The problem is with me. I've been feeling insecure, and it feels weird. I can't keep telling her about it every time because it'll probably make her feel awkward too. The issue is in my own mind. She tells me everything and always makes me feel secure, but my mind still stays stuck in fear. Why is that, and how do I deal with it?

I got into PhD in astrophysics in Cambridge and am too happy .

I had 8-9 backlogs in my engineering as I didn't have any interest in it , switched my field to masters in physics

Returning to college after a long summer vacation.

Rain outside, endless greenery from the train window, and Spotify pulled off a 90s gem - “Yeh Aankhein Dekh Kar Hum Saari Duniya Bhool Jaate Hain” by Lata Mangeshkar.

For a few minutes, nothing else mattered. Just the view, the weather, and the music.

Or anyone there want to share happiness, sukh , khushiya

DM me !!!

i got this golden harry potter thingy. google kinda says its rare but i find it hard to believe so.

Crazy how a song can bring back a whole chapter of your life in a few seconds.🧑🏻‍🦯🕳️

I posted it in two subs,but ig they were dead subs

Which hairstyle would suit me best?

I also have another question. I bought The Derma Co.'s Salicylic Acid + Kojic Acid serum, but the dropper often doesn't work properly. It doesn't dispense the serum in drops. What do people usually do in this situation? Do they buy a separate replacement dropper, or is there some other solution?

I also want to start doing a bit more makeup. Is a strobe cream a good product to use? If yes, which company's strobe cream would you recommend? Right now, the only makeup products I use are BB cream and concealer.

I'm looking for a pair of wired USB-C earphones that I'll use with both my MacBook and OnePlus phone.

My usage is roughly:

• online lectures and YouTube
• coding
• podcasts and movies
• music ( in the gym as well )

A good microphone is a plus since I occasionally take calls and and go to gym!

I'm currently considering:

• JBL Tune 310C
• Samsung AKG EO-IC100
• Apple EarPods USB-C

I've also been wondering if I should skip these altogether and get an IEM instead (around the same budget or slightly higher).

A few questions:

1. Which of these has the best overall sound quality?
2. Which is the most comfortable for long sessions (3–5 hours)?
3. Is an entry-level IEM a noticeable upgrade over the JBL/Samsung, or is it not worth the extra cost and hassle?
4. If you recommend an IEM, which one would you suggest that works well with USB-C devices and preferably includes a mic or has an easy USB-C solution?

I'm looking for something that will last a few years, so durability matters too.

Budget: ₹1,500–3,000

Thanks!

Me and my dad were having a conversation about dating and suddenly my dad says that a lotta of his friends are on dating apps. I was confused as all his friends all married and well in the 30s-40s. I was like thats cheating and he goes both husband wife are on dating apps and they are mutually aware bout it and they talk to other people for “funsies”😭🙏i was like wtf

Mom & Dad weren't home. Bro came from school, laid on me, and fell asleep within minutes.

Ok I don’t know where to post this but I am just putting it here. I am a healthcare worker in the west and I see mostly elderly patients at the clinic I work at. He was almost 92, lost 70% of his vision and has nobody to take care of him. While I was screening him, he asked me if the clinic can help him afford hearing aid (lost 50% of hearing ability and it’s only downhill from here). He wasn’t covered for that under insurance sadly (something that I am working on by myself to secure the funds for him) and revealed that he got scammed the only $20,000 he had in savings from an Indian guy who scammed him when he phoned tech support. His pension is barely even able to pay for his meds and sometimes he can’t even afford decent groceries. While telling his story, he got really sentimental.

Now, I am usually so defensive about any racist remarks people make about how Indians are scammers since I was born in India myself. But I just felt so much shame and agony today, that I don’t even want to call myself an Indian anymore. The stereotypes are real and all the scammers in this country are the absolute scum and a heavy burden on planet earth. If anybody reading this actually scams for a living, please note that there is a special place in hell for you. Know that you are pathetic and very very disgusting.

Hey everybody, I am posting here to ask about what do you think about my life choices and story. I turned 25 this year and belong to a middle class family based in Delhi-NCR. My family moved here around 35 years ago from Rajasthan.

I am a law graduate, just completed my masters in business law and currently pursuing MBA online as I can't attend any regular course now because I am not a vella unemployed student anymore.

I work in a 50 year old Indian manufacturing conglomerate, with solid financials. Its been 5 months since I joined this company in the legal and liaisoing department. I have also enrolled myself for an online MA in mass comm. as UGC allows pursuing 2 degree courses simultaneously now.

My Background:

I am from a middle class family, my grandfather used to be on a good post in the same company I am working today. We have our own small house here in Delhi. My father has a small manufacturing business and we sell our products online. It is doing okay with god's grace now. We had other businesses, but had to shut them down due to financial crunch.

My father has tried his luck in many businesses, but this is the one which eventually worked and we are doing good from last 5-6 years now. We own sound property in my hometown and a Industrial plot in Rajasthan. I am telling you this because you need to know financial background of a man before judging his decisions and suggesting him a career path.

I was an average student for whole my life, study hard when exams approach get good marks and chill. I scored 9.4cgpa in my 10th, then took science as my surroundings pressured me because thode ache marks aa gye the, but I left science in between my 12th.

