I work for 3-4 hours a day for nearly three days a week rest of time I am free. My work is mostly seasonal like it's hectic in summer but I am free in monsoon. Now tell me what should I be doing for most of my days. Is there any way
I am 27 F I haven't seen much of Congress rule. I briefly remember Anna andolan. But I remember posts on Quora that how great our state is and no other state is near to MH. Now it doesn't seem like that. What changed?
I have reached that weird stage where I’m not busy, not stressed, not overwhelmed… just bored out of my mind. There’s nothing urgent to finish, nobody needs anything from me, and I’ve already exhausted the usual ways of killing time. I keep checking the clock and somehow 10 minutes feels like an hour.
...... The funny part is that having free time sounds amazing until you actually have too much of it..
What do you guys do when you have a completely empty day and absolutely no motivation to start some huge new hobby? Looking for genuinely interesting ways to make the time pass.
Plzzz suggest how do i lose atleast 5 kgs weight by water fasting. Currently I am on 20 hrs fast, I want to lose weight but I don't want to be harsh on my body as well because I am a newcomer. Suggest me best way, should I do water fasting for couple days or alternate day water fasting or OMAD for next 12 days.
​
Has anyone here tried a 36-48-72 hour water fast? Did you actually notice any benefits apart from weight loss?
I’m especially curious about autophagy, does fasting really trigger it, and did anyone notice any difference afterward?
Would love to hear your personal experiences.
As a 27F from Navi Mumbai, I never expected to fall in love with village life.
I recently got married and moved into a family from the Jalgaon region. Before the wedding, I'll admit I had a lot of stereotypes. I kept thinking, "It's a backward region. How will I adjust? Won't I miss city life?"
But after spending 6 days there after my wedding, and another 6–7 days last month, every single stereotype I had completely disappeared.
What surprised me the most was the sense of community. People actually spend time together. They sit outside, chat for hours, laugh, visit each other's homes, and genuinely seem to care about one another. Coming from Navi Mumbai, where many people barely know or speak to their neighbours, it felt like a completely different world.
Another thing I loved was the food. So much of it is homegrown or locally produced... chillies, curry leaves (kadipatta), dal, shengdane (peanuts), vegetables, and so much more. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavour.
The pace of life also felt so peaceful. I didn't realize how mentally exhausting city life had become until I experienced that calm.
The funniest part? I actually gained 2 kg in just 7 days because I couldn't stop eating... Dal batti, phunke, basundi puri, dashmi, khichdi, khandeshi chicken/mutton and so much more..
I'm not saying village life is perfect. I'm sure it has its own challenges, but this experience really made me question many of the assumptions I had.
Has anyone else from a big city experienced something similar after moving to a village or marrying into a rural family? I'd love to hear your stories.
If yes, is it because of family tradition, religion, or just social expectations?
Also, why is the saree so strongly associated with Hindu culture? I understand it's beautiful and traditional, but I honestly find it difficult to wear, uncomfortable for daily chores, and much less practical than a salwar suit or kurti.
I'm not trying to disrespect anyone's traditions. I'm just curious about how common this expectation is and why it continues today.
I'd love to hear experiences from people across different states and families.
I'm 27F and recently got married into a family from the Jalgaon/Khandesh region. Everyone at my inlaw place speaks Ahirani and they also know Marathi they naturally switch to Ahirani when talking among themselves....
The problem is that Ahirani feels very different from the Marathi . I can understand only bits and pieces, and speaking is even harder. My inlaws are very chill and welcoming, but I still feel left out sometimes because I can't join the conversations properly.
I've searched online, but there are hardly any tutorials, YouTube channels, or learning resources for Ahirani.
Any tips, books, YouTube channels, apps, or even common phrases that helped you? I'd really love to learn so I can connect better with my new family.

Hi everyone!

I am 27 F, I recently got married, but I don't feel the excitement that I expected from a new marriage. My husband is emotionally very weak. He doesn't do many of the things he promised before our marriage, such as spending time in the kitchen and enjoying cooking together. He helps with household chores, but only for about 15 minutes a day.
I also have a government job, and I spend around four hours every day doing household chores. Life feels very boring, partly because of my government job and partly because we are settled in a remote place.
Yes I can do exercise, cook good food, I am also working on my brothers software. But still I am. Not contented suggest something. Plz don't suggest reading books, learning instrument and gardening. I am not interested in it. I want something productive. Suggest things I can do for a change.

The thing is he had a crush long time ago... Like five yrs back. He was in constant touch with her through calls. But later he might have realised she is not marriage material or caste is different. He met me three yrs back, but while we were in a relationship he was still in touch with her through calls that too in midnight. I figured it out through frequent call logs during midnight.
We had a big issue after that, I also started seeing other guys. We broke up like for about nine months. But later I realised I cannot leave without him. We came back together with a promise that we won't cheat each other or contact third person while in a relationship.
Now we are married from three months. I checked his call log got to know she contacted him four months back for ( depression, anxiety, etc) and he too responded because she was in trouble. Now a month before after we got married she again called him to ask about him.
He broke our promise. And I feel he doesn't respect me enough and takes me for granted. I confronted him, he said that he won't do it again. But I feel the cycle keeps repeating again and again. I confronted him he said it's his mistake in casual way and started bringing my past. I need a solution for this?
