​"Today was the Onam celebration at my college. Throughout the day, I kept reminding my friends to call me if they were going anywhere, and they agreed. After the program, everyone was taking pictures around campus. I needed to go to the mosque for prayers, so before leaving, I reminded them once more to call me if they headed out. However, when I finished praying and called them, they said they were already at a restaurant because plans were made suddenly, and then they quickly hung up.

​I can't help but wonder why they did this. I'm not a bad person—I don't curse at anyone, and I treat everyone with respect. Patterns like this have been happening to me all my life, and I really wonder why. Does anyone have any advice?"

I've been talking to a guy for about a month. So far, I've had no negative experiences with him—he's respectful, doesn't push for photos/flirting and mostly talks about my hobbies, career and goals.

I have zero interest in premarital intimacy.

But I've read so many negative dating-app experiences that I'm getting paranoid 😭. So, has anyone here actually met a genuinely decent guy through a dating app and had it turn into a healthy relationship/marriage?

Would love to hear your experiences, especially if you were looking for something serious.

no matter how much good i do, i never come across people who are actually nice. why is everyone so evil these days. even though it's not my fault people just shout at my for no reason and release their stress as if im in the wrong.Since it's in my nature not react and just let things go, I've been living in ignore. but it gets to a point man

I work 10 hour shifts almost every day, do overtime, even work Sundays. Whatever I save usually goes toward my family. I try my best to be a good person and do right by people, but somehow nothing good ever seems to come back to me All I've gotten from life so far is disappointment and grief. I'm slowly accepting that I might never become the person or live the life I always imagined I genuinely don't know what I'm doing wrong

it's like god doesn't acknowledge existence of people like me, god took away my loved ones from me. I've been trying for years to acheive my goals but something always gets in my way and ruins everything. It's like im destined to crash down suffer and slowly perish

Im 21 currently doing CA internship in Bangalore, Currently 4 months in,

I know this might sound childish and stupid

Curious to hear what happened since I’m in middle of something like that

I'm currently in probation of my job. Just started as a fresher. In my past I tried to enter film industry as a writer and director. Now I got a chance to assist in a film but now I'm not sure about it. If I resign my job everything will be changed. And if I don't join as a assistant director I don't know I'll regret in future.

I’m seriously fed up with seeing Astro Talk ads everywhere. They’re absolutely impossible to escape, and I honestly can’t believe there are still people falling for these scams and paying money for this stuff. The amount of advertising makes it seem like there’s a never ending supply of people willing to believe these ridiculous claims.

Recently completed my college. Took BTech in AIML. I'm strong in ML, DL, CV, Full stack and related domains. I've also completed my Gen AI internship from cognizant.

I'm looking for such opportunities.

I have 2 Wonderla Kochi tickets valid till Sept. 30th, 2026.

Each ticket cost 1002/-

My primary doubt is:

Whether person B can go instead of person A for a ticket booked by person A? Cos last time we had gone, they just scanned the QR code and there was no identity checks or whatever.

In that case, does anyone want the tickets? We took it for a monsoon sale offer, so it's the lowest it can get like ever. Now, due to some personal reasons, we won't be able to go before Sept. 30th. If anyone interested, dm for more details.

🥲👍

Atleast, can anyone clarify my doubt?

Asking this out of mild desperation here. I am a 22F malayali living in delhi (born and raised in delhi). Growing up I had plenty of malayali friends and family friends. But over the years they all have moved back to Kerala or gone to other cities in India and around the world for their jobs and colleges. Some people retired. Some people just moved 3 hrs away from my house so it's really feasible to go meet them as frequently. It's great that people are living their life and all but as this onam approaches, for the first time I feel so lonely. Vishu, onam, christmas, eid, easter, having spent all of it with many of my malayali friends here for two decades together, for the first time having no one around me feels kinda daunting.

My parents are here with me. But my grandfather died earlier this year so we aren't planning to celebrate anything much this year (which we all agree is ironic cause my communist atheist grandfather definately did not believe in all of this sad sobby mourning. We ourselves don't know why we are not planning to do anything then). My college does not have any malayali(surprising for healthcare somehow). Hell the other people who are malayali around me are legit in their late 20s and busy working doctors. So it's not like I can just ask them to make plans with me for onam.

Maybe deep down this is just a vent, maybe it's asking people what their experience regarding all of this has been.

How do people deal with festive season alone? Especially when your friends (North Indians) don't really catch the significance to begin with?
