Seeking intellectual discussion on languages known by people of Chandigarh.
1. I grew up speaking Punjabi, Hindi, and English. Punjabi was the language spoken at home, while Hindi and English were used in school and social settings.
2. Yes, I still speak all three languages fluently. However, I’ve noticed that my Punjabi is mostly reserved for family conversations, while English and Hindi dominate my professional and social interactions as mostly my circle is not from Punjab.
3. As I speak three languages, I feel it is more than sufficient to live in India.Though I have also learnt German and French because of Academic goals. If I were to raise children, I’d definitely teach them Punjabi (to stay connected to our roots as my parents speak Punjabi), Hindi (for everyday communication in India), and English (for professional opportunities). I might also introduce them to a foreign languages, depending on their interests and future goals.
4. I’m from Chandigarh, Punjabi and Hindi were more than sufficient as long as I was staying in India. But after moving overseas, I’ve had to adapt to different languages for education and career purposes. For example, I started learning German in Class 11 because I planned to study engineering in Germany. Later, I learnt French in university. While these languages aren’t native to me, they’ve been incredibly useful in expanding my horizons.
5. I prefer conversing in Punjabi when I’m with family, as it feels the most natural and comforting. I have different attachment with this language and will use it anyday. -

[SERIOUS] You are privileged af if "hey I don't have anyone to love/be physical with" is one of your problem(s)".In a country like India this shouldn't even be counted as a problem
It may not be important to you. It may be important to others. Some people run after money, some people yearn for someone, some people yearn for a spiritual belonging. Irrespective, everyone desires for a belonging, especially that someone who always put everything for a sacrifice for their parents or studies or career. They want that sense of belonging or those experiences in life. There is nothing "privileged" in that. On the other hand, people who have had that sense of belonging without even trying are the privileged people. -

While I agree that this isn’t as serious as hunger, unemployment, crimes or poverty, to say that this shouldn’t be counted as a problem at all is a bit of a stretch to be honest.
Everyone wants to feel like someone cares. Someone with our life in their hands. Some of us are lucky, others not so much. And if romantic love is something they aren’t seeking, good for them but if they desire it wholeheartedly, not having someone to love is a problem indeed. Of course not as big as disease, unemployment, poverty or hunger. -

Are there any NEETs here who have the privilege of going out in public to cope?
When the weather is fair I like to go out for walks or ride transit for fun.
I often visit old haunts because the memories I have at these places make me happy and are from a time in my life where I was better off. -

People of Delhi, what's your reaction to it?
At this point the air is so toxic that it should be a criminal offence to make a baby in Delhi or Mumbai. Imagine bringing a new life and exposing it to such air since day 1. That’s pathetic -

Where can I find affordable one day stay near in kazhakootam.
Won't your HR/Facility manager arrange this?
Inside Kinfra, there is a small resort place - called Avoki. Not great, but okay. Whenever someone visits our office they take this place. If it doesn't work out, there is Alsaj near kazhakoottam and many small places nearby.
