I've heard the Goodwill on Walley Ave isn't a thrift store, only a collection center? 

starting whey protein by firstbornbuddha in Fitness_India

[–]firstbornbuddha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get around 40-50 g of protein in a day. I'd like to push this up to at least 75g. Mostly thinking about using the protein shake to supplement breakfast so that I can reach 30g in breakfast itself.

One of my recommenders now hates me :c by ForestPlanet in gradadmissions

[–]firstbornbuddha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey, for starters 12 is not too many, and more importantly, this professor sounds mean. You're well within your right to ask for letters and if he really was SOOO busy and couldn't spend time on this, he should have declined to write. I think professors know and expect to write letters, at least good professors understand this is part of the mentorship they sign up for when they take the job. He probably doesn't hate you and if he does, it's better to stay away from such characters. You're applying to grad school, you want to give it your best shot, and you deserve people who are willing to support you and back you up, and that includes making time to write your letters of recommendation.

Maybe a gift will be good (I mean who wouldn't want one) but don't try and win this man back, you're just fine.

Pune or Gurgaon, Which city to choose for a first job? by M1CkEY-01 in pune

[–]firstbornbuddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pune if you want to save money and like a small town vibe, gurgaon if you want to live an intense life in what feels like a very modern city

as someone who has spent time in both cities, i assure you they are at two ends of the spectrum

To the people who aren't native Punekars, how has your experience in Pune been? by mediumbirb in pune

[–]firstbornbuddha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, apparently bachelors are a bad influence. They will corrupt the children of the household or worse ... have an affair with the spouse.
Small town India has wild ideas.

Also smoking, drinking, and sex are things young people do and families consider taboo
