As a Lucknowite, I myself getting tired of people migrating to my city and purchasing land. They come from cities like Gorakhpur, Basti, Bahraich, Gonda, Ballia, Barabanki, Faizabad etc. Almost all are in Purvanchal or East of Lucknow. Hardly anyone from West of Lucknow.

These areas deserve good projects so that they don't have to come here. I am observing an increase in slums or poorly developed colonies in Lucknow. Crowd has increased so much that this city needs to expand it's borders exponentially.

The situation is such that I myself don't want to live in this city. It was much better place to live before 2010s. Growth has hampered the infra of this city. I want some cosmopolitan area in East of Lucknow which is closer to Gorakhpur, Basti, Ballia, Gonda. Why so much pressure on few cities? Doosra dharavi banana hai kya?

Ncr region is already overloaded with people but it will be a hassle for Eastern folks who have to leave home, that's why majority of migrants there are from districts in west of Lucknow. I heard news of some namo cities which are around ncr. I wish Eastern parts of this state could get such opportunities.

Municipality of Lucknow is getting overwhelmed. Stop squeezing 240M people in few places.

It's a huge drawback for me. I am a very poor learner and struggle to understand and absorb the information I read or see.

When I watch some informative video, I fail to keep up with what is being told. I cannot even understand properly after watching full video. Same in attending lectures. Whatever teacher says in classroom, I cannot even store and settle the lecture in my mind.

This is the reason why I am so behind. I cannot even learn new things. There are many informative videos in youtube regarding skills which I want to learn but my poor brain doesn't allows me. Everything just bounces from my head.

I am in mid 20s.

Few days back, I was watching some video about earning money. I found a video with title "Paise kaise kamaye. Paise kamane ka tareeka".

That video had some lists of options :

1. Buy share of some big company like Reliance.

2. You can earn comission by selling product ka lot kisi factory se

3. Start blogging channel in youtube

4. You can earn comission by reselling some digital product.

5. You can become a partner by investing in someone's business.

I am clueless about these things. I need to know a lot about these things before starting. What should I expect? What will be drawbacks? Are these things suitable for me?

One problem ended, now other problem just begun.

What I want to say is, summer ended, rainy season started.

These rains are another mess. I cannot even step out of my home safely. What if some puddle on road can electrocute me? Car or two wheeler can stuck in manhole or drain if waterlogging hides it. It is the most dangerous season for drivers and pedestrians. We got some relief from heat and power cuts but now we have to face another problem.

Every year we face this problem during July-September yet authorities do nothing to prevent further issues. Look at the damn roads!! It's all big holes everywhere where water collects. Why can't we have roads which would save us every monsoon? Daily commuters cannot even sit at home during rains like school children do.

It's such a messy season. I find winter to be the best season.

I am not an American, I am a foreigner who follows geopolitical news. I do hear a lot about Donald Trump. He speaks wtf he wants, he acts like a brat and talks like he owns the whole world. In reality, he has failed to change regime in Iran.

He made false promise to millions of Iranians who wanted to get rid of their atrocious dictator. He used to act as if he would bomb the hell out of Iran and install Pahlavi. He is now afraid of ordering the military to do ground attack in Iran and forcefully overthrow the regime. He replaced Khamenei with his son.

Had Obama took charge of this war, we would have witnessed Pahlavi coming back to Iran and bring secularism and peace. Iranians have faith in US to help them against Islamic rule. Iranian women are suffering. Iranians cannot even protest. Donald Trump is all talk and no action even though US military is capable of invading Iran.

Even in trade, he is afraid of China.

Whenever it rains outside, I go to the balcony and keep on staring outside at the rains. The obsession is so sick that I keep losing track of time and struggle to focus on important things. I stare at rains for a long time at a stretch. This sick habit is doing more harm to me than good.

I feel very uneasy and disturbed when I stop staring at rains after staring for some time. I feel like I couldn't experience or feel the rainfall enough. This world is tough, I have to be really focused and try to control myself. Others also call me out because I stare outside too long.

