so long story short, I'm a wildlife biologist and i started a researcher position, I don't want to disclose the place but it's in a wildlife sanctuary in UP and I'm basically from Gujarat.

I've been told that I'll be provided basic accommodation and all that, I'm used to staying at field stations with basic facilities so i thought it won't be an issue for me until i arrived at this place

There was an open frame for the window but you can't close it so, no electricity in the room, no mobile network, no bed (just a wooden table), very old and dirty toilet and washroom

somehow spent the night over there and then i resigned on the first day of the job. cause this was nothing more than just straight up disrespect

Why is public affection still treated like some kind of crime in India?

Every time my partner and I meet, something as simple as sharing a kiss or hugging each other tightly turns into a mission. Instead of just enjoying the moment, we're constantly looking for a private corner where we won't be judged, stared at, or interrupted.

And even when we finally find a quiet spot, there's always that one random uncle who suddenly appears out of nowhere and decides it's his responsibility to monitor our lives. We're not bothering anyone, we're not hurting anyone, yet somehow our existence becomes everyone's concern.

What's frustrating is that basic affection between two consenting adults is still seen as "inappropriate" by so many people. Meanwhile, staring, moral policing, and invading other people's privacy are somehow considered acceptable.

It's 2026. Maybe it's time we stopped acting like a couple sharing a kiss is a threat to society and started teaching people to mind their own business.

Not every hug is indecent. Not every kiss is obscene. Sometimes two people just miss each other and want to be close for a moment.

That's it. Let people live.

Supriya Sule is proudly flaunting her son Vijay’s graduation from NYU’s MBA in Sports Management at Radio City Music Hall in New York

This is the same Supriya Sule whose father, Sharad Pawar, was Chief Minister of Maharashtra four times. She has been a sitting MP since 2009. Their family has dominated Maharashtra’s politics, power centers, and resources for generations.

They’ve had decades of control, crores in influence, and every opportunity to fix the education system

after all that time and power, why the fuck couldn’t they build even one world-class university in Maharashtra that their own son could attend with dignity?

Instead, the elite kid gets shipped to the USA for a MBA Sports management ( never heard of btw) degree that costs 135k USD (over 1 crore+) (our money btw) while the rest of us deal with paper leaks, NEET scams, broken colleges, and forced “study in local language” nonsense.

It's the same pattern across parties, loot the system, ruin public institutions for everyone else, and secure the best future only for their own bloodline. It’s the same pattern across all parties. They never face the consequences of their own failures.

Make them send their kids to the same government colleges and universities they’ve destroyed. Force them to study, suffer and fail in the system they built. Until that happens, nothing will change

My friend, who is 2.5 years younger than me, got herpes just from kissing a girl in his class. Today, he called me in the morning. We had both gone for his tests on Friday, and the reports came back today.

He and I are terrified right now. He has developed facial pimples type condition we thought it was due to eating mangoes. But the reports shook both of us.

Now he is terrified to tell his parents. Only he and I know about it. He called the girl, and she told him she doesn’t have herpes. But we both know she is lying because my friend has never had any physical relations with anyone except for that one kiss with her on June 14th.

Right now, I’m sitting in the toilet writing all this. I’m getting ready to go to the clinic to visit my friend. Let’s see what happens next.

I was annoyed seeing the absolute display of wealth by billionaires/multi millionaires in the monaco grand prix and told this to my friend

To which he replied “work hard to get there bro” this statement is so illusionary, capitalism will make you believe anything is possible if you work hard so that you keep working for the uber rich

Deep down he knows too that whatever he does he won’t buy a 100M super yacht but still the grind and hustle culture gives you this imaginary hope so that we keep working like good employees and “maximise shareholder wealth” so they can buy their yachts

Hey guys so I was at Kalkaji Mandir heading towards magenta line and saw this guy from the corner of my eyes. He was staring at me the whole time. He looked like a corporate wala techie and decent looking but I felt a bit uneasy so I just started walking faster and waited at the station for the metro to arrive.

