so I've been watching modern family for a while. I've also watched a fair share of western shows. this is something I've noticed.

ham indians especially youth kya ji rahe hai, yha hamari age 20-25 ho rhi bina ladki/ladka se baat kiya opposite sex ke, bina hand hold kiye. udhar teenagers parties kar rahe, date kar rahe, atleast quality of life hai in terms of needs, idhar ham ladki se baat kar le, ladkiya ko ghumne aur kapde pehne par log offend ho jate hai, pura teenage exams ki preparation mein nikal jata hai, hamari puri validation society mein exam crack karne se hoti hai, it doesn't stop until 30s. omfg, our whole youth is just preparing for exams or job, uske baad bhi jo salery mil rahi wo enough nhi ghar chalane ko generally unless you're top 10%. agar kisi ke sath relationship aa bhi jao to phir caste aur religion ka issue kyuki "izzat" jayegi ghar walo ki, as a guy it's more tough because even if you refuse to follow conventional norms of society, I've to follow masculine roles like being strong, masculine and provider otherwise meri value nhi society mein. bhai mai itna strong nhi & sometimes i cry thinking life is so tough but wo bhi kisi ko bol nhi sakta kyuki yha log bol dege aurato ki tarah rone lagg rha.

hamare yha 25-29 years ke log parents se chhup chhup kar club/bars jaate hai, trip par jaate hai, apni relationship ka mention bhi nhi kar sakte if you get in one, parents usually expect kar rhe hote ki unka beta/beti UPSC ya koi exam nikalega, ye bhi koi zindagi hai bc

Hey Btechtards ! I'm Kuber Mehta, I'm a third year undergrad studying CS and I like messing around with fun projects with AI when not working haha

I was playing around with the Kepler and TESS data last weekend when I hacked around a way to pixel-peep stars dimming periodically to potentially find new exoplanets with Codex.

I ended up running the engine to find an interesting signal in Kepler data that was uncatalogued with a dip repeating every 13.77 days around KIC 5689121, a red dwarf in Lyra about 970 light-years away. If it's a planet, it'd be roughly 2.5–3 times Earth's radius !

Here's some more things we can figure out about it:
- It's likely has a Neptune-like gaseous atmosphere.
- It would orbit under 1/4th of Mercury’s distance with less than 14 days in a "year".
- It may recieve 5× the amount of sunlight Earth gets.
- Even at the fastest speed a spacecraft has ever reached, getting there would take around 1.5 million years.

Funnily enough, this candidate is just 7.1 arcseconds from a much brighter neighbor (KIC 5689116) and is very hard to see because of how much brighter it is (probably why it went unnoticed for so long) and the light we're measuring left that star around 1050 AD!

Of course, there's work to do before calling it confirmed - my TRICERATOPS analysis is about 6.9% and we have to get IR/AO / Keck observations to prove it's out there ! (which I'm honestly intimidated by but cautiously optimistic about because I've never done much formal research before) but I found the activity of making cool tools to potentially discover things about our universe quite fun !

Here's the entire archive and research - kuber.studio/planethunt/

Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's worked with Kepler data or exoplanet validation :)

Is that even real?

A person who had allegedly been stealing at NIT Agartala was caught today. It was reportedly discovered that the individual was not a student or staff member of NIT but an outsider who had been staying on campus and allegedly engaging in theft.

What makes this allegation even more disturbing is that, following a police investigation, there are claims that the individual may have been involved in a much more serious criminal operation related to organ trafficking. Reports further allege that some students from NIT were being targeted and that arrangements had allegedly been made to take them to Guwahati and sell their kidneys.

If these allegations are true, this is an extremely alarming matter that demands an immediate and thorough investigation. The safety and security of students must never be compromised, especially within an institution of national importance like NIT Agartala.

Just imagine the consequences if a student had gone missing, suffered a serious injury, or even lost their life before this alleged operation was exposed. Who would have been held accountable? How could such a serious threat have gone unnoticed?

(My clg is VIT Pune btw)

Got to know there's no freshers party, no garba nights, clg events are paid events with high fees too, no sports facilities or ground, how to survive in a clg like this ?

I'm seeing ppl of other clgs have so much fun, so many events n festivals ...and here we have nothing but just classes, ppt & assignments faltu ke 🫠

Genuinely done with this 'no fun' life ... Parents don't allow me having fun outside, they say 'padhne ke liye bheja hai bs wahi karo' this has been same since I was born ... socha tha clg jaake I'll do smtg but yaha bhi nahi, no campus life no college life no hostel life.

Btech ke baad mtech or job me toh vese bhi kuch fun krne nhi milne vala ... life is done here I'll get to have fun.

Before posting this, I had already added it. I come from a non-tech background—well, I'm in tech, but a completely different area. Before learning about this guy, today I saw something different.

i think this also a good parameter to judge clgs so peeps from the clgs drop the names of the one which have considerably good food, hygiene is the first priority taste second nutrition third

Posting this as a serious heads-up for anyone considering MVSR Engineering College.

During their recent Sangamam-2026 fest, a massive metal lighting truss/stand collapsed during the Dandiya event, tragically resulting in a student losing her life and multiple others getting injured. It was a completely avoidable disaster caused by pathetic safety standards and cheap setup work.

