Konkani & It's Variants

Hello dear Konkani friends. I as a Marathi speaker have always found Konkani to be fascinating. I like to think that Marathi & Konkani are sisters. I've been to Goa only 3 times and whenever I heard people speak Konkani, my mind went, "Same Same, But Different". It is also an incredibly sweet sounding language 😊

As far as I know, Konkani has variants like Goan, Karwari and Mangalorian, etc. Can speakers of these respective variants understand each other with ease? Do they have influence of surrounding languages? And are they variants or more like dialects?

Would love to know, Thanks 🙏

Bengali Punekars or Bengalis living in Pune, Where in Pune can I find good and authentic Bengali food?

I haven't been to Bengal yet so haven't had the chance to taste the food. Where in Pune do you think I'll get genuinely good Bengali food the way we get in the state & Bengali homes?

What are your reasons for choosing the childfree life?

I am 34M, on the fence but leaning more and more towards being childfree these days. I had earlier asked this sub for advice on how to decide once and for all which path I should take and was met with really great answers.

​

Today I want to ask you what are your personal reasons that led you to this incredibly important life descision?

Can we ever reverse the poor planning of Indian cities and towns?

The chaos that we experience living in Indian cities both big and small is the result of incredibly poor planning. Trash everywhere, traffic, broken infrastructure, polluted rivers, etc. has made the quality of life in our country so bad. I sometimes look at our cities and wonder if it is too late?! Even if we can, will we be able to afford it and face the disruption it will cause?

Meetup Successful!

We had an amazing walk through ARAI hill today evening. It was the first time for blended_margin. I on the other hand, a regular, thought I knew all the routes there are but I was wrong, Pakka Punekar, CriticalXenon took us on a wind swept route completely new to me. That also came with even an incredible view. Loved it! 😁

Men who have decided not to get married, what are your reasons?

I am 34M, from India. I've been on the fence for a long long time about marriage and fatherhood. Somedays I feel I should get married for it's core benefit of companionship, somedays I feel I shouldn't for the benefits of solo life.

.

Men who have decided that marriage isn't for them and are not going to ever tie the knot, what are your reasons? And if anyone who like me struggled in deciding which path to take and ultimately took the staying unmarried route, what got you there?

Meetup Successful!

Today we turned Ravivar into Misal-Var as planned. Enjoyed a plate of Misal & Slice at my favorite, the iconic Bedekar Tea Stall. We followed that with a lovely Mastani at another Pune icon, Sujata. It was indeed a great start to the day. 😎

.

Two redditors were unfortunately not able to join us. Looking forward to meeting them in our next meetup. In the photo, we are, Remote_Economist_725 & blended_margin. 😁
