Hey! I'll be joining Alliance University this year (B.Tech IT), and my orientation is on the 27th.
I thought it'd be nice to make a few friends before college starts instead of meeting everyone on day one. If you're joining Alliance this year, feel free to comment or DM me. Doesn't matter what course you're in :)
Edit: it's onboarding and not orientation 💔🥀
How formal should we dress for the Alliance University orientation on 27th July?
I'll be attending the Alliance University orientation on 27th July, and I wanted to know how formal we're actually expected to dress.
When they say "formal," do they mean proper office-style attire (formal shirt, trousers, belt, and formal shoes), or is a plain shirt with chinos and clean shoes acceptable?
I'd really appreciate it if seniors or anyone who's attended the orientation could share what most people wore and how strict the dress code was. Thanks!
A man is starving himself for our future. We're standing in line for discounted waffles.
Read that again.
Sonam Wangchuk is risking his health for our education system, for the students we've already lost, for the ones who'll be sitting in exam halls tomorrow, and for every parent who worries about what this system has become.
Meanwhile, we're busy standing in long queues because waffles are ₹100 cheaper, refreshing football scores, arguing over celebrities, and scrolling Instagram like nothing's happening.
Yeah, football happens once a year. I get it. But this? This is about the future of an entire generation.
For over 20 days, he's survived only on water and salts, reportedly losing over 8 kg. Today, he was forcibly taken to a hospital. Whether you agree with every one of his views or not, why are the questions he's raising being met with silence?
Why hasn't Dharmendra Pradhan addressed these concerns in detail? Why hasn't the Prime Minister publicly spoken about an issue affecting millions of students? Why does asking questions feel harder than getting answers?
And before someone turns this into another political fight—this isn't about Hindu vs Muslim. This isn't about BJP vs Congress. This isn't about Left vs Right. This is about students. Education. Accountability. THIS IS ABOUT OUR FUCKING COUNTRY. ITS ABOUT OUR INDIA.
Tomorrow, if another student breaks under pressure or another family is shattered, we'll all ask, "How did this happen?" But we don't get to act surprised if we ignored it while it was happening.
When someone chose to fight, we chose convenience. When someone chose sacrifice, we chose entertainment. When someone risked his own health to demand accountability, most of us just looked away.
If we can't even come together for something as basic as the lives and future of our students, then what the fuck are we actually united for?
Wake the fuck up.
I know posting on Reddit won't change much, but I genuinely feel helpless.
Watching Sonam Wangchuk continue his hunger strike and seeing reports about his deteriorating health makes me wonder how we've reached a point where someone has to risk their life just to be heard.
Whether you agree with every demand he has made or not, no citizen should have to push themselves to this extent to get the government's attention.
What frustrates me most is the silence. Where are the people responsible for addressing these concerns? Why does it feel like this situation is being allowed to drag on until it becomes irreversible?
I wish there were more ordinary people like me could do beyond sharing information and raising awareness. Seeing someone sacrifice their health for a cause while feeling powerless to help is honestly heartbreaking.
I just hope this ends with dialogue and action not another tragedy that everyone regrets only after it's too late.
On November 1, 2025, 9-year-old Amaira Meena, a Class 4 student at Neerja Modi School in Jaipur, died by suicide after jumping from the fourth floor of her school.
CCTV footage reportedly showed that in the 45 minutes before her death, she approached her teacher five separate times for help. She was ignored every single time.
According to her family, Amaira had been bullied for around 18 months. Her classmates allegedly used abusive, derogatory, and even sexual language against her.
Let that sink in.
Class 4 children.
Her mother repeatedly complained to the school, but instead of addressing the bullying, she says they were told to "adjust."
After Amaira's death, the system failed her again.
For months, no FIR was registered. When one was eventually filed, the school management and owners were reportedly not included in the chargesheet, and weaker sections of the law were applied. CBSE initially took strong action against the school, but that decision was later reversed following political and legal pressure.
Today, the school continues to operate.
Only two teachers were suspended.
The students who allegedly bullied her have moved on.
Amaira never got that chance.
This wasn't just a tragedy. It was a failure of adults, institutions, and a system that was supposed to protect a child.
If even a 9-year-old can ask for help five times and still be ignored, what does that say about us?