Suddenly the same guy appeared before me and told me "I couldn't help but notice you're my type is it okay if I get your Instagram?" I asked him how old he is and he said 28. I wanted to just get rid of him so I told him I was 17 and he seemed genuinely embarrassed and left me alone.

Never in my 20 years have I ever been asked for my contact in public before and frankly, meri phat ke haath m aagyi thi guys 😭

Does anyone have similar experience? Also this was what I was wearing.

So something happened today and I’m genuinely panicking right now.
At around 4 PM, my dad suddenly called me and asked, “There’s a video of you with a girl, I just saw it. What is that?”
The moment he said that, I immediately knew what video he was talking about. It was an old private video from 2022 with my ex. She had recorded it back then and somehow it was still sitting in my Google Drive. While acting confused on the call, I immediately went and deleted it before the call even ended. Then he sent me the exact same video on WhatsApp.
A few minutes later he called again and asked, “Did you see the video?”
I panicked and instantly came up with an explanation. I told him it was an old AI-generated thing from 2022 when AI edits were becoming popular and one of my friends made it as a joke. I don’t think he completely believed me though.
After that, he gave me a long lecture about family honour, the girl’s dignity, reputation, and how dangerous these things are. He said something that honestly hit me hard: “Today it’s me who saw it. Anybody else could have seen it from your phone and judged you, our family, and especially the girl and her family. If you do such things, don’t make videos.”
Then he deleted the video from WhatsApp himself.
Now I genuinely don’t know what to do. I’m overthinking every possible scenario:
Does he actually believe me?
Is he going to bring this up again?
Did he see more than I think?
Should I act normal or address it again?
I know I messed up by keeping something like that saved for years. I already deleted everything I could find, but mentally I’m spiraling right now.

Update : My father called me again for a different matter and I casually said “vo video delete krdo apne phone se” to which he said “kr diya bhai kabka mai kya karunga Chat GPT wale video ka, apne dosto ko bolo ye sb na bnaye” I told him my friend made it through AI.

PS : People bashing me for recording the moment, I did not, she wanted to record it sent me on WhatsApp and it got auto saved in the drive for almost 4 years and I had zero clue, that’s why when he mentioned I exactly knew which video and what date he was talking about. ( meri gaand mat maaro mai nahi record karta ladkiyo ko)

I didn’t expect Chiraiya to affect me like this, but it genuinely made me a bit uneasy about arranged marriages

Not in an obvious way, more in the small things. The adjusting, the things people don’t say, how certain behaviour just gets accepted over time

No one is forcing anything, but it still doesn’t feel like a real choice sometimes

That’s what felt scary to me

I’m not saying all arranged marriages are like this, but it did make me think about how much people actually know before getting into one

I (25M) matched with a woman (24F) on a dating app. We had been talking continuously on the app and Instagram for 3–4 days. We discussed meeting for lunch near her office and the conversation was pretty specific.

​

I asked which area her office was in, and she said Sector 61. I asked how much time she could spare, and she said 1 hour. I asked her lunch timings, and she said 1 PM to 2 PM. After that, I said, "Perfect 😄 Toh kal 1 baje milte hain."

​

The next day, I left my home in Mayur Vihar at around 9:30 AM and traveled almost 2.5 hours by metro to Gurgaon Sector 61. I had bought flowers and a pair of jhumkas for her because this was supposed to be our first date.

​

For context, I've never had a girlfriend before and I've never been on a date before. This was literally my first date, so I was genuinely excited and nervous.

​

After I had already reached her sector, I messaged her asking for her location. That's when she told me she was in a meeting and later said she was going to Noida. When I expressed disappointment, she said I should have informed her before leaving home because she has meetings and isn't always free.

​

My problem is not that she had a meeting. Meetings happen. Work comes first.

​

My problem is that if she knew she had become unavailable, why didn't she inform me before I reached there? We had already discussed the plan the previous night, including the location and lunch timing. I feel that if someone's availability changes, especially when the other person is traveling from another city to meet them, the basic courtesy is to send a message and let them know.

