I always dream or look forward to having a nice house. Not an apartment, but a proper house, which has a big garden, verandah, where there's enough sunlight :) 
 But I need money to fulfill this dream 🥹 Which I don't have 🥹🥺

As mid 20s adults with a stable job, basic pleasures like a playstation or OTTs by your side, what do you look forward to in life ????

Growth Manager

Could be anything. Your work, your workouts, friday night with the boys etc. 
If you've not taken notice of what you like doing, this might be a good way to, and also to hear from positive things that people are doing. 

For me, it's usually the weekly outing with work friends/other friends or just watching an amazing piece of content on the weekends. That's usually the peak. Excited to hear from all of you!

What do you look forward to every week? What makes you feel alive and happy?

Hey Grapeviners,

Hope you are enjoying your "Ravivar".

Was sitting and introspecting a lot of things.
One thing I came across that I am becoming more and more pessimistic in regards with career , food habits , society, and many more.

With so much uncertainty in jobs , recession , scams in exams not so much optimistic about exams.

So many food pundits giving their gyaan ke yeh mat khao , vo mat khao nahin to aisa ho jayega. Yeh khaane se heart attack rates badh rahe...

Society is just totally selfish. Still contemplating what happened in UP 😂😂.

What should I do to become optimistic. I can also not ignore these things as jo bhi hain I find some sort of truth in it..

Mobile dekhna band bhi nahin kar sakta as it will transport me to cave ages.

What do you guyz do to keep yourself "hopeful" and can say "the things which you look forward in future".

What's your "waited my whole life for this" moment?

Senior Software Engineer

If you ask me, the purpose of life has to be more than climbing a self-constructed ladder. 

Like, it has to be more than a 3BHK in a metro, with two kids, a car and a prestigious job at a faceless corporation, 2 weeks of vacation and a movie on the weekend.

Isn’t this weird that, we all continue to fool ourselves? 

When you know nothing matters the universe is yours, and I've never met a universe that was into it. The universe is an animal, it grazes on the ordinary. It creates infinite idiots just to eat them. 

You know? Smart people get a chance to climb on top and take reality for a ride but it'll never stop trying to throw you. And eventually it will, there's no other way off

[Thread] What is according to you makes life worth living?

Remember when you were a kid and had a school trip the next day?    
    
 You sleep all excited, over preparing your bag, snacks, your pocket money and sleep fantasizing the day forward.   
    
 You wake up on the morning. You are excited as hell. Although it's no different than any other day but everything feels colorful. You can't wait to hop into your school bus and meet your friends who are just as excited as you.   
    
 I think what makes life is worth living are these experiences. When you sleep, you have something to look forward to. Someone to do, something to achieve, something you truly enjoy or be passionate about.   
    
 If you are just going through days fixated on the coming weekend or planned holiday. That is when things get a little messy.   
    
 I'm in that zone right now. I try to seek the satisfaction and happiness inside of me. So I don't depend on materialistic or emotional to feel lively. It must come from within and its damn hard to cultivate.   
    
 When I'll have that I'll be off from this corporate for good. .

Operations Manager

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So I am working at a startup for around a year now. Everyday I see, it feels, what am I really doing? Where is the life headed? 
    Doing bare minimum or doing your tasks and fucking off isn't enough. It's expected that we outgrow constantly, as if it's this work that we can always think about and nothing else. At the end, am wondering if it's still worth it?
    1 day it feels that let's just quit it! Next day I feel, okay, I do want the money. 

I ain't looking for suggestions here, just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way

Getting increasingly bored of work at startup

Been there, but money is very important especially for a middle class family, for most of us we are earning 5x more than our parents at least and have huge expectations from families to provide them with good life

Happy friday folks!
 
What this is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.  
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.
 
Look forward to hearing from y'all :)

Tell me 5 reasons to be alive now as a mid 20 guy? How do you all keeping up the excitement on all these reasons?

🏃

I mean what are some of hobbies that you are doing

be it health-wise, sports, trips, other activity ?

something that add an extra layer of intrest in your life, that break monotonous working vibe 

reduce pressure of always being productive 

Hoping for good variety of answers 😅
something that I can adopt

What do you do other than work ?

What's one thing that you look upto with curiosity, even now, like you used to do in your childhood.


It could be playing Sunday matches, meeting someone special, going to a special place, it could be anything, where the interest didn't fade away with time and responsibilities.

Senior Product Manager

I'm afraid that time is flying and I will not be able to do things which I thought I will do for my parents. 
What I'm doing- recently moved closer to them and will try to use extended weekends for doing those things (mainly experiences). 
Go ahead and tell us your fear and what are you doing for that

What's your biggest fear in life

As a human, what are you proud of in your life today? Be it anything that you did for yourself, your family, or for anyone else for that matter.

Looking for answers from the more experienced ones more, as how the parameter of pride/joy changes as you face and experience life more :)

What are you proud of?

Do you imagine living in a tier 1 city having luxuries or moving abroad or having a family? What do you aspire to be? 

I aspire to have a 2 BHK with a game studio and a nice minimalist kitchen in a crowded marketplace area.

[Thread] What's something that didn't workout and NOW you are glad it didn't

Looking back I am glad that the plan of stopping with a single child didn’t workout as expected. I didn’t know that it would just double the happiness, both for us and our elder child.
