Hi guys, my mom’s birthday is coming up and i’d like to gift her some good kannada novels.

She loves Triveni and has read a lot of her books. I know Gruhabhanga is a favourite here but she just saw the serial adaptation recently.

I made a list of some good ones from the subreddit, let me know if I am missing something.

Malegalalli Madumagalu

Bettada Jeeva

Jugaari Cross

Muchchida Baagilu and Taavereya Kola (can someone review these?)

Kiragoorina Gayyaaligalu

Anchu

She would love something women-oriented and about their lives, romance and mystery.

I've spent so much time going over the feeling of "is this it?" Like for the next 30 something years, this is all that's gonna be in my life. Just work and make peanuts. Weekends don't feel like weekends at all.

And this is a job i actually wanted and rejected other opportunities for.

I haven't vibed with anyone else yet and I'm so exhausted. I log in on time, take short breaks so I can just get my work done and leave home sooner but even when I do get home, i am too tired to do anything.

I try to finish all my work by 6 despite the log off time being at 7 because I don't get my commute bus after that period but I think that's not allowed and idk I'm anxious about it all the time.

How do people deal with a 9 to 5? I don't think I'm cut out for that but I need the money and I'm struggling.
