Are sacrifices worth it? if it is, then why is everyone fine with being mediocre? A thought that has been over my mind for awhile now. I (18F) took a drop for a competitive exam this year. Everything is going smooth but i wish to achieve more, go to a good college, learn coding, launch my own startup, learn new skills and even prepare for more upcoming exams.Whilst all this will not exactly guarantee that i will be happier as anything can go wrong or priorities might change; I always think about my friends who are okay with being fairly average. Getting into a... 5 0 replies

Need your opinion guys Hello, this is my first post here so I apologise in advance for any lack of format or chronology that hasn’t been followed. In 2021, I got married to a guy who is 4.5 years older than me in an AM setup. During our courtship we didn’t meet a lot due to covid and its restrictions and we only starting going out in the last one month of our wedding, that is June 2021. My then fiance has a good sense of humour but somehow he forgets the boundaries.... 1 0 replies
What Do Indian Men Appreciate in Romance? What's there love language? I've often observed how Indian women admire the way Korean men portray romance in dramas and movies – the gestures, thoughtfulness, and unique charm. But it got me wondering: what do Indian men value or enjoy when it comes to romance? Is it the grand gestures, emotional connection, subtle expressions, or something else entirely? I'd love to hear perspectives on what resonates with Indian men in romantic relationships. What Indian men except from their female partners? How can I make my man happy? 2 0 replies
What is going on with Indians and the Canadian Food Bank? I am 2nd generation Indian and I have noticed all my friends (from India) enjoy lots of food from the Canadian food bank. When the food bank opens the line is all the way around the block with Indian immigrants. I try to tell them that they should only take when they need it because most of them have enough money. My friends dad drives a Lexus and he still goes to the food bank every week. I am wondering why this is. Why cant we all respect the... 3 0 replies

Move out of India? I have been reading and hearing a single statement again and again: “If you have money, move out of India” Alright, can someone actually break it down? How much money? Which country? What do you do if you are a skilled professional here and dont get similar job there? Do not even get me started with MS or MBA in US or Europe. Getting a permanent citizenship is already tough and to live with constant stress of getting thrown out of a country due to job less is something... 3 0 replies
Is there anything worse that can happen to a guy than this? How do I move on? I met my girlfriend two years ago on Tinder. We are from the same city, so things worked out well for us. We fell deeply in love and enjoyed every moment together. I’m not perfect, but I tried my best to be the right person for her. I never talked to any other girl during these two years except my female best friend (and even that friendship ended), so there was never a 3rd person involved. In these two years, I shouted at her only once. It happened in... 4 0 replies

18M Getting belittled for my height. My cousin loves belittling me for my height, its not even playful at this point. He's 3 years younger than me and has a really big ego or pride in being 6 feet. Every single time we meet he compares height with me and says how small I am, why are you this small? I didn't know you were this short and he does this especially during family functions or when other people are involved. Goes around other people comparing heights with me. The worst part is he is... 2 0 replies
Laid off 2 months ago! Got laid off 2 months back (Tier-1 MBA grad with 3.5yoe) and while I’m getting some interviews, nothing’s converting yet. Starting to feel like this gap might keep growing and eventually hurt my chances of landing something solid. I’m staying patient and optimistic and all that, but I’m thinking- should I be doing something on the side (freelancing, upskilling, whatever) to cover the gap? How important is it? Main concern: If I don’t get a job in the coming months, I don’t want to look back and think, damn,... 2 0 replies
Will India face a civil war due to tax terrorism? Today , everything has become so expensive and salaries havent gone up as much.

Why are Indians obsessed with marriage? Most posts are about marriage, arranged marriage, men and women’s opinions on marriage, relationships, bad relationships, how women are ruining marriage proposals, how men are etc etc Now all these discussions just spews more generalisations of a gender. Wtf is wrong with all of you? Why this obsession? This just shows how as a society we propagate marriage for the wrong reasons. The only reason marriages happen in the west is because they love a person. They divorce if there is no more love. Stop spewing this blame game,... 3 0 replies