Welcome to India.

Hey everyone, posting this urgently for a close friend.
A guy is blackmailing her on WhatsApp from an Indian number using AI-morphed/fake explicit photos. He is threatening to send them to her father unless she sends real nudes.
CRITICAL CONTEXT: We absolutely CANNOT involve the police, and her family cannot find out. If her father hears about this, he will force her to stop her education and get her married off immediately.
We need fast, private solutions:
How can we take down or block these images across platforms completely anonymously? (We are looking into StopNCII).
Are there any trusted cyber NGOs or private experts in India who handle extortion cases strictly confidentially without reporting to authorities?
What is the best way to cut him off so he realizes he has no leverage and gives up?
Please, only private/technical advice. No suggestions to go to the cops or parents. Thank you.

I've been noticing this a lot lately.
Whenever a shocking crime happens, it doesn't take long before people start making memes, jokes, or sarcastic reels about it. I've seen it happen in cases involving both men and women as victims, and I genuinely don't understand it.
When did we become so desensitized that someone's tragedy became content?
You don't have to like the victim. You don't have to know them personally. But they're still a human being, and their family has to live with what happened.
What bothers me even more is the inconsistency. Many people who rightly call out jokes about one type of victim will laugh at jokes when the victim belongs to another group.
Shouldn't our standard be the same regardless of who the victim is?
To me, a crime is a crime. A victim is a victim. If we condemn people for making jokes about one tragedy, we should condemn it across the board.
Am I overthinking this, or has social media made us way too comfortable turning real suffering into entertainment?

Yaar, I am an 18M and honestly, I just wanna get married eventually and be a biwi paglu. I know I'm young, but I don't care about looking like a "cool guy" or keeping up some detached modern dating dynamic. I just want someone who I can adore all day, lay on her lap while she rants about life, her annoying coworker, or literally just the weather. I want to cherish her and be cherished back. Yaar, I wanna love her and be loved every day and night, that would be soo filmy and romantic 😭😭.
And let's clear one thing up right now: I don't mean being submissive, and I definitely don't want her to be submissive either. No one is over each other, no power plays, and no toxic dynamics. It’s just pure equality and pure love. We are a team, completely equal, but I just happen to be absolutely obsessed with her, and I know she’s got that exact same energy for me.
Mujhe itna biwi paglu hona hai ki log dekhe aur bole ki "woh dekh joru ka gulam." Honestly? That will be a proud moment for me, even if they say it as an insult! I mean, kya bura hai yaar apni biwi ki chinta aur khayal rakhna? Fuck all these outdated social norms. What is so wrong with actively making your wife's life easier? What is so uncool about making sure she’s fed, happy, and feels like the center of someone's universe? If loving my wife out loud and treating her as my equal partner makes me a gulam to society, then I am signing that contract today.
Imagine coming home from work after the worst, most soul crushing day. Your boss was breathing down your neck, traffic was a nightmare, and your energy is at absolute zero. You unlock the door and find your wife on the couch with her arms open. You just dive in, bury your face in her shoulder, and boom pure din ki thakan gayab. Melted away in five seconds flat. And on the days she comes home exhausted? I'm doing the exact same for her.
That is the kind of high effort, pure romance I want. No games, no keeping score, just pure adoration between two equals.
Am I crazy for wanting this, Reddit? Or are there more guys out there who just want to throw away all this "alpha" nonsense and be a soft, devoted partner?
I am an 18M who recently started driving a car (yes, I got my permanent license legally). I need to get this off my chest because I am honestly pissed off by how these BMTC drivers—especially the ones driving the new electric buses—act like they own the asphalt.
I mean, autos and two-wheelers cutting in is understandable to an extent; they are small and can fit between gaps. But a massive, heavy-duty bus? They drive with zero care for anyone else on the road. It feels like their only goal in life is to reach the next stop at any cost, even if it means running everyone else off the road.
Here is a list of absolute nonsense they pull every single day that drives me insane:
The Sudden Three-Lane Drift: They will be cruising in the right-most overtaking lane, realize their bus stop is 10 meters away, and aggressively cut across three lanes of traffic without a single indicator. If you don't slam on your brakes, you're done for.
