I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that the cost of living in India is getting really expensive—even in smaller, tier-3 cities. And honestly, I’m starting to feel genuinely worried about how the lower and middle class are managing to survive… or how they’re going to.

hate the concept of marriage so much. parents asked me twice, saying, "You're almost 25. Find a boy, get to know him; you can get married by 28." Both times I got furious and had a huge fight. I think the concept of marriage is so faulty; the whole thing doesn't even make sense.

It's been just three days since I started cooking all my meals, and between work, cooking, and cleaning, I’m exhausted. My respect for my parents—especially my mother—has skyrocketed. She managed to raise three kids, cook two meals a day, drive 70 km daily on a scooty for her.
Committed to cooking all three meals for the next 15 days—my first-ever meal prep is officially done! Excited to see how this goes. Salads, Paneer, Tempayy, Veggies sauted,rice, Overnight oats, Beetroot Sweet potato Tikkis- all ready.I just need to learn how to make a roti 🫡

I have such a huge crush on Sahiba Bali. I just can't get over that woman. Her mind is so beautiful, the way she openly speaks on things, working on multiple things at once and nailing all of them. Other than that, she is also the Marketing Director at Unacademy ig.

My father, who’s worked 14-16 hours a day for the past 45-50 years, slipped into depression last month and is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. For whole last month he just sat on the sofa and did nothing, so unlike him. Man has a passion towards cleaning - he can't sit idle.

Two businesses I see picking up fast in India:. 1. Matcha. 2. Nasal strips (for better breathing). Both are white-label + 80% marketing plays right now. Matcha’s mostly imported from Japan. Nasal strips from China. No one’s really building for India yet.

bored so here are a few skincare tips:. 1. If you are using a face wash with actives such as salicylic acid, niacinamide, etc., make sure to let it sit on your face for at least 2 minutes after massaging it well before washing it off. The same applies to anti-dandruff shampoos.

My parents are the nicest people I know, but unfortunately, they used to bargain with small vendors. Here's the story of how I convinced them to stop:. Once, we went to buy vegetables, and the bill came to 210 Rs. My mother started bargaining for a 10 Rs discount.
A middle class millennial will sip a mojito for ₹300 in a cafe and then feel guilty about it when they see their parents bargaining for ₹5 from the vegetable vendor. I am sure I am not the only one.

I really admire Sahiba Bali. How can she release at least 2 movies in a year, do podcasts, do that cricket commentary thingy, do auditions, and work a full-time job all at the same time? It's amazing how she manages to do all of this within the same 24 hours that we all have.

Adding an extra 10 Rs to your expenses today is not significant at all. However, that 10 Rs can increase the daily earnings of the vegetable seller by maybe 5% to 10%. You never know. Think from a larger perspective. Kindness always comes back".

Even though I'm 24 years old, I admit that I don't understand how to pick out good quality vegetables My parents are very disappointed in me for this as they can't send me to buy them.3 days later, when I went back to the same lady to buy vegetables, I ofcourse chose the wrong.

At that moment, I requested her to pay the full 210 Rs and suggested that we go home and talk about it. The vegetable seller, a lady, smiled at me and seemed happy. I gave my mother an example:."Imagine if you earn 1 lakh rupees a month, which is 3333 Rs per day.

It's so cold in Bangalore, rainy, and to top it off, constant electricity issues. Stepping out isn't an option because autos and cabs either cancel or refuse to go anywhere. Walking isn't any better—have you seen the roads? Footpaths don't exist. Just two days ago, I barely.

@psankar @nikanth If you think the vendor is trying to take advantage of you, change the vendor or bargain. 10-20rs bargain isn't worth the effort, secondly it takes a lot of efforts in what they do. If you are aware of root-level things, you will never bargain ( exceptions of oversmart venders).
