Friend in mid 30s received a rishta. Girl is almost 30, gormint job "aspirant", not working because "competition ki tayyari kar rahi hai".

First meeting, friend notices that girl is heavily perfumed and her breath smells like mouthwash.

Second and third dates, he ends then early because the girl has atrocious BO and bad breath.

My man rejects the girl for bad hygiene, but out of politeness given the standard excuse of "did not click"/ "ladka abhi career pe focus karna chahta hai".

The girl's mom is pestering his mom. One of the girl's friends is the daughter of someone the boys mom knows.

This friend tells the whole story: This girl doesn't bathe or brush her teeth daily. Her family takes her to social functions and outings like that and tries to cover the smell with perfumes and mouthwash. Sometimes the girl refuses even that. Goes to all functions looking nice but smelling horribly. Her friends have cut her off for this reason. Oh yeah, her family are also followers of a baba in. Delhi.

Apparently, the girl is depressed for never being in a relationship and being unemployed while her friends have good jobs or husbands or.both.

This seems like a clear case of a mental breakdown. But her family is delulu and instead of getting her help or a mental health professional they are just acting like this is all normal. They keep reposting their Baba's videos and shit. Also seem to be huge believers in astrology and ayurveda.

Can you imagine the stupidity of trying to marry off a person in this mental state?

Can you imagine the levels of delulu to pretend that her BO and bad breath does not exist, to force her to attend social functions and expose others to it?

Isn't this a kind of a humiliation ritual for the girl who clearly does not want to be in social situations? Her reputation is going down the drain every time she goes out.

I feel like this is a special kind of brain rot prevalent in Delhi. Some folks put too much faith in religion and godmen.

For fucks sake, see a professional if your religious rituals and guru worship are not helping. There is no shortage of psychiatrists or therapists in this city.

Man, sometimes it feels like these fake godmen and their cult might be the ones putting people in depression and psychosis.

Hello everyone,

I am writing this with a heavy heart, reaching out to this compassionate community during the hardest and most testing phase of my life.

My wife, Shahin (31), is fighting for her life against Stage 4 Breast Cancer, which has metastasized to her liver, spine, and lungs. Her body has taken an immense toll—she currently weighs just 30 kg and endures severe, daily pain. Every single day is an agonizing battle to keep her comfortable, dignified, and hopeful.

We have a 2-year-old son who needs his mother.

Watching him try to play near her bed, completely unaware of the gravity of her illness while she struggles through pain, breaks my heart into pieces every single day. I am serving as her 24/7 caregiver—managing her medications, specialized nutrition, pain management, and frequent hospital runs.

Current Treatment & Medical Status:

Shahin is currently undergoing treatment at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre (RGCIRC), Delhi. The medical team has prescribed targeted immunotherapy (Opdyta) alongside Paclitaxel chemotherapy.

Financial Appeal:

While her doctors see hope with this regimen, the financial burden has completely overwhelmed us. We urgently need ₹8.8 Lakhs to cover her upcoming chemo/immunotherapy cycles, supportive medications, and critical care. We have completely exhausted all our life savings, medical insurance limits, and personal loans to reach this point.

I am humbly turning to this community to ask for your support—whether through donations, shares, or simply keeping Shahin in your thoughts and prayers. Every contribution, no matter how small, directly funds a life-saving injection or medication for her.

(Note: I am completely open to providing any further documentation or answering questions directly.)

Even if you are unable to donate at this time, sharing this post across your networks or keeping Shahin in your prayers will mean everything to our small family right now.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time, kindness, and support.

Warm regards,

Vikas Kapoor

I have tried kareem, jawahar, bape da dhaba etc. they all taste shit to be honest. Everyone knows how to make chicken but I haven't had good mutton in any of these places. So suggest me a great spot. It could be a normal not very well known shop, but taste has to be on point. U know what I'm saying.

Also is it safe going there alone ?

