I've lived my whole life in raipur, did my Schooling and now college but never had proper friends like the ones to go shopping , movies or hangout with someone. I’m looking to change that now and meet some chill, genuine people who are up for grabbing coffee, going out for food, exploring the city and make genuine connections which feels forever. I’m not necessarily looking for a huge group just a few people with whom I can actually become friends with.

If you’re also in Raipur and looking to meet new people please connect.

Is interning at the Supreme Court/High Court actually advantageous in 1st years. I am wondering whether I should actually use those connections at this stage to be early in race or whether I’d learn more by applying independently to law firms, chambers, NGOs, district courts.

If yes what difficulties one might face and if no how to send assignments in word format after it.

Lately, I've been noticing a trend where people treat the legal profession as a dumping ground. The mindset seems to be I Couldn't crack NEET or JEE so I'll switch to law. ( We need some serious screening before letting these kinda people enter elite institutions)

​

No offense to those who genuinely discover a passion for law later in life but sudden career changes are concerning . Choosing law simply because another path didn't work out feels disrespectful to a profession that demands its own dedication and years of rigorous study

​

Law isn't your consolation prize. It's a noble profession with immense responsibility. Treating it as a fallback undermines the value of the profession and the commitment of those who chose it intentionally.

Guys, I'm looking for information on Environmental Law because I have grown up seeing the effects of climate change, illegal poaching, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation. However, when I look at the Great Nicobar Project and the continuing loss of forest cover regions like Abujhmad. It sometimes feels like environmental concerns are not given enough priority and it's doomed to be here.

My goal is to work on environmental policy, climate governance, conservation, or international environmental law, preferably with organizations based in Geneva or other international hubs (UN agencies, IUCN, WWF, UNEP-related bodies, etc.).

Please tell me what internship to target and what all to publish to get directly placed there?

Growing up watching Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and wildlife documentaries. I've felt drawn towards Florida. I've been amazed by the fact that alligators and crocodiles co-exist and are a normal part of your lives. Although , I'm from the Himalayan foothills of India and have our own crocodiles as well as our own gator species "the gharial" which is freshwater species.

I've never had the opportunity to see an alligator in its natural habitat and experiencing that firsthand has been on my bucket list for years. As someone fascinated by nature and wildlife what parts of Florida offer the most unforgettable experiences?

I'd love to hear from Floridians about the remote parts like forgotten towns, vast swamps or boathouses for tourists where I can observe them naturally. I'm looking for places for real life experience where swarms of aggressive crocs and gators may attack your houses and break windows for thrill seeking or they try to submerge my boathouse and I use my lifeboat and sail across river with gators behind me for thrill seeking (With proper safety equipment).

Also, My parents would probably never agree to me visiting Florida solely for wildlife tourism but they might agree if I pursue Higher Education in florida and also experience wildlife side by side.

Growing up watching Discovery Channel and wildlife documentaries. I've always felt fascinated by Australia. It seems like one of the few places on Earth where biodiversity is still incredibly rich and in many areas relatively untouched. Ever since I was a kid I've dreamed of Australian wildlife in person,kangaroos hopping, open landscapes, emus wandering, platypuses, colorful parrots and even some of the famous spiders.

I'd love to ask my Aussie folks about the truly remote and untouched parts of Australia. Are there places where hardly anyone lives or small towns surrounded by dangerous wild animals casually strolling through farms. I'm searching for dangerous towns for thrill seeking where random hurricanes or cyclones blow up houses or places where the swarm of Sydney funnel spider attack houses for thrill seeking.

Lastly, How is Higher Education for students in Australia? Which field of study has scope? In today's polarized world, I wonder if I will be Accepted as part of society as I really want to enjoy these things while studying.

I recently finished "The Boroughs" and I was hooked from the moment I saw the trailer. The involvement of the Duffer Brothers was one of the reasons I decided to give it a shot and the premise immediately caught my attention because it felt fresh and different from most shows I've watched.The idea of a retirement community being terrorized by creatures that feed on people's cerebrospinal fluid.

It did a great job making me care about elderly characters and highlighting their regrets and struggles. That's something we don't see very often in horror or sci-fi series. But, I feel like the season had a lot of missed opportunities. There were several storylines and mysteries introduced that weren't explored. The ending was probably my biggest disappointment. I expected a bigger confrontation regarding the monsters and more secrets regarding the town to be blown.

I somehow think the show was made in Haste and fast manner. I just wish they make season 2 with much proper analysis.

Question for others-

1.Did anyone else feel that the middle episodes dragged?

2. Was the mother storyline necessary or could it have been removed?

Would love to hear your opinion?

Ever since I was a child I've felt an unusually deep connection to America. What has always inspired me most is the idea of kindness, politeness, compassion, mutual respect, and the belief that anyone regardless of where they come from can achieve their version of the American Dream. People sometimes tell me that I've adopted American values but it never felt that way. These beliefs seem intrinsic to who I am. I feel like I was American in spirit.

