So I’m Nigerian and from the Igbo tribe but my parents never spoke Igbo to me or my siblings growing up so none us can speak it. There is an Igbo podcast I’ve started listening to to help me learn Igbo and it’s been great, I’ll try to use the phrases we learn on my parents and they love that I’m trying to learn

I really love it. It’s my first animal crossing game too. Very relaxing and nice distraction.

I found these little kits on Amazon that are called “diamond paintings” - it’s similar to a paint by number and it’s been really therapeutic! Super affordable too (but not sure what to do with them when they’re finished? 😂)

Hello Bengaluru people,

I have same CTC offers from pune as well as from Bengaluru.
Bengaluru company job profile seems more better and Pune company job profile seems less better.

I'm worried about food in Bengaluru that will I get the good North Indian food daily. I don't like rice and south Indian food. I mostly eat chapati and all spicy north Indian thing.

Pune Seems better in terms of food and money. Should I come to Bangalore or not that's the point.

Waitlisted at UVA Darden, accepted to a MS IT Management.

Previous military so I have a GI Bill to burn through. I'm waitlisted at Darden's EMBA and accepted to a 1-yr MS IT Management program.

My thought is that if I don't get off the waitlist, I can do the MS MIT this year then the EMBA next year. My mentor thinks the MS MIT might pigeon-hole me into the tech-only world and be redundant if I'm going to go on to get the EMBA.

I'm starting my first year consulting on an IT contract in June.