It's all because of not challenging my brain enough. All this started at school.

I have always been an average, below average or poor student at school. In higher classes, my performance declined. I couldn't solve things which my other classmates could do. One day, our computer lab assistant told me to use my brain when I was unable to solve a coding question in computer. He wasn't wrong.

Not using my brain enough has caused rust in my brain. You can observe from my style of writing. I don't sound smart at all. I am in mid 20s, now I have no hope of increasing my intelligence. What I did in my growing years was not at all good. I am born in a middle class family and majority of jobs which match my intelligence level pay less. The smarter ones of my batch are enjoying high paying jobs.

It's not that my genetics is bad. Many of my distant relatives are settled in foreign countries and one of my close relatives is settled in UK at a high post.

When I crossed 11th grade, topics used to bounce over my head. I had no idea of concepts. My rank in class 9th used to be 18th or 19th out of 33 students. In senior classes, I ranked last or 2nd last. I couldn't level up myself. My grades were bad in college too. I did BA and had easy subjects yet I couldn't score above 6 SGPA.

I had a stress like feeling when I used to challenge and pressurise my mind during school days. Avoiding this pain is what kept my mind dull. Use it or lose it, that's the case with my brain. My mind is so dull that I cannot even handle real life situations smartly.

My inability to drive vehicle is the reason I am really stuck in life. I am supposed to atleast know how to drive a two wheeler because it is the most cost effective mode of transport for daily commute to workplace. Car is only for rich people, majority uses two wheeler for daily commute.

I made a huge blunder by not learning how to drive a two wheeler in my life. This is the reason why I am thinking about building career in fields where I can do WFH/remote jobs. I cannot even find rent in areas with good public transport availability because we don't even have capacity to afford higher rent. What rent we can afford will definitely take us far from areas with good connectivity.

If I keep on relying on ola/uber/rapido for daily commute, it will burn heavy amount of money. Just imagine 40% of your salary goes in commute. What's the point of getting salary then?

I am willing to do remote/wfh jobs due to this reason only. Unfortunately, people say that I have no work experience to get those jobs. I don't have any skill. I don't know which skill I should learn to get such type of jobs. If I learn any skill, I want to learn it online rather than going and commute far. I only got a BA degree and that I did completed 2 years ago.

If I start learning to drive a two wheeler, it will take me a lot of time. When I don't know cycling, how am I supposed to know riding a scooty or motorcycle? I wish I should have learnt it earlier. This inability is hampering my life decisions. Also huge majority of jobs here are far from my home.

Kanwariyas in one side, bajrang dal guys in other side.

Sawan is going to start next month and so does kanwar yatra. Be ready for huge drama which usually happens in that season.

Non vegetarians will have to compensate meat, fish and eggs with something else. I never see a single meat and egg shop open in 30 days Sawan. Hope the non-vegetarians manage with soya badi, paneer, chana, rajma, whey protein powder. Sawan is a pawan month, a very holy month. Your nutrition argument against govt won't even work. Don't dare to order non veg or eggs online otherwise some bajrangi saffron gunda will stop your delivery guy and then call you.

Drivers, don't get kanwariyas angry otherwise they will smash your car with their lathis. You should be wary of these bholenath ke bhakts. You need to understand that roads don't belong only to you but also these kanwariyas. I know some kanwariya will destroy some car in coming month as every year they do.

I once had a negative experience with them. I was sitting in yellow green auto and my driver was taking U-turn. Suddenly some kanwariyas hammered lathis on our auto. Luckily, no damage happened to the vehicle and he managed to flee his vehicle away from the scene. What driver said to himself was funny. "Kisi din bholenath ke paas pahunch hi jaoge. Raam vaam sab paraye hai?". This incident happened in Feb, not July-August.

If you don't close your meat shops, Bajrang Dal guys will beat the hell out of you. If you drive around kanwariyas, they will smash your car. Yogi ke berozgaar foot soldiers ab action mode me aa hi jayenge.

