I haven't travelled in train for years, have a 53 hour long journey soon. How to arrange food for such a long journey? Is there food provided in train or any catering services, are vendors allowed in 2 tier AC compartment?
I am 23 and doing an internship. I am not getting paid and it's so shitty. I hate it and my career is over/ stuck. Let's face the reality, that I won't be a big shot lawyer. It will take me next 20 years to get salary/ earn 50,000 per month I am a failure and rat poison is the only thing, that I will buy next year when I will make 10,000 per month as salary or 20,000. What are your savings? How much you earn?
I watched a youtube video (Veritnasium) about how the radiation from the universe can sometimes bring errors in our computers which basically run on the binary system, to bring an error or a change is as simple as changing value of 0 to 1 or vice versa. No matter how sophisticated the technology is, there is always a risk My question is how can we trust the EVMs? Especially in a country like India where things like booth capturing are a reality. Is it not possible for the ruling parties to just pay up some tech guy to tamper with the machines? Why are these machines not open to public scrutiny and demonstrations? Shouldn't ECI organize hackathon or something like that to prove the "unhackable" nature of the machines? Is there a viable alternative?
Is crypto trading is legal in India or is crypto accept as currency exchange

Hello! I'm hoping to find information or studies into the economic impact of snowfall in the Jammu/Kashmir/Shimla area. I am told one road is cleared for the winter. How does this impact the local tourist economy during snowfall? Are there any economic studies done recently not pertaining to the wartorn nature of the area? &#x200B; Any guidance to resources or studies in the area would be greatly appreciated. I have found out that the Chandigarh-based SASE might hold information that might help but I am having trouble finding a database to comb through. &#x200B; Many thanks in advance, Venomixia
Abhinav Kumar was famously trolled for his appearance in the trivago ad. Why was he trolled in the first place? Is it bcoz a feminine beta male is giving you directions? Was it his accent? I never got why he got the all the flak that was thrown at him that people found it annoying What do you think that happened?
Hello, so 3 days back I got vaccinated with covi-shield and I need to take a COVID test (rt cpr) to go to my college. If I take the test in 2 days will it show +ve for COVID ? And if it does then how long should I wait to get tested for COVID ? And no I don't have any COVID symptoms. I hope people here can help...?
The other day, someone on this sub mentioned that they're receiving continuous calls from so-called NGOs, citing small-baby's blood cancer and other ailments and requesting for money. They asked how to know if it's original or fake, and whether they should donate any. Remember - If you donate to any such NGO once, these guys get your details like Name and Ph-number and pester you with calls everyday, and you'd start getting calls from 20 other NGOs. (Based on personal experience) &#x200B; Example of a fake NGO - I've been getting calls and even Whatsapp messages from this NGO - [Millennium India](https://themillenniumindia.org/). I've decided to dig a bit and this is what I found - &#x200B; Firstly, taking a look at the website, this is their banner image - [Millennium Website Banner](https://preview.redd.it/09sndcmmqto71.png?width=1076&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f15f5474e01b6c9ebae8845860755eabb7af3f3) We can see the registration id and PAN number (AAABM5517A). But a quick PAN search reveals something else.Another entity, that shares the same PAN. Want to guess what that entity is? Of course, it's another NGO. This time, it's [Life Line Care Foundation](https://www.lifelinecarefoundation.org/) [Life Line Care Foundation - Banner](https://preview.redd.it/lb9rrrssqto71.png?width=1086&format=png&auto=webp&s=a0f76f050746d2dd8ef31d2bb773ebf519d9abd5) &#x200B; And then I explored the website a bit more. This is on the main page - [Main-Page - Millennium India](https://preview.redd.it/v5l0ltvvqto71.png?width=1892&format=png&auto=webp&s=b541ebd86ecfdf675b3f03b63a29304863dddbd4) Quick reverse image search on Google gave these results - * First image ([Wikimedia 2014](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Orphans_-_Debmalya_Seva_Mission_-_Orphanage_-_Howrah_2014-04-06_9901-9902.JPG)) * Second image - first appeared in 2007 in [Sanjivini.org](https://Sanjivini.org). For all we know, the girl in this pic might have a kid this age now. * Third image ([Shutterstock image from 2010](https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/may-17th-2010-dindori-district-madhya-692282932)) I guess I don't need to say more, you get the gist. &#x200B; Now this is where it gets interesting. Going to the contact-us page, we see a phone number - +91 8446 333xxx. A quick search on Truecaller reveals the person's name (let's say - Shubham Joker). Dude has got a LinkedIn profile (link in comments). Looking at the top-3 credentials - * President, Millennium India \- Since 2002 (Maybe right from his birth) * Founder & Director - CRTVTY Media Pvt Ltd * A search for this org on LinkedIn provides just 1 result - same dude again. * No credentials, no people, no website - Not a real company. * Founder & Director - Equidius Solutions Pvt Ltd. * Look who we have as Managing Director - Shashank Jharia, his brother. * Website doesn't exist; No credibility of a real company. &#x200B; Further more, the website also shows some Partners. [Partners](https://preview.redd.it/0t3hz87rvto71.png?width=2372&format=png&auto=webp&s=62b055a77ea65e372f6bf3f772b5444cab566384) * SJ \- Doesn't take long to figure out it's not a company and just a logo created, coincidentally only containing the initials of Shubham Joker. * Equidius \- yep, that same company that has his brother as Managing-Director. * CRTVTY \- again, the same company who our SJ has founded, with no mention elsewhere. * Idea and Vodafone logos, because you can put them and who would even question? &#x200B; Now coming to the actual verification of the details, one can search for the NGO registrations in India at Darpan ([ngodarpan.gov.in](https://ngodarpan.gov.in)). Here are the details for [Millennium-India (pdf)](https://mega.nz/file/HBtCVBwR#b2Nyz7rUBWYdAnO88BAXo6sIouRDN3_pbTWjxsK2nns) and [Life-Line-Care (pdf)](https://mega.nz/file/eYsklBDZ#0fBiVwj8eK7l8oddI3FeG0xO3wf9rnLe9v0ey7nOmKE) NGOs. Both the NGOs on their website mention that their inception was in 2001, but in reality they both were registered just a few months ago (Aug-2020 and Feb-2021). In fact, one can also check the Internet-Archive (Wayback Machine) to actually verify if the NGO existed many years ago. When I checked for this NGO, there was no mention of the website before Aug-2020, it's actual registration date. [Internet-Archive Results](https://preview.redd.it/hci1xorkbwo71.png?width=2464&format=png&auto=webp&s=49fee8df80df1d52255263c48ad525895eea89cb) &#x200B; Needless to mention, the Key-Areas, FCRA Registration (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010) and Source-of-Fund details are not available. After looking at one, it didn't even take me a second to guess where the other is registered- Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, just a few streets away from the Millennium India registration address. &#x200B; Makes you wonder so many things - * Is it really that easy to loot the gullible public in India? * Is Jabalpur, MP becoming fake-NGO capital of India? I've seen close to 300+ NGOs registered in this city alone on Darpan, and almost all of them have similar stories. * How are these fake organisations getting successfully registered on a gov website? And why is it so easy? * What mechanisms does the government and Income-Tax department have in place, to verify the authenticity and transactions of these NGOs? * The part that's both hilarious and scary at the same time, is that some of these orgs have govt-funding, GST exemption and they even have the audacity to provide you with a 80G donation certificate for tax-exemption. Is our tax-system really that shallow? &#x200B; Anyway, I hope this ordeal helps someone. Do not fall for false-advertisement, fake causes related to fatal diseases for small babies - be strong to say NO and call them out if needed. Also, if possible, ask for UPI id / payment details for any of the patient's relatives. I always ask for such details and almost always the reply is - "Sorry, we can't provide those details." Never transfer amount to the org's fund. Note - This [HC callout](https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi/99-ngos-are-fraud-money-making-devices-hc/story-2AMyh5VMGA0edUtvtRnAMP.html) a few years ago says - 99% of NGOs in India are fake. DO NOT donate to these NGOs, unless you're very very sure of them, or have someone you know who's personally attached with them, or if you can verify their contributions and activities physically. In all other cases, stay away from them and donate to your local communities, old-age-homes, orphanages and adoption-centres and many more options out there. Cheers.
I got selected for an internship I applied to and they want me to come to Chandigarh after the trial period. I'm happy to leave because I was thinking about moving out of the house for a long time and this seems like a great opportunity. But, they are going to pay me 25K. Now I'm thinking, can I survive with this money in Chandigarh. I'm thinking about living alone and cooking my meal. Also, I don't know if they care, but I'm a little worried about the third wave. It'll make my life really difficult if I get stuck there. I mean it'll be the same as being stuck in my parent's house, besides that I'll have to pay rent and other expenses. Should I talk to them about this? I guess I should.
This is the summary of the call I had with the executive. * No re labelling will be done on the car * Complete flexibility in the number of days one wants to list * Can opt out of the program anytime * Fixed pay of Rs 35 per hour for the First three months irrespective of whether there are bookings or not * Post 3 months, the host will be paid 60pc of the booking amount. * Booking can be delisted 72 hours prior to the day for which you want to delist * Payment is weekly * Any damage within 10k will be repaired from Zoomcar with original parts. For damages costing over 10k, Zoomcar will utlise the car's insurance for the amount over 10k. * A separate Host access will be given in the app for personalised control * GPS and keyless entry devices will be fixed. No internal wiring will be cut. * The customer should refuel while returning the car to the level to which it was during the delivery. Else, Zoomcar will refund it. This sounds good to me. But What are the catches? What might I miss in the fine print?

