They are very meticulous in expression of emotions. Once she mentioned when she was 5 years "I love to sleep with papa  becoz he makes me feel warm" warm meant she felt the father's love as warm.

When the daughter knows better than the mother

Generalist

This might be controversial but i want to know just why so many benefits for women in tech ? , I saw special hackathons only for women and also special trainings from big companies like Amazon only for women and of course diversity hiring.  Is it because men can't work enough and women do more or what ?

Why special place for women in tech ?

That you can do anything you want. Literally anything. Just do it fairly, and with all your heart, while keeping a smile on your face and you’ll be a happy person.

How to trigger everyone 101

Product Owner

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

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Dual Income and No Kids sounds very attractive but advice from people in their late 20s and 30s is probably too biased to be considered sound advice.

Wanted to understand how couples who took that decision in their 30s feel today.

Do you regret it?
Do you feel purposeless?
Do you feel lonely?
Do you feel the FOMO?

And so on.

Any DINK couples in their 40s? How do you really feel?

Growth Manager

Turned 22 today. :) 
Saw a similar post on GV, men (in 20s) asking men (in 30s or so) to help their bros out with advice. 

Doing a female version of this, but keeping it open. Would love to learn from your experiences, mistakes to avoid, career advice, relationships, health, wealth, etc, whatever you've learnt most from.

Does anyone have fights with their father especially boys? How do you deal with it?

Are the conflicts usually due to your own mistakes or carelessness? If so, how can they improve?

Fights with Father

Software Engineer

Was speaking to two of my friends (from GV) on this topic. One was supporting, and one against.

As a fellow female on Grapevine, I think it is not necessary. 
If only we stop treating women as second gender, and just see them as basic humans, a lot of things will change.

To let people have a safe space to voice opinions, does not need a secluded room.

So many of us are unaware of problems (physical, mental, emotional) others face, this platform does a great job in bringing all at one place.

Do we need separate community for women on Grapevine?

Consultant

Me and my wife are 30 years old software engineer with no kids. Draw 7 lac a month please some yearly bonus. We invest 2 lac a month combined into equity market through mutual funds. 

Expenses: 1.5 lac a month including everything, lives in Bangalore in good society, owns a car, don't thing much before spending. 

Still after everything left with 3 lakhs every month in bank account. Not sure how to use that. We both don't have any fancy "shauk" where we can spend and hence don't have an urge to earn more. 

Any suggestions???

Post tax 7 lac a month. Double income no kids, but not sure what do with all the money.

This is a rant post. Here is what is expected from a guy in India

- Study well, go to a great college.
- Get a high paying job.
- Marry at the right time or else all your achievements are a waste.
- Buy depreciating assets like car, houses etc
- Have kids at the right time.
- Give your kids the right upbringing.
- Take care of your parents. 
- Be part of the society 

Whereas, for girls all of the above do apply but are good to have things and not a must have.

If anything is missed from the above list, unfortunately society thinks you have not done the bare minimum.

Now my question is who has all of this sorted considering at whatever point of life they are in.

Why is life so hard for guys?

Today, I had a realization about workplace communication that I wanted to share.

During a meeting, I found myself in a familiar situation - my manager wasn't listening to my input and was criticizing my work unfairly. Frustrated, I raised my voice and responded rudely. At the time, I justified it as the only way to deal with such a difficult person.

Later, my mom overheard and questioned my behavior. When I explained the situation, she said something that really struck me: "It doesn't matter how the other person is behaving or how rudely they speak. You should always remain polite."

Her words made me pause and reflect. I realized that toxic managers can create toxic coworkers if we let their behavior influence us. By mirroring their rudeness, I was perpetuating a cycle of negativity in the workplace.

This experience taught me an important lesson: we shouldn't let difficult people change who we are or how we conduct ourselves. Maintaining our composure and speaking respectfully, even in the face of rudeness, is not just about professionalism - it's about preserving our own integrity and mental peace.

Moving forward, I'm committed to finding more constructive ways to address workplace conflicts, even when faced with challenging personalities. It's not always easy, but it's a step towards creating a more positive work environment for everyone.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Today on Saturday I got a call from office grandma ( 20 years in same company) , she started arguing that I didn't sent her the update and showed me her what's app screenshot. I noticed that there is no net sign on top near battery indicator. 
What the hell, why companies keep such people , they have 0% technology knowledge, can't use decent tools , don't know gmail interface . Why the hell ?

Are boomers really needed if they don't have skills ?

Does this bother you that you will not meet your parents enough?

Let's say your parents are around 55 years old and will live till 80. If we consider you will go to your months 4 times in a year and let's say each time you are going for 10 days, which means 40 days in a year and 1000 days in total. Less than 3 years and. 

I am not even considering that when you visit them, you will still have work as mostly you will take wfh and not leave.

Does this fact bother you that you will not be able to spend much time with them?

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 🤔💭
