(South-East) Why Eruvaka Punnami still matters in rural India

(South-East) Why Eruvaka Punnami still matters in rural India

Eruvaka Punnami is a traditional Telugu farming festival that marks the beginning of plowing season.

Farmers decorate oxen, honor the land, and pray for rain and a good harvest.

It’s a reminder that farming is treated like a sacred duty, not just work.

In a time when many of us are far from agriculture, this feels like a strong reminder of where our food actually begins.

Do farming festivals like this still have meaning in your region, or are they slowly disappearing?

Full moon over the city

Shot this from a higher viewpoint on mobile at night. I liked the contrast between the cool blue skyline, the warm building lights, and the moon holding the frame together.

Through the Fence, Into the Calm

The fence was not a distraction, it became the foreground texture. I kept the net visible, used the tree as a natural frame, and balanced the city line with the reflection across the water.

Golden hour frames by the lake | Shot on Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra [OC]

Shot these during golden hour — loved the birds, reflections, and calm lakeside mood.

Feedback welcome.

Golden-hour

Shot this on mobile during a harsh golden-hour backlight, where the scene was less about a perfect sun and more about the way the flare cut through the frame. I kept the foreground leaves as silhouettes to anchor the image, let the birds add scale, and balanced the water highlights without killing the glow. The skyline is imperfect but real, which is what made the moment worth keeping.

Where do Product Owners find global remote Al product roles?

Hi everyone,

​

I’m a Product Owner / product-delivery professional based in India with 8+ years of experience. I’m exploring a move toward AI Product Owner or AI Product roles.

​

I’m trying to build a focused list of credible places to search and apply, especially for global remote roles that are open to candidates outside the US. I’m also open to part-time, contract, or consulting roles, ideally paid in USD.

​

For those who’ve searched in this space, what platforms or job boards have actually worked for you?

​

I’m especially interested in:

​

- Product-focused job boards

- AI product role listings

- Global remote platforms, not US-only remote

- Keywords or filters that help find better matches

- Red flags to check before applying

​

Not asking for referrals or DMs — just looking for practical advice and credible sources.

​

Thanks.

Indian PMs/POs: where do you find global remote Al Product roles?

Hi everyone,

​

I’m based in India and have 8+ years of experience across product / delivery. I’m now exploring a move toward AI Product Owner or AI Product roles.

​

I’m looking for practical advice from Indian PMs/POs who have applied for global remote roles or contract opportunities.

​

What are the best places to find:

​

- AI Product Owner / AI PM roles

- Global remote roles open to candidates from India

- Part-time, contract, or consulting product roles

- Roles that pay in USD while allowing work from India

​

Also, what should I check before applying — payment terms, contract type, timezone expectations, tax/compliance, or any red flags?

​

Not looking for referrals or DMs — just trying to build a credible list of platforms, job boards, and search keywords that actually work.

​

Thanks in advance.

Best job boards for Product Owner / Al Product roles with global remote options?

Hi everyone,

​

I’m looking for practical recommendations on where to find Product Owner, Product Manager, and AI Product roles.

​

I have 8+ years of experience and I’m currently exploring a move into AI Product Owner / AI Product roles. I’m based in India and interested in global remote opportunities where I can work from anywhere, ideally with USD compensation.

​

I’m open to full-time, part-time, contract, or consulting roles.

​

I’d appreciate suggestions on:

​

- Product-focused job boards or communities

- Sites that list true global remote roles, not only US-based remote roles

- Platforms where AI Product Owner / AI PM roles are commonly posted

- Search keywords or filters that work well

- Red flags to check before applying for global remote roles

​

Not looking to solicit anyone directly — just trying to build a focused list of credible places to apply and learn what has worked for others.

​

Thanks in advance.

Rain on the window, city on the move

Shot this from inside a moving bus during a rainy night ride. I liked how the window became the main subject instead of just a barrier, the raindrops held the foreground while the wet road, headlights, and city signs created layers behind it.

Looking for guidance from someone who has built, scaled, or exited a startup

Hi everyone,

​

I’m looking for guidance from someone who has already walked the startup path - ideally a founder, operator, NRI founder, SaaS builder, or mentor who has built, scaled, or exited a company.

​

Recently, I came across a few founders in their 30s and 40s who built companies and had meaningful exits. That really opened my eyes. It made me feel that if I start now, especially with the rise of AI, there is a real opportunity to build something valuable.

​

I’m particularly interested in AI, Micro-SaaS, and practical software businesses that solve real problems. I don’t want to build only for hype. I want to learn how to find the right problem, validate ideas, build an MVP, get early users, price properly, sell, scale, create employment, and eventually build a company that can create real value.

​

The pain point is this: I don’t want to stay uncertain about the job market or depend only on degrees like an MBA to give me direction. I’m willing to work hard, validate ideas, build consistently, and struggle through the process. What I feel is missing is clear guidance from someone who has already done it.

​

I’m not looking for shortcuts, funding, or a job. I’m looking for honest direction - what to focus on, what mistakes to avoid, how to think like a founder, and how to move from ideas to execution.

​

If any Telugu-speaking founders, NRIs, SaaS builders, exited entrepreneurs, operators, or experienced mentors are open to a short conversation or occasional guidance, I’d be very grateful.

​

Thank you.
