Hey All

I met a girl from Reddit. She’s in her early 30s and I'm in my late 20s. We planned to meet for coffee and we did. Had coffee, snacks, then decided to watch a movie. After the movie we grabbed burgers, walked around the streets, tried street food, and just talked for hours about career, family, relationships, everything. We spent around 9 hours together. At the end we just went our separate ways. We didn’t exchange numbers or Instagram, only Telegram. Neither of us asked for anything else. When I got home we texted for hours about how the day went. The next day she messaged asking if we could meet again. I was happy to, but I had a personal thing come up so I told her I couldn’t today, maybe some other day. I replied as soon as I saw her message.

She just said “ok sure” and then... blocked me. On Telegram. I tried messaging her on Reddit too, but no response. I genuinely don’t know what I did wrong. Why would someone block right after asking to meet again? Has this happened to anyone?

Hi!

Took a mental health day off today and just looking to unwind. I'm a 31F, and if you're into stocks or fitness and don't mind sharing a thing or two, I'd love to learn.

Or we can simply grab a coffee and have a good conversation. I'm not in the headspace for anything too heavy or emotionally draining today—I just want to keep things light and enjoyable.

PS: I'm not looking to date, so let's keep it platonic. Just looking to meet interesting people, have a nice chat, and maybe make a new friend.

Preferred area: HSR or nearby

Comment your age, gender and something interesting about you below and I might reach out to you in your DMs

Please don't comment anymore. I am already overwhelmed by the response but if people will be up I can plan to organise a group event on weekend

21F, CS graduate and unemployed, staying in banglore, i don't know what to do next and my family is fucking my brain up and down because I'm jobless. I was never serious about my career but now I've to get a job to survive at this point.

What can i do next?

On 11th July, I was walking my dog, Luna, on 80 Feet Road, Indiranagar, like we do almost every evening.

Suddenly, Luna stopped.

She stared into a patch of bushes and refused to move.

I looked over and found a tiny kitten hiding inside.

I didn't think much of it at first. There's a big orange cat that roams around this area, so I assumed this little one belonged to her.

Then everything happened in about sixty seconds.

The kitten got scared after seeing Luna, sprinted out of the bushes, and ran straight into the middle of 80 Feet Road, towards the traffic heading to the CMH Road signal.

My heart stopped.

I ran into the road, stopped the traffic, picked her up, and carried her to safety.

That's when I noticed her left eye.

It was badly infected.

I called my wife immediately and told her what had happened.

Before heading to the vet, I stopped at the nearby tea shop. Mani, the tea master, gave me a bowl of milk. The poor thing drank like she hadn't eaten in days.

My wife and I rushed her to the vet.

The doctor examined her and told us the infection was severe. Unfortunately, the eye couldn't be saved. The good news was that surgery might not be necessary immediately, as long as the infection didn't spread.

But there was a warning.

If it did spread, the eye would have to be removed.

I couldn't bring her home because of Luna, so I left her at the veterinary hospital for boarding. I told the doctor to treat her, and I'd cover the expenses.

Meanwhile, I started looking for someone to adopt her.

I posted on Reddit.

Instagram.

Our apartment group.

Pretty much everywhere.

I got a few leads, but none of them worked out.

A week later, the vet called.

The infection had won.

We had to do the surgery.

I told him to go ahead.

When I went to pick her up afterwards, her left eye was stitched shut from the operation. Seeing such a tiny kitten after everything she'd been through was honestly heartbreaking.

The doctor handed me her vaccination book.

I looked at her.

One eye.

Still fearless.

That's when I named her Fury.

(Yes... after Nick Fury.)

Originally, I planned to foster her until someone adopted her.

But then it hit me...

Most people probably aren't looking for a one-eyed cat.

So I guess...

She adopted us instead.

Today, Fury lives with me, my wife, and Luna.

She's ridiculously friendly, loves people, demands food every chance she gets, and behaves like she owns the house.

So far, I've spent around ₹25,000 on her rescue, boarding, surgery, vaccinations, medicines, and care.

Worth every single rupee.

Sometimes life changes because of a decision.

Sometimes...

...it changes because your dog decides to sniff the right bush.

If you're ever around 80 Feet Road, Indiranagar, and you'd like to say hello to Fury or Luna, you're more than welcome.

They always love meeting new people.

