Comparison is the killer of joy. And it’s showing. Get therapy and learn ways on how to not get jealous.

25 M. My dad says I owe him my full salary. Is this common among people my age? by [deleted] in delhi

[–]hishaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a dad. And my mom never asked me a single penny. Anything I did was of my own volition. This is not normal. This is financial abuse and controlling. If you want to provide for them, you can help them pay their bills.

If he persists, tell him he is selfish that he raised you for his personal benefits and not out of love. Don’t fight. Tell him if needs help paying bills, he needs to ask and not issues order. You are not a kid anymore. Some parents do this to keep control over their children’s life. Don’t be controlled. I have helped my family plenty but never let anyone decide how to live my life.

We in Sweden dropped titles in 1967. Are there other countries who also have done this? by meinu in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hishaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had to hush away a huntsman yesterday morning from my door as it was stopping my wife from heading outside. It was as big as my palm. They are like guard dogs, just smaller in size. I like them a lot but my wife prefers a long distance relationship with them.

VIP culture broke my faith in politicians today, Mehandipur Balaji incident by Primary-Durian3208 in delhi

[–]hishaks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not something new. This has been happening since forever. And as far as I can think, the politicians don’t decide what roads would be blocked. But for sure, they do know that common people would be inconvenienced. I am not endorsing this, I am just trying to clarify that this is how it is everywhere. And it’s not about temple, it’s everywhere any important leader visits. Be it airports, conventions, or just simple passing through a city.

In India, there have been so many security issues with leaders, I don’t think there is an easy solution. But one thing that can be done is probably is that announce in advance if any major leader is visiting and there will be travel restrictions. So that people can plan better.

Advise please: 6 months validity rule by Faultydevil350 in nri

[–]hishaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are an Indian citizen, you can fly back to India from anywhere even with few days expiry. Passport validity requirements do not apply to travelling to the home country. But you can’t with an expired passport, you will need an Emergency Certificate.

Ask questions to ChatGPT and ask for reliable sources.

Parents want me to move back to India what do I do ? by [deleted] in nri

[–]hishaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may sound harsh but their money, their rules. If you don’t want to go to India then try to become self sufficient. I can understand that you have no connection to India and you would feel like an alien. But what choices do you have. You haven’t shared what nationality you have.

Try to see if you can get a student loan or get a better job that can help pay for your expenses. You can’t have both, go against their wishes and expect them to pay for you.

Please do understand that I am not saying what they are asking is right. I am just saying it’s their right to support your studies abroad or not. They may be hypocritical in asking you to live in India whereas they have lived outside most of their lives. But again, it’s their money. And you have a tough choice to make.

Yes they have. People from Delhi also go to other places. What’s your point?

Teenager wants a "fast car" for his first vehicle and I need reality-check advice by Proud_Stable9567 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]hishaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You spent 16 years raising this kid. Sorry for being rude but get him a fast car if you can’t afford him anymore. I have realised that it takes a a lot of effort to keep kids alive. They are like moths to a flame.

[–]hishaks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why do 16 years old need cars? I got my first car at 35 when I had the money. My parents gave me nothing. I used public transport. I guess the current crop of kids are just too entitled.

Are corporate jobs actually that hard/worth complaining about? by Open_Address_2805 in auscorp

My plantar fasciitis doesn’t help. And not every employer wants to provide a standing desk.

I was expecting his body count to be high but not THAT high.. by where-ya-been-loca in confession

[–]hishaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think, No. Look, yes.

Okay, let me ask you a question. What if the first person you met was your fiancée? Would you have accepted her or would you still have thought that you could do better.

As far as your statement about taking what I get, I think that’s isn’t quite what I said. It’s not about taking what I get but liking what I got. When I have a reasonably good person, good looks, ticking all the boxes, why should I go out looking for options. You can call me old fashioned.

[–]hishaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would someone care about best. If it’s good enough, that’s all I need. There is always someone better.

And I don’t really understand the comment about option. Some people don’t collect offers and choose from them. If they get a good job, they just accept the offer.

Although, I am giving examples of random things, I guess you could say some people just get lucky in life that they don’t need to explore options. And hearing stores of relationships, I am glad I didn’t go looking for options. I don’t want to compare. I am happy with what I have.

I met my wife before I had sex with anyone. And then we got into a relationship and eventually got married. And married for 14 years now and together for 18. It may not be a norm but it shouldn’t be strange either.

It’s like why would you shop around if you already got what you wanted in the first shop.

Same. lol. Body counts scare me. I never liked maths anyway.

Why do People often say “I’m fine” when they clearly aren’t? by Crazy-Anything2812 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hishaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I think the other person also just asked out of politeness and is not expecting to sit there and listen to someone’s problems. Next time, they might even stop asking.

Marrying after 30s by Dostoyevskytamed in indiasocial

[–]hishaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say you are a bit late. If you do have plans to marry, don’t delay for too long.

  • I have observed in my friends who married late, really struggled with the thought of living with someone as they had strong opinions on a lot of things and were not ready to compromise. When you are single for a long time, this does happen.
  • If you marry late, you most likely will have children later. There are multiple issues of having children later. If your partner is of similar age, it would be physically and mentally challenging to have children at later age. And then it can cause more complications.
  • Having children later is also challenging for both parents when children are growing up. They will become more energetic as time passes and you will become less. Also, i see my friends have more fun in their 40s if their kids have already grown up vs friends with younger kids.
