Hey, I’m Max, 18, from India. Just finished high school… and yeah, I’m giving this another shot.

I tried making friends here and even on my country’s apps, but it didn’t really work out. So I thought, why not try again — this time looking for an online international best friend.

I’m not here for those dry “hey wyd” conversations that die in 2 days.

I’m looking for something real — that effortless, comfortable best-friend kind of connection where we actually talk daily, share random thoughts, hype each other up, and it just feels natural… like a real-life friendship.

A bit about me:

I’m really into Formula 1 and motorsports (honestly, it’s basically my personality at this point). I also train in Taekwondo and go to the gym regularly, so fitness is a big part of my life.

Apart from that, I’m into music, movies, sitcoms — anything entertaining, as long as it’s actually good.

I’ve posted before, but this time I actually mean it —

I’m looking for something long-term. Something that doesn’t just fade after a week.

If you:

can hold real conversations (not just one-word replies)

are into sports/fitness or just passionate about something

want a genuine friend, not just timepass

then feel free to DM me.

Let’s see if we vibe.

Hey! I’ve got my last exam coming up, and after 21st May I’ll finally be free. I’m 18, and I’m looking to meet people around my age to hang out and explore Mumbai.

Thinking of stuff like Marine Drive, cafés, Colaba, street food, chill walks, maybe some photography—nothing too hectic, just good vibes.

If you’re also done with exams or just wanna get out and meet new people, hit me up or drop a comment. Would be nice to make some new friends and actually do something instead of staying at home :)

Hey everyone,

I’m considering taking a drop and appearing for my 12th boards again next year.

I wanted to ask—do I have to redo all the practical exams, vivas, and journal submissions as well? Or do previous marks get carried forward in some way?

My_qualifications: I scored 58.67% in my 12th (HSC, PCM) and 70.6% in 10th (CBSE). I know these aren’t great, and honestly it’s because I didn’t put in enough effort back then—not because I can’t handle academics.

I’ll most likely end up doing BTech CSE from a tier 2–3 college in India. But I’m serious about turning things around and aiming for a strong master’s abroad, especially in Europe (ETH Zurich, Aalto University, or top German TUs).

My question is: will my current academic profile permanently hurt my chances, or can I realistically make up for it during my bachelor’s (GPA, projects, internships, etc.)?

Would really appreciate honest advice, especially from people who’ve been in a similar situation or have applied abroad.

Hey, I’m Max. 17. Just finished high school… and yeah, I’m trying this one more time.

Hey, I know this might be a bit unusual, but I’ve always found it easier to connect with people who are a bit older and more mature.

I’m, just finished high school, and I’m looking for genuine, long-term friendships — not just quick chats that fade out.

I’m into Formula 1 and motorsports, I train in Taekwondo, and I’m consistent with the gym, so fitness is a big part of my life. Outside of that, I enjoy music, movies, sitcoms — pretty much anything entertaining if it’s actually good.

I like conversations that feel real — where you can talk about your day, random thoughts, deeper stuff, or just vibe without it feeling forced.

I’m not here for anything weird — just looking for a solid friendship with someone mature, easygoing, and consistent.

If you’re someone who enjoys meaningful conversations and wants a long-term friend, feel free to DM me.

So I’m buying a used Sony Handycam XR160 (160GB) from a guy I found on Reddit. We’re meeting in person since he lives in the same city.

I already asked if he has the charger and he said yes. I don’t know much about handycams, but I’ve always wanted one and I’m getting this for a pretty good price, so I’m excited to buy it.

Before I go, what things should I check/test on the camera?

Any common issues with old Sony Handycams?

Also are there any accessories I should ask him about besides the charger? (battery, cables, memory card, bag, etc.)

Basically just looking for advice before buying a used handycam for the first time.
