Hi everyone,

I'm currently in a very difficult financial situation and could really use some advice.

I'm a recent graduate and have started working, but I'm still in the middle of my observation process, so I honestly don't know when I'll become financially stable. Right now, I have some urgent financial commitments, and I need around ₹5,000–₹6,000 by tomorrow.

Because of this, I'm considering selling my iPad (11th Generation). Cashify has offered me ₹22,000, and I wanted to ask whether that's actually a fair price.

I understand that platforms like Cashify usually offer less than what you might get from selling privately, but since I need the money urgently, I'm wondering if accepting the offer makes sense.

The difficult part is that I genuinely love my iPad. It wasn't an easy decision to list it for sale, and I'm honestly quite emotional about having to let it go. If I had any other practical option to arrange the money, I wouldn't even think about selling it.

So I have two questions:

Is ₹22,000 a fair price for an iPad 11th Gen through Cashify?

Given that I need the money by tomorrow, is there any better alternative that I should consider?

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Okay so ,I recently got selected for a job and, before receiving a formal offer, I have to complete a short observation/training period where my performance will be evaluated. From what I've been told, attendance and commitment during this phase are taken seriously, so taking leave isn't really an option.

The dilemma is that my girlfriend's birthday falls right in the middle of this observation period. Last year, she had a particularly bad birthday due to circumstances involving a previous relationship, and I've always wanted to make sure this year's birthday feels special for her.

Because of my work schedule, It is quite possible I won't be able to spend much time with her on the actual day. One idea I had was to politely ask HR if I could log out a couple of hours early on that specific day so I could take her out for dinner afterward. I'd still work most of the day and complete my responsibilities.

However a genuine fear hovers that since there is strict no leave policy during the observation period, It might create a negative impression during a period when I'm essentially being assessed for the role.

If the request isn't approved, I could celebrate with her after the observation period ends, but part of me feels that birthdays are different from other occasions and that the actual day carries emotional significance.

I'm really scared that will it seriously affect the dynamics of a couple

What would you do in my position?

Ask for the early logout and hope for the best?

Avoid making any special requests and celebrate later?

Is there another approach I'm not considering?

I'd appreciate perspectives from people who have been through probationary or observation periods at work, as well as from those in long-term relationships.

Ps: I hope you guys remember I was asking for gift suggestions yesterday :)

I’m a college student M 23 looking for part-time or remote work opportunities to support my expenses. I already worked in internships during the last academic year and I’m open to freelance tasks, internships, or beginner-friendly remote roles that I can start right away.

Here are my Skills:

Good communication skills

Basic data analysis and MS Excel

Content writing (posts, captions, descriptions)

Online research and information organization

Fluent English, German

Experienced in BPO as well

I’m a quick learner, serious about work, and preferably looking for non-technical roles.

Even opportunities around ₹10-15k/month would really help.

If you know of any openings or freelance work, please let me know.

Please help me out ! Recently I purchased an account from a dealer which my brother suggested me . Now due to some urgent need of money I decided to sell the account to the same dealer. However I found that the dealer is not safe and had scammed with a lot of people.

Now the main part - The dealer asked me email and password, I changed the password so that he don't get the access and now he is telling me to give the email id

I have turn 2 factor authentication on , so is my email account in which I am using my Konami id actually safe ? Considering he will not be able to access my email ID since 2 factor authentication is on ?

Need some suggestions from Kolkata people for good places to go with my partner, preferably around ghats or riverside areas.

Because of this unbearable Kolkata heat, we mostly prefer going out during the evening or late afternoon. I’m mainly looking for peaceful places where we can just sit, talk, walk around a little, maybe watch the sunset, that kind of vibe.

Would especially love suggestions for:

- Ghats around North Kolkata

- Riverside spots with a calm atmosphere

- Places that don’t feel overly crowded or chaotic

- Affordable cafés/restaurants nearby where two people can eat without spending too much

Not really looking for anything super fancy or Instagram-type places. Just somewhere comforting to spend quality time together.

Would appreciate genuine recommendations :)

Tomorrow is probably the last real day of my college life, and I genuinely don’t know how to process it.

I’m a BCA student, and after tomorrow’s exam, my 3 years in college will officially come to an end. Technically, convocation will happen later, but this feels like the actual ending because there’s only one exam left now.

When I first joined college, I was someone who loved talking to people, making connections, maintaining good vibes, and just enjoying life. Because of that, I ended up making a lot of friends during my first year itself. But over time, I realized something important college isn’t really about having many friends. It’s about finding your people, So I started to shrink my friend circle to only those who actually cared for me

And somehow, I got lucky.

A small friend group of 5 of us formed during the first semester of first year, and even after all these years, we’re still together. That’s honestly one of the best things college gave me. They became a huge part of my everyday life, and now the thought that all of us will slowly move in different directions feels heartbreaking.

Some of us will go for jobs, some for higher studies. Even I’m currently trying for MCA while also looking for placements both on-campus and off-campus. Life is slowly moving into that phase where everyone gets busy with their own struggles and responsibilities.

And I think that’s what scares me the most.

Not the end of college itself, but the realization that things will never again be the way they are right now. The random canteen talks, waiting outside exam halls together, roasting each other daily, making plans after class , can't believe all of it is suddenly becoming “memories.”

I know friendships don’t completely disappear overnight, but realistically, things change. People change. Priorities change. And I don’t really know how to deal with that emotionally.

For people who’ve already graduated:

- How did you cope with this phase?

- Did your college friendships survive?

- How did you approach life after graduation?

- And if you pursued MCA or higher studies, how did you mentally prepare yourself for that next chapter?

I’d genuinely appreciate any advice.
