Hey guys, please help me out.

As the title says, I just can’t seem to enjoy training my core and legs. I know how important both are, but I find the exercises extremely boring and, honestly, pretty damn hard.

How do you guys make leg and core training more enjoyable?

I’d really appreciate some simple exercises that I can start with. I’m wondering if I find them so difficult because my legs and core are just weak right now.

The biggest problem is leg day, though. I swear, every time I train legs, I feel completely destroyed for the next 2–3 days. The soreness and fatigue are so bad that all I want to do afterward is lie in bed and do absolutely nothing.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, or maybe I’m just not conditioned enough yet.

So, what exercises or routines would you recommend for someone who genuinely hates leg and core training?

Hey! 26M here. Thought I'd put myself out there and see if anyone's up for meeting new people around Pune.

I'm pretty easygoing — coffee, drinks, food, exploring a new place, random plans, whatever works. Not really looking for anything super structured, just good conversations and meeting some interesting people.

If you're also up for getting out and doing something, feel free to DM!

I’m 26. I’m a CA, have a decent career, and in most aspects of life I’ve managed to do what I wanted to do.

But there’s one thing I’ve completely failed at — relationships.

I’ve never been in one.

Looking back, I think I made a stupid mistake when I was 16.

There was a girl I really, really liked in 12th standard. It wasn’t some casual crush for me. I genuinely felt an insane amount of love for her. So what did my 16-year-old brain decide to do?

I went to her house and proposed to her.

Yeah. Looking back, I can understand why that scared her away.

About six months later, we somehow became friends again. But by then I had already killed whatever possibility there might have been of us ever becoming a couple.

And instead of accepting that and moving on, I spent years hoping she would eventually come to me.

Years.

Almost a decade of my life went by with some part of me waiting for something that was never going to happen.

During those years, I had opportunities. Three different girls proposed to me at different points, and I rejected all of them.

Not because I was trying to play some game or because I thought I was better than them.

I just wasn't attracted to anyone other than her.

And eventually, that became a bigger problem.

I stopped interacting with women altogether.

I didn't approach anyone. I didn't try dating.

I just withdrew.

CA made this easier to justify. There isn't really a normal college life in CA. My early 20s were basically attempts, studying, exams, articleship and eventually work.

But if I'm being completely honest with myself, CA wasn't the only reason.

I avoided social life because I had already convinced myself that I wasn't interested in anyone anyway.

And that slowly destroyed my confidence.

The ironic part is that I was investing heavily in my career and becoming successful professionally while completely neglecting an important part of growing up.

I'm not bitter about that girl anymore. She's married now, and I'm genuinely completely over her.

But I do regret the years I spent waiting.

Because that's the lesson I wish someone had drilled into my head when I was 20:

Don't put your life on hold for someone who isn't choosing you.

You don't have to accept every proposal just because you're afraid you'll never find anyone else.

But you also shouldn't close yourself off completely because you're emotionally stuck on one person.

Talk to people. Make friends. Go out. Build confidence. Let yourself meet people you wouldn't have otherwise met.

And don't confuse being busy with building a life.

If I could go back and talk to my 20-year-old self, I'd tell him:

Invest in yourself. Do what you know is right even when you don't feel like doing it. And don't let your feelings for one person stop you from living the rest of your life.

I'm 26 now. I know that's still young.

But I really wish I'd understood this a lot earlier.

Genuinely curious — why doesn’t DMart stock whey protein?

It would be so convenient to just pick up a tub while doing regular grocery shopping instead of having to wait for an online order from the official brand websites.

And considering DMart’s pricing model, I feel they could probably offer it at a much more affordable price too.

Would anyone else prefer buying whey from DMart if they started stocking it?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 26-year-old Chartered Accountant based in Pune, working in finance/audit. I’m ambitious about my career and building a financially comfortable life, but I also want to enjoy life on my own terms.

One thing I’m very clear about: I’m childfree by choice. I don’t want children — not now, not later, and not as a “maybe someday” compromise. I’m looking for someone who genuinely feels the same.

A bit about me:

• Finance/audit professional

• Into fitness

• Love exploring food places

• Movies/TV and random deep conversations

• Technology and occasionally going down a 2 AM rabbit hole about black holes and the universe

• Big fan of humour, affection and good conversations

I’m looking for a woman who is kind, emotionally mature, independent and has her own ambitions and personality. Someone who wants a relationship where we build a life together without children being part of that life.

I’d love a relationship with travel, food dates, lazy evenings, stupid jokes, deep conversations and two people who genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

Basically, let’s build a life, not a nursery. 🌱

If this sounds like something you’d genuinely want too, feel free to say hi. :)

I bought my Poco X8 Pro Max just 4 days ago and I’m looking for a good back cover.

My main concern is heat dissipation. I don’t want a thick silicone/rubber case that traps heat, especially during gaming or heavy use.

Has anyone found a case that provides decent protection while still allowing heat to dissipate properly?

Would appreciate recommendations, especially from people using the X8 Pro Max.

I recently heard about the idea that it could be mathematically possible for a different universe to exist for every possible choice we make — basically, every decision creates or corresponds to a different reality where another outcome happened read about a cat in a box thought experiment with poison inside the box.

Obviously, none of us has ever experienced or observed another universe, so we have no idea whether this is actually how reality works.

But the idea is fascinating to me.

What do you guys think?

I'm a simple man. I have one goal: date a baddie.

She's pretty, confident, slightly toxic, funny, knows she's attractive,

and somehow makes me forget every financial goal I've ever had.

What I'm offering: loyalty, attention, good conversations,

emotional support, random food dates, and a man who will hype

you up like you're the most beautiful woman alive.

I don't want peace. I want her.

Of course, we don’t actually know what’s inside a black hole, and our current understanding of physics breaks down near the singularity.

But hypothetically, what do you think we would find if we could somehow go past the event horizon and observe what’s inside?

Curious to hear what everyone thinks.

Same

Please explain in very simple words, i know nothing of physics.

Edit: Thanks a lot, guys, for making it so simple. I finally got the explanation. Basically, a black hole merges space and time, and since time only moves forward, we can’t escape a black hole because that would essentially mean travelling back in time.