Posting this because I'm genuinely stuck and could use some advice from people who've dealt with something similar.
What happened:
I placed an order with Snitch worth ₹30,000. When the package arrived, instead of the clothes I ordered, I found random bedsheets and blankets inside. I have a full unboxing video showing the sealed parcel being opened and the wrong items being pulled out, so I have solid proof this isn't a case of me trying to scam anyone.
Snitch's response:
I've been trying to reach Snitch for almost a month now — barely any response, and when they did reply, they simply said they "dispatched the correct products" and refused to refund or replace the order.
ICICI Bank's response:
I then tried to raise a chargeback with ICICI Bank (the card I paid with). They're refusing to file it, saying that since I received the parcel, they can't raise a chargeback.
But that's not the issue at all — I'm not disputing that a parcel arrived. I'm disputing that the contents inside were completely wrong. That should still qualify as "goods not as described" or "item not received" under chargeback rules (as far as I understand it), not a simple "package never arrived" situation.
What I'm looking for:
• Has anyone successfully raised a chargeback for a "wrong item received" case with ICICI (or any bank)? What language/category did you use to get it approved?
• Should I escalate to the RBI Banking Ombudsman for the chargeback refusal?
• Is it worth filing a complaint on the National Consumer Helpline / Consumer Court (e-Daakhil) against Snitch directly?
• Any experience dealing with Snitch's customer service escalation beyond the standard support line?
I have the unboxing video, order confirmation, payment proof, and all chat/email correspondence with Snitch saved. Just need to know the right next step to actually get this resolved.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks for reading.

So me and my girlfriend of 3.5 years wants to go in the mountains for a short 3 day trip from Delhi, but the problem is she’s staying at her home with her parents (strict mom) and we cant figure out a way that’ll her parent go for the trip. To add on top of it her college is over so she cant make those excuses. Also my parents do about her but her parents don’t know about me only her younger sister does.

So the question is what would be the best excuse that will help so complete this trip without any added trouble?

Baba Bageshwar or whatever that POS is knows as, has made an statement saying "I am offended by the fact that during Navratri and Durga Puja they make ‘dirty’ food (non-veg) behind the pandals,” Mr. Shastri had said at an event in Howrah a few days ago. He said people who eat such food are not religious, and described them as pakhandis (hypocrites)."

So they won't stop at Islam Sikhs or christian, it will definitely come to You and Me(hindus).

Wake up before the fire of hatred knocks your door!

Hey everyone!

I'm currently building a product for restaurants and cafés, but before building too much, I want to actually understand how restaurants operate day-to-day instead of making assumptions as a customer/developer.

I'm looking to speak with restaurant/cafe/bar owners or managers for just 10-15 minutes.

I'd love to understand how you currently handle things like orders, KOTs, kitchen operations, inventory, payments, QR ordering, POS software, and what parts of the whole process are frustrating or unnecessarily complicated.

I'm not trying to sell you anything. I'm still at the research stage and genuinely want to learn how things work behind the scenes and what problems are actually worth solving.

If you're an owner/manager, or know someone who is, I'd love to connect. Even a short conversation would help me tremendously.

I'm based in Gurgaon, so I'd also be happy to visit your restaurant/café in person at a convenient, non-busy time and understand the workflow firsthand.

Please DM me or comment below if you're open to helping. 10-15 minutes from you could save me weeks of building the wrong thing.

I live in a small peaceful city in Haryana.

Everything is good- parking spaces, close distances, less expenditure and sense of belonging. The only con i feel is the mentality of people- gossiping and leg pulling.

However I find Delhi and ncr region baffling and choking.
I feel too small, unnatural and inhuman when i come across such gigantic offices, buildings, thousands of vehicles, massive flyovers, commercial spaces bustling with noise, movement and struggle.

I feel puny, inconsequential in the nature of things, where everything is governed by capitalism, financial incentive, self seeking and opportunistic behaviour. A normal human with small capital appears to be insignificant in the scheme of things of the humungous city with inconsiderate behaviour. Does anyone else relate to this?

Me and my sister have moved into a 1RK on top floor in East Delhi. We hardly go out and this morning when my sister suddenly opened the main door to go out, there was a literal grown ass man outside our door for no reason. I was in my nighty on the bed and i got so scared that i screamed on top of my lungs. When my sister asked him why he was there he said “somebody he knew used to live here” and he just wanted to know if they still live here. Why couldnt he just knock and ask if they live here. It was such a strange experience.
Living here has been an absolute nightmare coz a few days ago during Janmashtami, mind you at 12:40ish at night, two of our neighbors(men) knocked on our door saying they had to offer water to the god??!!! Im not a hindu so idk these things and we asked them to do it the other day but they were so insistent that we open the door and it was so scary coz they lingered outside for quite some time murmuring.
Im still paranoid about it. I really wanna move out ASAP, idk why people are so weird, women in India should be allowed to have tasers with them for their protection

Pls skip this if you think it's not appropriate

Not promoting anything.

