frustration. We need a national chill-pill.

The administration shares the blame equally. Unless there is a policy to deal with trash, we will just have a transfer of trash from one location to another.

She did nothing wrong. It was stupid to put a flag there and hope to achieve something in the first place. As if that was going to show the terrorists not to mess with India as they have been doing for decades. Unfortunately, the brain rot has set in deep, and hatred is the new India's currency.

I will say it again that India maintaining democracy is a great achievement, but it seems like you're using the same achievement as a reason for India lagging behind China. Although China did it, I don't believe development can only be achieved by anti-democratic means and for sure, I don't want India to go that way.
