Omg guys, someone recently tried to scam me with UPI. I was at my parents'. My dad and I had just discussed about maturing investments and what to do next with it. He had just left the house. I get a call from some guy who said he got my number from my dad. .

Why are tech founders like "it's easy to criticize, why don't you come and help fix"?. Why should random people help you fix problems you created? You fix na.

If bras cost so much and we have more expenses of sanitary pads or tampons AND birth control is expensive too, then shouldn't women be paid more for the same job as men?.

Hindu festivals are absolutely the worst right now.
𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗿𝗶 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗶 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼. I have no problem with people celebrating festivals without troubling anyone. However, I want you to think how the media & authorities would've reacted had this been Muslims. Happy Dasara & Navratri to all my friends. Stay blessed❤️

In hindsight:.I didn't suspect anything in the beginning because of the timing of the call. I didn't get time to critically think because the guy did tell me his name and was ending every sentence with beta. He had also literally rushed me throughout the call.

Heard from someone about this person who left Canada & came back to India because the work culture there is "weird and toxic". When asked what exactly was toxic. They said people don't respond to work calls beyond working hours & sick days. Indians are just the fucking worst.

I then tell him that I have a message on Gpay and not money. He asks me if I want to see a screenshot from him. I tell him why don't we wait till my dad's back and I will call him from his number to sort this. He's gone.

I see 50k and my alarm bells have gone off. I know what's coming. I get back to him and he is like "arre beta, I sent 50k instead of 5k. No worries. Can you send 45k back to me?". Now I have caught on to him. I tell him I only have text, no money on Gpay.

. because my dad said he is not on Gpay and I am (which is true). Side note: I assumed that he took my dad's name but now I am unsure. He said he had to send my dad some LIC money and that he asked him to transfer it to me instead. I didn't suspect anything till now.

Only a man has the luxury to "lose himself" in work because he doesn't have to do unpaid labor like housework, cooking, taking care of children or elders, or both. This is pathetic, tone-deaf and infuriating. I hate how Indian startup men are absolutely removed from reality.

You know how only rich people have the audacity to say that money doesn't matter? Similarly, good looking, thin women will say that it doesn't matter how you look. Please get bigger and see how you get invisible to men. Let's not forget how this makes networking harder.

Met 15 years ago on Orkut. We started with “friendship” and now here we are kissing in a public place because of the Western influence.

An Indian stand up guy made me the butt of his joke in front of his audience because I had chosen to not work or do anything for a year. This was Bangalore. That guy made a whole room of people laugh at me being a "modern Indian woman". Cis men comedians are trash.

He said he called to confirm this is my number on Gpay. I said it is. He said he has to transfer 25k and that he will like to do it while we are on the call so I can confirm to him that I got it. Seemed legit enough so I said sure.

Right then I hear a notification on my phone. Him (in hindi): "did you get it, beta?". I ask him to hold so I can check but I can hear him rushing me as I move the phone away from my ear. It's an SMS. Looks like this.

In my rush to get back to him (he's still talking), I say yes I got it. He says: "Good. Now I will transfer 5k.". I hear a woosh on her phone and he asks me to check if I got it again. He is still rushing me while I move the phone away from my ear. I have this second SMS.

It’s rare for people to see an assertive woman at work even in 2023?. I recently got this feedback “you are very competent but are unable to handle your emotions in meetings” . All I did was call out some men in some meetings for either being insulting or not letting women talk.

It's amusing to watch men's reaction to my post about that guy emailing + LinkedIn messaging me. Most of their first reactions are about how I look. They say I am ugly. The implication is that unless I am good looking I am somehow not allowed to call out unsolicited msgs.

Men, do you have close female friends you haven't dated before, haven't had a crush on at some point in time previously and they aren't/haven't been your mentor/senior at work?. Not friends or acquaintances. Close friends.

In my early, and even late, 20s, I always fell for men who were talented and great at their work. Soon enough, I realized that talent is no mark of a good guy. We need to stop revering successful, talented men who seem irreverent but are actually assholes.

@rajneilkamath This view doesn't consider the power dynamic between employee and company. It is not on an employee on notice period to continue to stay diligent. The onus is on the company to make this notice period a meaningful exit for the employee.

Also even the privileged ones who don't have to do anything around the house or towards family, don't *have* to work long hours. Even if you "love" your work, your body clocks this as stress. You will burn out if you work long hours. If not, your body will pay somehow.

@beastoftraal @CruciFire When you phrase it as "I hope women don't wait. ", it sounds like women are responsible for their own freedom. It is taking away from how societal pressures keep the women dependent on men.

We keep my stock of toast and khari on the very top cabinet and I am too short to reach. So, usually he only gets it. Today he left for a week to another city. I just opened a bottom cabinet to find a new pack of toast and khari that will last me till he is back. 😭😭😭😭😭😭.
