Random/Miscellaneous accidentally hooked a girl's dupatta at garba and his bf beat me up

20 Upvotes

i was dancing at this garba with my partner when this one women started rotation dance(she was doing 360' turns) near me. so obviously, her dupatta started flying around and it got stuck with my accessories in my fingers and when she moved towards her bf (away from me), he dupatta got stuck with me. now of course this wouldnt have been a big deal if her boyfriend wasnt short tempered or if that dupatta was free (not attached). But no, she had attached that dupatta to her blouse by a safety pin. her sudden jerk movements while the dupatta was attached to me got her blouse a little ripped. now it was totally unintentional. im not a jerk.
but im an idiot cause i had chugged few whiskey shots before the dance. when his bf came up to me to confront about it (it looked more like he was gonna beat my ass which he later did), he could smell the alcohol from me. Now obviously i was f-ked.
imagine this, a guy tearing woman's blouse in a garba night who happen to be reeking of alcohol. how does it sound? pretty f-king bad.
i told him it was totally an accident and my girl came stepped in front of me. so he before he left, he told me "teri g*and todunga bahar nikal".
after he left, and we started dancing, i totally even forgot about this mishap. we danced for 2 hour and so and then when i left outside to get the cab, he grabbed my collar from behind and punched me right in the face. i got kind of dizzy and before i could process anything, i saw him leaving on his bike. my girl was still inside and therefore she didnt see anything. i was actually shocked he waited this long for me to come outside. it was a stupid move on my side to go drunk to an event with my partner at night.

बात चीत What If the Love of Your Life Isn't a Person, but Your Work?

7 Upvotes

Once, I met a girl on Reddit who told me that she had been feeling very horny lately, almost 24/7. So I suggested that she focus on her work and exercise. She told me that she was a doctor at the age of 22 and already worked out.

So I asked her, Are you perhaps unhappy with your work? She replied, You're right. I don't like being a doctor.

You know, there is one thing in life that can free you from so many of your inner struggles: finding meaningful work that you genuinely love, something you can dedicate your whole heart, mind, energy, and time to. Something you enjoy doing so much that you would still do it even if you weren't paid for it.

Once you find that kind of work, other people's words won't hurt you as easily, and you may find yourself feeling less desperate for a girlfriend or boyfriend.

The people living some of the most fulfilling lives are those whose work has become their love. They have found something that makes their lives meaningful.

Think about how many inventions have come into existence because inventors loved what they were doing. They enjoyed their work. It wasn't always about the money or fame. They simply fell in love with the process of creating something.

And I think I've found something I could make my own love: design.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to pursue it properly because of financial difficulties. There is also this mindset in society that you must either become an engineer, a doctor, or prepare for a government job to have a successful life.

But now, after completing my BCA degree, I plan to dive completely into the world of design.

So many people spend their lives searching for a girlfriend, a boyfriend, or true love. But instead of spending all your time searching for romantic love, why not search for meaningful work? Explore different fields and try different things. Eventually, something might click, and you may discover a passion you never knew you had.

You might not even realize when that work becomes the thing you love most.

People spend so much time and money on relationships, yet sometimes they get very little in return and end up with even more stress and emotional problems.

I'm not saying that love and relationships are bad. I'm saying that you shouldn't make finding a romantic partner the only purpose of your life.

Find meaningful work. Invest your time and energy in it. Explore different fields until you discover something you genuinely love.

And one day, you might realize that you've fallen so deeply in love with your work that you no longer feel like you're searching for something to complete your life.

Because sometimes, the love you've been searching for isn't a person. It's the work that makes you feel alive.

Ask Kanpur Traveling to Kanpur.

14 Upvotes

I'd be visiting IIT Kanpur for a short visit recently. But as a girl I am a bit scared after reading the news paper. I know that the campus would be fine and I don't plan on getting out of the campus much, but my only concern is that both while reaching kanpur and getting back home, my train timings are a bit odd...as in late at night. Any suggestions on what mode of transport would be safer for going from the station to the IIT campus?

Thank you in advance, I don't mean to imply that kanpur is especially unsafe, but for someone not from UP, I'm just a little apprehensive.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Really grateful for them. And for the people saying that why I'm scared and what exactly I have read in the media, all I want to say is that I am a woman who would be traveling alone to a new place that's not exactly known to be super safe for women in general. And not as unsafe as other cities is still quite unsafe. Nonetheless, appreciate all of your suggestions.
