Sooo I just finished the series yesterday and watched the movie today so officially I've come to an end of this peak 😭😭

Like oh god this was such a well acted, well written and well directed piece of cinema. It all started with just one single crate of guns, just a single fucking crate of guns

I literally won't be starting any other series for the time being because I just want to absorb this well in my memory 😭

One thing is that some characters in the whole series were unbearable. One being Gina.

Other thing is that I just saw a lot of negative comments and reviews of the immortal man and now I feel dumb because I cried for half an hour in the ending scene 😭

I watched peaky blinders the first time when I was really really young. So at that point in my life I couldn't understand half the series because as I said I was too young to understand all of that. But now watching it all again and understanding everything this time makes the feeling so surreal 😭😭

I personally liked the character of Alfie Solomons. I believe it was wholesome and complete in it's own way. From friends and foe to life and death, alfie had one of the best character arc.

Plus... curly's character is so cute 😭

Arthur's death is something I haven't been able to come to terms with. I think keeping it as a suicide would have been a better option or atleast labeling it as salvation instead of Thomas killing Arthur out of rage. I mean... it was a nah for me. Also the whole duke part made it a bit insignificant. I mean if it were Charles in place of duke, it would have held more significance. Just a personal opinion tho

And and and... Polly was the best and strongest character. Polly's death was so sudden and so sad that I almost didn't continue it further because I was literally confused. There was no need of that death. It was unnecessary. But then I got to know about Helen McCrory and... oh god I was devastated. But she was the best actor who could have played Polly. She played it the best.

I have one favourite scene in the whole 5 seasons and 1 movie but it's silly 😭 The scene where Thomas and Lizzie are going up the stairs to some rally I guess where mosley is also present and then Arthur comes destroyed in a black shirt with johnny dogs. So when Lizzie and Thomas are going up the stairs, one reporter breaks in and asks him a question and the men there were about to put their hands on Lizzie and Thomas to keep them moving but then both of them shove their hands away and Tommy says 'fuck off'.... yeah that's my favourite scene. No but trust me... watch that scene again and close your eyes and just listen to cillian saying fuck off... 😭😭 I watched that scene like 20 times... its so silly that that's my favourite scene. That fuck off was so... idk so smooth for no reason 😭

And till the end of season 5 I was with Thomas in his 'I have no limitations' but after polly's death... oh god... for me that was the point when Thomas should have stopped. That's the point he should have had limitations. I know.. I know there were circumstances but that's just my personal feeling that... at some point, he should have limitations, not for the world but atleast for himself

Rest of the post is just for the ladies -

MICHAEL GRAY IS SO FREAKING HOT !!!!!! (before the moustache)

And ABERAMA GOLD after the haircut !!!! 😭😭😭

I personally liked the style and persona of almost every man in the series but these 2 were my personal favourite of course after Cillian Murphy.

And major Campbell fuck you

This is not a long post but...

Are we really not going to do anything ??

Are we really just going to sit and scroll and watch this country go down in shambles ??

I know I am doing the same thing rn but it baffles me how and actually why we aren't doing anything ??

But what can be possibly done ? Realistically ?

These old asses are ruining this country. They are gonna leave this world in 10 or so years but it's us who will have to bear the brunt. And not like after 10 years the situation is gonna be better

I don't even need to list down what all is wrong with this country. But realistically, are we just gonna sit, scroll and survive on bare minimum??

In the past atleast there were protests, atleast people had the spine to question the government, atleast there was anger among the people. I don't see much of a difference in what I have read about the British rule in history books and today. (Not literally but the essence)

But... are we really not going to do anything ?

So my qualifications are that I am pursuing a degree in economics. Particularly I am doing BA (Hons) Economics from Delhi University (south campus)

I am interested in research, particularly public policy. I am not interested in the line of finance and investment banking type of career aspect.

Please suggest some good career paths that I can target as an economics major. (Both government and private)

People have always told me that economics degree is always worth it than other degrees but in what terms actually, like I want to know what actual career paths exist out there (and the pathway too if possible)

Also, I tried looking for some research internships out there but idk I can't seem to get a hold on any. Please suggest anything for that as well.

Will be genuinely grateful for every single helpful comment 🌸💞

So here we go

I am a college student, currently concluding my first year. I come from a middle-class family where my parents will never deny me money, but I have seen firsthand how difficult it is for my family. And, I refuse to cost them any extra burden. I have always been low-maintenance, so I never asked them for money to spend on random things or even for fun.

Luckily, in my first semester, I got an internship for 1k a month, then got promoted to 2k a month. I am working well there, so 2k a month is what I earn as a fixed income, and besides that, sometimes I manage to get 1-2 freelance writing projects, so some Rs500-1k for that. But this is not fixed.

I have big goals. I want to study abroad for my masters. But obviously, the exam form fees, the tuition and everything will be massive, and I hate that I will have to ask my parents or get a student loan, which obviously will also be taken by my parents. You see, they have never told me to stop because of money, but my heart clenches seeing them spend so much on me, especially. My sister is completely opposite, high maintenance. So somewhere I believe that at least I can be the daughter who requires the least money. At least some burden can be reduced for my parents. But I also don't want to kill my dreams for that. Since my first sem, I have been handling my own costs of going out with friends, going to restaurants sometimes, and I am also trying to manage my own transportation costs. It costs me Rs. 100 a day to commute to and from college, for which I need to ask my father for money. I have managed to reduce that by approx 25%, and I am willing to try for more.

SO..... I have been thinking for quite some time that with this little money I make, maybe, just maybe, I can fund at least half of my dreams myself, maybe by investing. I have like 1-2 years before I fly abroad (potentially). The thing is, I do not have as much financial knowledge as required. I am not completely dumb, but yes, not a complete expert enough to make financial decisions related to SIPs, investing, stocks, etc etc.

One thing I have been thinking about is investing in SIP. Like I can do Rs500 monthly. So what are the risks in that? Do people lose money in SIP like the stock markets? Are there any other ways? What if I conclude my internship someday and have no money to put into it for a few months? Is trading in the stock market better?

I seriously need help with this. All I need is guidance and some information on what can be the best choice for me.

No scams please, I am just a student with bare income so I don't want to lose all of it in these gross scams 😭