Ok, so this is out of context, totally, i am final yr student and this girl from aerospace is in 4th yr, i dont have direct crush but i liked her personality, damn she won hackathons and active in sports, that is what i found attractive, 3-4 months, i am trying to convince myself to talk to her, this tension i felt in my whole body, today i gathered my utmost courage to talk to her, then boom she is talking to someone on her phone, my friend had told me she might have a bf, but i want to confirm these personally, now that i have confirmed now that i have overcome my fear, yess i know i got rejected, but i am so happy that i took the courage to know the other side, damm i wrote this whole para, emotions flowing through my whole body.... her bf asked who is this guy and all ,things got akward, she left the table and went, but i know the answer nowwww and yeah a pure moment of bliss it is

Amazon has been hiring so many interns this season, it just makes me wonder if they actually even have the headcount to convert so many or will the conversion rate be bad ? Also, how can someone prepare before the internship starts/during the internship for strong conversion chances?

hey guys, i am in 3rd yr rn(sem 5) and i want to start system design, so could u please suggest me the resources, playlists from where i can learn system design from basic to adv. level,

Can we try for morgan stanley and visa via offcampus, like morgan stanley hires interns through code to give hack I think and does visa hire via offcampus??

I am in my first year btech cse branch . But I am interested in creating projects using esp 32 .

It is also in my syllabus, so just wanted to give it a try . Where to buy components .

Hi everyone! I am Sriram. I completed my B.Tech in CSE at NIT, and after college, I started working at Visa Inc. in Bengaluru. I recently relocated to the USA for an AI-based startup. Anyone in the early stages of their career or looking for guidance is welcome to message me

hey everyone, i am not writing this as marketing gimmick, i m writing this because i am completely exhausted and genuinely at a crossroads i am Bibhash Dutta i started my company flowtask at 19 year old it been 1.5 years old of grinding with literally zero rupees in my pocket and the toll it is talking on my mind and body is getting to be too much

here is the raw unfiltered journey of how i got here

the shit product phase

flowtask started as an AI workspace company think notion meets trello because i had zero budget i tried to build the whole thing using coding agent and doing the rest myself the reality I built exactly what people in the startup world warn you about a shit product i tried selling it to indian market most people didn't understand it or didn't even try. i managed to get 1 or 2 users who got the point but they didn't pay instead they found endless bugs as a solo dev i was sitting there fixing enterprise level bugs line by line i realized the core idea was flawed, which is why i wasn;t getting sales

pivot the automation realization i was stuck so i literally went to chatgpt and asked how i could change the idea it made me realize people don;t want another manual prodcutivity tool they want automation so i pivoted i made it so users could connect channles like custom emails and Slack. Messages would come in and automatically turn into tasks on a Kanban board, assigned to specific team members based on their job roles.

i bought a domain made a logo did some branding on socials, and launched on Product Hunt i hustled hard, messaging people in LinkedIn and PH groups to let them know we were launching we got 103 upvotes. But my distribution completely failed. Still zero paying customers.

pivot 2 the company brain yc rfs summer 2026 then I saw the yc rfs summer 2026 saw the company brain concept and realized Flowtask was mostly an execution tool not a brain so, we pivoted again we removed the standard workspace, added an approval layer, integrated MCP (Model Context Protocol), and added multiple channels.

i officially registered the company on April 21, 2026 we went back to product hunt this time we used automation to contact group members. It worked better: we got 145+ upvotes, hit the #10 Rank of the day and even got featured in the product hunt newsletter the reality check & where cold email failed Despite the #10 rank the newsletter feature and 1.5 years of sleepless nights... I still have no paying customers.

please don't just comment send cold emails i already tried Apollo i scraped founders, sent tons of cold emails, and got dead silence zero responses if you think my copy was bad, I can share how I wrote them in a follow-up post, but safe to say email felt like shouting into an empty void

I've been seriously considering open-sourcing the entire project just to get some relief from carrying this burden alone.

Where I genuinely need your help:

1. Better distribution paths: Aside from cold emailing and vanity Product Hunt upvotes, how would you actually market and distribute a workflow/company-brain tool like this to get the first 5–10 paying users?
2. Looking for a Co-Founder: I can build, integrate protocols, and ship fast, but I clearly need someone strong on the growth/distribution/marketing side. If this product space interests you and you want to partner up and take this on together, shoot me a DM.

Would really appreciate any raw, actionable ideas right now.

So I'm 2nd year student doing CSE from an tier 1 NIT . I , from the very beginning, didn't had any interest in coding. My coding skills are just average till now i only know DSA and MERN .But i have very strong interest in Consulting and Finance , i want to make career in those particular field and not in tech .But there's no as such good opportunities in my college.

I'm very much confused on whether I should pursue MBA after my btech graduation or

I should complete my degree , get a job work for 1-2 years and then try to switch roles

(and I geniunely want to swift to consulting and finance ). Anyone going thru the same shit please help me😭😭

Which domain to choose as in to level up in this job market? I am very much confused about which has more scope at this time.. system design,web development, embedded systems, AI?

lol, yaha bi first nhi aya

I'm currently in my 4th year of college, and placements have started. Honestly, I'm feeling pretty lost right now. I have no good projects, very limited technical skills, and I feel like I've fallen way behind compared to my peers.

My skills right now:

-200+ Leetcode questions, around 50 on Codeforces

-Started learning MERN, but feeling like development is useless coz of AI

-Basic knowledge of Data Science

I'm regretting not starting earlier, and now I'm scared that I won't be able to get placed. I don't know what to prioritize or where to start with the limited time I have left.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and managed to turn things around? Is it still possible to improve my chances if I start working seriously now?

I'd really appreciate some honest advice on what I should focus on first.

PS- Used AI for better framing of sentences

guys i could really use some help , we are looking for sponsors for our tech fest , so people who have brought sponsors for their college events if you guys could help me with some leads , i will be forever grateful .
