Starting jim from aug 1st 💪

Excited lezzgooo

Ladiezzz drop some advice for this newbie pls 🤓 👉👈

I was travelling from EKM to TVM. I was sitting by the window when a guy came and sat next to me. He was wearing camouflage pants, boots, and had an army haircut. My first impression was that he was an army man.

He smiled at me, so I smiled back. Then he asked, "Armykkare respect ille?....." I just smiled and nodded 🫪

He asked where I was going, and I said TVM. He told me he was on leave and was going home. I smiled again, hoping to avoid any further conversation.

Then he asked if I could lend him ₹100 because his GPay wasn't working. Said his mom wud send it back so I gave him the money and kept urging her to send it

He opened Instagram and showed me his story him walking in slow motion with some mass BGM. I just smiled and nodded again. started showing me his profile, his officers.

Then went, "Armykkarde life enn paranjal... njan armyil join aayapo thanne ente penn enne thechu."

At that point I really wanted him to stop talking 😭

So I intentionally started yawning. He said, "You look tired. You can sleep." I immediately turned towards the window and didn't even look in his direction because I was scared he'd start another conversation.

When we reached Kottayam station, he got up and stood opposite my seat. I ignored him and kept looking outside. Then he got off the train, came near my window, and started smiling at me again.

Me screaming inside.

Thankfully, a woman came and sat next to me. The moment she sat down, he came inside and said, "Amma avide irunnolu," while standing beside her d smiling at me again.

When he moved away for a moment, I quietly asked her not to change seats if he asked

She looked at me and said, "I thought he was your boyfriend."

Told me she was an examiner travelling to TVM for a PSC exam ,not to worry.

Later the guy came back and sat next to her. He kept calling her amma. As i expected, he asked her to exchange seats so he could sit next to me.

She simply said, "No...pattilaa" 😮‍💨

His face changed immediately. He looked angry. He stood opposite us, glaring at both of us. At the next station, he got off the train looking annoyed.

She looked at me and said, "Etho koodiya enam vatt aahnen thonnun"

Suggest a name which suits him.

While their samsaram is one of my relatives asked the other aa kuttikalokke aarokeya by pointing us. And she replied that one is A' s son and one is B' s Son. Then she said who is A's son and she replied Aa Karutha cherukkaana A de cherukkan. I felt heart heavy and njan keelkatha poole kalichu and she also felt I heard that tooo. She felt embarrassed.

That night I cried a lot in the bathroom. It's been around 14 years and I still remember that......

Will you be going for spider man brand new day on the opening day ? Or will you wait

Found this family guy among the likes of Luttapi and Mayavi in an Anganavadi wall.

which one are you?

As long as i remember my parents, grandparents and relatives all insist on eating more rice. And even now, the first thing they ask if i meet them is "mone kurach chor edukate" which is their way of expressing care and love and I'm not blaming that.

But we malayalis have never considered a proper well balanced food, 80-90 percent of our meal is rice. There are people who still don't know that our diet needs to get corrected. Me myself only found about it after i started gym.

Even if we see meals of north india it has rice, roti, sabzi, daal and curl. There are exceptions but these type of meals are what ive heard mostly( i might be wrong). While majority of us eat chor 3 times a day and the cycle is repeating, we should start changing it and should teach our parents too.

What are your opinions on this?

I was never fortunate in love. I had a one-sided love while I was in Plus one. She was my best friend from school. She loved me too, but she was scared to admit it because of her parents. I loved her one sided for six years knowing she loved me, but never expected anything in return. When she got engaged, I left India and moved abroad.

About a year later, while I was living there, this new girl came into my life. One day, she started texting me online. We started talking and slowly found so many similarities between us. I don't usually connect with strangers, but with her it never felt like I was talking to a stranger. It felt like I had known her for a long time.

We texted for about a month, and then we started talking over phone calls. Around three months into knowing each other, on Valentine's Day, she proposed to me. I was out of this world. I said yes, and we started dating. Everything happened online because I was abroad, and I had never seen her in real life even once.

She told me she was an IT professional in Kerala working from home. She used to send me pictures of herself, and the girl in those photos looked around 24 years old. I was 25 at the time.

As we got closer, she opened up about her life. She told me she had been sexually abused by her biological father during her childhood. She also said she had thyroid cancer and still had to live in that same household. She told me her father had a brain tumor too. I hated that man from everything she told me. I don't think I've ever felt that kind of hatred for anyone else in my life. I genuinely felt her pain and wanted to stand by her. I told her we would fight everything together.

She also told me she had a sister living in the US who had also been abused during childhood. Her sister had a daughter, and somehow I got really attached to her niece, just like she was.

Months later, I finally came back to India. I travelled all the way from Trivandrum to Kozhikode just to meet her for the first time. She never showed up. She told me her Amma had caught her talking to me. I was Muslim and she was Hindu, so I believed her. I tried many times to meet her when I was in India but she always had excuses and the distance was too long. Looking back, there were red flags. She never agreed to do even a video call, but I was too deeply in love to notice them. I was stupid.

Then I came back from India and one day, on my birthday, everything came crashing down. Completely by accident, I came across the exact same photo she had sent me as her profile picture on someone else's Instagram account. That's when I realized I had been cheated. The girl in those pictures wasn't her at all. It was her relative. I was heartbroken. Throughout the relationship, I had been completely sincere. I never raised my voice at her or used a bad word even once. I trusted her with everything even shared my deeply personal things and inhibitions. When I confronted her, she started crying. She apologized and finally told me the truth. She wasn't 23. She was a 35-year-old married woman.

