Dating has become the norm for relationships today, but many don't realize that it's a relatively recent development, prevalent in Western society for only about a century, and it's already causing societal issues.

Previously, Indian arranged marriages were standard (different from forced marriages). Families would arrange meetings between their daughters and another family's sons. If they liked each other, they would soon plan the wedding, marry, have sex, and start families.

Today, individuals are left to find their own partners. If you don't find someone in high school, university, or work, your chances of finding a partner diminish. There's also less incentive for marriage, as sex no longer requires marriage or even dating, leading to more people pursuing sex directly. This has created a skewed dynamic where fewer men pursue women due to competition, turning to porn instead, while women face exploitation by men who have abundant choices.

Ultimately, near 28-30 both genders rush to the arranged marriage system to get them a partner while having their feet dipped on dating apps.

In the US,
This has lead to decreased marriage rates and, consequently, lower birth rates since most births occur within marriages. A decline in families results in a decreased population, putting more pressure on younger generations to support an aging population. Western nations, therefore, rely heavily on immigration, causing additional challenges. Increased single motherhood also correlates with higher crime rates, drug use, loneliness, mental health issues, and suicides

P.S. I'm young and dating too. Just thoughts for a conversation on what the implications of dating for us as a society could be.

Dating has failed Americans, now it will fail Indians too

Your description of arranged marriages is incorrect. You are given the option that if they liked each other get got married - which was not the case in the last generation. Often times the meetings was just formality, and my own mother met father on the day of their engagement. So nope, they didn’t have the choice to see if they liked each other, their parents made that decision for them. 
  
 Now take that into today’s scenario, how many people in this generation will willingly marry someone their parents has chosen, without any say in it? None. Doesn’t matter what their income is. You yourself are dating.. why? You can ask your parents to find someone for you, if you believe their judgment. The issue is that we don’t, and people avoid admitting that cos they don’t wanna be seen as someone who disagrees with their parents. 
  
 People are free to do what they like, arrange, love, dating, single, unmarried, adoption with marriage. Literally their choice. Nothing is ruining anything, in fact the recent situation in our country, where there are no laws upheld for rich, unemployed where 40% IITians aren’t placed, religious division - are more of a concern than a person’s personal choice. My 2 cents 🙌🏻

Researchers followed the signal from the wastewater treatment plant through the sewage system, checking various manholes along the way. After sampling about 50 manholes, they pinpointed the source to a single building housing a company with about 30 employees. 

I did some more research and apparently for signal tracing and hypothesis testing a ton of data sampling techniques were utilized here. Especially, sub ground sampling techniques and kriging to interpolate the directions to investigate more samples. This is because genetic sequencing is a very costly process. This is how they were able to do only 50 samples between the wastewater plant and the building where Patient Zero was working.

Ignoring foreign countries - I am sad when I saw people in India adoption non veg habits- 

I didn't understand when people are eating so they don't even realise pain, emotions, soul, that animal also a mother or father of small babies who wanted to live in fresh air and enjoy with their parents.

When I saw Animal i feels proud because we are so strong we are so configured and gifted beautiful hand eyes and legs gifted by our god and mother so it's our duty to help and support speechless animals who can not enjoy life like ours, Now humans thinks we are so smart and can kill any animal and enjoy the taste.

Animal waste thrown directly to river and harm for everyone - species living in water and same water we are drinking, In cities every dustbin is full of death bodies of innocent animals eaten by Humans.

In today's era where we are talking about space, chat gpt,12 Lane highways Development, Artificial intelligence 

So why not we can create artificial alternative food of non veg and essences and stop pouring blood of innocent animals in Sewage System.

And we can concentrate planting trees for better tomorrow for our child instead, Appreciate green farming instead of poulatary farming.

Be Human, Be Humble, Be Creator over Destroyer- Take Care.

Rising non veg culture in india

UX/UI Designer

A faded memory dawned on me early this morning while commuting to work, as I saw few kids leaving for school. 

A few years back, I was teaching underprivileged children in a distant government school as a part of a social initiative.

We asked kids, What do you want to become when you grow up?”

I really felt humbled and privileged when the kids responded with Policeman, Driver, Mechanic, Patwari(govt official who keeps record of lands) etc. 

We even remarked that whether they would prefer to be a pilot. And they responded with No. Perhaps, it was representative of things that they knew could achieve and things they could not.

It may even have been that their initial choices were likely due to positions of power that they had witnessed and wanted to emulate. Probably, they were not exposed to various options that exist out there.

As my cab whirred away, I was left with a deep sense of gratitude upon recollection of those memories. 

I really hope those kids achieve whatever they set their sights at.

[Thread] Have you ever been humbled despite your privilege?

I grew up in a small village in Bihar, where dreams were often simple and humble. There was only a small government school, but I never went. Instead, I worked in a vegetable shop and my uncle's store, dreaming of having my own shop one day. 
  
 Then I found work in a cyber cafe, and the internet opened up a new world to me. I discovered a university in Delhi NCR and earned a scholarship there. I graduated with honors and now work at a fintech as an APM. 
  
