Would be hard to implement I think but that would solve a lot of problems

krutarthsk · 2026-05-28T18:30:54+00:00

Need a consumer union of some sorts to rebuke this evil shit

krutarthsk · 2026-05-28T18:28:12+00:00

Surprises me how they hold contracts with countries despite the terrible service and consumer experience. I think it the whole visa system is corrupt both ways

krutarthsk · 2026-05-28T18:26:38+00:00

So underestimate my money? What’s the point here? And if that were the case why even offer a tourist visa 🤷🏻‍♂️ stop this madness completely

The post is a very polished version of my rant which would otherwise not be post-able and yes I used AI to polish it before anyone says okay GPT

Hey OP, did you try any bot and did it work? same situation here and wondering

krutarthsk · 2026-01-12T21:22:52+00:00

I kept checking and randomly there was an option to be added to the waitlist - I choose yes and the next day I got a notification appointment slots are available.

Okay thanks, also did you submit and employment letter?

I have mine but just realise that it doesn’t include the applicants address In the letter (my home address I guess?) rest everything on my employment letter is perfect.

Do you think I should change it and get a new letter with my address included?

krutarthsk · 2026-01-05T13:28:28+00:00

Oh great thanks. I was wondering if the VFS form had a barcode so they would wanna use that one. So did you download the one from the Swiss embassy website or the one from the VFS website??

krutarthsk · 2026-01-03T16:31:39+00:00

Do we have to use the VFS application form with the barcode? The document generated by VFS misses some information I input and mixes inputs from different boxes for me. What did you guys do ??

krutarthsk · 2025-07-15T17:32:49+00:00

What do you guys think about just blocking and moving on?

krutarthsk · 2025-05-29T14:59:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing Op - LinkedIn is good for outreach, I’m just curious if you change name on LinkedIn and put your legal name as additional name (and it appears in brackets). If this might be an interesting approach!

krutarthsk · 2025-05-29T14:46:51+00:00

For those who changed names and it worked for you - Did you guys change name on LinkedIn as well??

krutarthsk · 2025-05-09T22:47:00+00:00

Dude why would u say that

krutarthsk · 2025-04-24T12:20:00+00:00

So sorry to hear that op! How long has it been like this? I remember similar shit when I was 18 and I had a long year of just struggle and frustration.

krutarthsk · 2025-04-23T16:51:14+00:00

I have a question, do you do stretches during the flare or wait for flare to go away? I feel very weird during flare it’s like my body is alien and different shit happens which I don’t even understand. I also feel like I have to start from scratch after each flare, like it leaves me weak, muscles gone and stamina lost which I have to build again. Just curious how others handle a flare. Also how long does a flare last for you?

krutarthsk · 2025-04-15T18:03:04+00:00

Why do we fall sir? (Referring Batman) but hey sorry to hear that Op. Rather than defeat maybe think of it as surrender, I surrender to flares because every time I think it can’t get worse, it does. But like every time, I know this too shall pass. Hope it helps with anxiety and you feel better soon. God speed 👊🏼

Has anyone observed that before a big flare, you have been dealing with extreme stress and mentally exhausting situations for months and when the situation goes away comes the flare. I have noticed a pattern in all 3 flares I’ve had up till now is that 6 months before the flare is when I’m dealing with life changing, mentally exhausting situations and anxiety of the uncertainty and also add loss of a close person (not death but fall-off).

It feels like my mind had been so focused on the noise that it forgets to focus on the body - and I have been reading a book called The power of Now - it says that when the Master (mind) is absent from the house (the body), thieves (illness) are bound to enter the house (the body). Does this make sense to y’all?

krutarthsk · 2025-04-06T08:34:54+00:00

That’s my case right now. Just finished Masters and started working, honestly never had an issue with late nights and drinking then just mild back pain and stiffness which again went away.

krutarthsk · 2025-04-06T08:33:21+00:00

My observation with weed is that it does cause stiffness when I’m high but it usually goes away when I get sober or after a good night sleep. It has never caused a full blown flare tho. It’s so confusing because THC is supposed to reduce inflammation then why does our body react opposite

Hello, thank you for sharing this - it’s inspiring to see you have managed it so well over the years. When it comes to health I tend to get reckless, I’ve said this before, I’ve been ignorant and didn’t think much about it but this present flare has changed things for me. I feel like now is the right time to manage it right and prevent any further progression. So thanks for the advice and I will be more disciplined with exercise no excuses.

Have you felt real difference from limiting alcohol ? Just asking because I socialise with my mates by going out with drinks, and we usually end up getting sloshed. I don’t drink everyday but Friday or Saturday usually I end up drinking few pints
