I am planning a trip to Manali from Bangalore and my vechicle (UV X47) supports either type 2 ac charging (Using UV Lync) or bolt UV compatible charging stations which is rare to find. I was wondering if anyone knows any good ev spots that support type 2 charging?

Hello Everyone, Me and my gf would be visiting Bangalore next week and planning to go for clubbing most of the night, what are some of the best clubbing scenes in Bangalore rn?

We just wanna meet people who are travelling on the same dates as us. Not looking for anything specific, just wanna chill, party, drink some alcohol and hangout together. If we vibe we can share socials :)

I know there are already a lot of run clubs in Bangalore, but sometimes they don’t really feel personal or connected. I been thinking about starting something small with like minded people where we could go for runs on weekends, maybe hikes sometimes, or even just workout together.

Everything in the world feels kinda chaotic lately and people are getting more isolated day by day. And honestly, if you wanna go out and meet new people these days, it almost feels like everything revolves around drinking (personal opinion). As someone who’s really into fitness and who has been consistently working out for the last three years, I genuinely wanna build a community of people who are into health, self improvement, good conversations and just being active together.

I also feel like what could make this different from other groups is that it would be properly community based, where everyone actively participates and helps make it better instead of it being centered around one person. Maybe people can plan routes, organize hikes, suggest activities, or even help others stay accountable with fitness and life in general.

And apart from just running or workouts, we could probably do social welfare activities too, or things that actually help with mental health and loneliness. Cause I think a lot of people nowadays are not just looking for fitness, they are looking for connection, purpose and a healthier environment around them.

Nothing too serious or commercial, just a chill group of genuine people who wanna show up, run, workout and maybe make some real connections along the way.

Just letting it out there, I am pissed off right now. Making comments about someone’s body weight and telling them to “eat more” is not concern, it’s just annoying at this point. I have been living with body dysmorphia even though I have a really good physique, and somehow some relatives still think they are entitled to comment on my body every single time they see me. I am a 26 years old male btw not some kids.

If I get bigger, they start saying steroids. If I take creatine, suddenly I’m “doing drugs.” If I lean down a bit, they tell me to eat more. If I am tired for one second and slouch a little for back support, someone immediately becomes a posture expert telling me to sit straight.

I mean come on man, where are the boundaries? Not every thought needs to come out of your mouth. Seriously, Indian relatives need to let people be themselves instead of constantly judging, diagnosing, and policing every little thing about someone’s appearance like it’s their full-time job.

A few months ago, I did something that made a lot of my friends and relatives think I had completely lost my mind. I walked away from a really well-paying corporate job in the UK.

For a long time, the goal was always the standard script: get a good job abroad, make decent money, and climb the corporate ladder. But after being in the thick of it, I just looked around one day and realized I didn't actually want the lives of any of the managers above me. So, I quit. I took four months just to travel around and clear my head, and eventually, I moved back home to India.

Honestly? It feels like I can finally breathe.

Because the cost of living and PPP (purchasing power parity) is so much lower here, the savings I built up in the UK give me a really nice safety net. Right now, I'm just taking care of my family's business and taking things day by day.

People keep asking me what my "next big career move" is going to be, and they get so confused when I tell them the truth. I love being active, so I’m planning to study for my CPT to become a personal trainer. On top of that, I’m genuinely thinking about driving bike taxis (like Uber/Rapido) for a bit. Why not? I love riding around the city, I like being active, and I get to just chat with random people without taking any work stress home with me.

I used to feel this intense pressure to be traditionally "successful." Now, my biggest ambition is just to stay fit, help my family out, and literally never stare at a corporate spreadsheet ever again.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but walking away from a "good thing" on paper to find your actual peace of mind in reality is totally okay. Life is way too short to spend it stressed out in an office just to buy things you don't even have the energy to enjoy.

TL;DR: Quit my fancy UK job at 26, traveled, and moved back home to India. Surviving comfortably on savings/family business, and planning to become a personal trainer and bike taxi driver because I'd rather be active and at peace than rich and stressed.

Growing up I was the awkward skinny guy nobody really noticed. Got bullied too. I used to try way too hard to make people like me and honestly I had almost zero confidence in myself.

Few years later I changed my life completely. Started working out seriously, stopped drinking, travelled to a lot of countries, became way more confident socially and built a physique I never thought I could have.

From outside, it probably looks like one of those “glow up success stories”.

But something I never expected was how weird it feels when people suddenly treat you differently after you improve yourself physically.

People listen more. They respect you more. They are nicer to you. Sometimes even strangers.

And I don’t know why but that realization kind of messed with my head a little.

Because a part of me still feels like that insecure guy from years ago trying to prove something to people who probably forgot I even existed.

Not trying to sound dramatic or deep. It’s just a strange feeling I noticed recently.

Anyone else experienced this after changing themselves a lot?
