Just a rant 23M, I moved to this city a few months ago for work, and it's hitting me now how hard it is to make friends once you're out of college. Life feels like this repetitive cycle of going to the office, coming home, and doing it all over again. I just have colleagues at work. I'm an introvert, and honestly, this city feels like it's pulling me even deeper into my own shell. Some days, I crave having someone around to talk to or just sit with. Other days, I... 4 4 replies

Bihari Pride - Contributions, History and criminal neglect I regularly come across Biharis/others in daily life who are absolutely not aware of heritage of Bihar and its contributions to the world.

First the Mauryan period, then the Gupta and later the Mughal era. Mauryan era - Its hard to wrap your head around... 3 2 replies

I mirrored my iPhone, went into Netflix, found Rush Hour 2 and BAM, back in business. My laziness reached a whole new level today. 1 8 replies
Founders How to Learn to Sell? Founders of startups: How do you Sell better? I have sold a little but struggled to make it a process. a. I cannot handle the endless follow ups, b. I tend to not do the essential wining and dining cultivating necessary to chase a big deal (I simply don't have the time or funds given the startup), c. I don't take 10 rejections a day very well - it spoils my day. It annoys and demotivates me that Sales only becomes more as a Founder. But I have to... 1 3 replies
