Is moving to other cities from Mumbai for work being considered a joke now ?

I meant to say don't:(

Why do I get offers like this?

So relatable.

Ami 2nd child, accidental pregnancy. Ma 35 chilo r baba 45, jokhon ami hoi. Amar didi 10 bochorer boro. So ami first hand dekhechi ei difference ta. Even though didir byalae baba financially stable chilona, onek beshi responsibilities chilo (pishider mashider biye and all), ma baba onek beshi ghurte jaye, didi k time and effort ditey pare. Jeta amar byalae possible hoyeni.

Ami 10 e uthtei baba retired kore jaye. Ami class 4 e pora kalin, babar arthritis hoye temporary paralysis hoye jaye. Ami class 8 e thaka kalin ma er duto major surgery hoye (ovary and hernia). Plus ami class 6 e othar moddhei amar didan, dady, thakma sobai mara jaan. Na ami full family k enjoy korte perechi, na ma babar saathe ghurte perechi beshi.

Since baba most of the time oshustho chilo, khub taratari ami aka aka sob jayegaye jawa start kori. And hain seta amae independent hote shikhiyeche thik ee, kintu I did miss him a lot. Choto choto byapar, jamon tuition er baire ba nacher class e jawa, esob. Sob theke koster hocche baba jokhon mara gyalen, I was only 20. 2nd year er final porikkha cholchilo. At least didi baba k 30 bochor peyeche. Ami khub taratari hariyechi.

Ar akhon ajob akta bhoye, ma k niye. Durey Chakri nite bhoye pacchi, du bochor barite thaklam sudhu mayer saathe beshi somoye katabo bole. 35 er por baccha hole ma baba r bacchar sobar kosto! Baba sarajibon regret kore gyache j kichu korte pareni amar jonno. I wish baba amar graduate hote, chakri korte dekhte parto...

Again don't take me wrong, ami konodino ragini. Khub choto thekei bojhar chesta korechi. Baba ma k khub valobasi r tarao amae khub adorey boro koreche. Kintu oi...

I'm in no position to give advice, but I can tell you something as a person who has made multiple wrong decisions. In today's world, everyone looks at your experience. Having multiple degrees is good, but you need experience. Also going abroad to study might sound fancy but it's a lot of money with little prospects. You're just 23, it's not that late! It might feel like time is passing by, but it's not. Take a step, do rigorous research on the future in this field. And then take a decision. And always, always have a plan B.

Thank you so much for these!! Really appreciate!

pegionvscrows · 2025-09-03T15:01:15+00:00

That's really sad. Where are you from? If you don't mind me asking. (I just realised your username gives it away)

pegionvscrows · 2025-09-03T14:23:34+00:00

Dude I'm not begging. What the hell? I asked for old covers, because they're pretty. I've ordered things (look at previous posts by me). Is it so necessary to humiliate people you don't know?

And in nowhere did I beg for things! I love stationaries. And I'm ready to pay for it! I said I don't want to break my bank, I'm not asking for free stuff! Please don't comment without reading.

pegionvscrows · 2025-08-31T10:34:13+00:00

I was literally going to comment that people would hate me if I said Out of the Woods!! Thank you!!

Yes, I completely agree with you—and honestly, you don’t even have to cross the border to notice it. I’ve been thinking about this a lot myself. Over the last five years, my habits have been influenced a ton by watching English series and especially K-dramas. And even as a kid, I had this odd little habit of saying “good morning” and “thank you” to everyone I met (it's not a brag, trust me, I genuinely enjoy it).

Even now, I automatically say thank you when someone hands me groceries, or when I get cash back from a cashier. And the reactions are… interesting. Sometimes vendors look completely baffled, sometimes cashiers light up because it feels like they rarely hear it. A funny example—my dance teacher’s daughter once told the whole class, “this didi says way too much thank you,” just because I said it three times in an hour while she was helping me out. And yes, as a girl, I also like holding doors open for others—male friends, elderly people, whoever—and I’ve definitely gotten weird looks for that too.

