Planning a road trip with my family (2+2) and our 3yr ShihTzu in mid October for 5 days.

route:
Bengaluru → Coorg / Sakleshpur → Wayanad → Bengaluru

Looking for good, clean and family homestays/resorts that are more about nature and the experience than luxury.

Our preferences:
Lush green / coffee estates / forest surroundings / quiet and relaxing only / No hurry touristic style

Ideally hills, valley views

Must be genuinely pet-friendly

We are looking for places where we can slow down, enjoy the surroundings, take walks, sit around in the evening and simply relax rather than pack the day with sightseeing.

If you’ve personally stayed at a place that genuinely fits this ???, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.

Especially interested in lesser-known gems rather than the usual commercial resorts.

Also open to suggestions on whether Sakleshpur, Coorg or Wayanad would be best for this kind of stay.

Thanks in advance!

Hello kids. I'm here because I'm way too far away from my baby and I miss her so much that I think I'm actually going insane. This is basically just me screaming into the void because I'm so stupidly in love.

It's been 1 year, 2 months and 21 days since she kissed me for the first time, and my entire world changed after that.

She is genuinely the sweetest, cutest, funniest, smartest, and the hottest woman I've ever seen in my entire life. Like... it's actually unfair. Our story is so fucking funny too.

We met in university. We had this whole weirdly intimate friendship where we'd constantly hug, hold hands, kiss each other on the cheek, cuddle whenever we sat together... basically everyone except us could probably tell something was up.

She kept trying to be friends with me, and I kept accidentally shutting her down because she was SOO persistent that my dumb ass was like, "Why is this insanely cool girl trying this hard to be my friend?" I genuinely thought there had to be a catch.

Eventually I gave in.

Back then she was dating someone else. They ended up having a really rough breakup, and somewhere in the middle of all that I realized I cared about her way more than I was willing to admit. We got even closer. Somehow she fell for me.

She'd always known she was bi, meanwhile I was walking around convinced I was straight... despite literally never being interested in anyone before her. Looking back, yeah... that should've been my first clue T-T

Then came the most confusing week of my life. I was absolutely gone for her but too clueless to realize it. She finally got sick of waiting for me to figure it out, grabbed my face, gave me the tiniest little peck...

...and that was it.

My brain stopped working.

We ended up making out, and that was the moment my life decided to become a romance movie.

Since then I've somehow managed to fall in love with her even more every single day. I didn't even know that was possible. We're ridiculously into each other. We watch stuff together, communicate, we laugh over the dumbest things, we annoy each other on purpose, we somehow make even studying stupid subjects and doing absolutely nothing feel exciting. Loving her has become the easiest thing I've ever done.

She's home to me. And now she's far away and I'm losing my mind.

I miss holding her hand. I miss hugging her. I miss kissing her. I miss sleeping next to her, waking up next to her, hearing her laugh in person, staring at her when she isn't looking because she's so fucking pretty it actually makes me mad.

I literally want to marry this woman. I want to spend my life arguing over what to eat, adopting way too many pets, falling asleep next to her every night, waking up beside her every morning, and just... existing with her forever. Life has been a bit rough recently (since my conservative than normal asf has found out about us and gave me an ultimatum to cut her off but oh well😭😭)

God I miss her.

I LOVE HER SOOO MUCH

Anyway thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Goodnight.

I am 20, study in a university, im dating a girl there. Iwe are having a really good relationship and my parents are extremely strict- i am not allowed to date or go out a lot, and my father is too proud of me and he respects me a lot- yesterday he by mistake saw texts between me and my girlfriend and he lost his mind, he couldnt say anything, there wre relatives over at home. He cant say anything he just said do u understand what culture and tradition u have come from? And then he just sat quiet, i think he was dizzy. He was quiet, and he i could see he was disappointed/ disgusted, i didnt know what to say i just said sorry. and that i cant say its a mistake because i did it intentionally,- he said “you have studied amma— this is all unnatural” and that is all he could say, i know hes shocked and disappointed and i dont know what to say because we will talk about this later, and i don’t know- my mother and sister cannot know- there are multiple possibilities, i want him to forget this happened and let me be- and on the other hand they are very unpredictable- he has it in him to DROP ME OUT of university or something, i dont understand what to do- currently im just avoiding looking at his face, i feel pukey and im very scared. I just want him to forget this happened, im very serious abiut my gf too, i dont know what to do- i respect him a lot i hate that he will never trust me again, and i just want him to forget that this happened and i want to erase what happened yesterday- i dont know how to explain myself to him either.
