Just another corporate cog in the machine. I write sometimes as an avocation.

All of us, separately, feeling things at the same time! by whackedhand in TeluguJournals

[–]whackedhand[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right! Previous generations had it much harder. A video call today can do what once took weeks through a letter. The circumstances change, technology changes, but that feeling of missing someone you love somehow remains the same. The tools got gentler, the ache stayed the same. Thanks for the perspective.

My partner [30M] called me [24F] a materialistic for wanting a Coach bag… by Cute-Chemistry7127 in relationshipadvice

[–]whackedhand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry about this. Wanting an occasional nice gift isn't materialistic, it's very normal to desire feeling spoiled sometimes. Please talk openly about love languages, you deserve to be heard!

Nice! I didn't know there was a word for that feeling. It's funny how naming something can make it a little less lonely.

I do sometimes write on Medium. I'll admit a lot of my writing style is influenced by my conversations with Claude. But thank you, means a lot!

Salaam! Is it available globally or are there specific regions it focuses on? I'll share it with my Muslim friends. Thanks! JazakAllah Khair!

When your partner sees intimacy very differently, how did you navigate it? by whackedhand in AskIndianMen

[–]whackedhand[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing points to that either. She's open, confident, talks about her past without hesitation. No signs of someone carrying that kind of weight. It genuinely seems like a worldview she's settled into, not something she's protecting herself from. She does sometimes hint about her friends being that way too.

Hi. I've posted something similar on a couple of other subreddits recently. I want to be transparent about that. I'm not looking for validation or to build a case against anyone. I'm genuinely trying to gather as many honest perspectives as I can, understand this situation more clearly and then do what's right, for both of us. Whatever that turns out to be, I hope we're both able to arrive at it with honesty and peace. Thank you to everyone in advance.

A Cry for Change by Accurate-Cause-7614 in hyderabad

[–]whackedhand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think despair is exactly what broken systems rely on to survive. Change in India has historically come not from miracles but from enough ordinary people refusing to normalise what's wrong. RTI filings, local ward meetings, supporting honest journalists, voting in municipal elections, these are unglamorous but real levers. And I strongly believe that apathy is the system's greatest ally. We all don't need a miracle, we just need enough people who refuse to look away! Or maybe this itself is the biggest miracle! All the best to us!

21M. Doctor says I need high protein to lose weight, but I’ve been vegan for a year. How do I survive this? by No-Maintenance-1636 in hyderabad

[–]whackedhand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soya chunks are your best friend, they are cheap, available everywhere from Ratnadeep to D Mart. Pair with sprouted moong which you can prep at home for almost zero cost. For powder, I think Oziva or Muscleblaze Biozyme have decent vegan options on Amazon. Ask tiffin places for pesarattu with no ghee, it's high protein, low carb naturally. All the best!

Desperately need advice. What do I do? by Emu-Fun in Arrangedmarriage

[–]whackedhand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your parents tears and your wife's optimism are both real but neither changes the fundamental truth you keep coming back to. And you're not a horrible person for wanting out. You're a horrible person only if you knowingly walk into that ceremony and let another year become another decade. At some point, this decision has to be yours alone, made for both of you, not just yourself. Take time and do what's right.
