Go to Rike in Andheri west. It has the best bolly DJ on Fridays and Saturday. The crowd is awesome and it has a rooftop dining space. There are no entry charges. The crowd is at its peak after 11.15PM

Some good clubs to unwind and destress after work could include- Grapevine

I've been sitting at home due to wfh option since 2 years. I'm the only person from the team in Hyderabad location, so I don't have a seat in the office. I'm given the freedom. And unsurprisingly have no social interactions. A couple of friends keep meeting once in a fortnight but that's it. Any places that you would recommend (non-partying spaces) to hangout and meet new people, make meaningful connections?

Best hobby club spaces in the city?

My back has been hurting for the last few days now and I am looking to get it adjusted through a massage.

Can you suggest good spa recommendations?

Especially in a city like Bangalore where you spend 5 days in office 
Clubbing is not an option every weekend, considering how expensive clubs are and how antisocial I am 
What can we do apart from scrolling phone Or binging content indefinitely?
Suggest some options 

I tried those meetups and board games night. 
They are not as exciting after first few rounds

How to have a good weekend

I recently moved to Bangalore and almost immediately went into a zone of persistently feeling sad and hopeless. I refused to take antidepressants. I am doing slightly better after few sessions of therapy, but I want to know some other alternatives? Anybody experienced the same thing? What makes it better? Bangalore feels like a culture-less city tbh.

Depression is common in Bangalore?

It's same for all metro. But I will tell what helped me. 
  
 Don't just work and eat sleep. 
  
 Pursue few hobbies...like i picked swimming, running and gym on weekends. 
  
 Read books... 
  
 Travel to South Indian places and beaches hill stations. 
  
 Read spiritual books or listen to them. 
  
 Eat healthy, watch healthy, think healthy. 
  
 Always take care of parents n siblings health especially.

Clubbing in HYD

Lately, walking in the garden and watching birds chirp in the morning has become an underrated thing that I find deep happiness in. 

Even late night walks are becoming interesting with an ice-cream at hand and the wind blowing in my hair. 

What about you all?

[Thread] What are the little things you find happiness in?

Well, I have been burnt out for a while now. 
The job is not helping either. How do you all cope with a burn out?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been into programming since I was 15.
I have been working in the IT industry for the past 8 years and have been very successful in my domain because of my will to solve problems at work as interesting puzzles.

But this interest has slowly and gradually formed a huge part of my life to a level that if I am away from it for sometime, it gives me anxiety.

I am afraid this will affect my other parts of life like giving attention to my family, spending ample time with them.

As a process, I started to have no code Saturdays so that I am completely away from my laptop and spend time doing other mundane things. But this has not reduced the anxiety.


Any suggestions for reducing my workaholic nature ?

With lots of thing going around, recession, layoffs. How do you make sure that you rejuvenate and start next year fully recharged.

How do you de-stress at this time of the year?

Most of us on Grapevine, working in corporate sector might make decent chunk of money if we keep grinding for a decade or two but very few of us would have the social capital (or as they say “networking” in our corporate jargon).
Increasingly realising that the society respects the business owners or govt officers more than any senior leader in an IT firm. There is no social recognition for corporate folks. It might not be relevant for young folks as they still have some residual social recognition of the family for now, but what would happen after a decade or two. Most of the corporate “friends” are no longer in touch except for very rare ones. How does one build a social circle after 10-20 yrs in corporate? Would like to hear from folks above 40 yrs if they’ve had similar thoughts and how are they managing?
Also, What are some ways one can start building social circle overtime while doing a corporate job?

PS: I am referring social capital as having a certain level of stature in society alongwith deep connections with some people living around you who can help you in need or can expect something from you. This is different from LinkedIn networking where primary expectation is referrals.

Service Class has no social capital

My father is an officer in a PSU. Not sure what "respect" you are talking about because from what I've seen, PSU workers have a social capital only in their colony/settlement. Apart from that it doesn't really matter for outsiders.  
 Business owners are respected only if he/she is really really successful. Otherwise how often we see someone respecting a normal shop owner?? 
  
 To build your own social capital, participate in tech talks/workshops. Spend time mentoring folks. Participate in society functions/apartments as others have mentioned.

What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long day?

I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? I’d love to connect.

WFH = 0 Social Life

I have been working remotely and honestly, I don't want to go to office ever (at least that's what I feel right now) 
  
 I don't want to become besties with my coworkers, and I stay with family so I'm very happy spending all my time with my favourite people in the world! I also have the option of traveling and have decided to take an out of Delhi trip every 2 months at least 
  
 I might be biased, because my parents and immediate family are professionals as well and have home offices, so all my life, I've had the kind of atmosphere where offices don't play a huge role, so I'm happy! 
  
 But yes, I suppose I do get the socialising aspect, it becomes harder to make friends as one grows older, especially when all your school/college friends have office jobs 🙃🙃

Hi all, I have noticed that the experienced senior people around me [ ICs, EMs, etc ] have too much work and they are always in a work mode. 

Seeing them makes me wonder whether I would want to be like them in the future.

All the senior experienced people here, how stressful / hectic / difficult is your work life as you move up the corporate ladder? 

Is it even worth it to chase meaningless numbers, and promotions, and grow up the career ladder?

What is one of basic things you realised too late?

People don't talk to you when you are alone, they only talk to you when they are alone.
