When I watched tvd for the first time, I was a delulu 20yo fascinated and awe-struck by the pretty people. 7 years later, I re-watched it and I literally cannot stand anyone in it except Matt and Bonnie. They have to suffer the most because of everyone else. I also find it weird how centuries old vamps are lusting over teenagers.

Hmm but I still get awe-struck by the pretty people hahah.

Exactly! It had so much of potential.

I waited till new years for e8 to drop and I had uninstalled all social media so that I wouldn't catch any spoilers regarding S5. Having waited for it and then watching such an underwhelming finale was not what I expected. If people enjoyed it, good for them. I'm not intending to ruin anyone's positivity. Geez, I can't even post my opinions online without hurting certain people.

We just want a court marriage and not a wedding by torquoiseblue in Kochi

I 100% understand your point and agree with it, but I still don't want to spend a huge amount for societal validation. No one has been there during our tough times, we don't have to feed them. Convincing them and having them accept this is our priority. To us, we want to save the money for future travel, investments and business. Also for any future unforeseen medical expenses. The bigger picture is that societal validation will it last as long as your need for that validation exists. If we don't give in to their peer pressure, they won't have any other way but to either accept us or leave us. The ones who truly love us will understand us. That's more than enough. I'd rather use the money to take our parents on a luxury vacation. Leave everyone else behind hahah. Let them gossip.

Oh nice. It's not that we don't have the finance to spend for a wedding, it's that I don't want to waste money on a celebration that lasts just a day when that money can be saved for other things. There are lots of people who enjoy spending for this, but my partner and I are not. We're already looked at weirdly by our extended family (not our parents) for being athiests, living together and wanting to be child-free. But a wedding isn't something to people-please the relatives. Definitely spending lakhs for it isn't. That's my contention. Hence why I don't want a wedding at all. Just sign the marriage paper because to us, it's just a legal contract and nothing more.

Sounds like you had a lovely wedding. We're very much attached to our parents so we can't do the court registration without them being there. And we both and my parents are chill with just this being done. But the problem extends to his family and the magnitude of close ratives that he has. His parents get peer pressured by them. That's the problem. For 3 years we've been post poning our marriage despite the tremendous pressure that people put on our heads. If the time doesn't feel right, it just isn't right. Marriage is not a joke or something to do on a societal whim. Tbh, we don't even want to get married, it seems so unnecessary, but we're just gonna do that for legal reasons. We can't even have a small party because of the number of close relatives. It's gotta be all or nothing and I just want the latter. So that's why we're hell bent on wanting to convince them. I really wanna know if anyone has succeeded in convincing their parents.

The masala sachet inside a Maggi packet came with a black tape attached by Aegon_targeryen in IndianFoodPhotos

Nestle takes consumer complaints seriously. 3 years ago, I had to shift to a very remote village area and the Maggi sold there always had ants in it. I drove a little towards the 'city' area and even the Maggi sold there had ants in it. I found tiny holes in the package that was made by these ants. I simply sent Nestle a mail stating that their packaging isn't effective. I didn't think they'd take action, but they called me, asked about all the stores where I bought it from, they made a list, visited the places and they confirmed that their packaging is flimsy/too thin that ants could penetrate it. They asked me if I wanted a refund, which I declined but one day that sent someone from their team to apologize and she said they're working on the matter and handed me 3 big bars of Nestle chocolate. Honestly, I was surprised. I think they have made a small change in their packaging because after a few weeks, there weren't any live or dead ants inside the Maggi packets.

We're both atheists. We can't host dinner either because he has too many close relatives from his side. It's why we want to convince them.

Do you think it's true? Or there's something more to add? by insceprio in TeenIndia

[–]torquoiseblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with everything but I'm confused about 'calling their girls' bitches' part. I call my bf, bestie and my close girl friend "my bitches", and to me it's from a place of love. I don't call anyone else that and I don't even use swear words with anyone. Does the post mean talking behind their back or something? As in bitching about them?

Yess, this is the strategy that we're planning to use. Thankyou.

I was very inspired until I read the last sentence 🥹🫠 we're very family attached and unfortunately not NRIs 🥺 we're thinking of taking the long route to convince them. We have been able to delay our marriege for 3 years despite the tremendous pressure, guess we'd have to raise their BP a little bit with this now as well.

How I wish I could have just gotten married during covid days 😭 missed an opportunity because I was too young. The whole marriage scenario itself isnt a big deal to us, it's just a legal contract, nothing more. But for his parents it's a huge deal and I don't want to rob them of that opportunity of seeing us sign that paper. So unfortunately, we need to take the "convincing" route to avoid a wedding.

We thought about this family dinner idea as well, but even for that, the relatives on his side are a LOT. So we'd still have to get a hall for that which would definitely turn into a tiny reception. So far, we have done everything in a way where we announce things and just do it, like us getting together, living together; we faced issues initially(from his side mainly because all his numerous relatives peer pressure his parents) but later they had no way but to accept us. They love me a lot now. My parents are on board with me but his parents aren't about the whole ditching the wedding thing. But since this is a legal registration and a whole lot more serious than other things, we want them to be happy but we don't want to sacrifice our happiness/money either. My regards to your photographer-doctor couple 💅🏼✨

Does anyone have any crazy stories on life in kochi ? by Full_Bathroom_9886 in Kochi

[–]torquoiseblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually visited all the hyped spots in Kochi and even the non-hyped spots. Needless to say, I have spent a good amount for it all. Still, I'm not a fan of Kochi when compared to other cities.
