I was thinking what I would do if I can see how much time people have left on the top of their head, and I decided that I will search for those who have a day left to die and borrow money from them

I finally finished The count of Monte cristo

I enjoyed it, though I did struggle in the middle. Hence I took my time and took little over 2 months to finish the same and I am glad I did.

The book made me think that even though Dantes took his vengeance, at the end he isnt a happy man.

He feels that he is the cause of death of Eduard, I do not think he is. But yet takes the blame and feel he has gone too far.

Inspite of dragging down his enemies to the point of death, bankruptcy and madness. He still feels a hole in his heart.

The death of his dad, his lost years and losing the one he loved, these unfortunate circumstances cannot be undone by inflicting misfortune on others.

The biggest question that I found at the end of the book was

If vengeance cannot give one happiness then what is the remedy for when one is wronged.

Should one accept that vengeance cannot sooth your soul , but it is a necessary evil to bring them down.

Please help me understand what just happened

So, it was my birthday yesterday. Today we were having a friendly banter. one of my colleague told me that he got to know from another colleague that yesterday was my birthday yesterday itself, but was contemplating, among himself whether to wish me or not.

I was like WTF and was dumbfounded 1

for context, the day before my birthday we both went together to have dinner together.

And to hear from his mouth that he was contemplating to wish me or not is confusing..

I am in middle of the book and cant help but love Albert

This is my first time reading the book, so no spoilers please.

I am currently in chapter 77.

I cant help but like Albert for the way he gets excited for tiny things.

He gets excited to talk to the count, even though the count is seemingly indifferent to him.Albert reminds me of a cute little kid who wants the approval of someone and I cant help but like him for his innocent nature.

My dad is the worst human being to ever exist

My brother told my dad that he's feeling mentally unwell. To which he replied and I quote "I'll buy you a drink, have and sleep"

Its tough to even get on dates

Ive been on various apps since 18.

No one seems to even make an effort to have a conversation.

Grindr is T or B, place etc.

Bumble and Hinge, no one is going past Hi, Hello, how are you doing?

What is wrong.

Why cant we have a date that feels natural going with the flow.

Being gay is so hard

You get judged for how you look.

And the apps are not forgiving too.

Why cant they make a conversation.

Being gay is a blessing and a curse in many ways.

LPT: If you are texting a stranger for help / information write a brief in the first text itself. Do not just write "Hi". It saves time for both of you

Which was the earliest memory of a Tamil movie that made you cry

Mine was Kannathil Muthamithal.

We didn't have TV at home. So we were watching in our Grandma's house.

And I still remember how tears fell from my cheeks during the climax when the young girl wanted to ask her mom a couple of questions but couldn't continue further after one or two questions. Adding to the scene, Rahman's music was mesmerizing.

So what's your earliest memory of a Tamil movie that made you cry.

AITK for not getting along with my friend's new friends

So, I was in my friend's city. I wanted to meet up with him.

He told me to come to his house. I went and we had beer.

He called two of his other friends who are from his school.

We were sitting together and they started talking about their school memories etc and what not, none of which was interesting to me.

After having beer, I zoned out and was engaging with the music being played. The conversation they had were about girls, relationships etc which was not intriguing me. So I kept quiet and was engaging with the music.

They seemed to have noticed it and tried to pull me to their conversations by asking me about myself.

I answered and went back to my own world. I have to mention that I was zoned out and was only intrigued about the music being played.

So AITA in this situation

Watched Barbarian and loved it

I watched weapons yesterday and I loved the movie. I was looking for something from the same director and I stumbled upon Barbarian.

I didn't watch the trailer and went into the movie not knowing what to expect.

The first half had me good.

Not knowing what was waiting for you and why the place is dangerous did add a lot of scary tune to the film.

The movie also managed to get a few laughs out of me.

The first half is really well done. I had to take a break after the first half coz of intense it was.

I'm glad I stumbled upon it

I'm irritated when my mom tells me about her day when she never asked me about mine

In my childhood she never asked conce how my day went, she didn't seem interested in it at all

Now I'm an adult and I occasionally visit house. When she tells me about her day I feel irritated and angry. I don't reply anything at all. I just say hmm.

How do I let go of this anger.
