Today, after almost 20 years in this country, I still pour a little water into the empty milk container to take what little bit is left behind. I am well and truly on my way to becoming my mom/grand mom

Ladies and gentlemen, the Desi of the year award goes to……🏆 🤣

I don’t press my clothes..I fold’em and put under my pillow before I go to sleeep :):) do I qualify for the MR.Desi competition?

How about a friend of mine who got 20KG rice bag for his short term stay? Is he in too?

Well he only brought rice so points deducted. But then he gets bonus points for bringing a whole lot more of it so it balances out. If he brought at least one pack of Atta Maggi or a utensil for making tea, he qualifies.

Been with a girl for years. We get along well and enjoy each other's company. We're comfortable around each other, and I've generally been happy with her.

Perspective check:

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Am I being dumb?

Any parents here who really struggled after the arrival of a new baby? It was a planned pregnancy, but after 2 years of this new life, I feel trapped and I feel like this is not the life that I wanted. I know I'll probably get a lot of mean comments here. Looking for anyone who might have experienced this to share their stories/outcomes/what you did. Thanks.

I accidentally overshared information about having anxiety and trouble focusing with someone who is kind of important at the company and now I regret it. She never responded and probably forgot about it but my husband told me that I shouldn’t have done that and I shouldn’t share things like that with people at work unless you are really close with them and now I’m freaking out and crying because I’m scared she will remember that and tell my boss or other higher up people.
