If budget is limited and jobs are limited shouldn't Highly Paid MBA grads with no coding should be made redundant fast in tech companies . They are just fast bloating layer while actual Engineering and coding is done by Tech folks .

Even Elon Musk and Nikhil Kamath are against high paying MBA grads in domains which are predominantly Tech business . Lay product managers first before actual Developers . They get spared due to constant Chaatu attitude with Higher management. Just fluff degree of MBAs with higher fees .

A view on the Islamic community, where it is heading, and what it could lead to in the future if current trends continue along the same trajectory.

The current state of the Islamic community, as I see it, is characterised by high population density and predominantly moderate to low affluence. If these socioeconomic conditions persist alongside the community's adherence to certain traditional values and practices, the consequences could be more detrimental than one might initially anticipate.

First of all, a substantial proportion of the community's potential remains underutilised because of the restrictions imposed on women. Whether in education, sports, employment, or other spheres of public life, women's participation is often limited or actively discouraged. Certain practices have significantly curtailed their rights and opportunities, preventing them from contributing to society to their full potential.

Then there is the other half: the men, whose participation in education, competitive examinations, professional employment, and white-collar occupations may also be limited in certain sections of the community. One possible explanation lies in the emphasis placed on traditional gender roles, where the primary expectation from men is to provide for the household's basic needs. In such an environment, aspirations beyond subsistence may receive less attention, and the pursuit of capitalism, professional advancement, and wealth creation may not be sufficiently encouraged.

Whether it is expensive clothing, luxury cars, premium accommodation, or other markers of economic advancement, the motivation to pursue these aspirations can be shaped by the surrounding social environment. Even marriage may not function as a strong economic incentive in the same way it does in some other social settings. In communities where marriages frequently take place within extended family networks, individuals may already be familiar with one another's financial circumstances from childhood. Consequently, economic disadvantage may carry less social stigma, reducing the pressure to improve one's financial standing through professional or economic advancement.

Overall, certain practices may reinforce these socioeconomic limitations. The situation becomes more concerning when large families are encouraged as a marker of religious or familial success, potentially resulting in higher fertility rates without a corresponding increase in educational attainment, employment opportunities, or household income.

Taken together, these factors could adversely affect the community's socioeconomic development. If left unaddressed, the consequences may extend beyond individual households to neighbourhoods and, eventually, entire regions, particularly where population growth outpaces improvements in education, employment, and economic productivity.

When you're carrying a backpack and a carry-on, the backpack needs to go under your seat first. After the flight has taken off, if extra space is left overhead you're free/encouraged to keep your bags overhead.

Just because you got in the airline first, does not mean you can take as much space as possible and people at the end can't even find place to keep carry-ons overhead or they have to keep it 10 seats back.

You do not look smart when you act entitled on an international flight. People do judge you if you are not respecting space of others!

I have observed it many times... Writing about it the first time after seeing it on a flight to BLR from Frankfurt

I’m a 30-year-old Indian man living with roommates who are around 25. They compare me to Gaitonde from Drishyam because I have darker brown skin than they do.

It hurts. It makes me feel like people can say whatever they want about my appearance without considering how I might feel.

I already overthink before speaking to people, and comments like these make me even more self-conscious. I find myself worrying about how people will judge me instead of feeling comfortable having a conversation.

I’m frustrated by how normalised colourism is among Indians. Why is having darker skin something to mock? Being made to feel inferior because of your skin colour is painful, especially when it comes from people you live with.

Hi All.I am writing this mail seeking genuine advice on the below issue.

I am based in Dubai with my family.When my daughter came to Kerala for her graduation she had taken a VI prepaid connection.Later she went to Bangalore for her Post Graduation.Since she faced network issues there she ported her sim to Jio.After her studies she came back to Dubai.Since the mobile number is linked to her Aadhar card and bank account we were paying monthly from there online to retain the number.

Now i came to Kerala for a short visit and find out that the payments i was doing in jio platform was not getting credited and since there was no usage for over 6 months Jio returned back the number to the parent network VI.Today i went to VI store in Pattom, Trivandrum to pay for a yearly package and retain the number.But i was told by the store manager that VI put the number in Postpaid category and to get back the number i not only have to join the postpaid plan but also create a family plan.No one in my immediate family has a VI connection.Store manager casually told to ask someone in my family to port to VI to start family plan and it would cost only INR.850 something per month and i can revert back to prepaid after 4-5 months.Why should somebody be forced to join VI family just to retain the number.

I was particular to have the number retained because its linked to Aadhar and bank account.

I would like to know if this is an ethical practise followed by VI, has anyone faced a similar situation, is the store manager forcing me to take a family plan and giving me inaccurate information.Can i address it with a competent authority.Is there a solution to this issue.

Any valuable advice to reailve this issue is highly appreciated.Thank you.

hello, i am a muslim bangladeshi who is genuinely just sick of everything that has been going around..
My mother believes we are under some black magic spell i’ll tell you why
my dadi and paternal side of the family was always into black magic and stuff like this and my mum would find tabij(amulet) all around the house and a turned on ceiling fan literally fell on my mother TWICE but thankfully she wasn’t injured seriously, later we found out my father cheated on my mother and got married to another woman, later my dad was given the choice of either choosing my mum or that woman and dad chose my mother, but guess what? my dad never left that woman he faked the divorce lol. my mother was heartbroken but after a few years i couldn’t recognise my own mother anymore, she is so weak and she barely cares about the fact my dad has another wife it’s like something else is controlling her right now.
anyways my mum went to a hujur and he said someone has done some dangerous black magic on our family and that if anyone tries to help us that person will die… later my mother went to a hindu baba and he said the EXACT same thing that anyone who tries to help us with this black magic they will die.. the baba did agree to help us but after a few days he literally passed away… my mother is now so helpless and our relationship with our dad is getting worse. my dad is getting so distant day by day i’m so worried.
reason for me to write this here is bcs i know india is a place where black magic is somewhat common and ive heard so many stories of people recovering from insane situations so i beg anyone who can help me with literally anything bcs i’m on the verge of losing my mind i just want my family back

In the two years I've been at my college, this has happened three times.

People come into classrooms asking students for donations. They show some kind of certificate claiming they have permission or approval to collect money. All the people I've encountered have claimed to be unable to speak and have presented tragic past to explain why they need donations.

They ask one of our classmates to read aloud a prepared script about their tragic past, and they also write things on the blackboard that can make people emotional.

This creates a kind of social pressure. When the entire class is listening to an emotional story and other students are donating, not donating can make someone feel that their classmates might subconsciously judge them as insensitive.

The interaction is usually brief, and I haven't been able to properly read the certificate or verify which organisation these people represent.

I'm not claiming these people are scammers. I genuinely don't know. I want to understand whether this is legitimate or not.

For anyone who hasn't seen the video yet, this actually happened at Bharat Mandapam. They created a generative Al "holobot" of Swami Chinmayananda (who passed away 33 years ago in 1993 btw) to have a staged, live interaction with Modi on stage.

But if you actually watch the exchange, it feels incredibly dystopian. Instead of using technology to accurately preserve the Swami's teachings or philosophical ideas, the Al was specifically programmed to shower Modi with political praise, congratulate him on his leadership, and hand out convenient blessings.

It completely distorts the sanctity of a deceased spiritual leader just to use them as a high-tech prop for a political PR stunt.

Since when is it acceptable to program the dead to read off a script that elevates a living politician?

How are people around him-and the event organizers-totally okay with reducing Indian spiritual culture to an Al-generated praise machine?