 I know I wasn't supposed to be here, but I am. People believed in me, and I made it. Next time you find yourself among those kids, tell them about the skies and how it feels to soar.  Who knows? Maybe one day they'll take to the skies, not just as pilots but as legends, their wings crafted by the belief that they can be more than what the world expects them to be.

There is a reason why u r asked to get out of city. And locals don't usually say that to Telugus or Tamils or Marathis. It's predominantly aimed at a section from somewhere and a major reason is people from that somewhere are generally crap(sorry for stereotyping).

1. Be grateful for the local land, culture and set up. 
Problems exist everywhere, solve it if you can, remember that you were not born in a palace.

2. Learn the local culture, actualize it, propagate it. Massive influx of immigrants wipes out the existing culture. Onus is on you to not only protect it but spread it as well. If you don't then yes, u should get the fck out.

3. India is a mix of cultures. Just how Hindi is important a language so is kannada. Telugu or Tamil or everyone. Did you even know Kannada has won 8 Jnanapith awards(highest literary honour) vs Hindi's 11 despite the miniscule population of kannada infront of Hindi?
Do you even know how rich kannada literature is? Do you really believe it deserves death in its own crown jewel(Bangalore?). Who do you think you are if you think this city should speak the language of people u come from but don't put an effort to speak the city's language.

Live and let live. Yes that's a 2 way street. Onus has always been on you. After more thab decade of handing you guys an olive branch, now the city has realised our open gesture is taken for granted. Well, make no mistake we will teach you the right way. Onus is still on you!

I was suffering from 2-3 mild health issues in metro. (prolonged cold n cough, regular sneezing etc)

Came home 🏡 in diwali and now extended wfh due to health gain. Living with parents and consuming clean air + food is helping improve my sleep quality as well ❤️‍🩹 (2h+ deep sleep) 8h continuous sleep.

I did cost benifit analysis and have decided to work on a plan which will eventually help me settle down at my birthplace within 2-5y. 

synopsis --

Children's play under sun 🌞 and have group of 10 kids. They ain't worried about anything. Their happiness index > ceos.  
  
They don't know about masturbation till 10th or age 14 if they don't have a smartphone.   
  
My workplace is open and aqi is below 10. Strong peepal and banyan trees 🌴 even 100y old. When I feel stressed due to any reason I just go to see sunset near my place hardly 2km away. It's a stress buster with earbuds in and watching migrant birds crossing river.  
  
Ain't those birds more free and independent than us? Like they don't give a damn 🕊️ about future and enjoy the present.  
  
Very less car and almost 0 traffic ⛔. People still use bicycles and cycle repair shop>garages.   
  
Life is slow and peaceful. People go to sleep at 9-10pm and wake up at 5-6am.  
  
Life is too easy. Cost of a family with 2acre land is hardly 25k/m here.  
  
Sometimes I wonder why chase 2 lac/month sacrificing so much in a so called developed city.  
  
Society is ambivert. Pizza 🍕 🍔 burger biryani is trying to enter these areas.  
  
But I don't miss swiggy.  
  
Zeptonis redundant here.  
  
My 💳 credit card is lying there thinking why am not swiping it...  
  
  
  
यहाँ कोई मित्र नहीं है, कोई आश्वस्त चरित्न नहीं है,  
सब अर्धनिर्मित है।  
अर्धनिर्मित इमारतें हैं, अर्धनिर्मित बच्चों कि शरारतें हैं,  
अर्धनिर्मित ज़िन्दगी कि शर्ते हैं,  
अर्धनिर्मित जीवन पाने के लिए लोग रोज़ यहाँ मरते हैं।

Toughest part is to find better half with same mindset. 
  
 I travel frequently and have covered whole india except 3-4 places like Andaman, lakshadweep and NE. 
  
 What I have noticed is gen z is very high on drugs and manyatimes they have 4-5 digit savings even after working for 4-5y. I am not generalising or against it, they can live their life the way they want but it's the harsh reality. 
  
 Can anyone live without malls, clubs, multiplex and junk food nowadays? 
  
 Anyone on same boat or think like this or have any other perspective? 
  
 Am all ears ...

Don't take this post negatively but think hard and put your views. We all agree that India is doing great at this point of time but no one , literally no one is talking about the danger future we have in front of us in coming years.
Below points need immediate attention and action 

1) Huge water crises in all the major cities and it will only get worse each year.
2) Corruption still relevant in almost all government works from land registration to traffic fines to railway ticket fines, you name it. 
3) We really need one child policy for some years now otherwise we can't imagine how dark the future is in all terms, from food to employment to natural resources.
4) Almost every food product from oil, ghee, butter is contaminated and the quality is just getting worse, to meet demand and to increase profits. Also corruption here.
5) The weather is just getting worse because of all the concrete jungles we have created and this will also get worse , thanks to our never ending population explosion.