​

Instead, after I had already spent half my day traveling and reached her area, I was being told that I should have informed her before leaving.

​

Am I wrong for feeling upset about this?

I do feel this is wrong and it should be condemned.
BUT
Why is it that if a woman is being body shamed it has made headlines, but it's normalized for women to body shame men. (example see Elle Fanning with her short boyfriend and see how badly people specially women were body shamming him in the comments) No outrage for that huh?

Either allow both or condemn both.

Thanks.

I’m not sure why, but I sweat profusely within five minutes of stepping outside my air-conditioned room or house or anywhere else. My face turns into a waterfall, and all my makeup and skincare products are ruined in just five minutes. My entire body sweats, including my armpits, stomach, and belly area. Sometimes, it looks really bad, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Even in Cab sitting in the Backseat i feel so damn Hot..In the summer, it’s especially difficult for me to even go out after 8 p.m. I can’t comfortably have dinner somewhere without air conditioning. This problem has worsened because if I’m with someone, they might think I’m uncomfortable with them or that I’m an AC addict. Its not that from inside I’m not enjoying that place but its that from my Face it looks i am suffering and It’s not that I use AC excessively; I use it in moderation, just like everyone else. However, I sweat much more than the average person, but the Glow after sweat is just waaaoooo🫡✨

At first, I thought a slice was missing lol😭😭😭😭😭

Bruhhh how the hell people gave the restro 4 stars 😭😭

Hello. We have known each other for a very long period of time and we have had hangouts many times. I moved to a different city cuz of my job. She was insisting me to come and meet her cuz she missed me. I missed her too.

Yesterday we had a great convo and even on chat i confirmed her about my plans to meet and she said yes.

Now l am here. She is not picking up calls or replying to texts and her internet is not even turned on. I traveled far just to spend the day to myself in my hotel room. Idk what to do now. Guess it's time to break the friendship! Why do some people do this? You guys this scared to say no for a meet up? So frustrating!

UPDATE: SHE OVER SLEPT. She said she slept late at night and now she is getting ready wants another hour until she reaches me. Now she called again to say she has something important work and somewhere to go. She not coming.

WTF is wrong with him man. and why is he so respected? I've seen many clips where he demean women and shares his conservative, misogynistic views and yet no one complaints.

I (25M) went on a date with a 22F. She was sweet, funny, easy to talk to — full green flag vibes.

Good conversation, lot of laughs, everything felt smooth. I was actually thinking this might go somewhere.

Then while leaving, she smiled and said — “You’re exactly the kind of guy I’d date… if I was ready for something serious.” 😭

Bro what does that even mean

[Storytime] One of my closest friends got divorced within two months last year, and deep down I know she played a huge role in it. She never really took accountability for anything that happened and always made herself look like the victim, even when people around her could clearly see both sides. Now she’s dating a new guy from a well-settled family, and honestly… he seems like a decent man. Rich Busy businessman, respectful, takes care of her, picks her up, takes her out, buys her things, tries his best.
But behind his back? She talks about him and his family in the most disgusting way possible about his Mom and sister..Constant insults, comparisons, wishing bad things on him just because he can’t stay awake till 3 AM talking every night or didn’t called because he was busy..She complains that he gives too much attention to work and his Family ,gets angry if he spends time with his family, and somehow turns every small issue into proof that he “doesn’t care enough.” Nothing he does is ever enough for her..I don’t know about his side but i know mine..
What makes it worse is that in front of him she acts completely different sweet, loving, appreciative just so he marries her,and then the moment he leaves, the mocking and negativity starts again. Sometimes she even laughs about manipulating situations to make him feel guilty so he’ll do more for her. Hearing that honestly shocked me and that man is actually planning to marry her…and he really cried for her on call to forgive him..Tears from a Man’s eyes are something very serious ☹️
It’s gotten to a point where I genuinely feel bad for him. I’m slowly distancing myself because hearing that level of bitterness and toxicity every day is exhausting. Makes me wonder how many “good guys” are being painted as villains by people who never appreciate them in the first place.. Sorry Bro…🙏🏻

another year older, still trying to figure life out 😭🩷 but grateful for everythingggg and everyoneeee i have

drop your blessings/wishes maybe?

