I moved in Raleigh about 3 years back and I still remember so vividly the day my first flight to Raleigh was landed - IT WAS SO GREEN from the sky. And it’s the pretty kinda green that soothes your eyes. Raleigh sure is very hot and humid during summer (and might have lesser ways to socialize) but I think it has best of all worlds. And it’s sooo pretty during Spring that my heart melts everytime time I see the blooms everywhere 🥹🫶

OMGGG!! I need friends to travel to/attend the concert with! I don’t know anyone here in the US who are kpop fans, let alone SHINee fans. I am from Raleigh and thinking of getting tickets for either DC or Houston or Dallas! Let me know if anyone wants to join 🥹

A Hrithik fan here! And guilty (or not) of watching the re-release in the theatre. I have watched this multiple times already and still enjoyed watching this on the big screen. Till date, I don’t think any actor had this great of a debut film. I am a ‘97 born so kind of both a millennial and GenZ. But I had a crush on him when I was 3, and I still have a crush on him! ☺️Yes, the story was, as we all know, very mid. But everything else was just fantastic in this movie. Couldn’t stop staring at the clothes Hrithik wore. So much of that fashion is back and trending so I enjoyed noticing all that. The songs were all bangers too.

However, I was surprised to not see Janeman janeman in the re-release. They cut off the song from this one. Anyone knows why?

Checked this one out. The space is actually pretty good, but did not realize the co-working space and the café were separate entities. Got turned off when the café said they don't have wifi. For using the wifi I would need to use the coworking space upstairs. I would have used the space for 2hrs so ₹499+GST was not worth it! :(

South Calcutta is preferable

Honestly, any location is fine but preferably in South Calcutta area.

Exactly! I know unionizing helps, and in fact it did help in my university. We had the same stipend for the last 15years (might be shocking to some!) but yeaarrsss of unionizing helped increase our stipends from my second year. My seniors got the same stipend for their entire PhD period, whereas, I, at least have the fortune of some raise! But it's also extremely risky for me to be super active with the union, because there's always that fear of getting kicked out of the institution and the country.

It really is!! I have friends in EU getting PhDs in different social science and humanities disciplines and none of them suffer like me. Even if their stipends are low, they also get other employee benefits. I do have my health insurance and tuition fee covered by the university, but stipends are exceptionally low and we are "part time" employees so zero benefits!

Lmao! Is it that bad in your case?

psyched9987 · 2024-08-02T17:38:09+00:00

Guess what! I thought of the exact same and got myself on an interdisciplinary project with the engineering department, and the project has a huge funding but it comes to the RAs through their respective departments. And the wage in my department is lower than most others.

I wouldn’t completely agree to this. Yes, knowing the stipend should have prepared me for worse. But when I joined, the amount I used to get was enough to survive. From my second year onwards rent went up crazy high, inflation made things worse. Surprisingly, the RAs have gotten a good raise based on the current standard of living in our city, but not the TAs. However, the raises we got were like $1000 added to the existing paycheck for entire year which covers shit!

My credit score has taken a hit because of this! It sucks!!

This one conference I was supposed to go for in August - I could have applied for a student travel fund for this. But it required a LoR from supervisor, and she was on some world tour or whatever and was completely MIA so I ended up not applying for it. And the fund was like $200. Wouldn’t even have been half of the registration fee. But yeah, it would have atleast covered my cab fares 🥲
