How’s your relationship with your dad ? My dad was an alcoholic, but deep down, he was a good man. For a long time, I was angry with him and kept my distance because he was not very attentive to us as kids. Despite his flaws, he made sure to send me to Europe for further education, which shaped my life. Today, I am doing well professionally and living and working abroad. Sadly, he passed away last year, but we had made peace in the last few years. Just a day before he passed, he called... 5 10 replies
Am I Wrong to Feel Upset About My Girlfriend’s Christmas Plans? My(24M) girlfriend (23F) recently made two new friends at her workplace, and they’ve developed a close bond. I’ve spoken to one of them a few times briefly, like when I’m on a call with my girlfriend, and she joins in the conversation from the background. At some point, I suggested to my girlfriend that she should introduce me to them. However, she clearly said she wasn’t interested in mixing different friend groups, and I was completely okay with that. Recently, I asked her if we could plan something together... 1 10 replies

Do married people in workplaces, across all fields, really cheat ? So, I was traveling in an auto today, and this middle-aged aunty joined midway. She was on the phone, saying something like, "Why won’t you come to meet me? I’m waiting for you. You know we can’t talk once I reach home." It got me thinking—are workplace affairs really that common? Is this kind of thing happening everywhere? If you’ve got any workplace affair stories (funny, messy, or just wild), feel free to share. Curious to know how common this really is! 4 10 replies
What would it take Congress to get rid of the Gandhi siblings in the leadership and have some common sense patriot as their face? Indians cannot keep voting for the BJP forever. We need some strong leadership in major opposition party. With Gandhis at the helm, it is going to be difficult for first time voters or repeat voters to find any hope in the INC, politically. In my opinion, there's no scope for improvement for the Gandhi siblings and Congress needs a new face. 5 10 replies
How do you, as a right wingers, feel about the fact that Bhagat Singh was a socialist? I have seen Bhagat Singh being celebrated by staunch Right wingers. But Bhagat Singh was a hardcore socialist, as very clear from his writings, and as far as I understand Right wing, you guys hate anybody who has any sympathy or love for socialism, even if they love their country, because you guys consider socialism to be a poison first, then consider everything else. Bhagat Singh was also a non-religious atheist and I don't remember him being sympathetic towards Hindus cause or anything. The only thing I know is... 5 10 replies

Why Is Female Loneliness Never Talked About? Hi everyone I, 23F and I’ve been struggling a lot with loneliness lately. It’s not just about being single—it’s the overall feeling of disconnection. Friendships feel shallow, dating feels impossible, and most days, I’m just trying to convince myself that it’ll get better. Is companionship too much to ask for?

Why are people so darn pessimistic on India's official subreddit ? I don't get it, honestly. Yes, everyone discusses stuff here and there but goddamn they're the most pessimistic, brain rotten people ever.

Why Does Everyone Get Triggered Over the Smallest Things Nowadays? Lately, I’ve noticed something that’s been bugging me—why does it seem like people are so quick to get triggered over the tiniest details? It feels like we’ve lost the ability to let things go or take a step back and think, *“Is this really worth the energy?”* I’m not talking about big, important issues—those deserve attention and discussion. But sometimes, it feels like even the most harmless things get dissected, analyzed, and turned into controversies. A slip of the tongue, an innocent comment, or even a personal preference can... 4 2 replies

What made you appreciate India over rich countries? "Because there's a big stigma about living with your parents. Unless you have a family business, it's usually seen in a sense of you being poor, a man-child, or lazy. It has a very negative view behind it. And also most parents kick you out at a certain age because "you're too old" to be living with them."-- westerner comment. This one for me was enough that in India I can always have a house. And most people live in a house and doesn't need to buy one. 3 3 replies