Stopping Wherever They Please: Instead of pulling completely into the dedicated bus bays, they just stop dead in the middle of a moving lane to drop off passengers, completely choking up the entire road behind them.
The Air Horn Bullying: If you are slowing down for a pothole or a speed breaker, they will tailgate you and blast those deafening horns until your ears ring, trying to intimidate you into moving out of their way.
Squeezing into Impossible Gaps: They try to maneuver these giant electric buses like they're driving an Activa, squeezing into tight gaps at intersections and expecting everyone else to just magically evaporate.
To make matters worse, my uncle recently bought a brand new Mahindra XUV 7XO. Literally not even a week into owning it, a BMTC bus driver scraped past it, caused a massive dent and scratch on the side, and didn't even bother to stop. He just hit the accelerator and drove away like nothing happened because he knows nobody can stop a government bus.
I am so fkin pissed! Driving here is already stressful enough with the traffic and potholes, but these bus drivers make it a literal survival sport. Anyone else losing their mind dealing with them?
I’ll start.I am 18M, Today some relatives pulled up to my house completely unannounced. I was already in the kitchen, probably looking like a mess, just minding my own business making dinner.
My aunt walks in, smells the food, and straight up takes a bite right out of the pan.
I was lowkey nervous she’d judge it, but her eyes went wide and she looked at me dead serious and said, "Your future wife is gonna be damn lucky."
Bro, I’m not even gonna lie, my face instantly caught fire. I’ve been walking around the house blushing like a total idiot for the last hour. It’s crazy how much a random comment can instantly boost your confidence.
What about you guys? What’s that one compliment you received that you'll never forget?
This Siya case has been on my mind for days.
Not just because of the crime itself, but because of what it revealed about how we react to people depending on who they are.
If the allegations are true, then the people responsible should be punished. That's not complicated. Murder is wrong. Betrayal is wrong. No amount of justification changes that.
But what has bothered me is seeing some people rush to defend, excuse, or downplay the actions of the accused simply because she is a woman.
And at the same time, I've seen entire genders blamed for the actions of individuals.
I want to be honest about something.
I understand why many women are cautious around men.
I understand why women think about safety when walking alone at night, meeting strangers, or being around someone they don't know well.
The reality is that some men have done terrible things. Women have every right to protect themselves. I don't deny that, and I never will.
But here's what hurts.
I know who I am.
I know I would never hurt a woman.
I know I would never assault someone, abuse someone, or take advantage of someone.
And there are millions of men who can say the exact same thing.
So when people say "all men are the same," those words don't just hit criminals.
They hit the son who respects his mother.
They hit the brother who protects his sister.
They hit the friend who would never cross a line.
They hit ordinary men who spend their lives trying to be decent human beings.
Imagine being judged for something you never did.
Imagine being viewed with suspicion because of crimes committed by people you've never met.
Imagine being told you're part of the problem simply because you share the same gender as someone who did something evil.
That's what many innocent men feel.
And before anyone misunderstands me, this isn't about ignoring women's struggles.
It's about asking for the same fairness in return.
Hold criminals accountable.
Support victims.
Condemn evil.
But stop blaming entire groups for the actions of individuals.
The same principle applies to gender, religion, race, nationality, and everything else.
A criminal should answer for their crimes.
An innocent person should not answer for someone else's.
If equality means anything, it means applying the same standards to everyone.
Not the standards we use when it's convenient.
The same standards.
Every time.
For everyone.
Hey everyone,
I'm 18 and started investing recently. My portfolio value is around ₹4.2k and currently I'm down about 7.7%.
Some of my holdings are IRFC, ITC, Power Grid, Suzlon, Vodafone Idea, Modefence, MO Energy, Groww Rail ETF, Nifty 50 ETF, and Ugar Sugar.
My goal is long-term wealth creation, and I'm trying to learn stock investing while putting in small amounts whenever I can. I know the portfolio is small, but I'd appreciate feedback on whether I'm making beginner mistakes.
Questions:
Which holdings would you keep, add more to, or exit?
Am I over-diversified for a ₹4k portfolio?
Should I focus more on ETFs instead of individual stocks?
What would you do differently if you were starting with a similar amount?
Please be brutally honest. I'm here to learn and improve.
Thanks!
