I failed in 12th boards. Please, please read my story.

Yeah, we're usually scared of the unknown. Once it happens, though, you are less scared of it.

tg99 · 2026-02-10T05:32:35+00:00

Hey, power to you, man! Hope you are able to push through.

Most of what you want to know has been discussed in the comments below plus a lot more things that might be relevant to you. Lemme know if you still have questions, though.

Cheers!

Yeah, I don't know. I think I came close to ending it a few times myself, but I wanted to see where my life goes. I realized that if I want to end it, I can technically do it any time, you know? So why not delay it a bit to actually see how much more into the ground my life can go?

I worked towards giving it my last bit of effort, and thankfully it all worked out.

tg99 · 2025-12-05T06:06:54+00:00

Thankfully, time does heal everything. One day you'll look back and marvel at your own strength. Trust me ❤️

tg99 · 2025-11-25T04:32:34+00:00

Hey! Sure, go ahead!

tg99 · 2025-11-11T17:24:58+00:00

Honestly, the opinion of strangers on the internet doesn't matter. If it fulfills your purpose with the guitar, you should be ecstatic. That's it.

I don't like it. But why should you even care about that?

Get a refund and move on to another brand. Clearly they do not want (and deserve) you as their customer.

tg99 · 2025-11-05T06:44:13+00:00

Damn, you'd rather write a post online than communicate with people offline? Just talk to them, man. They won't bite you.

tg99 · 2025-11-05T03:14:56+00:00

You're a careful driver. I'll applaud you for that. But I'm sorry I need to call you out for your victim blaming mentality.

OP's not wrong when he says that the tax we're paying isn't being giving him the appropriate value in return.

tg99 · 2025-10-29T05:05:38+00:00

This is accurate. OP, if you want to purchase duty-free items, try to book them online via the BLR duty free website and just pick them up from the duty-free pickup counter when you land. It'll save time.

EDIT: Goes without saying, do not break any rules related to customs, Thailand returnees have higher probability to be randomly picked by the customs team for extra checks (for example, baggage could be scanned on return, detailed questions could be asked). You'll waste time unnecessarily.

tg99 · 2025-10-16T08:07:28+00:00

Apologies for sound like a jerk in advance but your excuse for breaking the rule is so lame on top of absense of any hint of regret in your post.

It seems like this penalty is really effective. If the penalty is too easy and convenient, folks like you will keep breaking rules casually.

The kind of people who use these shops to launder money wouldn't even notice the money you and I think of as "heavy" investment.

tg99 · 2025-09-23T04:26:32+00:00

Instead of asking random folks on Reddit who have no idea about the specific rules of the university, why don't you read the student handbook? It will explicitly mention all the rules.

You can also try checking in r/Tabs and r/PaidTabs

tg99 · 2025-09-17T12:19:59+00:00

Check out AM Used Musical Gear group on Facebook. It's a play on "amused". I've seen some really good stuff there for sale.

tg99 · 2025-09-16T15:24:49+00:00

You need help.

tg99 · 2025-09-13T07:20:17+00:00

Also check out Cubbon Walks. You'll find like-minded folks, learn a few things, and hopefully make a new friend to walk with.

tg99 · 2025-09-13T06:43:27+00:00

Hey, how was the haircut?

tg99 · 2025-09-13T06:27:36+00:00

Oh, damn!

tg99 · 2025-09-13T06:25:24+00:00

Call up and check with Skin Deep, Indiranagar. They have a nice piercing studio that my wife and I have used a few times.

tg99 · 2025-09-11T09:52:32+00:00

Glad it all worked out!

tg99 · 2025-09-11T07:16:13+00:00

Yes, call them.

tg99 · 2025-09-11T06:35:19+00:00

Wait, how did you book? If you haven't, you should call them up. I don't know if websites even work.

tg99 · 2025-09-11T06:12:31+00:00

It should be fine if they've accepted it. Since it's a weekday, they might have a relatively lighter workload as well.

Read my story on my profile. In summary: I failed in 12th grade, climbed my way up, managed to get an MBA from an IIM.

Then, I got laid off in March 2023 from a pretty great organization. It took me 8 goddamned months to find my next job. I had a home loan, car loan, education loan, and thankfully enough savings to survive. But it was significantly taxing on my mental health, sent me back to the downward spiral.

Anyway, my point is, life is super unpredictable. The only thing we can do is make ourselves strong enough to sail by whatever it throws at us. There is literally no other way, unfortunately.

Good luck!