Hello, r/india. I'm current working on a non profit discussion platform designed to connect Indians across linguistic barriers using integrated translation support for all text and images, and was wondering whether anyone would like to help provide translations, mostly a few dozen words or very small phrases that show up in the UI? I've implemented English and Hindi as I'm familiar with those two. I'm planning on including: Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, Odia, Urdu, Malayalam and more in the future. I have a list consisting of around a few dozen single worlds or small phrases. Please DM me if you're interested. Any help will be appreciated.
Hello everyone! I saw a post about electric vehicles in this sub a while back so thought I would post this message here: I am is currently writing a research paper on the effectiveness of FAME policy (which provides subsidies for electric vehicles) in reducing welfare loss to society. As part of the study, we are holding a survey for people who have bought an Electric vehicle under the FAME policy in Gujarat. The survey asks for no personal information and would take around 5-7 minutes to fill. I would really appreciate you filling out the survey if you have bought an electric vehicle under FAME in Gujarat/ forwarding it to other people if you haven't bought one. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/VvUBSfJiQT4FrSZi8 Thank you so much for your time
[Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/pmuwsy/confused_regarding_my19m_parents_relationship/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) to my previous post. First of all, thanks a lot to everyone who took out time and responded by giving advice. What I took from all the advices was that 1) I and my brother need to butt out of my parents relationship. 2) They need to see a marriage counsellor. I once again thank you all for the advices. I discussed this with my mother but unfortunately, things got sour between us as she started blaming me for the distance between them because she wanted me to take her side and she saw me not being involved in their fight as me being politically correct and selfish. My dad did say that me and my brother need to focus on our studies and let them handle their misunderstanding. But my mom is blaming me for all that happened and saying that they could've reconciled if I had taken her side (which according to me would have made matters worse). She's also asking me to distance myself from my father's side of the family because she feels that they are ignoring her in all family events (which they are to some extent) I've stated to her that I'll stand firm on my beliefs that this fight is between them and I'm in no way, getting involved in it again. This has made matters worse and we're not on talking terms as of now. I'm trying to convince her that my interference would make matters worse and that I'm not emotionally mature enough to sort out a fight between a couple that has been together for 25+ years. But she says that my selfish interests will destroy the family and she'll never forgive me for this. Is my stand right? How do I convince her of my stand?

I am looking to subscribe to an online BUSINESS newspaper. My main priority is to get in-depth analysis of major events. I want depth over breadth. I have observed that The Economic Times has a very wide range of coverage but very shallow articles, only touching the surface, with little background coverage. I haven't tried any other "business" newspaper. Nevertheless, I wish to read articles similar, in quality, to The Hindu's main newspaper.

I'm looking for some first-hand accounts of the 1943 Famine in Bengal. There's a lot of sources about food economics and imperial policy but those don't interest me. I really want to find out what day-to-day life was like. About what people on the ground experienced and what those who lived through it remember. Any ideas of articles or videos or other primary sources I should look at? Thanks.
I have come across too many people in this sub who think they are oh so special and different because they don't want children. I have lots of married friends who are childfree by choice. All of them live in tier 1 cities, completely in control of their finances, confident women who aren't afraid of judgment. I understand that women in India are socially conditioned to have babies, and they face a lot of pressure/back lash when they choose to live the unconventional life, so most of them haven't really ever questioned the idea of having kids. As a woman, I can relate to the fear and guilt one can have while making difficult choices that might be seen as selfish. But there's a whole lot of us living in so many different places, living through different phases, living in different ways. Surely one cannot go about life believing that all Indian women want kids because the 5 girls they talked to said so. I feel it would take a special kind of ignorance/obliviousness to think one is unique because they are child free. Do you really believe finding a child free partner is impossible in India? I agree it might be difficult, but the conviction with which people state they'd never find a partner because they don't want kids just blows my mind. Concluding question: Do you really believe finding a child free partner is impossible in India? ETA. Am married. Husband and I are fence sitters that check every 2 years about how we feel regarding kids. I made this post because I see this air of superiority in this sub, mostly among men ,who are so convinced they wouldn't find a partner in India because they are childfree. As if that makes them special somehow. It riles me that people can be so stupid to believe the entirety of women population in India want kids because the 5 odd girls around them feel a certain way. The responses have been reassuring and has restored my faith in normalcy.
Zuppee is a really betting game and worst part is this that there is no regulation. Disclaimer : I am not saying that Zuppe does this but how a person can scam gullible youth. A company can make easy to win small amounts of money and then when the bets become big the algorithm will not allow the user to win as there is no governing body for the same. Can't we file PIL for such shady businesses practises if they exist.
Hi, firstly, let me just clarify that this is the first time I am using movers and packers/cargo services, so pardon me if I come across as ignorant. I wanted to know if it's possible to transport alcohol, along with other household stuffs ofcourse, via one of the movers and packers, esp Gati. Has anyone tried transporting alcohol, and if so how has your experience been. Further, does anyone know of any courier/cargo services that transports alcohol. I came across one company called "Aipex Couriers" that specialises in liquid courier. Has anyone tried their services before? Kindly advise. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Title says it all. Father fainted a few days ago and now he thinks he's got epilepsy after watching a few homeopathic videos. The youtube doctors can't even explain epilepsy properly. They say crap like 'epilepsy is when the central nervous system fails to work' and parents get completely convinced. He hasn't bothered to get looked at by an actual doctor. How do I convince them that homeopathic youtube videos aren't proper medical solutions? Articles and videos debunking homeopathy and quack doctors on youtube don't seem to work and simply bounce off them.
I have started a new sub on jobs and internships in India. I feel this is something vital for an economy opening up after the lockdowns and also in some sectors like IT, we have a boom in hiring.

