I’m looking to buy a 15-inch MacBook Air M4, but it seems to be out of stock / unavailable on both the official Apple online store and Croma.
Does anyone know where I can still reliably buy a brand-new, genuine unit right now (online or offline)

I was in a really abusive relationship in the past. It broke me to the point where I was terrified, dealing with severe anxiety and deep depression. Getting out of that was pure hell, but I did it.

Fast forward to today: I've built a good, independent life for myself. Being in a serious relationship isn't my top priority right now…I'm just enjoying my freedom. I go out on dates and meet people, which I feel is totally fine as a single person. If I’m in a committed relationship, I’m 100% loyal, hands down. But right now? I’m single and just living.

My guy friends do the exact same thing…they date around, talk to multiple girls, go to parties and no one says a thing.
But for me? The moment I go out on a date, the comments start. A friend just told me about the stuff being said behind my back that I’m "active on dates," calling me names, basically slut-shaming me for just living like any single guy does.

Once, I did a guy a favor and dropped him home because he was completely wasted. He went around spreading rumors that I slept with him, which was a total lie.

Add to that living in a city like Delhi, where so many guys have zero concept of personal space and get touchy, yet we are the ones who end up carrying all the shame.

I keep telling myself I’m strong and that I shouldn't care about these backward, misogynistic people. But honestly, today it just hit me hard. It’s so exhausting to fight so hard to get your life back, only to be dragged down by people’s garbage opinions.

A guy called me a whore, so I filed a police complaint. Cops detained him for 6 hours. After he gave an unconditional written apology, I submitted an official letter to the police closing the matter conditionally (I'll reopen it if he harasses me again).
The Current Issue
Today, he called me crying, saying the police called him back to the station and claimed they cannot close the file unless I send him a WhatsApp text saying "I don’t want the cop station to take any further action against you and we have resolved the issue" as proof.
Questions

1. Is this actual procedure? If I already gave a signed letter to the station, why would cops need an informal WhatsApp message?
2. Is it a trap? Is he trying to get me on record saying "things are okay" to invalidate my conditional statement or clear himself completely?
3. Is he lying or are cops just being lazy?
4. How should I handle this? Should I contact the investigating officer directly or ignore his calls

A lot of guys have this massive delusion that they can say whatever they want to a woman and just get away with it. They scream, use disgusting insults, abuse her or try to intimidate a woman just to feel superior and make her quiet.
And when she walks away? They walk around feeling, thinking they won or that they hold all the power.
Let's clear something up right now: such a man isn’t just a jerk but also a criminal.

A lot of guys think…see we said so much bs, she didn’t say anything…we made her quite don’t let a man think he holds that power

Let's talk about the actual laws
Too many guys think "it's just words" so the police won't care. That is completely wrong. The law explicitly tracks this behavior:

IPC 509 / Section 79 BNS (Verbal Abuse): This law is literally built for guys who use their words, texts, or gestures to insult a woman’s dignity or privacy. If you use verbal abuse to humiliate a woman, you are looking at up to 3 years in prison

IPC 354 / Section 74 BNS (Physical Intimidation): If that verbal abuse crosses the line into aggressive posturing, using physical force, or cornering her to make her feel unsafe, it becomes a much bigger deal. This carries a mandatory minimum of 1 year in jail (up to 5 years), and it is non-bailable. That means the police don't even need a warrant to lock you up.

Flip the script
Abusers only act tough because they assume the woman will stay silent or won't know her rights. They count on you thinking it's not a big deal.
But the moment you start collecting evidence saving the texts, recording the audio, keeping track of the dates that
fake power they think they have completely disappears.

To any woman dealing with this: Do not let them make you feel small. They don't hold the power, the law does. Know your rights, keep the receipts and remember that they can absolutely face jail time for how they treat you.
Stop letting these guys think they can say whatever they want without consequences. Call it what it actually is: a criminal offense.

While a lot of my friends stood by me, I was shocked by how many people were genuinely confused by my decision.
I kept hearing the same dismissive comments like why didn’t u just block and move on? Is it really that big of a deal?

Some people were asking if the police would even bother taking action against something so "petty."
Let’s clear this up right now: Verbally abusing a woman, degrading her dignity, or threatening her over text messages is NOT petty. It is a recognized criminal offense.

We live in a culture that expects women to just swallow disrespect, block the number, and let toxic men walk away feeling smug…let’s change that

Yesterday, I rejected a man I met because he was insisting to meet again and I wasn't interested. Instead of accepting it with basic maturity, he responded by calling me a b*tch and a wh*re to humiliate me. I decided not to let it go. I filed a police complaint. For the first time, I didn't call my friends or fam. I trusted my own judgement and went straight to the cop station

The confidence he had while insulting me disappeared almost instantly. The same person who acted tough suddenly apologized and cried and begged me to take the report back. I realized lot of men act powerful only as long as they believe there will be no consequences.
For the first time, I truly felt like I had reclaimed my power. I Taking action gave me a level of confidence I didn't know I had.

What struck me most was how fragile this performative
"manliness" can be. Someone who tried to demean me to feel superior became apologetic the moment he was put in place. Strength isn't intimidating or insulting someone who rejected you. Wish most men understood boundaries.
Ithere are enough men who believe they can insult, intimidate or shame women without consequences. courage can completely shift the balance.

To any woman reading this plz don't underestimate yourself. Your voice matters. Your boundaries matter. You don't have to silently accept abuse just because someone thinks they're entitled to treat you badly.
Standing up for myself didn't just resolve one incident....it changed how I see myself. I don't feel powerless anymore. I feel stronger, more confident, and far less willing to let anyone make me feel small. I so wish I could post the audio recording of him apologizing. I’ll try to upload video of the incident in the comments

I have been asked a lot that how did I file the police complaint? I went to the police station and explained the entire situation, showed screenshot. Since it was my first time filing a complaint, I wasn't sure about the procedure. The officer asked me to write a detailed complaint, including my name, phone number, and address, as well as his name, phone number, and address. I didn't have his address, so I provided the details I knew. I also stated he outraged my modesty. Outraging a woman’s modesty and attacking her dignity is a punishable offense under the law. It’s sexual harassment . After submitting the complaint, I was given a complaint number. Please always take the complaint number.

The officer then asked me what outcome I wanted. I told them that I wanted him to apologize to me in person, touch my feet as a gesture of remorse, provide a written apology, and undertake not to contact or harass me in the future.
Within 5–10 minutes of filing the complaint, he called me in tears. He said he had received a notice from the police station and had been summoned to appear there at 2:00 p.m. During the call, he repeatedly apologized and was crying.

I did not meet him at the police station that day. Instead, I submitted a written statement saying that since he had offered me an unconditional apology, I was amicably closing the matter. However, I also stated that if he ever harassed or contacted me again, I would reopen the complaint. The police officer assured me that I need not worry and informed me that he had been made to wait at the station for about three to four hours

I hope my post helps a lot of women gather courage to fight against such misogynistic loser who think they can abuse women and get away with it without consequences. They should know misogyny is not normal. As soon as he got a notice all his so called confidence and arrogance fades and he cries and pleaded me take the complain back, I did not take it back the same day and made sure he’s taught a lesson first.

Sufi plays the gay card and cries for sympathy while he’s a bully himself and the way he abused Shreya was totally uncalled for and so god damn crass and distasteful. Had it been a straight he would have been put in place and given one tight slap. Hope this is discussed and he gets reprimanded for it.
