I was watching Lakshay movie. Hits different when you are in your 20s and just might have missed out from joining the army. Honestly, feels extremely relatable when ya were aimless, had a breakup and found your purpose again.

Also folks can ya all help me a bit. I had applied for TGC Tech entry and I have been shortlisted. I have a SSB interview call in April. I never expected to be shortlisted because last year cutoff in my branch for TGC tech was way more than what I scored in gradution. This year I just scraped through the cutoff by 0.8 margin. Call it luck or whatever, I was extremely surprised to get the call letter. I was highly motivated to give my best for SSB but I realized I have a problem.

Here's the problem. Eyesight standards in TGC tech entry is myopia should be <-3.5D. I have -4.5D in both eyes. I could get a Lasik done but it requires to be done 6 months before SSB interview. 6 months that I don't have because my SSB is in April. This is my last chance because after that I will be ineligible due to age criteria.

So is there a way out of this?

Don't know too much about this technicality but would advise to simple go and attend the SSB.
Prepare well for the screening process. once you are through it then a lot of things can happen - you only know during Conference day.​

Ya'll Nibbiars we will fund the Bengaluru Membarans by selling your I 20 Astra.

@SKC Do you have some exposure to plastic component manufacturing buisness?
Or does anyone else have?
I wanted to know what is the most complex plastic product that we make here.

Short answer...chill @Neil (नील/Нил)
Life has its own pace, everything will fall in place when they're supposed to, the only thing in your hand is working on yourself. Everything else is beyond your control.

1. Getting emotional is what we as a human are biologically supposed to do don't get influenced by all these incels and redpill bullshit. Cry if you feel like, you'll feel good.

2. In short term...don't get stuck in loop of regrets, you'll mess up your present. Rather note down one or two "takeaway" from those regrets so that you don't have the same regret twice. If it was a failed relationship then these could be red flags of both you and your partner and if it was something related to academics then may be some topics that you need to work on.
In long term...find something bigger/better than the regret. We're very simple machines, the day you'll find something better the brain would overshadow the older regrets.

3. You either stop doing things for others or do everything possible without expecting anything from them.
Western philosophy, Indian Shruti...whatever you consult, this is only way to "love", they day you'll start expecting anything in return you'd just start tormenting yourself.

4. • Focus on health, this 20-30 year bracket is the perhaps the best possible window you've to work on it. Nothing hardcore, just diet and some compound exercises.
• Don't miss mental health.
• Give back to your parents in whatever way you can because time runs out pretty quickly and then you realise all the things that you could have done.
• Try not to fall for a girl whom you just like, rather find someone with whom you see both of you helping each other grow.
• Have a hobby that you're insanely passionate about; this is what'll keep you alive. Can be anything from cooking, books, painting, photography to biking to automotive; but you should have atleast one thing for which you're just illogically crazy about...or otherwise you'll turn into a walking corpse.

Baaki chill karo Yaar

Yes, We are running Plastic Molding plant!
DM for any details.

Don't know much about all the different applications but firearms are generally bit complex.

You almost always use glass or carbon fibre reinforced polymer which in itself is bit complicated than simple polymers. You also can't use simple two die moulds as you've a lot a internal features so it's a multi-part mould. You also have metal reinforced injection moulding.

We neither want to dive into Aadhyatm nor want to submit ourselves to science...give us IIT Baba; that's what we want.

What an utter sad state for a country that once used to be the pioneer of both Darshan and science

I hope this is not a hilarious question.

Absolutely not; rather it's a very simple two step solution

Step 1: Stop asking random people on internet for medical advices. No one can understand what's exactly your problem, your skin type, sensitivity, tanning, some kind of side-effects may be...
Step 2: Visit a dermatologist.

As simple as it is.

Do plastic water bottles in India contain BPA, BPS, phthalates, PFAS? The plastic bottles in India felt different to me than the ones in the USA..?

C'mon Bruh, our credibility is already iffy; doing this would mean that we're officially declaring ourselves as nothing more than a bunch of online trolls.

This plain ahh black and white "DFB" is better as it gives a degree of ambiguity.

For some we're just a bunch of keyboard warriors who think they know everything as they can name all the parts of a Tavor and for some we're so irrefutable that it's the last place they come to verify what they saw on Indian Defence Regurgitating Wing was indeed true or not...it's better to leave it like this only. Let people perceive the way they want

I believe Indian Americans start owning and training guns to save themselves and getiing citizenship

Another idea for the patch.

Is gun ownership legal in India? I'm asking because I don't know. I think everybody should own a firearm

Can I ask you something if you don't mind ? When exactly did you settle abroad assuming your formative years were spent in India or were you born & raised abroad ?

 

[sameer]

Yes, It is legal, but only for the Jews. There was an attack on Chadbad house in Mumbai back in 2008, after which the government made it legal for the jewish community to defend themselves with firearms.

 

[spindrift]

Yes, and it is regulated by Arms Act 1959 and various arms rules.

6 months cooling off period applies to date of joining the academy as well
A batchmate of mine was found unfit in SMB, due to a hernia surgery, again unfit in AMB for the same reason, was made fit in RMB, coz the 6 months cooling off period would be long done before the date of joining the academy.