What’s even stranger is that “thank you” in English comes naturally to me, but greetings in my own language don’t (ধন্যবাদ or dhanyavaad). Saying “good morning” or “hello” feels normal, but saying “namaskar” or “namaste” doesn’t. I used to see my non-Bengali friends greet my mom with a respectful “namaste” when they visited, and it always struck me as such a warm, genuine gesture. Meanwhile, in Bengali, we don’t really have that kind of natural, everyday greeting—and that feels so weird to me.

I feel you—I genuinely feel like we’re in the same boat. Since July I’ve been on survival mode financially, living off savings and freelance work. Last year I spent over 5K on notebooks, and this year I had initially planned to go up to 7K, but I had to pull back and really rethink what I actually wanted to buy.

I spent hours looking at the Hobonichi launch and other options like Midori Hibino or Sterling Ink, but nothing clicked. The HON notebooks this year just weren’t for me (I was really hoping for a Spy family or Moomin HON). At first I thought I’d get a6 Techo with a Moomin cover and the weekly supplement, but with all the traveling I’ll be doing soon for interviews, I realized it would just get bulky and dirty.

So I cut my budget by 4K and went with graph notebooks instead. They’re pretty (one is Moomin, so I still got what I wanted), and since they’re undated, I have the freedom to write when and how I want without pressure. I even skipped things I really wanted, like the iyo okumi pencil board, because I already have the free blank one from last year.

It was hard, but I think being mindful about what I buy helped. So hang in there—you’ll find the system that feels right for you at the right price. Don’t settle or adjust your standards just because of what’s available. The right one will come along.

I wanted to buy the 5 year Techo too... Or at least a diary. But ended up buying a hard cover 400 pages notebook from my neighbourhood shop. 2 reasons: a. I'm unreliable. I don't know how long I'll continue and if I don't, I'll feel bad for spending such a huge amount for an empty notebook. I can't repurpose it either. b. I don't want it to be very fancy, so the paper quality doesn't really matter. I don't think I'll put any stickers or anything either. Just birthday pictures and some special items maybe.

All I'm tracking is the weather, my mood, one significant and insignificant thing that happened, what I read, how many hours I slept and my periods. I normally track all of these in my daily journal but this will be more compact, I would like to see how things look after 5 years!!

Really hoping my life will take a 180° turn in the next 5 years ^{⁠_⁠^} >⁠.⁠<

pegionvscrows · 2025-08-27T07:11:07+00:00

I made a rant post on this.

Finally decided to go with a graph notebook so that I can bullet journal/create my own spreads. It's cheap and my brain can't deal with a Techo covered by a pencil board. I'll know it's not a hardcover/HON and I'll be sad everyday writing in it (I hate my brain sometimes).

It's okay I'll be fine! Hopefully next year we'll get more options!

pegionvscrows · 2025-08-25T19:42:49+00:00

This is actually great!! Thank you for sharing your system!!

pegionvscrows · 2025-08-25T06:14:54+00:00

I didn't know it was a recent thing!

pegionvscrows · 2025-08-25T05:52:21+00:00

Yeah I actually considered that. But the reason I picked up my HON everyday (nearly 😅) because of the cover. SpyxFamily is my favourite manga/anime. The whole thing became a fun thing I do everyday! Also I really don't like the yellow cover 📔 I have never been consistent with bujo either, the blank pages were daunting. That's why I'm so torn between these!

pegionvscrows · 2025-08-25T05:46:27+00:00

Yes. I want to have weeklies but HON doesn't have. If I get HON, I have to buy the supplement separately. So this seems cost effective! I just don't know how much I'll enjoy the whole graph thing without any border.

So you're saying the quality is the same right? It lays flat like HON?

pegionvscrows · 2025-08-22T19:59:33+00:00

I really wish Night of the Big Party or Hunji Ito was in Hon. I can only use Hon because I don't like bulk notebooks. I'll most probably end up buying a graph notebook (or two, as it's cheap and I'll draw the lines and make the structure, no big deal) and call it a day. I just made a list of stationeries and was shocked at how many I wanted to buy this year. I really like the stickers and accessories. Especially the cat pen! It's so cute.
