Hello, I am 20 M studying in Falmouth university. I have realized by the end of first year, My mental health is way better when I am in india. I also do want to work in Indian film industry. However, i returned back to the UK for my second year in film school to give it one more shot before making a concrete decision. The only reason I came back was because of extreme convincing from friends and family to have a degree no matter what. However, i do not think a degree is that important.

The main two problems I have are funds and opportunities. I personally feel the absurd amount of money being spent for university and living in UK can be invested to create a good portfolio in India. I can also use a portion of this money to join a short 6 month or 1 year course (depending on availability) in india for screenwriting and get a diploma. This will also give me a better entry into indian film industry.

I have a decent amount of connection for indian film industry but I am very underconfident about it. I am more scared of the fact if I leave the university here and regret this decision in the future. This can be easily swayed, because I already believe a film degree is not that useful. Id rather build a good portfolio and apply to film festivals with good short films.

My mental health is constantly deteriorating staying here. There is a large cultural gap which is very obvious. I think I can try harder to socialize more, but I dont believe it will change much. I motivated myself by saying, I can make the investment worth it by trying hard and making worth of the degree. But, whenever I pay the absurd amount of fee or rent, its gut wrenching.

Should I still continue or leave in December after finishing a semester. Please share any of your experience and what you would do.

Hello, we are a large group of 14. We are planning to rent out two suv cars for our upcoming trip to manali. We would really prefer it to be self driving than with drivers. I did search for companies on the internet but I find most of them seem more like a scam. Does anyone know of companies within manali or people that can rent cars for 5 days.

Hello! We are a group of 12 members staying in manali from july 1st. We were wondering about the different transports options available. We probably looking to rent out cars for self driving from manali. We wont be traveling much, mostly around old manali and other major tourist locations nearby. Do you guys have any company or places to rent cars from in manali. Maybe any different options from renting cars?