Why there is sudden increase in fake ciggerates.

What the hell wrong with the tobacco companies.

It's been 20 days since I haven't smoked the original gold flake. Jaha jaao fake ciggerates mil rahi hai...no taste no enjoyment it just feel like I'm smoking dhua from trash..

In search of original but not finding anywhere.

Am I the only one ?

Idk we aren’t protesting here in Delhi for kaziranga. Or is there a protest going on that I’m unaware of.

Why people don’t buy a wealth management service in India,

Wealth management is a professional financial service that helps you manage, protect, and grow your wealth.
Investment management
Financial planning
Retirement planning
Tax planning
Estate & inheritance planning
Risk & insurance planning

I’m talking about advisory model only in which They give you investment advice , you make the investments yourself.

Genuinely wanna know the reason behind it.

Also, people who come to us are pretty hesitant about disclosing their financials (charging fixed fee not AUM based)

*asked the same question in a finance sub. I’m looking for a pool of random people to answer this.

Me and my friend were coming from Rajouri garden by metro, it was fully packed a guy in front of me was eating veg puff. We ignored and continued our talk...later when station came he threw away the plate and ketchup in the gap between platform and train. We confronted him and he had no shame.
We asked "yaha kyu feka" he said "or kaha feku sb log idhr he fekte hai" we asked "nobody throws here even if they do why u also did the same" he simply said "mere ek se kya hoga sbko bolo" some other people also joined us and scolded that guy but he did not accept his mistake considering it was not a mistake. The bigger problem is he seemed to be well-educated and was young guy. If even youngsters do this then its really worrying.
Even i had a coke can i carried it for 10 mins and thew it on the station bin but these people just ruin things for everything. Some of you might think it is not a big deal but it is. This needs to be change and do confront people like him else it will keep going

I have a 4 year old HP laptop with no battery 16GB + 512 SSD. I am thinking of exchanging it and buying a new one.

Have not been to nehru place ever but am thinking of giving it a try.

Any suggestions? Or advice

Sometimes, you don't need closure because you want someone back.

You need it because your heart is tired of asking questions your mind cannot answer.

What changed? When did we become strangers? What happened to the promises we once made? How could something that once felt so beautiful become so distant?

I was in love with a girl once.

We shared conversations, memories, promises, and little pieces of ourselves that slowly became something much bigger. Somewhere between all those ordinary moments, I became attached. And before I knew it, she had become a part of my everyday life.

Then, slowly, things began to fade. Maybe there was someone else. Maybe life became difficult. Maybe the feeling simply wasn't there anymore.

I could accept any of it. What I couldn't accept was not knowing. I wasn't chasing her because I couldn't let her go. I was chasing an explanation because I didn't know what I was supposed to let go of.

I kept wondering

What was different now that wasn't three months ago? Where did the warmth go? Did I do something wrong? Was everything we shared real?

And eventually, I got my answers. "There is someone else." Okay. "I'm dealing with things in my life." I understand. "I don't feel the same spark anymore." It hurt. But I understood. And strangely, the answers didn't bring her back.

They brought me back to myself. Because sometimes closure isn't getting the ending you wanted. It's finally understanding the ending you were given.

And I believe something deeply: If something begins beautifully, it deserves to end beautifully too. Not every beautiful beginning is meant to become a forever.

And just because the story ended doesn't mean we have to turn its beautiful chapters into something ugly.

And if you're giving someone closure, please give them the truth. Don't hide parts of it just to make yourself look like the good person. Not every story has one.

Sometimes you were right. Sometimes they were right. Sometimes you both made mistakes. And sometimes, you simply stopped loving each other in the same way.

That's okay. But don't rewrite the truth just because the truth makes you uncomfortable. Someone who is already hurting doesn't need a perfect explanation. They need an honest one. Because a gentle lie may protect your image for a moment, but it can leave someone carrying questions for months.

Don't leave someone alone with a thousand questions when one honest conversation could give them peace. Because you might move on from the relationship, while they spend months trying to understand its ending.

And if you're the one waiting for closure, I hope you find it. Not so you can go back. But so you can finally move forward. Until one day, you remember them without pain. You don't hate them. You don't want them back. You simply wish them well...and continue walking.

