r/Faridabad

I'm planning to start an independent bookstore in Faridabad, but I don't wnat it to be just a place where people buy books and leave.

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to start an independent bookstore in India, but I don’t want it to be just a place where people buy books and leave.
My idea is to create a space where people can:
Browse and buy books.
Sit and read comfortably before deciding to purchase.
Spend a few hours reading in a quiet environment.
Join book clubs, author talks, discussions, and reading challenges.
Meet other readers with similar interests.
I’m trying to build something that encourages a genuine reading culture rather than just selling books.
I’d love to hear your honest opinions:
Would you visit a place like this?
What would make you come back regularly?
Would you pay for a membership if it offered benefits like unlimited reading time, discounts, exclusive events, or book borrowing?
What do you dislike about most bookstores today?
If you could design your ideal bookstore, what would it include?
Do you think this business model is financially sustainable in faridabad?
Please be completely honest—even if you think it’s a bad idea. I’d rather hear criticism now than make expensive mistakes later.
Thanks in advance!

Quarter bar in faridabad???

Hi faridabad ki public. I've recently shifted from Mumbai my office is in gurgaon and I've taken up residence here in faridabad. Wanted to know if there is any quarter bar here. I really miss those from Mumbai, the pocket friendly alcohol, good food and service without the noise of a BYOB.

I've tried places around but most of them are very loud or the food is trash.

Do let me know of suggestions thanks.

Let’s make new friends in Faridabad. 👀

I feel like my circle has become too small lately. If you’re from Faridabad and want to meet someone new, let’s plan a coffee or just hang out. Good conversations are all I’m looking for.

6 years together, betrayal, and I still can’t let go. How do I move on?

Sorry for the long post, and thank you if you make it till the end.

I met a guy online in 2018 through social media. We were from the same city and community, and later I found out our families had known each other for decades. We were just online friends at first, but after about two years we finally met in person. It felt like I’d known him forever.

After a few months of talking every day and spending time together, I confessed my feelings. I made it clear from the beginning that I wasn’t looking for anything casual—I wanted a relationship that could eventually lead to marriage. He took about two weeks to say yes because he’d come out of a long relationship, and I respected that.
Looking back, I had an anxious attachment style while he was very avoidant. I was clingy, and he often said he felt suffocated. Despite our differences, I believed we were building a future together.

Everything fell apart in 2023. I found out he had cheated on me with a colleague who became pregnant. He told me it was a one-time mistake, and against my better judgment, I forgave him. Later I discovered the affair had actually continued on and off for around 1½ years.

Our families knew about us, and there had been discussions about marriage. His mother even encouraged it. He wanted to wait until 2028 because he didn’t feel financially stable. I agreed, but suggested a private court marriage first. He refused, asked for space, and within weeks he was already dating other people.

The last conversation we had shattered me. He told me he never intended to marry me, never saw me as his wife, and criticized me for my weight and other things. After that, he blocked me everywhere. I never contacted him again.

He’s now in another relationship, and I genuinely wish him well. I don’t want him back, but I still miss him every day. I was bedridden for months after the breakup, and even now I feel emotionally numb. I struggle to connect with new people.

One thing I don’t understand is why he occasionally views my WhatsApp status from another number after blocking me everywhere else, and why he kept his birthday as my birthday after we broke up. I know it probably doesn’t mean anything, but my mind keeps wondering.

How do you let go of someone who was your whole future? I don’t regret loving him, but I wish I knew how to move on. My family thinks I handled the breakup well, but the truth is it feels like a part of me never came back.

Has anyone else been through something similar? How did you finally let go?