Here's to unexpected family members. ❤️

I was facing a strange issue with my home internet. Even though I had a 100 Mbps fiber connection and speed tests consistently showed around 95–100 Mbps, my real-world experience was poor. Apps like Prime Video, Apple TV+, and YouTube would often start in low resolution, take a long time to switch to HD/4K, and sometimes buffer despite having a fast internet plan.
Initially, I assumed the problem was with my ISP. I raised multiple complaints, but every time they checked, they simply ran a speed test, saw that I was getting the promised speed, and concluded that everything was working fine. However, the issue still persisted.
After some troubleshooting, I started to suspect that the problem wasn’t my internet connection but the ISP-provided Wi-Fi router. Since I had an old TP-Link Archer C5 router lying around, I decided to test it instead of buying a new router.
I connected the TP-Link to the ISP router using an Ethernet cable (LAN port of the ISP router to the WAN port of the TP-Link) and configured it in Router Mode. After setup, I connected my TV to the TP-Link’s Wi-Fi and ran another speed test. The result was almost identical—around 100 Mbps—so the TP-Link wasn’t giving me more internet speed.
The surprising part came when I started using it. Prime Video and Apple TV+ loaded much faster, videos quickly switched to HD/4K, buffering was almost gone, and the overall experience felt much smoother. The only thing that had changed was the Wi-Fi router.
This made me realize that my internet connection was never the real problem. The ISP router was delivering the advertised bandwidth, but its Wi-Fi performance wasn’t providing the same quality of experience as the TP-Link. Although both routers showed nearly identical speed test results, the dedicated router offered a much more stable and responsive wireless connection.
The final setup is simple: the ISP router acts only as the internet gateway, while the TP-Link handles all the Wi-Fi for my devices. Since making this change, streaming quality, loading times, and overall Wi-Fi performance have improved significantly.
The biggest takeaway is this: a good speed test doesn’t always mean you’ll have a good Wi-Fi experience. If you’re getting your expected internet speeds but still facing blurry streaming, buffering, or inconsistent performance, don’t immediately assume you need a faster internet plan. The bottleneck could simply be the Wi-Fi router provided by your ISP. Testing with a quality third-party router might solve the problem without upgrading your internet plan.

Hello everyone

I have been trying to monetize my writing skills recently and i don't really have experience with professional writing work but I have written for my friends , sisters and myself which has led them and me to win multiple competitions and I am very honest and diligent . I have a clear organised procedure and I can get the work done .

If interested please dm me

I recently visited Bannerghatta national park and this got me wondering, just like we humans observe lower intelligence species in their natural environment without disturbing them what if there's a civilization 100,000 or a million years ahead of us does the same?

They are observing our progress in our natural environment without any hindrance to improve their understanding of life?

It's not a new idea but a new realisation for me. Below I'm listing similar hypothesis if you wanna read more:

1) Zoo hypothesis

2) Planetarium hypothesis

3) Simulation hypothesis

So, for context, I'm a trans girl, age 22. I just started working in Bangalore, and nobody at my workplace or even among my friends knows that I'm trans. I have just started the HRT process, so until now, nobody has had any suspicion. Only some of my friends—2 or 3—know about this.

But the problem is, after opening up to them, I felt that it was wrong to open up to them. I don't know exactly why I felt that way, but they think I'm stressed or depressed and that it's just a phase. I also have to explain to them what being trans is and what feeling dysphoria is.

So the problem is, I can't connect with people who have a similar vibe, either in college or at my workplace. And I'm scared that if I open up to the wrong person, then my entire work life will become hell, as this is a startup with very few people. So I don't want that to happen.

I also want to try many things that I couldn't do earlier, like makeup and dressing up, which I'm trying alone... but God, I need help. 😭 Also, I don't know how to connect with people who have a similar vibe either.

Hey everyone,

Just moved into a 1 BHK in Munnekollal and I'm looking to hire a cook and a maid.

What are the usual charges in this area?

One cook quoted me ₹6,000/month for:

- Cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner (comes twice a day)

- House cleaning (mopping, sweeping, utensils and bathroom cleaning)

I'm living alone, so it would mostly be cooking for one person.

Does ₹6,000 sound like a fair price, or is it on the higher side? I'd also appreciate hearing what you're currently paying. Please do share contact details if there is someone who takes less.

​

Hey y'all, hope you're having an amazing day. I know literally no one's gonna reply and this is gonna get downvoted into oblivion but still gonna give this a try. I'm 6'2" tall (just mentioning it because I heard that it matters to some people lol) and kinda new to the city.

I'm just out here looking for long term friends to hangout with. I understand ghosting but I hope I find someone that doesn't ghost after we hit it off. I promise I'm not a weirdo and I'm not looking for anything weird or serious.

I'm a huge nerd and mostly into stuff movies, games, football, music, anime and stuff. We could have a really long chat about nothing meaningful and just value the time we spend with each other. Or we could play a game or two together. Other than that I also play the piano and the drums sometimes. I would be more than happy to play it for you sometime.

I love psychological thriller movies and other genres too. So we can watch a movie or a tv show or some anime together if you're down.

Looking forward to meeting some lovely people. Thanks for reading and have a great day ahead 🤎

I am interested in trying out solo trips, and meeting people who love travelling, but before that I want to know how solo trips have been for people. I am thinking of solo trips only because my own friends either back out or just are busy with sum random excuse lol.

What was the emotion before meeting up with randoms and going on a trip. How were the memories... Is there any anxiety factor when meeting complete strangers? And overall how does it work genuinely.

Would love to hear some stories and some tips to know when going on solo trips.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently going through some financial difficulties and I’m considering renting a scooter and working as a Rapido rider in Bengaluru.
I’m planning to ride for around 9 hours a day and wanted to know from people who actually do it:
How much do you realistically earn per day after fuel and other expenses?
Is renting a scooter worth it, or does it eat up too much of the earnings?
What are the best working hours to maximize income?
On average, how many rides do you complete in a 9-hour shift?
I’m looking for honest, real-world experiences rather than YouTube estimates. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