I feel nostalgic listening to old American songs. Take Me Home, Country Roads makes me long for a home in West Virginia that I've never actually seen. Songs like American Pie, Piano Man, Sweet Caroline, Hotel California, Born in the U.S.A etc. I like America so much that I eat, sleep, talk, and walk in America. I've been an enthusiast of Hollywood blockbusters, American music, fast food, sports, and pop culture.

Shows like Friends, HIMYM, Everwood etc and movies like Dead poets society resonates with me. I've also always admired America's great institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Princeton, Yale, as the pinnacle of human achievement, scholarship, innovation, and intellectual curiosity. Like countless students around the world, I dreamed of studying at places like Harvard or Stanford.

Do you think it's possible for someone like me to someday move to America as a student, fall in with someone and build a life there and truly be accepted as one of its own? I would love to hear my American buddies insights considering times like this.

I recently watched a documentary about the British countryside with its beautiful cottages, lush green forests, rolling hills, and charming villages. I haven't been able to stop thinking about visiting a place that feels like it's straight out of Narnia.

I'm looking for recommendations for rural areas with very low population density, traditional British farm life, mountains, and plenty of biodiversity. I love the idea of staying in a remote cottage surrounded by nature with traditional stone houses, sheep-covered hills, ancient pubs, church bells in the distance and misty mornings.

I'm also looking for thrill seeking places like strong hurricanes blowing houses or being able to glance at big cats like strolling nearby farms. Ultimately, I want to experience the countryside charm.

Guys I'm going to give the Delf A1 examination next month.

I'm just curious and tensed of how difficult it might be to pass with decent marks. I've been learning french since last 3 months but I've been pretty not serious. I sometimes get lost in translation or mispel things. I practice from a "Le DELF 100% réussite A1" pdf. I haven't even completed half of the exercise. Could you please guide me with your experiences. Also is youtube videos for A1 practice exam enough.

French, German, Spanish, or Mandarin which one actually helps in a law career? I’ve heard that the International Court of Justice uses French as one of its official working languages. A lot of European Union institutions also heavily use French. German is useful for EU corporate law. Spanish has a massive global utility and Mandarin is valuable for international trade/business law.

Google says NLUs (eg-RML, HNLU, NLUO, NLUI) etc cost around ₹10–15L, but realistically what should be the highest limit parents should keep in mind? Fees after hostel, mess, internship, moot, random university charges & yearly hikes.

For this much money + cracking a NATIONAL level exam + studying 5 years, shouldn’t the majority of students(70-80%) at least get placed in good national/international firms or companies? The fact that we’re studying in a national institution itself should get you solid job opportunities like it does in many other countries, but apparently not here 🤡.

Biggest joke is first 1–2 years are mostly BA subjects taught by subpar teachers 😭

Imagine paying lakhs to study arts subjects from PPT slides.

Feels like everyone has accepted this status quo. These institutions act the same as lords collecting heavy taxes from poor peasants.

I’m about to begin my journey at a National Law School, and one of my biggest goals is to eventually build an international legal career. However, I’m honestly confused about the current state of the legal market here. Even after the "BCI" allowing foreign law firms to establish offices in India, I still don’t really hear about international firms actively hiring Indian graduates, even from top law schools. Does anyone know why this is the case?

What surprises me even more is that there doesn’t seem to be much collective demand, or pressure from law students regarding this issue. Students in other fields actively push for better global opportunities, foreign recruiters, and industry reforms. But in law, despite being such a respected and influential profession there seems to be acceptance of the status quo.

I understand that historically the legal profession has been for Elite people Still, I feel that profession itself should evolve and become more internationally connected in this era of globalization.

So I wanted to ask-

1.Do you think the Indian legal market will meaningfully change in the next 5 years regarding foreign firms and international opportunities?

2.What skills should a law student focus on if they want global/abroad career opportunities in law?

I’ve been a loner since the pandemic. Everyone I used to call friends drifted away, and now I can’t even think of someone I could truly call a friend or someone who’d even take me to the hospital if I got into an accident.

I feel really tense about it. Certain experiences in school pushed me into becoming introverted, but I want to open up again and be more free and social.

Ever since childhood, I have felt a deep connection to English and British values, as if they were an intrinsic part of me. I deeply admire English manners, etiquette, politeness, and compassion. The calmness in the culture of saying “please,” “thank you,” and treating others with courtesy, regardless of status, has always deeply inspired me. Historical aristocracy and the traditions of nobility, honour, formal conduct, refined speech, old estates, academic excellence, and the deep respect for heritage and institutions.

My natural preferences from food to clothing have always leaned toward "English". I walk, talk, eat and sleep in English. People around me have often criticised me for adopting what they call “outsider values” or for not being patriotic enough. However, I never believed in pretending to embrace values that did not feel natural to me.

Although I come from a Commonwealth nation and the English left nearly a century ago, with little trace of them, I still feel a strong and natural connection to Britain, almost as if I belonged there in another life. I may not have a natural British accent, but I am actively learning and improving it. I watch British shows like downtown abbey, Outlander, peaky blinders etc to understand "Brits culture".

One of my greatest aspirations is not only to study in England, but also to truly experience Great Britain in its traditions, academic culture, countryside, literature, architecture, history, and way of life. So, I would love your opinion on how to fulfil my wish .