I exited my long trades today for a small loss. The Evergrande collapse and the markets getting spooked badly left me with no choice. Better to suffer a small loss now instead of being a deer in headlights and incurring a massive loss. Also the likelihood of the Fed tapering off is another risk. I hope you guys are able to protect your capital at least. I think it's prudent to exit all trades and wait on sidelines until a long overdue correction happens. Disclaimer: I do not know the gory details and ins and outs of the stock market. I just go by the news and the reality of the price action.

I haven't been able to get out of bed for the past few weeks, haven't showered, my feet are dirty and I can't even clean them, haven't change my clothes, haven't done the dishes since 1 week (the food is literally rotting in the sink and I don't have any energy to do it). I have lost my appetite and not been eating properly for the past few days(just one or two roti). I have a headache which comes and goes everyday the only hygienic thing I do is cut my nails and wash my hands. I literally don't have the energy to do anything, I just lay in my bed all day surfing through same 2-3 apps, playing dead by daylight or listening to cigarettes after sex and then masturbate. I have tried some things that can distract me but I don't feel happy no matter what I do. Even my dog is not able to cheer me up. I think I have lost my ability to feel joy or happiness. Someone please help me. And no, I'm not suicidal fortunately (as of now atleast). I know some of you might say bro just get up and do it but it's not that easy I swear. It's like my brain is stopping me from doing all this
I am 18F from Assam. I’ve just fled from an extremely abusive situation in my household. I can’t go back there. What jobs can I take up that might help me sustain myself for a while? I have about a year of experience in content writing and social media managing. Any advice or suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you! Edit and update: I’ve found a job! Which is great. I went house hunting with my cousin today but I am having a hard time as no one wants a teenage person staying at their house without a guardian. I am looking into hostels now. Hopefully I’ll find something soon. I am super grateful to everyone who reached out and offered me advice. I am exhausted now, I hope I’ll be able to provide a positive update something soon.

23-year-old female, working as a Data Analyst. My_Qualifications are Bachelor's with 81%, Master's with 87%, done theoretical as well as applied courses during university (had ideas of PhD, but dropped it later as PhDs have fewer opportunities in India and my family was reluctant as I am a girl and 5 years in PhD will be troublesome) I make good amounts, I love this job, but, I want to shift to Quant and trading firms. Skills: R, Python, C*, C++ (Certified in all languages), have done Mathematical courses in college, got some online certifications as well, Member of few book clubs, have won some literature competitions (if that matters) Hobbies: Designing a little bit, have taken courses and learnt how to design (in both computers and in real life), have won some competitions for that as well. Aiming: I am not aiming for top shot companies as I know it's not easy, I am aiming for startup companies. What should I do? And how can I transit to Quant and trading firms?
FIRST, let me tell you about my experience: My (26F) parents are seeing alliance, though I'm not comfortable with the concept I thought I'd keep an open mind, and the boys I've met are mostly hypocrites, lemme give u an example I was talking to this dude for a few months, it was going well, This dude was no saint , I am from a vegetarian community where eating non veg food is the equivalent of pork or alcohol in the Muslim world, this dude drank, smoked, ate non veg etc all of which I genuinely did not have a problem with, but he kinda freaked out when I told him I occasionally took medicated legal cannabis mostly for my severe anxiety and depression, though I don't smoke and drink. This dude always commented how he didn't like the clothes I wore and he likes simple traditional clothes in girls, though he had actually been to a stripping club during his foreign trips.. whenever he felt I was being too "liberal" immediately he says he's a traditional dude but also says he can't be with a totally traditional girl. We then had a meeting, when this dude came to my town for some work,the thing is I had added some weight during the lock down and was severely depressed, but after talking to this dude I felt happy and had started dieting and exercising and had even lost a few kgs, I had been open to this dude about my weight gain, my mental health and my difficult family situation, In this meeting we split the bills equally and all that, then this dude finally ends things saying that our, get this, VALUES don't match😂 I'm an average chilled out (mostly) girl with a rather relaxed outlook look on life, before when I was attracted to some cute guys, I used to approach them with a hi nd small talk,even for that I was branded as a desperate, characterless girl, I missed the red flags in this relationship because during this lockdown I was almost cut off from all human contacts except my parents I was just happy to have someone to talk to I guess. Even When I was not desperate for human contact I have seen/met with such boys. I had a talk about this with my mom and she said that though men do all sorts of stuff, the woman only should be the one in control of the purity and traditions as if both couples are same, the house will fall into chaos, and women having bad habits is more bad for the house values than the man. Though I do not agree with this statement it got me thinking about the fine prints in the contract of equality MY THEORY: The average Man in India expect equality with girls as long as the girl toes the traditional domesticated line and puts family above all,the girl should also be pure without excessive baggage, while similarly the average girl expects equality as long as the dude is a higher earner, well settled , big status job, Rich family,etc. Both parties are guilty. Though it seems like I'm stating the obvious happening in the country, I wonder why the farce of equality when people want to play the traditional roles, is it foolish of me to say I'd be fine with a home maker also because in the Indian social context the men who even agree to this tend to be lazy gold diggers. I normally don't believe in gender roles, but my mom says if I stray too far outside the traditional societal norms, I'll get bad weird dudes only. I don't know if I'm being idiotically idealistic and if I should tailor my outlook to a more traditional thinking. Please be honest, please be kind ,thank you in advance :) 🙏🏻
Well 6.5% growth for 30yrs straight is fishy as expected, the entire Chinese economy is built on sand, especially their real estate, evergrande is close to default and sinic follows the suit, the question is are we exposed to this in any way? , any contagion on its way? . I know some Chinese firms have invested heavily in our banks and if they conduct a fire sale on these bonds and stocks to stay afloat, our markets will crash too. Can anyone throw any perspective on this.

Please help! So I wanted to buy a laptop thru Apple India website, I put in the details of my Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card and proceeded but then the transaction was declined. After some time, I received an automated call regarding this transaction asking whether I want to approve it or not, so, I clicked on the button to approve it but nothing happened. After a while, I checked about online transaction limits and available credit on the card and everything was fine, so, I tried for 2-3 times again but the same happened. Then again, after a while, I received a mail in which it said "transaction declined due to security reasons" , so, I contacted customer care but they didn't know anything about it and just kept repeating that the issue was because of my unavailable credit limit, which, according to me was ok for the transaction. I don't know what to do further. Local branch can't help regarding the same because they handle credit card related things on call only. Axis is the worst bank. Literally. Edit - the transaction was of ₹101,610
Five days ago I placed an order from an Insta page for shoes worth 2499 Rs. Today I received the parcel and when I opened it I was shocked to see the damaged product. There were clear marks of stitches on one side of it. Color was also different. I got fake product. So I contacted to the page and asked to take the product return. They refused. And blocked me. I need help. What should I do now? Is it possible to file complain to consumer forum against Insta or online sellers? Any kind of help or suggestion is welcome.

