Why does our society treat sex workers so poorly? Yesterday I spoke with a sex worker, and what I discovered was quite distressing. She explained that she is involved in this due to poverty and the caste system. I asked her to elaborate on that. Then she explained that she belongs to a lower caste and that their forefathers had likewise done this kind of work. She lacks education and cannot find work. Society considers her as garbage; they shame her for her condition and never offer her a hand. I've heard that there are NGOs out there who... 1 20 replies

Indian parents have to learn to let go I come across so many Indian parents who clutch on to their children. My physiotherapist is a young woman. A few months back she said her parents were looking for a boy for her. She said that she is not looking for a boy for herself as her parents will not accept it 🤦 Now that she is engaged to this guy who her parents found, she says that if they were not in the same city, her mother would just come and stay with them! Seriously?! She was... 4 2 replies

How do you stop being afraid of change? I just feel like a part of me just doesn’t want to accept change and evolve with time. Mind doesn’t want to leave comfort zone. This easy mentality of living this way has created a lot of hurdles. Because in life, a change is important to see any sorta growth and improvement. Losing weight requires exercise and change in diet. Making more money requires upskilling or going to back college. But nobody really talks about how to be postive. How to be confident. How to be fearless. How to... 1 0 replies

This is not a love story—it’s a story of love. It’s not a question, just something I want to share to see if anyone has experienced something similar. I met a guy at a random competition, and we became friends. First, it was a movie, then food, then more movies, studying together—and that’s how things progressed. Now, we spend most of our time together. He’s a great friend—he listens to me, cares for me, and I care for him too. Sometimes, he hugs me, but just casually. He often tells me how much he loves me (platonically) and how... 2 2 replies
Why do our HCs and SC still function only in English? English is not a mother tongue for many Indians. If you didn't study in super good school, chances are that your English understanding skills are limited. Justice shouldn't be accessible based on language, and that too a non native one. Why do our High courts and SC function only in English? Why haven't we fixed this Himalayan blunder yet? In many European countries, supreme court's function in more than one native language. Practically it is possible. 3 0 replies
What do you think of people who type cngrtzzz, hpy bdy ? Do you find it offensive? Gone are the days when people type in abbreviations while texting. It was way back in 2008 to 2013 when people were still sending sms and typing within a character limit that people typed liked this. I found this girl who texts this way even now. Honestly I find it so irritating. Just imagine someone wished your birthday with a message like 'hpy bdy'. Why did you even bother? I mean it's not even hard to type these days with keyboards that finish the word for you. 4 0 replies
Do you think the opposition is harming the Indian society by mentioning caste all the time? My father was recently watching a news debate where the topic was "jaat". The anchor as well as the speakers all were asking the "jaat" of each other and other political leaders. May be doing the caste census may give us a better idea of the developed sector of the society. But I think that rather than doing this we should try to eradicate the caste system because it is a factor that is dividing Indians. However the opposition's main agenda seems to do the caste census for which... 3 0 replies

Why do people agree on arranged marriages? Heyho, first of all Im german and not used to the concept of arranged marriages at all. But Id really like to know how people in India usually get married. Like whats the procedure in the case of arranged marriages? The 2nd question is about the acceptance of arranged marriages: for me the concept of not being able to chose my partner only by myself without any foreign interference would be unacceptable. I want to find the "perfect" partner and before I more or less officially found my girlfriend,... 2 0 replies
