Waiting for it to start!! Along with 140k other people!

I applied for a job online through a job portal website. they didnt open my application for 2 weeks. after some time, they closed the posting. So I thought, oh well, I guess i didnt get the job.
Then, a week later, they view my applicatio (we get notified when they open our application). 2 days later I get a message that I have been shortlisted, and to fill a google form... I fill it and send it back within an hour.
it's been a whole day and I still have not heard back from them.
However I see them online in the job portal.
what does this mean?
it's a small company. Just about 10- 15 employees.
I am quite desperate to get the job, and its the only thing that has been on my mind ever since they reached out to me yesterday

I have worked in IT as a Business Analyst and also in a Logistics company as a financial analyst. I have about 5 years experience working in some ventures of my own…. Gained a whole lot of learning’s from entrepreneurship but I had to switch paths because of some challenges. Please let me know if you are looking to hire someone who can look at a problem from the perspective of an employee and an owner. Since I have worked in multiple sectors, I will be able to share my insights with the team, as well as to learn and grow with you

My husband and I stay in the city that I grew up in. He moved here because I asked him to move. My parents and sister’s family visit us often. I have been very close to my parents and sister all my life, and it’s mostly been the same post marriage too.
I share a cordial and respectful relationship with my in laws as does my husband with his. Both of us are neither extra close yet, we are there for each others’ family occasions and whenever we are needed.
Last month was my husband’s brother’s engagement and they told us to go there early because they needed help with the preparations etc. all in all, we stayed with my in laws’ (who stay in another state) for one month and one week.
Yes, it was tiring for me because I was working from home… so I had to spend a good 10 hours at work, and after logging out there were some basic obligations - helping a bit in the house work, going shopping with the groom, talking to all the relatives etc.
I have no complaints with my in laws behaviours towards me at all.
However, after returning, my mom whispers and asks me, “how was your mom in law towards you when you stayed there for a whole month?” “Try to not make it a habit to stay there for so long.” I asked her the reason. She said my father apparently feels that I have changed since that long stay, and because I am always around my husband he can’t ask if something is wrong… and can’t tell me not to stay for that long there.
I don’t know what to make of it. My parents have always loved me and have been always a bit over protective of me . But… I don’t think they should be telling such things.
Yes I am very tired because of my job, the long endless travel…. So I don’t feel like being that jolly carefree self that they associate with me.
Isn’t that a normal part of growing up? When the stresses of adulthood take over, I can’t always be the same person I was before marriage.
Am I missing something here? I know they care for me so very much.

Yesterday in the news, there was a story of a 1.5 year old baby who was brutally murdered because his parents didn't want him anymore. I thought to myself, how I would love to take care of that baby if he was unwanted. And some comments too were of couples going through infertility who wished they could have been given the chance to take care of that baby and how only those going through the pain of infertility understands the value of such a child. Since then the thought of adoption has been in my mind. We don't have to be chasing a dream every single month, throwing money on tests and scans .... when we could love a baby in need of love instead... what are your opinions on this?

For context, I have been married for 3.5 years. My husband and I live separately from my in laws in another state. My relationship with my in laws is warm. My mother in law is sweet and loving, though in the beginning she was a little reserved to me. However over time our relationship has grown organically. There is mutual respect and love built over time. My husband's younger brother recently got engaged. And as is the custom here in India, as he lives with his parents, the new daughter in law will be moving in and staying with my in laws. She is okay with it.

What made me feel weird is, even though there is more than a year for the marriage, she was so familiar with my in laws. They're not even married, but she calls my mom in law regularly over the phone. She has already started calling her "Mummy." And in a recent outing with the whole family, they both were holding hands and being so familiar. As much as I love my mum in law, I'm not as pally and familiar as she is. I just remember thinking, I was definitely not this lovey dovey in the beginning stages of my marriage let alone BEFORE my marriage.

I feel weird about it, though I can't point a finger to what exactly.

Maybe it's because they both know they have to live together that they're both being very warm to each other. Or maybe it's all genuine and I am the weird one. Maybe I feel people will start comparing both the daughters in law and she will be judged as "the better one."