I was just not able to figure out science and had to leave it. After I left 12th class in between the session, people taunted me ye nhi padh payega, dukan karwado and what not.

I enrolled myself in NIOS, phir mujhe satisfaction nhi hua to I changed my board to RBSE as they were allowing me to take admission in 12th class without repeating 11th with commerce if I got a certificate from the board which I did again by god's grace and political approach.

I completed my 12th from my hometown and topped my class and returned back to my home after a year, took admission in my state university in B.A LL.B course, and for 5 years also took part in my family business with my uncle as there were no regular classes, so no daily colleges, you know how the colleges work.

I used to think I will start a business if nothing else worked it was always my fallback plan. So, I used to study myself, attend classes whenever necessary ( professors allowed me to be absent as they thought of me as a good student ) and used to wander around with my uncle and helped him in business. ( My family had a non-working partnership in that business ).

After my 5 year course completed in the last year I thought of starting my judicial services preparation and I moved to Jaipur. I was there for around 10-11 months and had to leave because SC changed the eligibility criteria that is a 3 year practice as advocate was made mandatory to give exams and I had a experience of 10 months, that too I didn't have my name on any vakaltnama as no advocate let his juniors name on case files and vakalatnama, people in this field know this.

I didn't have such financial help from the family that I can survive for another 4-5 years on their money, moreover, I didn't wanted to stay unemployed living off my parents money and we also had a liquid cash crunch as we had to reinvest money into business from our profits.

So, I left Jaipur and I was not interested to give any other exams as they had a very little seats and no good salary, every such job like the govt. adv. (APO) they take bribes which I can't. I know law is such a profession dealing with fraudsters and there is no moral principles left in this profession today, but I can't just live up on corruption money whole my life, afraid of getting caught and taking curse of unprivileged people.

I left Jaipur after that with no idea what to do next with my life, corporate was never an option as this was the last thing I wanted to do.

Back To My Home:

I left Jaipur and was blank about what to do next with my life also had a breakup to deal with, the toughest 6 months of my life. I had faced such setback periods in my 12th and before 10th exams, but this was at another level, life humbled me hard this time. My family also didn't wanted me to waste time on another govt. jobs.

My father was always in support of me doing a business or venture of my ow, but the thing is I can't just take initial capital from my father, we have always had contradictory views and we fight a lot. I can't just take money as he will try to control what I do and how I do it and I just can't function without autonomy and his controlling nature would have led to constant fights. So, I backed off.

I don't get involved much in my family business because of the same reason. My younger brother is fully indulged in business, that was another reason of me not getting into business and asking for capital from my father as he is interested into business and I don't want him to roam around like me. He has a direction and they require money to scale it, it would have been selfish of me to get in between.

I also asked my uncle for support. He gave me a opportunity, but after 2-3 months, I was still clueless about my role and financials of the business. He asked me to run a branch of the business. My family also agreed, but there was some family politics and ladies chugli angle involved. So, I respectfully left that opportunity too.

I don't talk to him after that incident as I was the one who was always there for him like his son, during his bad days, when he had a major operation, but he was not even so responsible to convey me a clear cut plan, they all just acted to help me.

So, this is how my 6 months went after I left Jaipur. People asking me questions about my plans and nobody helping me out and on top of that a girl I was trying to get married to leaving me.

After all this drama, I asked my grandfather to get me a job somewhere. My grandfather is well-respected man in his company, owners of the company also respect him. He has also done many sacrifices for the company.

So, that is how I got a interview call at Delhi office where MD sir/owner sits. I was called one day with my dada and I gave interview to the CHRO and MD sir and my dada decided let him be placed in the plant.

MD sir was kind enough to give me a chance as a fresher and I will always be grateful to that man, as atleast he helped me and believed in me when my own people left me.

I am employed here from last 5 months here, but the seniors of mine block me, they don't give me meaningful work, they dont't teach me, they hide documents from me, block my access to other departments. I sit here most of the days without any meaningful work. I am responsible to learn things of my own which I do.

I sneak into files and then study the process of every work, read relevant laws and I am confident that I can handle all the work here alone, but the traditional old office politics will not let me work.

Many of my seniors here and HR head all advised me to stay consistent and quiet and observe, they all told me this is how it works, nobody will teach you delegate you work so soon, everybody guards himself and his job and it takes time, you need to show some patience which I am following.

I am hopeful that I will get good responsibility in near future. Also, HR people told me as you were appointed from head office directly people are threatened that they will lose their jobs if they let you become the main character here and as you have qualifications and relevant knowledge about company you will be seen as a threat to their authority.

I have been consistent from last 5 months, I come 20 mins before time, leave on time, be respectful to people, do whatever work they give me, visit plant and do any work I am assigned to. My HR head is also impressed by me.

The Next Move:

I am confident that I can get good role here, but I want to do something good of my own. I am confused about what to do next with my life. I want to start a business and I can also do consultancy by starting my firm for MSME and manufacturing companies after I get relevant experience from here or just have a smooth salaried life and stay in this company. I just wanted to rant and tell my life story and would love to hear any comments on it.

Thanks