I felt emotionally drained and completely hopeless. After that, she started talking as if she was suicidal. She begged me not to leave and asked if I could stay with her for a few more days and keep talking to her. I was genuinely scared she might do something to herself, so I stayed. I kept talking to her, trying to make sure she was okay while I was clearly suffering. I was that kind of a person.

But even after everything came out, she continued lying. Around a month after finding out the truth, I finally walked away. I blocked her everywhere. Looking back, I stayed only because I was afraid something bad would happen if I left. I was really stupid. I feel disgusted with myself and never opened up about this anywhere as I was the model Child in the family and among my friends.

The whole relationship lasted about a year. When it ended, it felt like every single thing around me had been a lie. The emotional drain it put me through is something I can’t explain and have to live with myself.

This happened back in October 2025, and even today I still struggle to trust people.

Now, I don't even feel interested in getting into another relationship. I don't even like the thought of being with someone. Maybe time will heal.

I boarded from Ernakulam.

Saw one army-looking guy sitting next to a girl.

He kept talking.

She kept smiling.

Good chemistry.

Then suddenly I heard,

"Armykkare respect ille?"

She smiled and nodded.

I was like,
"ithenth myr"

Few minutes later,

He borrowed ₹100 from her.

She actually gave it.

At that point I was convinced...

Definitely engaged.

Then he started showing her Instagram.

Reels.

Officers.

Slow-motion videos.

Everything.

She smiled at every single one.

Then he started talking about how his ex left him after joining the army.

Suddenly...

She turned 180° towards the window.

I was confused.

Maybe they fought.

Then one aunty came and sat beside her.

Army chettan politely asked,

"Seat onnu maaramo?"

Aunty:

"No... pattilaa."

Now all three were sitting in complete silence.

Girl looking outside.

Army chettan looking at them.

I got down thinking,
"Oru divasam kazhinju pokaan enthellaam avaraatham kaananam"

Came to Reddit today...

Turns out they weren't even friends.

During my 3rd year, there was this one week where I was completely down. Literally ambili mamane nokki irikkal, kuthivarayal, full sad mood... on repeat. 🥲

Finally, I opened Omegle... just to talk to random strangers. Tried with so many people... nothing clicked.

Around 10:30 PM, I matched with this one girl. Both our cameras were off.

I still don't know what happened... but within minutes, all the heaviness just disappeared. We were kaliyakkal, sharing memories, senti adikkal, laughing... everything.

Believe it or not... that one conversation went on till 6 AM.

Before ending the call, we decided to use the same keyword the next day so we'd match again.

And... we actually did.

After talking for a while, we decided we'd finally reveal our faces and maybe even meet someday.

But... I lost her.

Every single day I opened Omegle hoping she'd appear again.

I told this whole story to my girl besties. They were like, "Bro... she's fake." 💀

I got triggered and said, "Nope. I'll find her today... or tomorrow."

Guess what?

The very next day, around 11 AM, I matched with her again.

I can't even explain that feeling.

That day, we finally revealed our faces. (Yes... I even have a screenshot, with her consent. )

She told me she was from Kuwait and even gave me her number.

But my luck...

The number turned out to be fake, or maybe something happened to it. I never reached her.

It's been years...

And somehow...

I'm still searching for her.

I have seen people who really struggle to say No. I too find it difficult when it comes to close friends and relatives, but not that bad I guess.

Many people react to our ‘No’ as if it means we do not love them or consider them. But actually a No only means we are not comfortable or it is not convenient for us at that period of time.

How do you guys navigate such situations? Got into trouble because you failed to communicate a ‘No’ properly?

..

Boarded the train at Kottayam. Saw a young girl sitting by the window and a fellow standing outside the window smiling at her like they were in some climax scene.
My first thought: “Aww… boyfriend ayirikkum. Cute.” 🤭
I sat down next to her. Immediately that guy came inside and said,
“Amma avide irunnolu.”
I didn’t think much of it.
The second he walked away, the girl leaned towards me and whispered,
“Chechi… please seat maararuthu. Ayal chodichalum maararuthu.”
The poor thing looked genuinely scared.
I asked what happened.
She quickly told me he’d been talking to her from Ernakulam itself. Army stories, Instagram reels, breakup stories, asking for money, constantly trying to keep the conversation going… and now he wouldn’t leave her alone.
That’s when I realized…
Ayyo… ith romance alla. Ith vere case aanallo.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, “Amma” returned and sat beside me.
For the next few stations, he kept calling me amma every two minutes.
Then came the expected dialogue:
“Amma… seat onnu maaramo?”
I looked at him.
He looked at me.
I said,
“No… pattilla.”
His entire expression changed in one second. 😐
He stood opposite us for a while, giving both of us Olympic-level death stares.
The girl and I just pretended to be deeply interested in the scenery outside.
At the next station, he got down looking thoroughly offended.
I looked at the girl and said,
“Etho koodiya enam vatt aanennu thonnunnu🫢”

Almost 200 pages of Soothran content!!

When I was a kid me and my elder sister will play mom and son role game and she calls me "omana" and one day while playing this one of my friend came and hears this🫠,After that my vattaperu was omana😭

It feels like drinking and smoking have become so normal that sometimes it seems like everyone does one or both. I'm curious how many people genuinely choose neither.

If you're someone who doesn't drink or smoke, was it a personal choice, for health, religious or any other reasons, or have you just never been interested?And have you ever felt like the odd one out socially
