Looking for places beyond the usual fast fashion stores.
Lulu, Family, Century have a few nice pieces, but it's hard to find them without digging through piles, and the sales staff pushing stuff doesn't help.
I'm not looking for anything fancy, just simple churidar materials or stitched. So any local boutiques or hidden gems anywhere?
Today is the last day for Census self-enumeration, so I sent the link to my friends. It turned into a debate, and now I'm curious to know what others think.
Their main arguments were:
But my thoughts were a bit different.
Even if we self-enumerate, officials should still come to our homes and verify the information. That's how the process is supposed to work.
The reason this work is given to government employees is because they are accountable for it. If they skip verification or approve false information, there is a way to trace who verified that particular household. That's the whole point of assigning government employees to do the verification. If they tamper with the data or fail to do their job properly, they're putting their own jobs at risk.
I also felt that many details like the type of house, roof, walls, electricity connection, etc. can be verified just by visiting the house. If someone lies about those, it should be fairly easy to spot and flag. Things like LPG connection or toilets obviously need to be asked. Even then, if something feels off, the enumerator can flag it and report it. Since many of the enumerators are government teachers from nearby areas, they may also have some familiarity with the locality, which could help during verification.
My other point was that we spend time on the internet filling out surveys, quizzes. Spending 10 minutes filling out the census, the data that is used for planning schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and policymaking for the coming years. I saw self-enumeration as a small civic contribution, while the government is still responsible for verifying and validating the information.
But for them, it all came down to one point:
"We're already paying for this through our taxes. The employees are getting paid to do this. Let them do the job properly, even if it takes longer. This happens only once every 10 years."
I couldn't really say they were wrong either, so we just agreed to disagree.
What are your thoughts on this?
it’s really frustrating that Accenture blocks employee referrals just because a candidate has an existing account in their career portal
ik these huge corporates will find talent no matter if tehy fix this or not , but this is a serious flaw in their system. I understand they want to avoid duplicate applications, but their ATS treats a candidate who simply exists in their portal as someone who has "already applied" to a newly referred role even when they have never touched that job posting before.
Issue I'm trapped in
Today, my 30-day referral window officially expired.
If a candidate has an active profile but zero active applications for a specific role, blocking a fresh referral makes no sense. They are completely missing out on qualified people because of a buggy database restriction they refuse to fix.
Same as the heading, are they planning to make this feature premium?
