i want to know if there is a common greeting in sanskrit which is related to peace like in the above arabic greeting.
So I am 26M a non smoker and a very occasional drinker that too after 2-3 months and all and at that time also I prefer 1-2 pint beer or a 30ml whiskey. I have smoked here and there once in a while but have never been addicted to it. Rather I hate it. Just now 30 minutes ago don't know what hit me in head and out of some personal stress I went out bought 2 gold flake cigarettes and smoked it. Now I am feeling super guilty about it.
I know how bad it is for health. Smoked these 2 cigs after almost 4-6 months after I last smoked 1 cigarette. Everyone knows out there that I am a non-smoker but don't know what I felt and smoked it..
Feeling so so low and guilty about that I did it. Don't know why... even I am getting negative thoughts that can these 2 cigarettes can cause me bad health or no..
Please help me get out of this guilt guys.. it's eating my head and causing anxiety..
Will never smoke this shit again... it's so bad really.
Rant over.
Does anyone have some contacts with doctors of AIIMS PATNA. I have some problems that needed surgeries.
I have lumbar slip disc (herniated disc) for the last three years, recently diagnosed with appendicitis, severe ear infection, cervical spondylitis. Any one of these diseases is not a problem but all of them together is causing a lot of pain.
I have decided to have surgery for my lumbar slip disc but we don't have finances for it. That is why I am going to AIIMS PATNA.
But many people told me that you have to have some connections there to get things work.
I request to any one of you that if you have some contacts with staffs or doctors of AIIMS than please help me.
Hi, so first off I am a white guy non binary in the u.s 23 years old. So im truly wondering is there any brown girls or Indian girls in this world right now, who are autistic, adhd, neurodivergent? Must be autistic, adhd and neurodivergent. who have these likes and dislikes.
likes: emotional soft guys, lgbt, video gaming, staying indoors, being a homebody, co dependency, 2 people really liking each other and want to spend every day together just maybe rarely taking breaks but if we’re the same won’t need any cause only differences make it challenging.
Dislikes: toxic masculinity, toxic positivity, toxic productivity, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, anti white racism, racism, “self love”, dumb guru love quotes, for example: “love yourself first”, “You can’t love someone else if you don’t love yourself” which isn’t true for me and a lot of people. Dislikes: “joking” meaning “it’s just jokes” I’m super sensitive and don’t desire to be around that.
dislikes: every single thing I listed, Desires: wants a boyfriend and is desperate for true meaningful love does not care if they still live with parents cause that’s ableistic if someone would cause everyone is different does not body shame, wants a sweet emotional guy co dependent not a “face” but who they are inside and similar to them but still finds them physically attractive and cute, not a “protector” or “strong masculine man” but a emotional soft, co dependent non binary guy.
I have returned to my village after years. I went to a nearby small market with my younger cousin sister. While we were walking around, we unintentionally went into a neighborhood, but we stayed on the main road. Sadly, many people, including uncles, boys and shopkeepers, stared at us shamelessly. Then, something awful happened. Three older men, around 60 years old, shouted at us. They asked my sister whose daughter she was and asked me whose son I was. I quickly asked my sister if she knew them, but she didn't. They kept calling us, but we ignored them to avoid trouble, especially because my sister was with me. Moral policing on the way, it was! It's sad that girls can't feel safe going out in places like this, even with their brothers, let alone with male friends.
I don't tolerate this kind of behavior, but I've dealt with it before by staying calm. However, I worry that if it keeps happening, I might lose my temper and face legal consequences. We really need to educate people better.
I am from Delhi, I've visited the 7 sisters and I feel they are very underrated, the ppl there are more then friendly, they would consider anyone as their own family, they also have civic sense which lacks in the ppl of Delhi, UP, Haryana, etc.. they know how to keep their state clean and green, basically it is a heaven, Nagaland has even banned the use of plastic, the roads are new and constructed recently, but I dunno why it lacks from the main image of India perceived by the West and ppl of india itself, I can see Assam rising only now but I think we should popularise the place as a good tourist spots so as to increase the per capita and it would tremendously help in improving the image of India
WW3 or just another "China's final warning"👀
As someone who is interested in post modern history, I noticed these interesting aspects in both India and Israel's post modern history that I found to be very similar, and I thought I'd post some of them here:
Its interesting, because I would never have thought that either of these 2 countries would have had much in common, with Israel being an Abrahamic country and India being a Dharmic country. Yet despite this, there appears to be alot of interesting similarities between the 2 countries in terms of their creation, the wars they fought and the ideologies they followed. What are your thoughts on this?
even during the covid crisis and during the war in Ukraine and Gaza, our inflation rates haven't been as bad as under the UPA era.
"mehenga ka do jawab, mere vikas ka do hisab"?
They are planning to run first VB on Delhi-Mumbai or Delhi-Kolkata routes.
But it should ideally run on Mumbai to Bengaluru route.
Both the former routes already have quite a few premium trains on them. But the latter one does not. Mumbai-Bengaluru route is prolly the most underserved in the entire IR network.
But both MH and KA politicians have no influence in the centre, and they don't care about the connectivity on this route. Its pretty stupid.
Voters, arise!
A site called dataware sells information of students appearing for various exams like JEE,NEET.etc
It sells data which tells you students'name,his/her father's,mother's name and even the district the student lives.
Is this thing even legal??This pathetic!

Like lawyers and Judges should have done basics of certain course to fight the case and judge.. like cyber crime , medical services and food sciences. So that they don't get fooled. In America food companies changes some food colouring item because it has cancer causing chemicals. But they replaced it with its chemical cousin.. with identical properties.. How do you think this would affect our country?