Also didn't get any email confirmation . What should I do?
I'll leave out non-STEM programmes as I have no idea about non-STEM programmes. Edit: talking about PhDs only from top institutions.
A lot of Indian parents have children because of family presure or in some cases thinking that the child would somehow fix a broken marriage, the unborn child must be a great magician. Many parents are not financially or mentally ready to have children and I see a lot of liberal Indians on reddit and most of them are supportive of LGBTQ+ community. I only have one request, please don't be like "as long as it's not in my house" if you are planning to have a child remember there is a chance they can be queer. You have absolutely no reason to believe that they will be cisgendered and heterosexual. In other cases you can have mentally/physically challenged kids. By becoming a parent you are making yourself in charge of another life and you cannot back off if your kid doesn't grow up exactly like you want them to.
Folks, YT over the last few years has become the visual equivalent of Google search for about everything. There are many subjects where there is excess content, however, I wanted to take a poll on what do you miss or don't see a lot of, or don't have enough quality content in YT ? Edit - the purpose of the post is to get me some inputs on starting a YT blog, now though I have my topic for the blog, just wanted to scan the audience for opinions. So suggestions of beheading videos aren't going to work.. 😀
My sister recently bought a four-wheeler EV and she finds it difficult to find stations whenever she travels interstate. Several station-owners have their own individual apps, so she has to install and juggle between 6-7 apps at once. [Open Charge Map - The global public registry of electric vehicle charging locations](https://openchargemap.org/site), There is a public registry of charging locations but it has very few numbers from India. Does something similar to this but in the Indian context exist? Also, do you face similar problems?

Apparently Aarogya Setu app is required for people entering India, but the app requires an Indian mobile number to register and receive OTP. How is that even supposed to work in principle for those of us coming from overseas with no India number and no family or friends to borrow a mobile number for? Some people online say they don't check everyone, but it is still the rule so how do they expect it to work? Has anyone arriving in India experienced any issues?

I'm 19, pursuing mechanical engineering (second year) at one of the top 10 engineering colleges in the country. The fun fact is I never visited my college nor the college called its students to continue the studies in offline. I'm an introvert, I don't really talk much to my peers, I have very few friends (from my college) whom I talk to occasionally. There are so many clubs and teams in the college, to which I've applied but I never got selected cus I lost my interest in midway. The same thing is with my studies, I don't study much (I worked my ass off to get to this college but idk what happened when I joined it), although my grades are high (if you know what I mean). At this point of my life, I don't know what my ambition is and where is my life heading, but most of the people around me seems to have a definite plan or a path and working their way towards it. I simply scroll through the Twitter and think, what is the point of life at this point. So I really don't know what I'm asking here, so people if you think you can gimme some ideas or advices about my career or my skills or my life or my relationship, please tell me in the comment section 😄
1. How is your life being an atheist in Indian family? How do your family members react? 2. What do you do when your family arranges some Pooja? Do you sit with them and participate in all those rituals just not to make them sad? Or do you stay away? How do you react when they confront you when you decide to stay away? 3. How is your relationship with your spouse when he/she is a religious person? 4. How do you raise your kids? Do you teach them atheism or leave them to find thier own way? If you choose latter don't you worry they may fall into the trap of religion and mindless rituals? P.s. I am not against anyone who is religious. Just don't take this question personally.
Me(24M) and my ex girlfriend(both same age) had 2 years on and off relationship, it reached a point where it became so toxic,I missed her terribly , but the last we spoke she made it clear that i should not disturb her and that she is moving on. I accepted it and was trying to move on myself . the thing is we were really close, physically as well, and there were no promises made that tied up for this physical intimacy. She called my mom and started saying some stuffs about me that i exploited her emotionally and that i never really loved her,Yesterday her mom called me out of concern saying that why did the relationship end (she knew that we occationally stay together, and she did not know that she called my mom , my ex doesnt share anything to her parents), and she was saying things that it was my responsibility to take care of her, and that we both are immature now , maybe around the age of 27 we both will understand that we both need each other, she asked me to talk to her and rethink about this and that her daughter is very sad, and upset.She ended up saying that it is a black mark on my part that i got physically close with her and now im "escaping", and this is wrong Im kind of worried that they will show up at my door step with big problems im concerned about her future too, and on the other hand i feel so heart broken that this is where these things came to in conclusion, i loved this girl like anything and now it has come to this, hence the question in title :(

In class 10 (covid batch) I developed a habit of severe procrastination and didn't studied for the whole year not even a minute, I used to be a good student but now I am way below average. Although i did manage to get 88% due to online exams and took pcm in class 11th, i have again wasted 4 months of class 11th. Whenever i start studying i get overwhelmed by class 11th difficulty level and i don't understand a thing as my base has become very weak. As i have not been studying or doing anything productive for 1.5 years and depression has started to cripple in and i don't know what to do now as i don't even have a goal for my future i just took pcm to keep the career options open. My peers have gone way ahead from me in life as everyone is doing something productive. Suicidal thought are becoming more and more frequent. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for reading my post. my\_qualifications - a student in class 11th (cbse) with a studying capabilities of class 9th.
Genuine question, has anyone ever gotten their normal posts delivered? There's speed post, you can track your letter and it always gets delivered within a week, there's registered post which you can track as well and it doesn't take too long to get delivered either, and then there's normal ₹5 post which you can just drop in the letterbox or at the post office. I send letters regularly to friends (hoping that they will someday write back but only a few have so far :')) and have tried all three but none of my normal posts have ever gotten delivered, and I'm not exaggerating when I say none. I must've sent normal posts 3 times now, once in 2010 when I sent an invitation for my birthday party to a relative of mine who lives in the adjoining city when I was one less than half the age I am now (math geniuses get to work!). Before you say anything, yes I bought stamps and attached them on the envelopes every time. Then again sometime around 2015 and one this year, hoping that India Post would have fixed whatever was causing the letters to not get delivered but no luck. I know that the people I write letters to are not unreachable and don't live in remote areas either because I have sent registered and speed posts to them which did get delivered well on time. The normal post that I sent this year was an experiment to check if it would get delivered this time so I wrote a letter specifically addressed to the person who's going to open that letter because I suspected that there were confidentiality issues and that the person(s) responsible for getting the letters to their destination was/were keeping them for themself/themselves. Still didn't get a response. So now I think they just destroy all normal posts so that they don't have deliver them since they don't bring in a lot of revenue (cheapest option out of the three). Also, the problem is not just with me sending normal posts to people. I have not received any of the letters that my friends have sent to me via normal post either. There are three letters that I'm still waiting to receive and it's been almost 2 years since they posted them. Have you ever faced the same problem? P.S. does anyone want to be pen pals?