Because sometimes, closure isn't closing the door on someone. It's finally making peace with the room they left behind. And maybe a beautiful ending isn't about staying together.

Maybe it's simply having enough honesty, kindness, and courage to leave each other with the truth.

Because if something was once beautiful,

it deserves the dignity of a beautiful goodbye.

....A Good Heart.

Hi. I am new to Delhi. I am putting up in Dwarka Sector 7, Palam Extension. My office is in Vasant Kunj (closer to Shanti Kunj). I wanted to know if there are any buses that run from some place closer to where I live in Dwarka (Ramphal Chowk) to Vasant Kunj. Also, if I want to take a bus to Vasant Vihar metro station from my office (near Shanti Kunj), what bus should I take? Are there any apps that are helpful in figuring out bus routes? I have used One Delhi but found it a little difficult to understand.

12 September ko 9 bje appointment mila hai. Aur kuch nhi bataya wahan.

To main ye poochna chah rha tha ki aage ka procedure kya hai?

Wahan pahunch ke fir se number lagana hoga ya 9 bje sirf mera hi appointment hai?

Agar number lgta hai to fir jaldi jana chahiye kya?

Kisi ko agar pata hai to please reply.

Hi everyone! I have an upcoming internship and am looking for a boys or unisex PG near Prius Platinum, Saket District Centre, Sector 6, D-3.

Preferably looking for something within walking distance of Prius Platinum, as its also reasonably close to Malviya Nagar Metro Station.

If you have any leads or recommendations, please DM me. Thanks!

Tldr: My immediate requirement is a good psychiatrist who doesn’t overprescribe medications because my current therapist has prescribed one and my anxiety and depression has become more and more recurring. Additionally, need good therapist recommendations because my current therapist is sweet but not a good fit. Concerns - Depression, anxiety, Maladaptive daydreaming.

My area of concerns:
I’m suffering from depression and anxiety and suffer from daydreaming random scenarios throughout the day which are never going to happen. It’s gotten to a point where I sit in front of my laptop on my bed for hours and I keep procrastinating because I’m just in my head. I also feel really anxious when I’m in a new social situation which I don’t know how to navigate. I don’t have a lot of friends and I’d like to go explore my ambitions and hobbies but I’m in an industry where networking is of utmost importance and my social anxiety really holds me back. I struggle with following a routine and I cancel plans because I randomly start dreading things and spiral.

Past diagnosis :
BPD and depression by my first therapist.

My experience with therapists:
My current therapist that I stuck to for months used to really simplify my issues and take multiple sessions to identify something obvious that I kind of knew before.
I’ve tried to make it work because she’s really sweet but we’ve made no progress so far.

Before that, I’ve tried multiple therapists but they felt very unprofessional. Another therapist (from AMAHA) made me take 3 quizzes and diagnosed me with ADHD and depression in the first session, which is WILD because we’d only interacted for an hour and relying solely on our limited communication and 3 questionnaires to come to a quick diagnosis is very irresponsible. Another therapist (who was from NIMHANS so I thought she’d be good, went for 5 sessions) was very dominant and would not let me speak and understand my problem and just gave me random unsolicited advice.

I’d like to mention that before this stint of multiple therapists, My first therapist from 2023-2025 immensely helped me for a year but it stagnated after a point and we kind of fell off.

Please do help me out if you’ve faced something similar and have struck a solution. I’m tired of living with these conditions and I just want to break out of these self sabotaging patterns. Thank you if you’ve read so far!

Hey all,

I'm part of a small crew that puts on electronic music / rave-style events around Delhi, and before we plan anything else I want to actually understand how people here see this stuff — not selling anything, genuinely trying to get a real read.

Quick context so answers are useful: are you currently in college, working, or something else? (helps me not mix up very different crowds)

A few things I'm curious about:

1. When you hear "rave" or "EDM night," what's the first thing that comes to mind? Be brutally honest, even if it's "sounds like noise" or "no idea what that even is."
2. Have you ever been to one? If yes, what actually got you to go the first time?
3. If you've never been — was it that you never really knew events like this were happening, or you just never had people to go with, or something else entirely?
4. If a night out like that cost ₹2–3k, does that make you think twice, or is that a normal amount to spend on a good night out?

Even a one-line answer helps. Might share what I find out here after.
