I work with my dad in our small business and honestly things have become very difficult mentally. I respect him because he has done a lot for the family, but I never really had that normal father-son bond with him. For the last 4 years I’ve been working continuously with almost no breaks, no functions, no personal life. I even left my studies in Vadodara in the middle because he wanted me to work with him. Even during my sister’s engagement in our hometown in Madhya Pradesh, I couldn’t attend because I was told to stay back for work.

I always tried to do whatever was expected from me, but sometimes it feels like no matter how much I do, it’s never enough. Today things got really bad in front of other people and it honestly broke me mentally. This kind of situation has happened many times over the last few years and I’ve mostly stayed quiet and handled it internally. The environment at home also feels very stressful most of the time and now I genuinely feel exhausted.

I’m thinking of leaving and starting fresh in Rewa for some peace of mind. If anyone knows about any work opportunities or affordable places to stay initially, please let me know. I just want to rebuild my life peacefully now.

I’m thinking of leaving for Prayagraj and trying to start fresh on my own for some peace of mind. If anyone there knows about any work opportunities or even affordable places to stay initially, please let me know. I just want to rebuild my life peacefully now.

I recently got into a serious situation in Bhind with some local Yadav guys and honestly it shocked me how normal guns and threats seem here. These people barely have money for basic living but somehow have money for weapons and bullets. Things even reached the point where shots were fired at me and after seeing the condition of police and lawyers here, it just feels like common people are on their own. The funny part is I have enough money that I could probably get more advanced weapons than them if I really wanted to, but I genuinely don’t want to enter that line or become part of this violence mentality. Whenever I go back to my hometown they still try to come after me and sometimes I genuinely wonder whether I should reply to them in their own language or just leave the whole thing behind and move on with life. What would you guys do in this situation?

Gujarat probably has more than 1 lakh liquor related cases every year and that’s only the registered ones. The real numbers are obviously much higher because not everything gets reported publicly. At this point alcohol is available almost everywhere through contacts, bootleggers and black market anyway, so what exactly is prohibition achieving now? People are still drinking but instead of regulated alcohol many end up consuming duplicate or chemical liquor and every few years we hear about people dying because of it. If adults are going to drink anyway then wouldn’t legal and regulated alcohol be safer than illegal underground liquor business? Feels like the ban now only benefits black market sellers and corruption more than actual public safety. What do you guys think?

Thinking of visiting Surat for the full Navratri with my female friend this year. Wanted to know how safe the city is at night during Navratri, especially after garba events and late-night food scenes. Is it generally okay to be out till 12–2 AM in crowded areas?

Also looking for:

Best Navratri/garba spots in Surat

Good hotel areas for couples/tourists

Areas to avoid late at night

How locals are towards tourists and male-female friends

Overall vibe during Navratri

Would appreciate honest local advice and recommendations from people who’ve experienced Navratri there recently.

I’m currently based in Gujarat but I have some ongoing legal issues in Bhind. I’ve been working with a lawyer there, but over time it feels like I’m just being overcharged again and again without much real progress. The expenses are getting too high and it’s honestly frustrating.

I’m looking for a reliable and honest lawyer in Bhind who actually focuses on the case instead of dragging things out for money. If anyone has personal experience or can recommend someone trustworthy, it would really help.

My sleep schedule has been messed up for the last 6 years. I usually sleep around 1 or 2 am, sometimes even 5 or 6 am, but I still have to wake up at 7 am for work. The weird part is I still manage to go to work and don’t really feel lazy or tired during the day.

Another strange thing is when I actually try to sleep early, like around 11 or 12 at night, I wake up at 3 or 4 am and then I’m just up for the rest of the night and still go to work.

I don’t understand how this is working. Am I just used to it or is something actually wrong with my sleep cycle

What should I do to fix this or is it fine if I feel okay during the day

I’m planning a wedding around March or April 2027 and looking for a marriage hall with a retro, old-school, classic vibe, not those overly fancy or modern banquet halls.

My budget is around ₹5–7 lakh, but I can stretch another ₹1–2 lakh if the place is really worth it.

I’m open to indoor halls or open party plots, simple traditional setups, and even older palace-style venues if available.

Would love suggestions on good venues around the city, approximate total cost including venue, food and basic decor, and what amenities are usually included like parking, rooms, AC, catering, etc. Also want to know if outside catering is allowed.

Since this is for 2027, when should I ideally book the venue so I don’t miss good options?

If anyone has recent experience or tips, that would really help.

Thanks 🙏

I genuinely don’t get it. The “burger” isn’t even a burger, it’s just a bun with a basic aloo patty, one slice of tomato, and a piece of onion, all deep fried in refined oil. It doesn’t even look appealing, yet people enjoy it.

Then I tried momos. The guy was selling “tandoori momos,” so I ordered some. Instead of using a tandoor, he just deep fried them in oil. When I asked him, he said that’s what they call tandoori momos here.

I understand it’s cheap, and that’s probably why people go for it, but this isn’t really good street food. I’d rather pay a bit more and get something made properly.

And honestly, don’t expect even basic hygiene here.
