Applied for an internship recently.

A few hours later, I got a response.

"Congratulations! You've been shortlisted."

Then came the next message:

"Please submit a registration fee of Rs. 1,000."

At this point, I'm genuinely confused.I was applying for an internship.Not buying concert tickets.

Students are already paying for:

-university fees

-certifications

-internet

-transportation

Now apparently we're paying to work as well?

Some of these opportunities even advertise themselves as a pathway to a future remote full-time role. Which is funny because usually when someone wants work done, they pay the worker.Not the other way around.And honestly, we need to start calling this out more often.

Whether it's "registration fees", "processing fees", "verification fees", or whatever creative name gets invented next week, students shouldn't be treated like customers in the job market.

While we're at it, unpaid internships deserve a serious conversation too.

The cost of living keeps rising.

Inflation isn't exactly taking a day off. Yet somehow we're still expected to believe that months of unpaid work is a reasonable opportunity.

Experience is valuable.

But so is a student's time.

Guys i have a doubt, is terminal 1 open in Mumbai for public travelling to their destination??

Because I remember reading the news saying it is closed for renovation and will open in 2029/30.

Also, is there any lounge in T1? Because last time when I visited I was searching for the lounge and i couldn't see.

If yes then could you tell me where it is?

A friend who works at a recording studio calls the protagonist and gives him an opportunity to perform for a music director or producer over a laptop video call. Nervous but determined, he plays his guitar and presents his composition, but the person on the call is not fully satisfied and asks him to try again. He repeatedly restarts, making small changes and playing the piece over and over, refusing to give up until he finally delivers a version that impresses the listener and earns their approval.

Pls tell me the movie name if y'all know, otherwise my head is gonna blast 😭

Hello guys, There’s this female friend of mine whom I’ve known for more than 4 years now. Over time, our friendship became something very genuine and deeply built on trust. She went through an extremely difficult phase in life, and during those moments, I simply tried my best to be there for her — not expecting anything in return, just as a good friend… almost like a brother she could rely on.

Since 2022, she had been living with her grandmother here, and I had visited her grandmother’s house a couple of times before. Recently, though, her family shifted back, and because of her dad’s job, they now manage between two homes that are around 20 km apart. Even though her parents already knew a lot about me through her, I had never actually met them in person till now.

A few days ago, they invited me over to their house since they had newly shifted. Coincidentally, at the same time, I was vacating my hostel. Due to some last-minute formalities, I needed a place to stay for one night before leaving the next day. So, after thinking for a while, I asked my friend if it would be okay.

When I reached their home, we spent time talking and getting comfortable. After a while, her mother casually suggested that instead of roaming around and struggling outside, I should just stay there for the night and leave the next morning.

Honestly… I was stunned.

As an Indian guy, staying overnight at a female friend’s house is something that feels almost unimaginable in many situations. I even asked again just to confirm if they were really okay with it. And they genuinely were.

That moment hit me emotionally in a way I didn’t expect.

Later, while speaking to my friend, I told her something from the heart — that hearing someone say “my parents trust you” feels good, but actually experiencing that trust in real life feels completely different. It felt like I had achieved something priceless.

And then she told me something that shook me even more emotionally.

Apparently, her father once didn’t allow even his own wife’s sister’s fiancé to stay at their house because he said, “I have two girl children at home; it wouldn’t feel right.” But the same man trusted me enough to let me stay there without hesitation.

I genuinely didn’t know how to react after hearing that.

That level of trust is not something small. Especially coming from the parents of a female friend. It made me realize that trust isn’t built in a day — it’s built quietly through years of actions, respect, intentions, and consistency.

And honestly, that feeling is priceless.

Now, more than happiness, I feel a sense of responsibility. To always protect this trust. To always make sure she feels safe having me in her life. Because friendships like this are rare, and people like her are truly beautiful to have in life.

I’m still overwhelmed thinking about it all.

Have any of you ever experienced a moment where someone’s trust in you made you feel emotional or changed the way you saw yourself?.

(Sorry if my text was boring but I had to express it and thank you guys who made it till the end of the post)

Hey guys, I'm currently a master's student here and I want to vacate the hostel and stay with my local guardian.

Currently my parents cannot come because of war tensions in the middle East, so i was planning to ask my local guardian to come to complete the procedure.

What is the procedure to be done? If anyone knows the procedure pls let me know
