Searching for a new flat to share in London and the landlady said “Hi. I can see you from India. We do not want to cook spicy food in the flat”

She could’ve asked before assuming.
I barely know how to cook.

Lmao. Already started feeling racism before moving.

I'm guy, 25.

Was travelling in metro yesterday and this big fair 6'2 dude was standing in-front me.

He was wearing shorts, and i caught him staring at me a few times. He seemed decent plus he was a guy so i didn't bother much and continued listening to my songs.

Moments later he started punching in air like he was shadow boxing or smth idk. Was weird. In front of me. While my head was down. Maybe flexing his biceps and long arms. And when I got my head up, he was fairly close and my hand touched his hair, not intentional.

Then he just kept staring. I was really confused. I am generally a chill guy so was just making fun of the situation in my head as this is my coping mechanism and I never know how to react. More of this has happened before as well.

Anyway, moments later he came really close and asked "next station rajouri hai kya?" almost in my ears. WE WERE STANDING RIGHT BENEATH THE METRO MAP AND THAT DIGITAL BOARD WAS WORKING FINE showing clearly what next station was.

It just striked me after getting home.

And i gained more respect for women who go through this everyday.

I'm straight bdw.

Men are so scary.

edit: men commenting 'stop being sensitive' must be the ones with 370rs biryani mentality

My appointment was for 12:10PM
Arrived at 11:40 AM
Got free by 12:10PM

Don’t know what else to say.
No I didn’t opt for lounge shi
It was normal standard visa i had just opted for documentation scanning for 2500rs

I was worried and kind of sceptical about it after reading so many reviews on Google and Reddit, but it was not bad at all.

It was actually really good, and maybe I was lucky, but there was too much crowd in the overall building, but the UK and ireland had a separate floor and also Italy has one separate floor,

so I just gave my appointment letter and they sent me to the third floor as soon as I entered the third floor, they sent me for biometrics, which was done under three minutes then, just after a minute, I was sent for documentation scanning, which was done in another five minutes so

there is no need to opt for the lounge and all I guess the lounge people waited more than me because I thought there was more rush in the lounge and you have to wait there, so they sell you more stuff and make you sit for tea, coffee, and biscuit type of things

Why should I pay tax on my hard-earned income?

₹15,000 of my hard work got swallowed by these thieves, and what did I get?

Dirty water at home. Dusty roads full of massive potholes that increase my car’s maintenance costs. Food soaked in poison. And toxic air to breathe.

I work 15 hours a day. I spend 2 hours driving 20km. I buy an air purifier. I buy a water purifier. I rack my brain grinding on the stock market.

And I give my money to this government which has never once come and spoken to me directly, only gone on TV to do their Mann Ki Baat?

The government’s bootlickers, the crorepatis pay ZERO tax. And I, the middle class, pay up???

Shame on it.
Disgrace.
Shameful.

And this is just the direct income tax.
Don’t even get me started on how I PAID GST ON AN AIR PURIFIER

Are you doing good in life? Or things are better than they were before? Whatever it is, tell your younger self something to motivate him/her, and appreciate how far have you come.

My letter -

Hey Bro,

You are doing good in life now. A stable income, stable job. We moved out from that old home to a better place in the city. Take care of your health and spend more time with your dad. Learn as much as you can from him (please i request). Give him a hug.

The girl you are chasing right now isn't worth it. You'll now.

All the best.

Keep hustling.

the roads have gotten so bad recently. the pollution is up the charts. dust, smoke, have filled the skies. traffic is one thing, which i can still manage but you cant drive a two wheeler anymore. i went out last night on a bike wearing a white t shirt and when i came back it was brown, drenched in mud. when it rained, the AQI went to 70 and just the next day it went to 300. what is happening in delhi? is it the new govt i assume? does everyone feel the same? it is becoming unbearable day by day