Some of the recommendations we had made during the consultations were reflected in the final report, albeit with certain modifications. ### Background Last year in August, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) released a [Consultation Paper on Roadmap to Promote Broadband Connectivity and Enhanced Broadband Speed](https://trai.gov.in/consultation-paper-roadmap-promote-broadband-connectivity-and-enhanced-broadband-speed), addressing issues such as the definition of ‘Broadband’ and promoting broadband connectivity through innovative technologies. On October 19th, 2020, we submitted our [comments on the consultation paper](https://internetfreedom.in/read-iffs-comments-on-trais-consultation-paper-on-broadband-access-and-connectivity/). Our submissions were centred around 2 main issues: 1. Updating the current definition of broadband: The existing definition of ‘broadband’ is inadequate and may need revision to account for download and upload speeds. This would help overcome any attempts by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to reduce access to the internet by restricting and throttling upload speeds and help bring about a fuller advancement of user rights. Thus, we had suggested that ‘broadband’ be defined as: Broadband is a data connection that is able to support interactive services including Internet access and has the capability of providing download and upload speeds which fall into one of the four categories mentioned herein to an individual subscriber from the point of presence (POP) of the service provider intending to provide Broadband service. The four categories of broadband speed are: 1. *Normal* - 512 KBp/s to 2 MBp/s download speed , 256 KBp/s to 1 MBp/s upload speed; 2. *Good* - 2 MBp/s to 20 MBp/s download speed , 1 MBp/s to 10 MBp/s upload speed 3. *Fast* - 20 MBp/s to 50 MBp/s download speed , 10 MBp/s to 25 MBp/s upload speed 4. *Superfast* - 50 MBp/s download speed and above, 25 MBp/s upload speed and above 2. Developing digital infrastructure: Alongside policy level changes, there is a need to develop digital infrastructure in a manner in which constant updation and revolutionsing is possible. Thus, we had submitted the ‘Dig Smart' model of public-private partnerships for creating broadband infrastructure, wherein the government would install the conduits wherever there was a need for public works network construction and subsequently lease out the conduits to broadband service providers. ### Supplementary consultation on policy issues with connectivity released Subsequently, on 19th May, 2021,[ TRAI released a Supplementary Consultation Paper on Roadmap to Promote Broadband Connectivity and Enhanced Broadband Speed](https://www.trai.gov.in/sites/default/files/CP_19052021.pdf), which looked at certain policy and revenue side issues with expanding connectivity. On 13th June, [we submitted our comments](https://internetfreedom.in/on-the-need-for-citizen-oriented-growth-in-the-telecom-sector/) on the supplementary paper. The core focus of our submission was to ensure that broadband infrastructure caters not only to needs based on connectivity and geography but also serves to alleviate sections of the society who have traditionally not been able to enjoy the benefits of access to the internet, for which had the following suggestions: 1. Issues with indirect incentives and the misappropriation of revenue: Providing indirect incentives to the licensees can lead to several issues, misappropriation of revenues being the most prominent among them. Indirect incentives fail to guarantee that ISPs would invest the increased monies into expanding the user base, especially in rural and far flung areas. This is because indirect incentives provide licensees with significant amounts of discretionary power, as the very nature of indirect incentives allows licenses to choose how to deploy increased resources (for example, ISPs may choose to use these funds for debt servicing rather than to expand their user base). 2. The need for direct performance linked incentives: Direct performance linked incentives may be a more effective incentive mechanism. There is evidence based merit in opting for post facto incentives based on the growth of the user base as the indisputable metric to determine the benefits of direct benefits. Direct incentives provide a concrete pathway towards increasing the user base. 3. Key problems with public wifi networks: Public Wi-Fis are known to be susceptible to attacks and breaches, especially in the absence of data protection norms. The security architecture used in public Wi-Fis may often not possess sufficient security standards, and so may leak data. We also highlighted that in the installation of small cell wifi infrastructure public sector enterprises must be deployed since offering affordable rates may not always be viable for the private sector. 4. Subsidies over Direct benefit transfers(DBT): There are several structural issues with direct benefit transfers including lack of infrastructure, difficulties in identifying beneficiaries, influence of local power brokers over DBT deliveries, withdrawal of state services, and economic factors. We recommended that direct subsidies be provided that would involve subsiding the monthly packs purchased by subscribers, along with accompanying subsidies for installation charges incurred. So now, after having conducted multiple consultations and received stakeholder feedback, what are the TRAI’s final recommendations for increasing internet connectivity and broadband access? ### Did they listen to us? On 31st August, 2021, TRAI finalised its recommendations on the [Roadmap to Promote Broadband Connectivity and Enhanced Broadband Speed](https://www.trai.gov.in/sites/default/files/Recommendations_31082021_0.pdf). The recommendations were a mixed bag; some of our recommendations were accepted, but not necessarily in their entirety. The first key recommendation was the definition of broadband; TRAI accepted a revised definition of broadband, and even prescribed a high minimum threshold for broadband speed: >“Broadband is a data connection that is able to support interactive services including Internet access and has the capability of the minimum download speed of 2 Mbps to an individual subscriber from the point of presence (POP) of the service provider intending to provide Broadband service.” Additionally, though the TRAI did increase the minimum download speed required for a broadband connection, they did not accept our inclusion of upload speed as a criterion for determining the type of broadband service. The three basic categories on the basis of download speed thus are: 1. Basic Broadband: 2 Mbps to 50 Mbps to an individual subscriber. 2. Fast Broadband: 50 Mbps to 300 Mbps to an individual subscriber. 3. Super-fast Broadband: More than 300 Mbps to an individual subscriber. Another key recommendation that was accepted was our suggestion about the adoption of a ‘dig smart’ policy. The TRAI recommended that: >“To implement dig once policy and avoid frequent interruptions in services due to accidental damages of underground infrastructure, each utility provider should communicate its digging plans in an area to other utility providers operating in that area before submitting application for \[Right of Way\] permission to the appropriate authority. This would enable cross-sector collaboration for co-deployment of telegraph lines; and while the digging operations are in progress utility providers could protect their underground infrastructure also.” To support the implementation this policy, TRAI also recommended the that the [Indian Telegraph Right of Way Rules, 2016](https://dot.gov.in/sites/default/files/2016_11_18%20RoW%20Policy.pdf) be amended to include a provision that allows for the establishment of a National Right of Way portal within one year that would allow collaboration across different sectors and different tiers of government so that comprehensive telecom infrastructure development plans can be developed. ### Policy recommendations for connectivity Our suggestion with regards to the development of small cell infrastructure by public sector entities was also accepted in part. As we had argued, a key goal of connectivity infrastructure projects is to increase the reach of digital networks to those who are sans internet. Thus, it is crucial that not only is high speed internet connectivity provided, but also that it is done so at low rates, which may not always be possible with the private sector. TRAI acknowledged some of these concerns and recommended that a central entity named ‘Common Ducts and Posts Development Agency’ (CDPDA) be set up for the planning and development of common ducts and posts infrastructure across the country. One of the functions of the CDPDA would be: >“Planning, development, and management of sharable common posts for laying overground aerial optical fiber cables and hosting of small cells equipments” However, this agency would not be the exclusive entity that would develop common ducts and small cell infrastructure: >“If simultaneously private entities develop interest in establishment of common ducts \[then\] such entities should also be permitted after necessary registration.” Lastly, our suggestion on the need for direct incentives for ISPs in the form of a subscriber based subsidy was partially accepted; TRAI recommended that for ISPs to avail incentives they would need to demonstrate: * A 15% increase in working fixed-line broadband subscribers year-on-year. * 20% of the above increase must be from rural areas (for which rural areas of the Delhi, Mumbai, or Kolkata service areas would not be counted). * For all india ISPs, an additional 10% increase in connections year-on-year in each of [demarcated service areas](https://dot.gov.in/sites/default/files/Unified%20Licence_0.pdf#page=166). * For all india ISPs, 20% of the above increase must be from rural areas (for which rural areas of the Delhi, Mumbai, or Kolkata service areas would not be counted). These incentives, however, would be given not as subsidies but as license fee exemptions. ### The path forward Even though all of our recommendations were not accepted, we thank TRAI for incorporating some of them. We now urge the Department of Telecommunications to operationalise these recommendations, so that we can ensure that the benefits of high speed broadband are made available to all Indians. ### Important documents 1.