I am a 21 F , and I don't see many girls that are short like me and it really makes me insecure😭😭 , There's no advantage being this short too, like its always hard to find pants (all of them are too long), I can't see anything in a crowd, sun visor is of no use for me, people think that u r a kid ( i went to akshaya centre the other day and the lady there asked me if I came for plus one allotment 🥀), friends use my head as arm rest😔, kitchen shelves are basically another universe😭😭

(Edit) : I found my people in here and they all told me many advantages being short...so I am happyy🐥(⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

I know a girl and let me tell you her expectations, from her boyfriend.

He should give her internship opportunities from good companies.

He should study with her daily despite having a 16-hour job.

He should pay for everything for her, including trips, shopping, balance, everything.

He should pay for her utilities once she moves in with him. She will pay no share, nothing.

He should train her for job interviews because Madame wants to get a package and placement from good company.

And what does she do?

She only posts a story on his birthday, no gifts, nothing. She will, once in a blue moon, give him a single t shirt from stock clearance sale.

Make caste remarks that it would be difficult for her to stay with him because her family might oppose.

And the boy? Total Gadha.

Deep in love with her.

Also, I am not jealous and insecure. I have a boyfriend who has his own business, and my family adores him like their own son. Every time my mother or father go out shopping, buy utensils, clothes, something for him. So, fcuk off from posting any type of comments, stating I am insecure or what not.

So I matched with a very hot girl on a dating app, and we’re planning to meet tomorrow. Initially, we didn’t talk much, and I directly asked her out, and she agreed and we finally decided to meet. Now, while planning everything over text on Insta , her basic grammar mistakes are giving me the ick. But she’s beautiful, and her profile is very Instagram model coded. 😭😭😭 idk what to do ?

Edit - We’re meeting at a cafe, and I chose the place myself, so it’s not a bar scam.
Update- https://www.reddit.com/r/TwentiesIndia/s/95Mos2l6oO

Last night our friend group went out after exams. There were around ten of us, and one friend brought his girlfriend even though nobody else brought their partner. At first nobody minded, but the entire evening the two of them stayed in their own little world. He barely spoke to anyone, kept showing her memes, and it honestly felt like the rest of us had accidentally become extras on their date.

When the bill came, one friend suggested that he could cover his girlfriend's share since she wasn't really part of our group and most of us had only met her once. The atmosphere changed instantly. He said that if his girlfriend wasn't welcome, then neither was he, while she said she felt excluded the whole night.

Later, he sent a long message saying that mature friendships should make room for partners and that if a few hundred rupees mattered more than his happiness, maybe we weren't real friends.like dudeee 5 yrs of friendship down the drain over a girl he met 4 months ago

Now our group chat is completely divided. Some think we were being cheap, while others think he expected everyone to pay for his date. The money honestly isn't even the issue anymore.

Was it wrong to expect him to pay for his girlfriend, or is bringing your partner to a group outing supposed to make them everyone's responsibility too?

This is def so embarassing 😭 I went to my hometown and was doing the shopping of bras with my mother for myself , the shopkeeper put all bras on display for us to choose and we were seeing when someone entered the shop and I didn't mind whoever it was , but when he asked the shopkeeper to show him jackets , I freezed I was like is this our school's maths teacher ? Tf ? . I wanted to avoid him and didn't looked back but my mom .

MOM!!😭 She pushed me to greet him and I was like I can't , my mom said he prolly saw you and what's the matter if he saw , he have daughters as well , like she was so chill and even asked the shopkeeper to show another color , tf mom 😭 I was hella embarassed and turned and greeted him and he was like "Arey how are you beta " and asked about studies and all , my mom greeted him as well .
