DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

Guys, I've been watching matches alone since my childhood but I've never enjoyed it as much as I did this time. This year, again I watched all the matches by myself in my room, but thanks to Grapevine, I never felt like I was actually alone. I was watching on TV while replying and posting on Grapevine. It felt like I was watching it with all of you. Huge shoutout to @Micheal_Scott for the platform. Thanks to @BiryaniEnthu for all those amazing match threads. And to all the others @TheOatmeal @lord_ @Careermode @samosa @AlphaGrindset etc. for your commentary. Special thanks to my brother @GallonMusk, your predictions were always on point. And that biryani is on me 😂. @IntrovertBeing next World Cup, remind me and I'll get you that blue jersey. Enjoy, guys, we finally won it! 🇮🇳

I am starting a new trend on Grapevine. Sharing a glimpse into my life today. Tag me if you add your weekend scenes here. ✨ Starbucks for me and Shopping for Ma + BAE. My wallet gon' hurt today 🫣

I'll go first - Shut laptop, get in comfy clothes and watch Amar Singh Chamkila! Imtiaz Ali after 4 years!!

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

It's been 4 years since covid started and all of us went into the first lockdown (24 March 2020). I just thought of this while making another post, and this has actually taken me aback. It was such a crazy time, and now it's just long gone. - We got a lot of time to be home, to be around loved ones, most of us are privileged and hence Covid wasn't bad at all. We were mostly making Dalgona Coffee, sourdough bread, playing PUBG, watching movies, etc. - A lot of us also lost loved ones. It was really brutal for those who did. And it was always scary for the rest of us. - Most of us who have been in tech saw our salaries climb the fastest. The absolute peak job market, best hikes, the world was very positive in that sense - not as much work and enough pay to enjoy - The biggest thing I've noticed: Covid got me hooked to Instagram/YT Shorts/and other social media. I feel like I used to be more aware and awake before covid. Somehow, a lot of exposure to social media/content etc. has made me just very zoned out in life. I think a lot of us have a much shorter attention span. IDK if this is true, but certainly feels like it is true. Just penning this down because I'm genuinely tripping how long it's been.
