Even in Amazon, XXS sizes are too hard to find. Then where? Also if someone can suggest me some brands it would really help.

Hey I'm learning japanese from Duolingo and I'd love to meet someone who speaks japanese as their first language :) I wanna practice speaking/texting in japanese.

Guys I know it's a long post but hope u read it till the end and help me out ❤️ ❤️

I'm in my third year, doing bachelors in chemical engineering from a tier-3 college in India. I cleared the GATE exam with a 14×× rank, so hopefully I'll get into some NITs. I've been really confused on what to do next. My long term goal is to work in the research field. R&D type maybe. Or CSIR funded institutes. Especially interdisciplinary fields aligned with ChemE like biotech/biochem/pharma/wastewater treatment, etc. So these are the options I have:

a) Masters abroad

I saw many redditors heavily discourage masters in India. The only college that they didn't discourage was IISc. But I think that's wayyy out of my league. I could try improving my score to get some tier-2 IITs but still I heard people saying that masters in many IITs isn't research-heavy and won't have much global recognition so it's better to do masters abroad itself.

But if abroad, then where in abroad dp I go? Germany sounded good due to low or no tuition fee but they said that it's more focused traditional chemE than integration with the reasearch areas I previously mentioned. Then? Singapore? Australia? Somewhere else?

b) Masters in India from some NIT/tier-2 IITs, and then PhD abroad

Since I just have one research internship and no paper publications or presentations in any conferences or anything, I feel like universities abroad may not be interested to take me for MS (research).

c) Masters and PhD in India itself

But only recently I read that even in many top IITs the project instructors and all may tend to be toxic and you won't have much guidance and you'll have to do what work they want you to do. Infact I know someone doing PhD in US after MTech in IIT and he told something similar about being a jrf/researcher in India.
