Situation in Bangaluru right now
I had my first technical round of interview as Sr. Android developer with Tech Mahindra and It went well. How long does it take to know about the result. Also how many rounds are there? The interviewer refused to say his name nor he appeared on video in the interview. Is that the company policy? Tech Mahindra

Based on my last visit, I think it’s way more progressive than even US!
All over this thread director 2! 😂
My spouse is still treated as a slut by my relatives because of our love marriage 12 years ago. I am lucky she does not understand my mother tongue because of which we are still married. You think people are accepting but some people never do change.
Time to crawl out from under that rock…
Everyone is free for their opinion but I think it’s not good and also not our culture to live together before marriage. There is a reason why certain customs have been put in place. We are losing our culture running after western traditions
Are you the same TCS dude who was crying about the British queen dying on another thread?
As desis abroad, I think we often tend to make the mistake (despite being reminded of it) of freezing the image of India at the time we leave the country. But the country moves on, and the speed of social change is incredible compared to other countries.
In my view, everything which is recognised as a taboo actually ends up having the opposite effect, by getting quite a lot of attention in the media and chatter these days. A progressive view on any such taboo also gives many people to differentiate themselves from the rest of the society. So the trend catches on and spreads quickly. In terms of having a gf/bf, at a certain age and especially if you are doing decently in your career, it’s pretty acceptable to be in a relation in upper middle class and middle class households (just spare them the details).
Marrying is also ok if it’s same social class/religion. Living in with them might be a tougher sell to your parents. But I guess couples tend to get around the issue easily if they want to, especially if they’re living away in a different city or using hotels to spend time w each other if they live in the same city as their parents. There is much more social and internal mobility in India than before. Teenagers from upper middle class in India watches the same content on Netflix as anywhere in the progressive world. Many of them might be wayyy more liberal than people who moved abroad.
Very true and people abroad hold onto that stuck in time culture and are behind here in US too. That diaspora concept is too real.

Big cities - it is common
Small towns - No
India these days is more western than western countries

Tu Consultant1 ka Bhai Hain Kya?
Sab fenku.
Since you have asked if is it common. In 99% of India, it's not common. Do not try to draw conclusions from Bollywood movies, it's just fantasy, nobody has love stories like that. And even if you get into a relationship, the intention is marriage and not just let me see what's there. Source: my own observations, born in a village and have lived from town to big cities.
Hmm okay, I think both of us are pretty much agree on this. But, the issue is subjectivity vs objectivity. May be 99% is incorrect figure objectively. However, very common is totally subjective interpretation.
I guess, we will not find a client who's gonna pay us $1.5 million dollar for quantifying this number. But if someone does want it, I guess it's a cool case to work on 🤣.
So, if anyone wants a gf/bf and you get it, good for you. Those who don't agree don't bother. At least, we have an option of arrange marriage.
It's Friday guys, either have a rest or blast depending on your liking. Happy weekend anyways!

Common in big metros. Not so common in small towns and villages.
I have friends in India who are in live-in-relationships. Why is this even a conversation in this decade? We’re way ahead of this crap. Love, marry and live with whoever you want
Sure I will. All the best.
Watch bollywood movies now, especially with that one actor. He's basically acting out sex scenes in every movie. Forgot his name but he's quite ugly too

EY1 - sab teri Tarah Brad Pitt look alike tho Nahin ho sakte
Depends on one’s age and if they are related.
My sister stayed for 2 weeks in the same flat with her son and live in girlfriend for last 3 years, they moved to a new city for jobs and sister was visiting them.
It was quite common even 8 years back when I left India and that was before the age of tinder.
After that India completely skipped the ‘pick up at a bar’ dating concept and went straight to tinder hookups!
Kpmg1 roomies are cool about it these days. Plus lots of hotels etc. Pickups at bar are fairly more common than you think or know
