Kill or Marco? Not sure about others, what Kill did to me and how I felt the adrenaline rush during the first watch, Marco failed to do it. Slept halfway through. Also being advertised as the violent movie in indian history, it failed to deliver even a decent story and the only thing it delivered in the name of violence is disgust and gruesome in the last 20 mins.

How to vent out your anger harmlessly which is caused by a idiot who I am forced to see everyday? Long story short, there is this stupid who is irritating the shit out of me. He knows exactly where to trigger and does that smoothly and no matter how much I act calm in front of him to not make him enjoy the after drama, it's of no use since my head starts aching after a while due to controlling all that anger. And, I can't show it either. It backfires all the time and I even tried mocking but god, I am helpless. And, I can literally do... 0 11 replies
Prove me Wrong - Buying a flat is falling into the trap laid out by politicians, judges, babus. They gain everything, you gain NOTHING. If you have **zero generational wealth, zero black money, zero pension from your ancestors, zero political or bureaucratic connections, and zero workarounds**, here’s how the system traps you: ## **Step 1: The Politician's Land Grab** - An MP or MLA gets elected and immediately purchases **a large parcel of land** in a developing part of the city. - This land is **bought using black money** but is registered in the names of their **relatives—sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, grandchildren, etc.** - Since the money used was black money, the **effective... 0 14 replies
How can I work on my trust issues when my instincts are always right? I find it difficult to trust anyone. Even when I do, it's never 100%. After talking to someone, just when things seem to be going well, I get some spidey sense or what and start distancing myself slowly from that and later witness something that confirms my instincts. By following my gut feelings, I've reached a point where people assume I'm some 'vagabond' that don’t want to stay in one place for too long. Now, I’ve started feeling too that my trust issues have led to commitment issues in... 0 0 replies

Office politics I recently started a new job 10 days ago. It's a UK-based company that offers remote work opportunities in India.

He has asked me to learn Hindi within 2 months, as the rest of the teammates are from North India. However, when I discussed this with my teammates, they mentioned that he is very helpful in other aspects. Could you suggest what actions I should... 3 1 replies

33M: Struggling with Emotional & Physical Connection After Divorce – Need Advice Hi everyone, I’m a 33-year-old male, divorced, and doing well in my career.

No discussion about the iitk research student? Every time there’s a death with a religious angle, or a gender angle, the Indian subs erupt. The justice is demanded for months under completely irrelevant posts. Now when a very brilliant student of our country lost his life due to an authority figure who won’t even face too many dire consequences. Probably a six month leave on pay. No one is talking about it. No one is asking for justice. This is where it’s needed the most. Against an authoritative government employee, who has unlimited power. Where’s the... 3 3 replies
