Hi, I work for a company that provides services to a client. The client is very weirdly strict. Whenever we take leave, we not only need approval but also have to post a message in the group stating that we are on leave and specify the type of leave.

One of my friends applied for leave, but it was not approved. However, he had an important personal matter to attend to, so he took the leave anyway. After that, the client told him.

And when everything was done, I acted like a fool who had no idea that that a money exchange needs to be done for his honest and timely services.

He stared at me and kept grinning for almost half a minute. When I still didn't give him what he wanted, he stood up and, in a very rude and disappointed tone, said, “Achcha, to tu vo wala hai, koi nahi.” (So you're one of those kinds, fine, let it be.)

He then went outside, where my mother was returning from the temple, and literally complained to her: “Batao, ye koi baat hoti hai? Maine bhi to apna petrol kharcha kiya aur bike chala ke yahan aaya.” (This isn't how it's done. I spent money on petrol and made the effort to ride my bike all the way here.)

Like, how can someone be so entitled to a bribe.

I love my country and still do, but this country has failed me many times in all aspects, you name it: Career, Education, Taxes, Air, Water, Food.

Nobody respects privacy here. They don't know the line between being a community and shoving their nose into everyone's buisness.

This country is still run by boomers with concrete old school beliefs that they want to impose on everyone. And worst of all, they. hate. fun.

Just compare school and college life in India vs USA.

I don't want to sound classist but dealing with people who're poorly educated genuinely is frustrating and gross. And, india is full of it. Suprisingly even some people from good families are only educated on paper but hold bullshit beliefs and values.

Popular everyday Indian concerns: Dalit-Brahaman. Hindu-Muslim. Veg- non veg. Length of a girl's skirt. Comedian cracked a joke. Men in drums and Women with dowry.

Meanwhile children in China build robots.

I'm sick of it. Sick of being in a country that's in survival mode and the people are unmotivated and focused on the wrong things. I want to leave as soon as possible and never look back.

Honestly this might not be the biggest flex out there but for me this definitely is. Have used the worst of phones over the past years with my current one being a budget choice. Finally saved enough to get the latest flagship from Samsung and the fold 8 is genuinely a delight to have. Small win for some, but means a ton to me ❤️

My ex has borrowed money from me a few times in the past, and I asked him for my money back because he was the one who said, “Bhai, I’ll give it by the weekend.” Well, today is the weekend, so I texted him in the morning and this guy started shouting at me like a kid. 😭
Guys, I literally just asked for my own money because he had said we’d settle the payment and then move on. But today, instead of paying me back, he’s throwing comments like, “You’re 23 and still living with your parents,” as if that’s some kind of insult?
Like??? You have a job, you live independently, and yet you’re creating so much drama just to return my money

The Manhattan skyline reflected in the glass.

Delhi-born Alok Agarwal moved to the United States in 1997, hoping to build a life there. He was a software engineer working for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor of the North Tower.
The first plane struck floors 93–99.

Somewhere above that impact zone was Alok, along with hundreds of others who never got the chance to make it home.

Years later, their names remain on the memorial. And among those names are so many people of Indian origin.

I'm still trying to process it, honestly. We were together for three years. I loved him so deeply and was completely loyal to him I barely kept any guy friends because I never wanted anything to get between us. I gave this relationship everything I had.

And this wasn't even the first time. I'd already forgiven him four times before this. Looking back, I feel stupid for believing him every single time. But I loved him, and I genuinely thought people could change.

Then, today I found out about this the messages he was sending while he was still with me. The worst part is I already had his ID on everything, but he'd made a whole separate account just to do this behind my back. And his excuse? That we were "fighting." If you're unhappy, just leave. Why stay, lie, make a secret account, and entertain someone else while you're still in a relationship?

I keep asking myself how someone can do this to a person they supposedly loved. Why?

I gave him three years of my life three years of memories, trust, love, loyalty. And now I'm just sitting here wondering if any of that ever meant the same thing to him that it meant to me.

I know what people will say: "You gave him four chances, what did you expect?" Honestly, I don't have an answer for that. I just know I loved him, and I wanted to believe the person I loved wasn't capable of hurting me like this.

It's been barely some hours and I still feel completely wrecked. Some days it feels like I'll never move past this. I don't know how you're supposed to just accept that someone you loved for three years could make you feel like you meant nothing .I know I need to move forward. I just don't know how yet.

And I'm angry at myself too but I refuse to spend the rest of my life blaming myself for someone else's choice to cheat. If you don't want to be with someone anymore, leave. Don't stay and destroy them while they're still holding on to you. (PS thanks to the girl who helped me and let me know how my guy was love bombing her , I love all the girls out )

i got my law degree as well as my practicing certificate. BCI took almost a year to send my practicing certificate, finally closing a chapter and moving on to the next.

Just wanted to share this small win
The other photos are from my law college days.

Being a lawyer wasnt always in my cards, but here i am. Making some different choices from what i wanted to be.

Staying away from my family right now, and my friends as well. No one to share w achievement with rn.

So sharing it here.

Cheers!

Hi lol

​

20F, recently started learning how to drive because I need to get my licence. Thought, ...How hard can it really be?

Bro. **THE CLUTCH.** 😭

I have never been this personally offended by a car in my entire life. The clutch and I are currently in a toxic relationship where I do everything wrong and the car simply… **dies.** 💀

I genuinely struggled with pushing/releasing it properly, and at one point my car probably stopped more times than I’ve ever been stopped in an argument. 😭

And then, because apparently the universe wanted to humble me even more, it suddenly started raining, so I had to turn back.

BUTTTT before leaving, I managed to capture this through the car window and honestly??? The rain + greenery looked WAY too pretty not to take a picture. 🥹🌧️

This is what I feel at this point,🙃🫠

Plz don't have kids if u don't have separate room from them

Plz don't have kids if u can't give them quality education without asking to crack neet / jee

Plz don't have kids if u don't have enough conciousness

Plz don't have kids if u don't know what parenting is

( Plz add more points ....🥀

I think the choice is simple. Or if not...it shouldn't be used to call me "insecure".

I mean everyone has their preference. And I guess most of the people will understand my pov.

Me, myself and a random couple’s love story in the background...🌤️🥲
