I was just wondering this thing is my mind,

right now my_qualifications is that i am in class 12 currently

I'm an Indian currently visiting Tokyo for a trip and could really use your help!

My best friend back home is a HUGE Dhurandhar fan, and I just found out the movie is releasing in Japan soon. I would absolutely love to grab an official movie poster for him the kind you just can't find back in the US.

Would anyone be willing to help hook me up with one? Happy to bring along some sweet American treats, snacks, or honestly whatever you're craving from the US as a thank you! 🍫🍪

DM me if you can help , would mean the world to my friend. Thanks in advance, you legends! 🤝

Since March 2026, BSNL International Roaming (IR) has stopped working in Japan. My phone has been showing “No Service” all the time here in Nagoya, Japan.

At first, I thought this might be an iPhone compatibility issue (VoLTE / carrier settings / 4G-only issue). However, after hearing from many fellow Redditors facing the exact same problem, it now seems that the issue may actually be related to BSNL’s IR infrastructure in Japan.

From what I understand:

• NTT DOCOMO officially shut down its 3G network on March 2026.
• SoftBank had already shut down its 3G network earlier.
• It appears that BSNL roaming in Japan may still have been relying on legacy 2G/3G systems.

Because of these reasons, BSNL users in Japan may now be unable to connect to Japanese networks at all.

After contacting BSNL more than 20 times, I keep receiving generic replies stating that the “issue has been resolved,” but there has been no actual support or solution.

BTW, is anyone in Japan still able to use BSNL roaming since March 2026?

Thanks!

i am in 12th class currently and is thinking to study abroad in japan for btech can anyone pls guide me that would i need to learn japanese and what all difficulties which you faced in japan when u shifted from india

Aspiring mech engg masters abroad,

First of all, I am a tier 3 college student (2024) passed out, as a mech engg from south india, dreamed of doing my masters in IIT, I prepared for GATE and appeared in my 4th yr, but results didn’t turned up well I dropped another year went for coaching in Hyderabad, but still didn’t able to clear, after a sincere efforts for 9 months, then I turned towards IT (did a software testing course), and got a job for less salary, it is said that within 2 yrs, I can get good salary in IT, but my mind keep on thinking about doing masters abroad (more particularly in japan), but whether this decision to move abroad a wise one with the current market for mech engg, because

1. I don't know the job market in japan

2. It is a complete new place for me (language I am willing to learn)

3. Will I have scope after 10 years (2+8) in india from japan to settle

4. Will my decision be regretful for moving away from my family

All my thought was to make my inner self happy who put his efforts wholeheartedly in GATE prep but still not able to crack the exam, dejected,

Now one door is there, whether to open it is on my hands, whether to open it or not???
