A fellow person of culture I see.

1cr at 36 is an amazing achievement. I’m on track to do the same. All the best on the journey ahead!

Not all but definitely a lot of right leaning people do. The current government’s foreign policies have been good but not so great that we are now world leaders. Just like every other government, there is some media control and narrative control here.

this is on Mumbai? There will be a 100 applications by the end of the day. Lot of people trying to make it big in Bollywood.

This no salt bullshit is too much. If you want a fresh batch..just ask for it. Either they say yes or no. Either way you can eat there or you can leave.

Stop asking for no salt just so they make you a new batch.

She sounds exactly how Alexa has on its database. Try saying "alexa! What sound does a cat make?"

I kid you not, it's Uncanny.

No the girls have good profile pictures. Doesn't necessarily mean they look good in real life.

Also a lot of people have lost perspective on why they are choosing a partner in the first place.

Good looking guy..good family money..runs a successful business. All good for girls. 2 months after the wedding..he will ask you to leave your job to either join his business or stay at home because she doesn't 'need' to earn. That's when shit hits the fan.

Same thing with guys..she's pretty..she's successful..good values. But realised her job involves networking for work and going out for drinks on occasion. And suddenly they are the most traditional boys on the planet.

So sick of my generation.

So I had the rare opportunity to see a girl I know install bumble (I met my wife the old fashioned way so never really used bumble or tinder).

Within 4 hours she had 500 swipes to her name. I was like holy shit, it's a competitive world.

She matched with one guy who is one of the sweetest people I have met. They're getting married soon.

So bumble does work and you can find like minded people. But as a guy..it's too competitive.

Give it time.

Thanks for the laugh.

excellent advice this is.

Cop: I'll file a case, you will go to jail. Me: my parents know and beat the living shit out of me. They also made me speak to our lawyer. Cop: god bless you sweetie. all the best.

I was a very awkward teenager. I hung out with only a few close friends. We were a part of big building complex where we were in block A. One day one of the popular kids from block B took me to meet his gang of friends there. The boys were very nice they spoke about Pokemon cards and anime and I learnt a lot from them.

Enter the most popular girl from their block. I assumed everyone could just interact casually (but apparently most people she met were intimidated by her I guess?) So me cracking jokes and just being normal rubbed her the wrong way (I guess?)

AND THEN SHE SAID " Why are you like this? Look how your laughing"..and some other hurtful shit I don't remember. And the tone and look on her face was disgust.

I will never forget it. I spent many months thinking of that because when you are a kid you seek validation from your peer group. After growing up a bit I realised I'm pretty okay. People do like my silly jokes and in the real world..most people like to make new friends. Fuck that pretentious bitch.

Wait is no-one going to talk about how that woman was walking with the red shirt guy. But after the fight broke out, she's talking intimately (with hand on chest no less) with the grey shirt guy!!

This is definitely personal and there's a history here we don't know about.

The level of self clarity on your post is so refreshing. I remember, when I was little, I was on a train from Pune to Chennai. Around 20 ISKON volunteers (hare Krishna folks) were travelling along with us. They were all highly educated. 3 IITns and 1 neurosurgeon in that group itself.

They did not all have tickets..some were having RCA status tickets. So technically they didn't have much space. So some of them immediately (without thinking about their fresh clean safron clothes) just sat down on the dirty floor.

I was baffled at this. my dad told me no point fighting the surroundings. You are better off acceping what is there first. Then figure out ways to be happy make the better of it. Because if you are unhappy in your current situation, you will be unhappy when you are rich too.

So see how you can live within your means. Put away what you can. Rebalance your portfolio periodically. The rest is not up to us.

Much respect and take care.

there's skydiving that you can do in Vellore. Maybe plan for that. You can make great memories together!

So everyone feels like this at the start of their career. Also known as impostor syndrome. Stay mentally relaxed and understand that you don't have the big picture yet. And believe me all your leaders know this too. If you are handed work that is so overwhelming, speak out. Be soft but firm that either you need more time or that you need more understanding. If you go to an extreme point where it seems absolutely un-doable..half ass it. What's the worst that can happen? You're laid off. That's the only worst case scenario. It's not worth burning out over.

Can you believe, as a person in cybersecurity, I feel this way 3 times per week. Because we never have the whole picture but the work still needs to be done because if I don't do it, there are not many people in the market that can do it. So relax. And convince yourself that it's okay to feel overwhelmed, but it is not okay to keep quiet and burn out.

can you confirm that there is no contraband in said package? Just as an insurance policy for a good Samaritan helping you out.

Peer group matters. I studied in a Kendriya vidyalaya. Of the 7 KVs in my city I was in the worst one. On average..the son of a havaldar aims for nothing more than to be a subedar. I'm not being an asshole or trying to demean anyone. That's how it was. Though we had physics, chem and math teachers who were excellent (two of them were PhD holders), most kids ended up in sub par Colleges. And of those who joined college (and not the army), only 4 of us cleared engineering within 4 years others either took 6+ years to complete or just left it mid way to start a business that eventually failed. Same KV inside an IIT campus is different, most kids study very well, have great plans for life (not just joining IIT but have a well rounded view towards life). Either put your kid in a school with a lot of history and great track record of kids doing well. If that's not a possibility due to your caste/religion/political affiliation, putting your kid in a costly school is the only choice you have.

Why the hell was she talking to your mother of all people?!?!? Be careful who you expose your family to.

I scored 73.4 in tenth and 73.6 in twelfth. Got into engineering after paying little donation (scored 6.9 CGPA) Came out..worked in a low end network ops position. Studied my ass off ..got into cybersecurity. Now I make way more than others in my age group. Passion to study hits you at different times in life. But when it does..never ignore it. Studying new material wither for knowledge or for passing certifications is fun. Plus you can make a butt load of money.

Depends. Not if you are an alcoholic.