Sigh. I wish them all the happiness. I just wanted a place to vent.

For context, I have a Catholic spirituality channel, and I live in India. The majority of the people here will not be interested in my content. I want it to reach people overseas, yet 60% of my views are from India. I also believe that this is affecting my CTR as it's showing my video to the wrong audience. What can I do?

I live in India. But my videos is about Catholic spirituality and that does not interest majority of Indians. Yet, more than 60% of my audience is from India. How can I control the countries that it is sent to? I even changed the location option of my account to another country as I am not yet monetized. Nit sure if that helps.

My husband and I started a YouTube channel. The script writing, editing, research, narration... all done by me while also doing a full time job. My husband mostly does the shorts.

I spent months on a long form video which I finally uploaded. Only for it to get 75 views and 1 very sincere and encouraging comment.

While I enjoy the process all this takes so long. How do you guys manage everything?

My husband was employed with a multi national company when he married me. And I had just started my business. Because he had business experience in the past (it had to shut down because of covid), and because it was always his dream to have a good roaring business, I told him to take the plunge, get into business with me and let's have the experience of a lifetime. And since he too is an optimist at heart like I am, he decided to take that chance. Well. Reality hit soon enough. Our business was not self sustaining and after 1.5 years, we had no option but to shut it down. We spent another 6 months trying to figure out some way to revive it. Or start another business. Nothing worked out.

I took up a job. The plan was by then he could build something of his own. Looks like we have some bad luck. Nothing is working out, not even stock market investing. We did start a YouTube channel which we Qantas to run as a business. Well the growth is slow and that takes time.

So.... with a sense of defeat, my husband is making his resume as we speak. It's a bitter moment for us. Are we accepting defeat by taking the "safe route?" Are we unworthy of the "entrepreneurial mindset" of grinding no matter what? Have we lost the game?

We have to start from scratch and everyone has gone ahead of us. That's what hurts. His brother started a business which clicked. He got the support at the right time. Somehow, his decisions all bore success. The friends who were "not brave enough" to "take the plunge" have all progressed in the corporate ladder. And now my husband and me look at each other. Having to start from scratch. With no help. No guidance. And a lurking fear that our dream of starting our own solid business will just remain a pipe dream.

Any young married couples out there looking to socialize? We married 3 years ago, have no kids and are just looking to make more friends as a couple. We stay near Kompally. Hit us up if you too are looking to socialize!

My husband is new to the city and wants to meet new people here with shared interests. He is 32, FYI, though age is not really important when it comes to meeting cool people! We are in the Kompally area of Hyderabad

My husband and I have been married for 3.5 years. God really gave me the sweetest, most loving husband. We love each other dearly. But other than having each other, none of our plans have succeeded. I had asked him to move here to my city as this has more growth potential, and my family is here. Most guys would not move but he did. I thought it was a good decision but nothing has taken off here. Our business which we started together failed. We have no friends here. We have been actively trying for a baby for 3 years and we have had no success. We are comfortable financially but... nothing is growing other than the bare minimum. Hubby got into stock investing and just as it was picking up the war turned everything upside down (our country's market has really taken a hit). We tried to start a catholic YouTube channel but the lukewarm response leaves us feeling demotivated. We go to church every Sunday, I take part in the choir. We pray. We do everything

Yet we see the ones who don't take their religion so seriously having thriving businesses and making money and having all the help and guidance and assistance needed. We have no one to guide us. God is just silent. Almost like he is indifferent to our trials even though we ask him what the next step is. Just silence. We are at a dead end. And are so discouraged

I keep posting every time I get my period, and kind people respond but for how long can I say the same thing and for how long should they respond with the same words? I was so sure I made it this month. A whole new set of symptoms. All for nothing. My brother in law's engagement is in July and all the family will be there. I dread meeting them all and having to respond to their questions. 4 years of marriage and 3 years of trying. Husband and I are sure his brother (younger by 5 years) and his new wife will conceive before us. Will be a bit of an embarrassment. I dread the future .

It's one of those low days.
