New Indian passport causing Expatrio/PostIdent verification issues in Germany?

One of my friends recently got a newly issued passport and is currently in Germany. During blocked account verification at Deutsche Post, the passport keeps showing reading/scanning issues. Meanwhile, some of our other friends with older passports had no issues at all.

Is this becoming common with newer passports or NFC/chip scanning? Did anyone manage to solve it by changing the post office branch, using IDNow, or contacting Expatrio support?

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences.

Gut health left the chat 💀

but mandhi cravings didn't 🚶🏻

I was scrolling through my gallery and realized 70% of it is just Alfaham and Mandhi from "this month" alone 💀

My gut is probably begging for mercy at this point… but these cravings never end.

Every time I say “this is the last one,” somehow another full mandhi appears in front of me the next day 😭🚶🏻

Why do people hide their posts/comments when they’re already anonymous?

This is something I never understood about Reddit.

Most people here are already anonymous, yet some still hide or delete their posts/comments like they’re protecting a public reputation 🚶🏻

And the funny part is… half the time those posts can still be viewed through other ways anyway.

If you’re anonymous already, why bother hiding it?

Is it embarrassment, profile cleaning, post-regret, or what?

Story of me - Continuation

Alright, sharing two of my most embarrassing life moments so you guys can feel better about yourselves.

  1. The spa incident (Kochi)

Went for a full body massage (strictly SFW, before you all start). They gave me that disposable undergarment and asked me to lie face down. All normal.

After a while, the therapist was massaging my hands and suddenly asked,

“Sir, are you feeling hot?”

I didn’t catch it the first time, so I went “What?”

She asked again, “Are you feeling hot?”

My brain: she’s flirting??

Me (with full confidence): “Yeeeeahhh 😌”

…2 seconds later she goes, “Sorry sir, I meant should I reduce the AC temperature?”

💀💀💀

I just stayed there for the next 1.5 hours… silent… eyes closed… replaying my life decisions.

  1. Valanchery bus stand scene

Early morning, waiting for a bus to Kozhikode. Friend hadn’t arrived yet, so I was just standing there holding a plastic cover with my shorts and t-shirt (for swimming).

Took my phone out to call him and casually tucked the cover under my armpit.

Apparently, I was standing next to a group of North Indian workers.

One ikka comes up to me and goes:

“Kinar kuzhikkal kaam hai… aajao” (well digging work… come)

🥲🥲🥲

I panicked and replied, “Ente ikka njan Malayali aa…”

He goes, “Sorry mone, njan Bengali aanennu vicharichu” and walks off.

I just stood there… questioning my entire appearance🥲

Conclusion:

Life humbles you when you least expect it.

I’ve got this best friend… and honestly, I don’t even know how to explain this properly.

He’s there with me almost all the time. Like, physically present, hanging out, chilling, all of that. And he was there during some of my worst phases too — which is probably why I still hold on to this friendship.

But here’s the thing… he lies. A lot.

Not small harmless exaggerations — I’m talking full-on stories where I can clearly tell only like 40% is real and the rest is just made up. And the worst part? I always know when he’s lying. I just don’t call him out. I stay quiet and let it pass.

Over time, I’ve kind of… accepted that this is who he is.

But deep down, I hate it. I genuinely hate lies.

And another thing that bothers me — I don’t think he’ll actually be there if I really need help. I’m almost sure about that. Meanwhile, I know I’d go all out for him — even for serious stuff like family issues.

So now I’m stuck in this weird place:

I don’t want to cut him off.

I don’t fully trust him either.

But I still keep him close.

I don’t even know why.

Is this normal? Or am I just holding onto something that doesn’t make sense anymore?

"I'm here preparing for the Sep 2026 exams"

Where are you right now? What are you doing at this exact moment?

Could be anything like chilling at home, stuck in traffic, late-night studying, random chai break, gym grind, office boredom… whatever.

Post a live photo in the comments + a short caption of what’s going on.🙂‍↔️

Let’s see
