So I went to a government hospital during the covid, and an attendant checked my BP with a bp machine and when I asked her about the units and the numbers. She was like "idk." She didn't know what mm hg meant. She fucking didn't even know whether my BP was NORMAL or not. My pulse was 67, I was fainting and feeling dizzy at that time. Thank you, ma'am for leaving me to dahh.

I'm not saying this won't happen in a private hospital. I went to a private, reputed hospital to get my blood group test done for some reason, the MF told me that my blood group was b+ when it was not. Mf. I found out about it months later. I was much younger, naive, stupid enough to put my life in hands of such people. And thank you sir, I could have died of some blood transfusion or something. All because of you.

These people know they're not competent enough for the position, yet they stay and fuck up other people's lives.

Where are strict rules? Why aren't people fearing committing a crime? Why the incompetence? So many problems, no solution. Screw and fudge such people on so many levels. It is scary livin' here, waiting for someone to fuck up our lives.
No politician will help us. We all poor(as in powerless) people will dahh. Only the rich and influential people can survive here in India. Agree or stay on that imaginary hill you built for yourself. If govt doesn't step up its game, then we all are done for. i just thank my lucky gods that I didn't end up in a ditch. It's my lucky day after all.

Ps: repost, flood assistant took matters into its own hands and deleted my post last time.

Wait's over. Gabimaru and gang, I'm all set.

Planning a trip to Chennai next month, will be staying there for about 2 weeks.

Konchem Tamil language nerchukundham anukuntunna, just basic convos ki like "how much" "where's this place" "how far" "directions" kinda sentences.

Also, is learning Tamil hard for a Telugu speaker? (Hindi kuda raadhu asale naaku, Hyderabad lo edho manage chesa at times kaani.)

Telugu vallu evaryina Tamil nerchukoni unte, Spoken Tamil, grammar, written Tamil ki resources or tips ivvandi pls. Thanks, all!

So, a few days ago, I was travelling on a train and saw a woman dumping all her food wrappers on the railway track from a moving train. She also threw out a load of empty "plastic" bottles onto the tracks, and proceeded to spit through the window when the washroom was just a few feet away. This is one of hundreds of situations we see on a daily basis.

Before I actually talk, defending such behaviour is nothing but cowardice and a foolish act.

here's what's on my mind:

Fines, booking them under law, teaching them the consequences of the actions.

like maybe govt can start by creating awareness, let's say, through announcements, posters, PR etc., initially. Ask public to maintain the decorum in public places, or else actions will be taken against them.

Next, if it goes overboard and they still wouldn't change, serious measures have to implemented. Confront them on the spot with an authorized person.

Maybe a govt app where people can actually click a pic or shoot a video and report someone failing misearbly at keeping public decorum. And govt can take action against them. The name of the app should be civic issues or something with civic, cause it's high-freaking time.

A whole crew has to be put into action to improve this situation and teach people how to uphold basic standard of behaviour in public places and take action if necessary. I know it's hard to monitor everyone but ig the condition will at least improve.

What I think would change:

First, if a few reports are investigated and necessary action is taken, then those people will educate their own family and acquaintances. It still has long ducking way to go tho.

I hope govt grows a spine or two to actually take necessary action. It might be hard but someone has to take the blow to implement it.
I dream of a day where I see people behaving like people in public spaces.
That's all.

Thanksss

To say I loved this book would be an understatement. Girls, it had everythin I ever wanted.

Yearning check.

Self-made FMC check.

Steam check.

Plot check.

HEA check.

I literally felt tingles at places while reading this one. God bless the author for bringing this kinda work.

That said, there was one detail that didn't sit well with me. >!So there's a scene where the MMC got a hard-on looking at the FMC, but she was 14 and he was 22 at that point. like what? Even tho nothing sexual happened between them until she was an adult, it was still uncomfortable to me. I'd have convinced myself if she hadn't been a minor.!< But if I could send this piece of information to the back of my mind, it's a perfect read "to me." >!Also, I guessed who the killer was, but I was wrong about the person who Guy was in love with that made him announce the divorce.!<

Now, I wanna read more of Linda Howard's work. Dunno what should I pick next. So the girl who recommended this to me: Thank youuu, and if anyone's reading this, which book of hers should I pick next?

Thanks in adv!