I recently had a discussion with my BF of 6 years that left me very concerned. Our marriage discussion was brought up and I told him I was not comfortable with the concept of dowry as it feels like the bride is being given away in a business transaction. His take on the whole thing was that the given dowry would help his parents with the wedding arrangements and also with their retirement. To give a little background, he comes from a lower middle class family and he has a little sister to be married after him. I was raised by a single mom and we are relatively well off because she is an educated woman with a big job. I earn 4x more than my BF. I am comfortable with a small wedding without burdening any side of the family. I also suggested we pay for the wedding ourselves. I am also comfortable helping his family with anything as it will become my family after the marriage. The only thing I am not comfortable with is giving dowry at the time of marriage. I am not able to make him understand this. What can I do? Or am I being ridiculous in my request? Ps: ignore formatting as I am typing this from mobile.
Got their info from our official college weekly emails. They claim to send students from India to a fully paid NASA space camp trip. But I can't find any proof for that, no social media presence, shady website etc etc. Has anyone participated this time or in past in the scholarship tests?

I am not a native Punjabi speaker, can understand few words here and there. I listened to Void from Diljit's album Moonchild Era few hours back, and am so hooked. It sounds painful, and somehow I can relate to the song. I want to know what the entire song means, and have been searching for its translation, but couldn't find any. If any Punjabi speaker could translate the entire song for me (or, if you could find it on Google), I would be super thankful to you. Thanks!

India's imports as a percentage of GDP Year \| Imports-to-GDP Ratio ---\|--- 2013 \| 28.41% 2019 \| 20.96% 2020 \| 18.39% Is this good news? No, it's terrible news. Why? Because it's achieved through Modi's policies of import substitution (i.e. using Nehruvian Economics - increasing Custom Duties to decrease imports) How does it matter how it's achieved as long as it's reduced, right? If that's true, then we were doing fabulously till 1991 - when imports were just 8.49% of our GDP. Our imports never crossed 10% of GDP ever in the pre-Manmohan Singh era (pre-1991). Modi is taking us back to our pre-1991 years of very low imports & exports. --- Why is it bad to reduce imports based on import substitution rather than on actually improving the country? Because it's not an isolated system - policies have 2nd & 3rd order effects - most of these effects which India knew about very well about in it's protectionist years till 1991. Let's see a very important effect of decreasing imports through protectionism & increasing customs duty. India's exports as percentage of GDP has also decreased from 25.43% to 18.08% in the Modi years. India's Imports & Exports as a percentage of the GDP Type \| 1991 \| 2013 \| 2019 \| 2020 ---\|---\|----\|----\|---- Imports \| 8.49% \| 28.41% \| 20.96% \| 18.39% Exports \| 8.49% \| 25.43% \| 18.43% \| 18.08% As we see in the table above, when Imports are reduced by artificially strangling them with protectionist policies which aim to protect local inefficiencies, our exports also go down. And this is not a surprise, we have seen it through India's history till 1991. --- In 7 years, Modji has raised import duty & tariffs on practically everything - this is what lead to decrease in imports - imports didn't decrease because our products became better or cheap. It decreased because our products became "cheaper" than foreign products because of protectionism - ergo our locals can be inefficient, moe wasteful & still be market winners - but this makes them worse off to compete in the international market & we do see that. It's the same thing which happened till 1991. Since 2014, India has been very reluctant about Free Trade Agreements, even those they signed they have signed very reluctantly. On the other hand, Vietnam over this same period has embraced every FTA they could find. This is an excellent 2018 article on Vietnam - https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/09/how-vietnam-became-an-economic-miracle/ > It wasn’t always thus. A mere 30 years ago, Vietnam was one of the poorest in the world. How did this southeast Asian nation grow to become a middle-income country? > Growth under the Vietnames government’s subsequent five-year central plans was anaemic. By the mid-1980s, per capita GDP was stuck between $200 and $300. > It has embraced trade liberalization with gusto. The analysts point to the various free trade agreements Viet Nam has signed in the last 20 years. The cumulative effect of all these agreements was to gradually lower the tariffs imposed on both imports and exports to and from Viet Nam. Vietnam exported 0.9 Billion$ of mobile phones in 2009. In 2020, they exported 31.2 Billion$ of mobile phones - as compared to 3 Billion$ for India. A small country, Vietnam, exports 10 times as much mobile phones as India. Vietnam exported 122 Billion $ of electronic goods as compared to 12.8 Billion $ by India. Vietnam's total Electronic Goods exports are 10 times as much as India's. Their imports have also increased but does it matter - the country is prospering unlike us. They are the new Asian Tiger. Anyone who wants to move out of China, their #1 choice is Vietnam. India was also on the same path from 1991 on - transforming from one of the poorest countries. But Modiji has put a brake on it & is taking us back. --- Reposting some data I had covered in an earlier post many months back about India's abysmally bad export performance under Modiji. This is how India's exports performed under different terms - Exports grew at an average of 17.92% each year during UPA - Exports grew at an average of 1.89% each year during Modiji Term \| Average Yearly Growth Rate ---\|--- UPA1 \| 26.04% UPA2 \| 10.32% Combined UPA \| 17.92% Modiji \| 1.89% World Export Growth crashed during both UPA2 & Modiji's term. But as a developing country/emerging economy, we were never competing with the world export figures. As an emerging economy we were expected to do much better than the world exports (developed nations & also very backward nations don't have much growth so they always pull the world figures down). For e.g. in UPA2 also world exports growth rate had gone down from earlier highs. But even during UPA2, India's CAGR growth rate was nearly 3x times of World Exports CAGR. Now, under Modiji our CAGR is not even 2x of World Exports CAGR. Several countries with Good Governance are performing far better in exports than both India & the World. Country \| CAGR \| Cumulative ---\|---\|---- Modiji \| 1.89% \| 11.88% Burma^[1] \| 14.36% \| 95.6% Ireland \| 12.18% \| 99.31% Vietnam \| 11.81% \| 95.35% Cambodia \| 8.6% \| 74.2% Bangladesh \|7.95% \| 58.21% Phillipines \| 6.23% \| 30.40% Sri Lanka \| 4.29% \| 28.64% [1] Only 5 years data is available for Burma as compared 6 for other countries Atmanirbhar Bharat through Nehruvian Protectionism & Tariffs is taking us back to 1991 ------------------------ Sources - https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.IMP.GNFS.ZS - https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.EXP.GNFS.ZS - https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/IND/india/exports
Okay first of all, Im a fan of Indian Temple architecture. Secondly PraveenMohan's YouTube videos continues to blow my f***in mind. His videos on the ancient tech, architecture, religion, and lost knowledge, sparks the imagination and only leaves more questions. Sound energy(?), flying machines(?), medicine, math, geometry, astrology. Etc etc I find myself watching these videos in amazement and at the same time with a heavy and saddened heart that the knowledge was seemingly lost, destroyed and stolen. By us westerners and other cultures.. So I'm asking India what other well recommended books, videos, etc could I learn more and better understand the ancient ancestors, culture, and religion? Thanks guys!
We got this very experimental idea of creating an Indian neutral language that can connect Indians from all corners of the subcontinent. But, we won't just 'create' it... We'll evolve it. The language is called Sumoli and I've created a discord server for speakers of various Indian languages to communicate and agree upon words and grammar rules. Our method is to lay out an essential vocabulary, use that to point at pictures and gifs, and then associate words with those images i.e. When a person doesn't know the Sumoli word for something, they can just paste a picture from the internet and derive a word for it, as long as it's based on an Indian language. [https://discord.gg/YWmUwHJWaY](https://discord.gg/YWmUwHJWaY) The plan is to invite people who speak Indian languages and language experts to communicate in various languages until a common tongue or a pigdin evolves. The Sumoli experiment has been going on for a few days and we have already agreed upon certain vocabulary and grammar. This is still in it's early stage and it would wonderful if more people participated. Thank you!

