Age getting serious 😭

I know many oldies who should be fired immediately. Forget tech, they are not even able to manage teams properly. Even so called "Seniors/Leads" don't know how to be one, if you question them, somehow it hurts their ego and you need to follow/respect them because they were born earlier ? Tech should be limited to max till 12 years of work experience only, rest should transition into some other career, start your own startup or business or something but don't be an employee in a big company.

Not a Ctrl {C+V} I never used the Blind app to say, "People connected to each other over a thread and planned to meet outside the app, calling it a Blind date". Not giving any shit about that app. Why don't we start it here again? - NCR people are no less Let's see if we can beat bumble and shaadi.com - No need to beat the shit, just date Just enough to drop your details in this format. (Gender: M/F) | (Age) | (Location) | (One liner bio that won't disclose your identity) Example: M | 29 | Gurgaon | I like this, not that P.S: I am not taking any ownership for anything happening under this post, I am not a matchmaker. All the best! Changed the title from Blind Date to Wine Date, cheers to Grapevine ;)

My overall education started a bit late than normal people due to my fathers transfers and school admission rules. Consequently when I applied for JEE Advanced back in 2017 i was 19.5 years old. I got it but wasnt satisfied so dropped a year and got a better rank. I was 20.5 years old when I finally joined IIT. Somewhere subconciously throughout my college life i felt that I did achieve what I wanted to but really late. I know theres nothing I could do about it but this was something still killing me inside. Most of my batchmates where 18 year olds and even the ones who dropped where at most 19. I always wanted to pursue my masters and phd but somewhere at the back of my mind I feel I would have to go theough the same feelings again. It just kills me so much inside. Currently I have completed 2 years as a software engineer and I am 26 years old. On one part my mind tells me that I am made for much more than just an IT job and should go to academia. On the other hand it feels like I am too old for it. I dont know what to do. I am not able to rationalize my thoughts. I am not able to understand how can I bring myself to overcome my fears and achieve what i really want in life.

I've been trying to actively avoid Social media platforms for the past few years but spending time here feels much more productive and useful compared to most others (bakchodi and comedy is bonus ofc). Anyone else in the same boat? 😂

One of my female friend recently got in touch with a young guy. Age difference is about 10-15 yrs. Both are currently single boy being about around ~25. Both re enjoying each other's company and conversations. While the girl has a troubled past (divorced) the boy is actively looking for marriage prospects. GV community - what are your tips for the female friend and things she should keep in consideration. Would be keen to hear the guys' perspective as well especially how you deal with relationship vs friendship with older women

Age is a very controversial topic (which I find surprising, though I kinda understand why). Many people crib about growing up, and often remain too deep in the nostalgia of their youth - forever wishing to go back. Personally, I like growing older. I can see myself having improved significantly from how naïve I used to be. I’m not looking forward to creaky bones, degrading brain capacity and the eventual downfall of human civilisation (just speculating). But I feel that aging - and eventually dying - is what gives any sense of progression and conclusion to life. Would appreciate perspectives from others on Grapevine. What do you guys think? :) (Also, sorry if I ruined your day by randomly reminding you that you’re ageing. 🥲)

guess I'm becoming a senior