I love love age-gap romances (between consenting adults).

There's a dm on my account where someone asked me, "why are you into pedo stuff?" just 'cause I said I liked a certain book. Back then, I was too dumb to respond. Over time tho, I realized there can be love between two people who are old enough to consent.

I can't jus sit back when people call my fav mmc-fmc pairing a pedo romance. It pains me to admit that out in an open space like this,but just a moment ago I saw a post on another subreddit where people were bashing readers who enjoy age-gap romances.

I know age-gap romances might not be everyone's cup of tea, and that's completely fine. Your mental health is of utmost importance. What works for you works for you. But, why shame us? They're both adults. Why is enjoying that kinda fictional romance looked down on?

Plus, there're TWs for a reason. You chose to continue despite those warnings, and now you are calling the MMC a pedo and trying to judge. Isn't that a double standard? Idk. I could just say, "I'm outta here," but these posts are making me guilty and enraged, umm, so, I'd really like some perspective 'cause this has been bothering me.

Thankss.

EDIT: YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. THANK YOU ALL. YOUR WORDS MEAN SO MUCH TO ME!

I'm bookmarking this post. (What? I want to admire it in my archives later)

So today I came across a comment that said, "AP is Bihar of South." I've been seeing them for quite a while, but now is the time I decided to finally speak up.

There's a video circulating on Reddit that captured people plucking the plants at Bhogapuram Airport. It made me feel that people need to be educated about the consequences of their actions. It's was a such a bad incident. I don't defend that. BUT BUT BUT.

In the same post, I saw many comments which are degrading AP like, "AP is Bihar of South." "No wonder AP's literacy rate is low." etc. Do you see anything? I see hate on my state. Avasaramantara aa statements? Vaati valla oche pros:None.

What statements like this actually do(cons):

They don't address the actual issue and it's not criticism. It's straight-out hate and generalization. Generalization ki criticism ki teda telinollu kuda making derogatory statements about AP. They make more people look at our state through the same hate, when they don't even know what it's like to live in our shoes.

Repu inko 100 mandhi ochi "AP is Bihar" anatru instead of talking about the actual issue. So now what? Konni rojulu tharvatha, when someone asks why AP is called "Bihar of the South," asalaina problem evariki gurthundadu. Vellu create chesina trend thappa.

Idhe state lo students, working people, farmers, doctors, lawyers, carpenters, --you name it. heck, people from every profession unnaru. Don't you think calling our entire state something like that is no less than disrespecting all of us? How is it fair that vere state ki velli work chestunte, someone brings up the place I come from and proceeds to call it degraded because of certain incidents.

Andhra lo putti peraganodu kuda "Andhra is degraded" ante, how do you think it feels to be standing there and listening to that? It's become some cheap trend. Next-gen vallaki enduku "Bihar" antunnaro kuda teliyadu. Gumpulo govinda laga andarantaru ika.

My concern is simple: the next time you see an issue, stay on the issue. Criticize the issue. Hold people accountable for their actions. But don't drag an entire state full of people who are working their asses off every single day just to get by. Don't generalize. We're not against criticism. we're against derogatory generalization.

But if you choose to believe you're doing everyone a favour by commenting "AP is poor," "AP is Bihar," "AP is illiterate," and all that, then you're not solving anything. You're just creating a 100 more people who'll keep spreading the same hate.

Not in love caught me completely off guard. This isn't my usual type of romance, but I really enjoyed this fresh take.

I enjoyed how Eli and Rue bonded their way to love. Eli was basically like, "gimme a chance, and I'll give anything and everything you want." Can that man be any more obsessed? And the way he says "Rue" like he needs her to understand everything just by the way he says her name. I could practically hear him while I was reading. God, he's such an addict. Omg. And of course, Rue was just as compelling. She was fighting so many battles, her past, her situation, and her own feelings. At last she has come to terms with her feelings-- yayyy.

I wrote these quotes (not from not in love) 'cause this is how I summarize Eli:

Rue, I want to do this for you.

Rue, let me. Please.

Rue, look at me.

Rue, gimme your eyes.

Rue, I know.

Rue, we're in this together.

Rue.

They communicate with poker faces. Like, guys, I know you're meant to be.

I'm happy they found each other. That said..PSR is still my ultimate fave. (No offense.)