Considering that my monthly salary would be around 50k, how should I plan my finances, how are the living expenses, rent, transportation and leisure gonna cost me? Also, I also plan to travel at least twice a month to nearby hill stations, beaches or even road trips to Bombay, taking full advantage of the city's amazing location. So I might need to factor in that cost as well.
I just prefer a decent job with well decent pay and with reasonable working hours.. It's sucks to be torn between two ...I having existential crisis on choosing between the two. Any help is appreciated. my_qualifications- 68% in X broads 67% in XII broads
My dad has been using his Mi Max (bought in 2016) for a long time and while it was working okay, the display broke last week. I will be getting him a new one. He uses his phone for youtube, reading newspaper online, internet browsing, calls (usage priority in the same order). So features desired are Screen, Battery, Speaker, etc He'll probably use this for 3-4 years to come. Need some help in shortlisting a model. Budget is around 15k Brands preferred are Redmi/Realme. Which phone would you guys recommend?
To begin the post, obviously this is a throwaway account to keep the creeps at bay. So don't mind me there. I am a rather elder lady, 41 to be precise and I have been married for 15 years. It's been pleasant so far and we are happy with each other but of late things are rough. To give a bit of background, I was carrying a lot of post pregnancy fat untill last year and I never paid much attention to my health. But, I decided to change it and I got quite lean thereafter. So with this new change over I started trying new fashion accessories and felt more in touch with my beauty. Untill last night, my husband snapped at me and seemed upset with the way I dressed of late. As expected, he found myself to be too revealing, even when I wear my regular saree. And, I kind of get him, I was shy because of my overweight self before and I took extra measures to not appear fat, which was uncomfortable for myself too. But, now that I am fitter I have avoided doing that. I no longer wear baggy sarees and I have started wearing jeans and stuff too. All of this is new to me. I don't know how to handle this. I have never thought this would go this way. I wanted to post it here because you all would be familiar with the indian context as opposed to most of reddit. So please help me out with what I can do? Rather silly, but been messing with me.
This is something I have been trying for some time. I wanted to know what was the process other folks used to get themselves a job abroad.

Hello, I am from the United States and have tried to make butter chicken from recipes online, but none of them taste as good as my local Indian take-out place. Does anybody have a traditional authentic recipe they can share?
So, I'm currently a 6th sem student in a good tier 2 college. I got internship in a PBC during the internship drive. Stipend was around 50k. I recently got PPO from the same company but with a low ball offer ( 15 lpa with 12 base ) . Now I'm not allowed to sit for placement. Initially I was quite satisfied with the offer but now that placement have started, I realised that the competition is super low now as most cream got selected during the internship drive and have a PPO. So, average ass students are getting 25+ CTC offers. Even students who never cleared OA during internship drive are getting 20+ LPA offers. I feel cheated and my self esteem is falling. Thinking about trying off campus. Sorry for the rant.
i want to buy my parents these bands but have no idea what for look for in it, what parameters should the band scan or what things i need to consider, please enlighten me on the issue if you know. Edit: looking for something under 10,000
My brother (19 yo) recently gave NEET and hopes to score about 400 marks +-10 marks. My parents and I have been searching for colleges around country that fall well within our spending capacity as well. Need suggestions for Colleges that he could get into with those marks. Thanks.
Not for kids but in general, names that connote or suggest bad sentiments or bad behaviour. (not like Ravan, but actual names people might use...unless they use ravan, in which case I'm sorry) I feel like I have to specify I am asking for hindi meanings when I say negative meanings. Not gopi sounds like go pee. Historically works too such as Gangu being the man who betrayed Guruji, surrendered his mother and children to Aurangzeb. Things like that work too
Hi everyone, first post on this subreddit. My private colleges opening but there are still many cases in Tamilnadu that have resulted after commencement of offline classes. I would like to know no that attending these colleges who are not having students at their full capacity is a good choice or not? Also my college has just stated that all the exams are offline but has not stated when it would be mandatory for students to come to campus they have said that virtual classes m@y commence but I am in my final year and I only have 3 exams to attend to is it worth it?
Hello peeps. I am a 10th grade student and I wanted to ask if I can take CS along with PCB. I have decided to take biotechnology as my career option. During the lockdown, I decided to take up python as a hobby and I soon developed an interest in it. I am on my way to learn more languages and plan on also learning ethical hacking as my friend gave me a trial of one of his ethical hacking courses he is learning thru his account and I found it super interesting. Also, can you guys also suggest which colleges are best for biotechnology, both indian and overseas and which exams do I need to apply for in Biotechnology. Thank you for taking time and answering my question 🙂🙂

So, I noticed when I am downloading a file in Airtel its speed is stuck at 70KB/s but as soon as I run a speed test its jumping speed upto 400-500KB/s does Airtel know I am running a speed test and jumps the speed? Can you all check and confirm.

