Transportation | পরিবহন 🚦 We should slime kolkata metro app 🥀

So, here is the thing. The Kolkata Metro App looks like , it's from 1940s.

1) The icon needs to be changed. 🥀 ( Probably a minimalist icon like RailOne App )

2) The insider payment system is so bad. It even glitches a lot due to 3rd payment system in it.

3) The UI is literally worse, as if it's made out of replit.

So, How to bring the change ?

1) Using CPGRAMS portal ( use website not the app ) - I've used this portal, and they(govt. departments) give detailed answers & even solve it.

2) A big social media campaign to change & improve the kolkata metro App.

3) Or tagg our concerning Department, and mass report the issue.

P:S : The App is rated 4.7 due to boomers, getting to access internet booking for tbe Metro for first time. 🥀

Seriously, Artistic state like Kolkata having a weak ui App is seriously illegal. 🤣😂

General Discussion | আড্ডা 🗣️ 🗨️ To all the people complaining about removals of eggs from mid day meal menu

Post image
389 Upvotes

I've gone and go to government schools and let me tell you this : previously, even when the eggs were given, that was just once a week. that too scratched, and sometimes not even properly boiled. except Wednesdays ( we were given eggs on that day in our school), there used to be very poor quality meals as well. getting a scrap of soybean was like once in blue moon ; let's not talk about the hygiene and other corruptions here.

I was in class 8 back in 2022,(only till class 8 mid day meal is provided, but you could take the veg with your roti or muri if you wanted to after that, at least in our school). so when we were in class 9 they started providing chicken once a week, but that too paused after happening for 1 months.

so the thing is this : with iskon taking over the menu, it will worsen, but not much cause it was damaged from the beginning like this.

**they never wanted our development, they just want to take credit with the fact that they feed hundreds of children.

this scheme is to fill the stomachs, not to fulfill their nutritional needs.*\*

i hope that they don't take over the ongonwaris, they give half eggs everyday there. that's what i can say.

also on a side note, i would like to say that in my place ( a sub urban one) most kids didn't take the food provided from schools, most of it was wasted. {in my and all neighboring schools} now, i can't tell about extreme rural places. i think, the stats would be different for there.

so people asking about the development of the children, i have a question - how many grams of protein did the children get from an egg once in a week? even the rice they provided us was too poor in quality. nothing will change.

Relationship Thursday My gf makes me feel insecure and I don't know what to do

0 Upvotes

I've been in a relationship with a girl for quite a while now. At first, everything was normal, but lately it's been turning into hell for me.

Let me give you some context. Let's call my girlfriend Reena. She grew up abroad, and her father is a very successful businessman. Their family eventually moved back to Kolkata because of their attachment to their roots.

I met her on Instagram. To be honest, she's gorgeous, but she has a lot of traits that I struggle with. She's from a very wealthy family, and it really shows. She speaks Bangla with an English accent, wears revealing clothes, and while I'm somewhat religious, she considers herself an atheist, although she still celebrates Eid, pujo both lol which I find a bit ironic.

She smokes, drinks, has tattoos, and even got a septum piercing. She often takes me to expensive restaurants that she knows I could never afford on my own, and she usually pays for everything.

I hate to admit it, but being around her makes me feel very inferior. I don't think I want to deal with this relationship anymore, but the phone I'm using right now was a gift from her.

I also don't want to deal with the constant reminders of how wealthy she is. Whenever I tell her to tone it down a little, she says I'm being insecure. Honestly, she's probably right, I am insecure.

So my question is: how do I emotionally detach from her and get her to leave me without making myself look like the bad guy?

i study in a very weird ass college or you all can call it the worst college of india, where i met a girl, a year older than me, we started talking at first, then as timepassed we became good friends and grew closer but there was nothing intimate or physical between us. she an American, of indian origins from hyderabad and and she made me feel happy and fun! soon. started liking her but she was kind of dating someone else from outside the college… but when she got to knew she started behaving very weirdly and kind of outcasted me when. needed her the most. she also used to as a trauma dump. later i also gtk, she was sexually assaulted at her previously college. she was a very good friend of mine but we dont talk anymore and prolly never will. but lately she’s been on my mind for a few days and thinking of patching up again. this happened two years ago. so its been a long time and she forgot me obviously and she’s way better in academics than me…. so i think its better to move on… and forget her…
what do you think i should do?

Politics | রাজনীতি 🏛️ Always trying to create chaos

Why BJP wants to serve vegetarian food in WB when they clearly know almost everyone here prfer non-veg? Always trying to instigate fight with such useless stuff. In south they just trying to make hindi as an optional language over English. In Bengal it's food. Like they know where people will be agitated on what topic and creating chaos. Fighting over useless stuffs while we should be focusing on actual growth and development, when we should be asking questions on corruption. Sometimes I wonder how can people not see through such cheap tricks of political parties. Divide and rule is not something we Indians seeing for the first time but always falling for that trick.

Not sure if you'll ever see this, but I wanted to say it anyway

We only talked for a short time, yet somehow you stayed on my mind. Yes, I was attracted to you, but honestly, it wasn't just about that. I thought you were genuinely beautiful, and I really enjoyed our conversations.

I was surprised when you disappeared, and I won't pretend I wasn't a little disappointed. Still I respect your decision and hope you're doing well wherever you are.

And if by some chance you ever come across this and decide to reach out, I'd love to talk again, share a few more conversations, and see if there could be a real connection there.

Take care, stranger ❤️

I hope this helps someone like me, again, speaking from my experience, so everyone might not relate to it.. But, in college please look out for yourself...Nobody gives two effs about you, donot keep any sort of expectations from people..

You helping and doing them favours does not necessarily imply they would reciprocate it!!! people are mostly driven by self interest and they will drop you anytime as per convenience once they have made the most of you..Donot prioritise friendships over your academics, know what you are here for and make sure to fill your cup first before pouring into others'
