Sharing salary with your colleagues or school friends

Tech lead

Since last 9 months, can’t get it out of my head, like wth, I know it’s generational wealth, so nothing surprising about it.

But every now and then I will slip this news into any random conversation. 🙂

And now it’s time to slip this into GV.

I am obsessed with this news article 😂😂😂

I have a long ass layover at this really boring airport and its driving me crazy. 

I'll go first: 
I have never been to a police station 


C'mmon folks, we are anonyumous anyway !

Anyone up for Never Have I Ever?

Welcome to Movies & Music's Private Community

It can be the lyrics, it can be the music video or music.

I'll go first -

1. KSHMR & Lost Stories - Bombay Dreams
It is beautifully crafted video dealing with shame in pursuing something others despise or make fun of. The music video makes me smile at around the end

2. Passenger - Let her Go
The lyrics are so damn pure gold. It's so common sense but truly hits you especially when you are by yourself and it just sinks in! Love every line of the song and I think the lyrics are relatable for lot of people

3. Ritviz - Sage
Beautiful video, talks about acceptability and how people are threatened by something they don't understand and how world could use more love and it would be such an amazing place!

What are the songs that makes you emotional?

Why do relatives feel that they should always talk about doing things the right way and how do they know what they say is the right way?

Some examples -
- to lose weight, focus on walking and fully come to normal BMI and then only do weight training. But, research suggests weight training to be more beneficial for both weight loss and increasing metabolism
- we should drink hot water to lose weight. What?😂
- get married early and marriage is the only way to go!
- our screen time shouldn't be more with mobile, but rather with tv
- don't use earphones, they damage ears
- Some fruits are beneficial for diabetes

Don't get me wrong, I love relatives. I just don't enjoy someone giving advice when I didn't ask them. Especially when I can't trust their source of information for anything - life advices, religion, shastra,  traditions, women's rights etc.

And, I am really tired fighting battle and tackling so much misinformation about everything. All I do is just listen to them and move on!

Wanted to know what do you guys do?

How do you deal with unsolicited advice of relatives?

Nowadays it is very difficult to find people with a good heart, emotions, real love and respect. The world has changed a lot, people have no mercy, no love, no care and no attachment. All have become selfish, flirt, sometimes inhumanity... jealous..ego.. revenge. People have a sft mentality though they live in big cities. Where all the humanities gone????

Why it is very difficult to find good heart people?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Really surprised to see the level of name-calling, personal attacks and poor use of language happening on a public forum for professionals.

I don't know how we came to this point as a country where you can't even have a civil discussion about topics without someone starting to abuse people for no good reason. It's the same thing playing out on other social media platforms as well.

Most of this vitriol seems to be coming from a particular section of people, and it's obvious to everyone. What I don't get is why they indulge in such behaviour when they could be speaking to their potential partners, employers, colleagues and maybe even future co-founders.

Do they not realise this, or do they not care? Why has mature conversation and civil discourse died such a horrible death in India? Who is responsible? Can this be fixed?

Do people here not realise their current/future employers might be on GV too?

I saw a friend tweet about how Bangalore is full of connected but lonely people jumping in to join every Meetup/WhatsApp group that becomes available. This is my problem with the meetup / conference culture. Meetup culture is all about optionality. You think you'll meet someone new who's cool. Someone who can help you build your network. 

You would rather join a meetup with 100 other strangers than build stronger connections with your friends. In life there are only a few people who really matter. 

People who you can call at 11 PM to rant about your workday. People who you know will be genuinely happy about your promotion. People you share screenshots from work with. It is not probably the 100 strangers in that Whatsapp group that you think of when you are having a health issue and want to share your fears. It also means lowering your ego, which I'm happy to do with my old friends. I'm always happy to ping them when I get the chance, and I'm the one asking them to call me. 

I'm the one who asks them to hang out with me. I used to think, "Why bother?" but then I realised that it doesn't matter who reaches out first. It is not about keeping a count. 

I realised it's for me! If I have a chat with a friend of mine who I have known for over 10 years, my mood improves immediately. Everyone is very busy. Everyone is stressed with their jobs and their personal lives. Some of them are married now. Some have children. But that's where you've got to work to keep connecting with the people who matter to you. Friendship is also about being vulnerable. True friendship is built on vulnerability. 

Being able to share your dreams, your failures and your demons with each other. While the meetup culture is all about bumping into people for 5 minutes to judge their worth and whether they are worth your time, my preference is for long 1-1s. Either on the phone or face to face. I am happy to meet just one person over the weekend and have hours of conversation about work, life or wha