I am at a crossroads in my career after graduation I have to make this decision should I seek job and learn on my own or get this damn MCA and waste another 2 years of my life in this good for nothing shitty education system that doesn't help you become skill ready employable human being.
I went to Amazon and looked products from different categories like clothing, furniture, gadgets etc. Everyone there is cheaper than what we pay in India, why so? Let me explain, I saw good quality tshirts under $10, if you directly convert it in ₹ @73 you would feel we can also get good quality tshirts under ₹730 but $10 to Americans is how ₹100 or ₹200 to an Indians (Google about PPP - Purchasing Power Parity to learn more about this) Another example, I saw decent laptops under $500 and $500 to an American is comparable to ₹5000-₹10000 to an Indian. There's no way you could get laptops for so cheap in India. That exact same model would cost north of 40k easily in India. In India most salaried folks may have to shell entire month's salary to buy a decent laptop where $500 is not that big of a deal in US, getting my point? What am trying to understand is why everything is so cheap in US? From clothing to furniture, literally everything, can someone please explain?
Hey guys, I'm a final year college student(22 M, Hyderabad). I have never gone on a proper trip and want to go on a big one. Could you describe your best/favorite trip till date and detail stuff like where you went, what you did, what you liked about the place and things to watch out for. I just want few suggestions so I can have a good idea of where to go. Thanks! EDIT: In India!
I have mostly given up now. We are a middle class family and can't afford to go around to every single doctor. I even went to fortis mohali but the doctors didn't even listen to me. They just have me steroids and that's all. So I turn to you guys for help. I am extremely frustrated and defeated. I just want it to end already. Pain 24/7. Travelling is difficult for me and my family right now. My condition is also deteriorating. If I don't get treatment soon I might end up with surgery. Can anyone suggest a good gastro? Especially someone who is proficient in treating ibd. If he can tele consult that would be great as we are not able to go out of state right now. I have already done all the tests humanly possible and Crohn's disease is confirmed. I just need to get in touch with a good doctor for treatment, which seems to be impossible as I have been trying for over 2 years. I have heard about Ajit Sood but unfortunately he does not teleconsult. It's also not possible to go to cmc vellore or aiims or pgi. My family right now is not in a condition to travel. I am in constant pain and can't even relax let alone study. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could recommend some good gastroenterologists who can consult me via call. I don't know how long I can hold on anymore. Edit: I suppose this shows how rare this disease is in India. Literally everyone is saying ibd whereas I have IBD. They are worlds apart. IBD will kill you whereas IBS won't. It seems like you need to be extremely lucky to find a doctor who actually listens to you. Most people seem to get so bad that they need surgery. I know surgery is a guarantee. But I want to at least try everything else before that. Not doing so would be idiotic. Well let's see how things go. Again I have IBD and not IBS.
Hello to everyone. Yesterday I had discussion with my friend that on housewarming of his new house he was expecting air conditioner as gift from his wife's parents. He and his wife both are from middle class family. He started by saying that his mom has denied to take the expensive gift from his wife parents when his wife told them that her brother or someone from there home phoned her and asking for ac model. Further my friend told me that they will deny only once and if they sill want to give them they will accept the air conditioner to keep their Maan. My friend wife's family asking her daughter to suggest air conditioner model around 40 to 50k and then his wife conveyed this message to my friend family on which his mother declined to his wife not to her parents. Few months back when my friend's house was under construction he was telling me that he was expecting air conditioner as gift from his wife family and his maasi family(massi family is rich and had given him Tvs duet on his marriage) as a tradition. I also think his wife doesn't have any problem and maybe even supporting his views(my thought only). So from this conversation that I had few months back I think the air conditioner as a gift came into play. I told him that this is wrong and why you are not denying strictly that we don't want this type of expensive gift from them. But instead he argued to me that its not dowry. The gift they want to give is from there wish and also they denied once and even if they want to give why would they deny. I told my friend even if you are not asking or forcing but accepting this kind of expensive gift is not right. I talked even further by explaining him that nowadays the society is structured in such a way and there mental development is of now accepting expensive gifts rather than demanding or forcing bride family. Then he told me that his family never demanded anything on there marriage and he didn't get anything. Then I told him dowry as gift is not given in cheque ,it will be in some other form. Then he told me that his wife's family has given him bed and dressing furniture only ,so that's not expensive. He even told me its your perspective and your views and in my eyes there is no wrong if someone giving gifts from there will even if its expensive. In the whole discussion my main concern was that my friend didn't even once told me that he doesn't support this and why only bride family have this type of obligation. I want to know other people views on this because in my view this is not quite right to give indirect burden to others. I have seen first time that in housewarming this expensive gifts are expected from brides family. See I am not against gifts ,people give gifts to express their love ,gratitude etc. But here in India we have twisted this like any other thing. Edit post: I don’t know why this post is getting downvotes.I hope to get more views about this terrible gift culture in our society.
So my friend's check is stuck because of the new Positive Pay System of SBI Bank. Now the issue is that he doesn't have net banking enabled, nor has YONO apps. He tried registering for the YONO app but it's failing for some weird reason. Tomorrow is the date for the check payment. Is there a way that one can get the check cleared from the bank branch? Is net banking or YONO app mandatory for check clearing?

I wasted 11th in online classes. I have 4 months more before I write JEE 2022 and I am crying in the corner of my room not knowing shit and what to do. If I don’t make it into IIT my parents will be disappointed in me, and they always worry about what others think if I don’t make it. Please help me out PS - I don’t know if this matters but I have ADHD and am always distracted and find it hard to follow strict schedules but can follow repetitive schedules.
I was watching the IPL coverage in Hotstar's app, my commentary language was set to English (I understand Hindi well, but I just think the quality of commentary is way better in English) but was surprised to find out some Hindi bits mixed in the program (particularly there was a segment of Dream11 Fantasy picks) What do you people think in general of these kinds of practices? Does it bother you or are you fine with it? Also, what do you guys think about the English commentary stream having ads in Hindi? Do you want your ads also in English?
https://www.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/ঢাকায়-পাকিস্তানি-অপতৎপরতা If you can read Bangla, you will see: This article here describes how Pakistan's ISI is conducting an influence and propaganda operation in Bangladesh, this has resulted in instability in Bangladesh. They are also coordinating with Hefazat an Islamist organisation that the government started clamp down after they created a havoc during Modi's arrival in Bangladesh. More things are there about Pakistan influencing social media through international click firms. My question to you all is, how is it impacting India? Since, you know, Pakistan and India are not in the best of terms much like Bangladesh and Pakistan relations. Edit: if you can't read the article https://imgur.com/a/WR0vZD8 And indian newspaper using that article as the source https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/pakistans-dhaka-mission-running-smear-campaign-through-social-media-bangladesh-largest-selling-daily/articleshow/86335887.cms
At the time when countries like US, Taiwan, Japan and China are leading in fields such as AI, Cloud, Manufacturing, Semiconductors, Automation(Robots, Self-driving cars) & other futuristic stuff, Our most valued startup is a company that is trying to privatize a basic human right ? All these "We will teach your sperm coding and get him/her a job at FAANG" startups are basically teaching kids to code so that in future they'll probably join a company that teaches their sperms how to code. "Ed-tech" startups are what we are best at? While china is cracking down on these companies so that the underprivileged/privileged have an equal shot at their entrance exams, we are encouraging it? Sure many people hate their school and want more personal tutoring where these startups come in, but, Does this make it worth $16.5 billion? In the age of internet where basically u can get all the information at fingertips we are betting on Ed-tech startups? Let me be clear, I love platforms like coursera, upgrad, skillshare..etc, these ed-tech platforms provide skills which you can use to boost your career not charging for an exam prep. Exams were created with the intention of making the admission process more fair and standardized. Don't get me starting with these "Self-help" startups but thats a story for another day