I have made my mind. I want to do jobs in which I don't have to rush every morning, getting prepared and then go in traffic. I also have a wish to live wherever I want, not the places where I am given job. I don't want to live separately from my parents.

The problem is that I don't have any specialization skills. I have skills which don't matter much such as digital Proficiency in mobile. I am in no mood to pay for degree or course currently. I only have one BA degree. I have no work experience at all.

I am looking for skills I can learn online for free and that could give me jobs which are remote/wfh.

My dad is in his early 60s who retired from a corporate job. He applied for countless posts in last 15 days yet he is not getting any calls from any employer. Don't know what mistake he is making. He is unable to figure out.

He just searches for jobs within the city limits.

It's not necessary that I will have to be their permanent resident. I just want decent money. In India, it is too tough to land a decent paying job where there is too much competition. The jobs which pay less in India actually pay well abroad. There are many countries but unable to decide.

I from a middle class family living in a tier 2 city. Currently I am in financial crunch. I just have a BA degree and have reached an age where I am supposed to get a job. I have no skill or work experience. Maybe I am quite proficient in digital things but only in phone. I know basic ms word and excel in phone but that's not a special thing.

I have no qualifications besides a BA degree. I have zero skills and work experience but I need remote jobs.

I have AI apps like Chatgpt, Claude sonnet and Gemini. I wish I could make a good use from these apps but I am in no position of buying ther pro version.

I do use these apps for fun but not for real life use. I want to learn something for free. Don't know how your advice is going to work for me as I belong to a different country.

They will justify their action by saying that iskcon food is much better than tmc era meal. They will justify their vegetarian imposition by proving the good nutrition which comes from eating soya chunks, paneer. People are now even agreeing with their point too. This meal (iskcon meal) is obviously still legit and better, that's what people are saying. We don't have arguement against their imposition too.

They won't shove vegetarianism so aggressively. They will use subtle methods, which includes brainwashing children into becoming future vegetarians. BJP thinks it can provide better nutrition from veg diet by giving contract to Organizations with lots of money.

If you talk about culture, they will say Hare Krishna is also Bengali culture too where you need to have sattvic diet. They got iskcon or Chaitanya mahaprabhu as a reason to make Bengalis vegetarian. Do we have arguement against this bengali culture where devotees don't eat meat?

There are three theories behind BJP promoting vegetarianism -

1. BJP is controlled by powerful Gujaratis or even Gujarati businessmen who use BJP as a tool to spread their vegetarianism. We didn't witness this in Vajpayee times.

2. RSS teaching. All those who were trained in RSS are taught, Hinduism means vegetarian. The proprietor of RSS really supported the idea of vegetarianism.

3. Majority of BJP leaders are from veg dominated states. Their views decides the policy of party.

They ate fish to convince Bengalis before elections. Once they get chance, they start promoting vegetarianism.

This question is only for those who has either left this state or willing to leave this state for opportunities.

This state has very low job opportunities except Noida and Ghaziabad. That could be reason why many UPiites go out.

Regarding myself, I may try to leave this state for better life in future. I admit I was born in this state which is not my fault. Nobody chooses their birthplace but they can still try to move out. I don't cry about being born in UP and feel unfortunate. I should be glad that I can still try to move out from this mess.

I hate this idea of rising early every morning, getting prepared and rushing to office in traffic. We have to do it because we have to survive. I am simply not made for this modern world. I need the freedom to take leave whenever I want but we cannot do because employer will either cut your salary or replace you.

To obtain any career achievement in life, one has to sacrifice their mental health and go through a lot of rough things. I cannot live the life I want. I wish I could survive without any job and roam around in the hills in peace.

Living in this world means constant worry about money and jobs. You get only sundays to relax. Cannot even leave jobs and do business. In business, you have to be present all time, even in sundays. I am not even blessed with generational wealth like 1% do.