Barack Obama rightly said recently that we should focus on improving the health of earth rather than finding life on Mars.
Earth will still have oxygen even after nuclear energy wars.

Sometimes I really think that we need real Thanos , who is the only one who can help solve these problems.

Guess the country?

Is it the same country which tops Population too? 🫠

- Archaeologists studied the Dolmen of Menga, revealing Neolithic builders' grasp of physics, geometry, and geology.
- Using laser scans and old excavation diagrams, researchers pieced together the construction process of the 6,000-year-old stone chamber.
- The dolmen's builders transported 32 giant stone blocks from a quarry 1 km away, forming a massive chamber with precise engineering.
- The study shows the builders used counterweights and ramps to fit stones with millimetre precision, ensuring the monument's stability.
- Despite being in an earthquake-prone area, the dolmen remains intact, showcasing the builders' advanced understanding of science.

Corporate Slave cluesless on how to have fun on Labour's Day Holiday

I was at a fairly high end tailor today, and the sheer beauty in the art of crafting a perfect fitting suit is unparalleled.

When I see a true master make the right knots and use chalk to measure on fabric, the beauty of peak human skill emanates from each motion.

It made me realise that we might be doing something extremely interesting in our day jobs but it is extremely hard to showcase true human mastery in it.

Suddenly, it dawns on you that although white collar jobs are paid well commensurate to the value they create, we seldom obtain skills that exhibit a similar level of craftsmanship.

There is indeed true beauty in the creation of the perfect suit. 

Somehow, it is a reminder for us all that builders are the ultimate value creators. Enablers ensure value enrichment but you can’t enrich something until the genesis of value.

And it is the death of human ingenuity if we become glorified file movers.

Why are some examples of human craft that makes you awestruck? What are your thoughts on this post? 

Would love to hear you all out.

[Thread] What are some examples of human craftsmanship that you appreciate?

So, someone was asking this question to me on GV 2d back like eatclub is spending so much on promotions. Will they be able to sustain?

Ans In foodtech if LTV > GMV-CAC then it's fine.
People order 2k-3k worth food, so 5oo is a small cac.

Moving forward, what do u think about foodtech space in India, Tam is huge but so many firms already there and food n relationship are two stuff ki if it's bad u will not go back to the situation again.

India has a lot of food tech unicorn 🦄.

1. Swiggy
2. Zomato
3. Rebel foods
4. Biryani by kilo
5. Eatsure
6. Box8
7. Eatclub
 And few more soonicorns.

Do you think Dil foods kinda firm which run on cloud kitchen based strategy can work in long run? Btw I use swiggy and eatclub a lot and both are wonderful products!

Just flabbergasted to realise (again) that all atoms and elements in my body originated 13.8B years ago in big bang.

Anyone has such mindf..k facts to share?

Life beyond by melodysheep (YouTube channel)

I came across a reel on Youtube and then cross checked it. Some facts are just mind blowing.There is a temple in Maharashtra known as 'Kailasa Temple'.

1. It was carved out from the top. Just imagine a 3 floor building with elaborate carvings carved out of rock from the top with over 100's of stone images, pillars and other craft.

2. They removed over 2M tons of rock in the process.

3. It took them more than 135 years to finish this job. Just imagine 4,5 generations sticking to the same plan with no blueprint without any technology and with just hammer and chisel, not from the front or bottom but from the top.

It is the most incredible piece of engineering that human beings have done on this Planet.

India is truly a land of wonder but we are the worst marketers.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

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 🤔💭

What are your thoughts about being DINKS?

We are a DINK couple (live-in, will get married soon) and absolutely no plans to have kids. Maybe be a DINKWAD someday by adopting an indie. Also no plans to buy a home or spend on our marriage. This is not a financial decision (both of us are doing decently well in our careers) but we don't want to have a child knowing how nothing around is improving and we don't want to sacrifice the best years of our lives by doing this. We are building a large corpus to be financially independent and travel without any financial restrictions.

I'm definitely not engaging with any answers that don't have a "Why".
Regardless, my answer would be...

Napoleon, The French Emperor and Military Commander

"The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemy's."

I've been watching a few documentaries on his military tactics. His innovative tactics and organisational reforms revolutionised warfare, setting the standard for modern military operations. His military campaigns, known as the Napoleonic Wars, reshaped the map of Europe and influenced military thought for generations.

Personally, the battle at Austerlitz remains to be the best showcasing Napoleon's tactical brilliance and audacious maneuvering. In the midst of a freezing December day, his Army faced the combined forces of the Russian and Austrian empires atop the icy Lake Satschan. With the enemy mistakenly believing his right flank was weak, Napoleon executed a deception, withdrawing his troops to lure the Allies onto the fragile ice. As the ice cracked and creaked beneath their weight, the French unleashed their firepower, shattering the frozen surface and sending thousands of enemy soldiers plunging into the icy waters, resulting in multiple casualties and ultimately victory.

Napoleon's rise from humble beginnings to becoming Emperor and his eventual downfall at the Battle of Waterloo is a legendary story of ambition and power.
