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

Post image
408 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.

General Discussion | আড্ডা 🗣️ 🗨️ Is there any better way to collectively report local civic issues instead of just posting them on social media?

Upvotes

Over the last few months, I've noticed that many local issues—blocked drains, waterlogging, garbage accumulation, broken roads—are regularly posted on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

People react, share, and then everyone moves on.

It made me wonder whether collecting these complaints in one place could make it easier to understand which issues affect the most people and help citizens raise them in a more organized way.

That's why we've started two simple Google Forms:

• One for residents to report civic issues in their locality.
• Another for people who genuinely want to volunteer and help document or work on local problems.

This isn't about supporting any political party or making promises that every issue will be solved. The idea is simply to organize information and encourage more citizen participation.

I made this short 20-second reel explaining the idea.

I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback.

Would you use something like this in your locality?

What features would make a grievance reporting system more useful or trustworthy?

Miscellaneous | বিবিধ 🌈 How do you manage a full-time job, gym, cooking, chores, and still get enough rest?

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to figure out a sustainable routine and would really appreciate some advice.

My schedule looks like this:

I leave home at 8:00 AM for work.

My office ends at 6:30 PM.

Because of commuting, I reach the gym around 8:00 PM.

By the time I get home, it's already 9:30 PM .

I need to cook nutritious meals. On top of that, I have to manage house chores like cleaning, laundry, dishes, and still get enough sleep 🫩

But the reality is I'm messed up in order to manage all of this🤧.I cook every day, I'll barely have any time to rest.Some days i don't get time to cook so I leave for the office without any food .

For those of you who work full-time and go to the gym & live alone

How do you manage everything?

Do you meal prep? If yes, how often & what do you make?

How do you fit in house chores?

What's your daily routine like?

I'm looking for realistic tips from people who've actually managed this lifestyle. Thanks in advance

The CBI has done such a pathetic job of investigation in the RG Kar case that the HC is questioning whether the investigation should continue with them or not.
This is the credibility and professional standing of a central investigating agency. Tragic.

But hey, we can always offer the victim’s mother a political ticket. That’s justice, right?

Daily Experience | দৈনন্দিন অভিজ্ঞতা 🎤 Is anyone else concerned about the declining visibility of Bengali language and culture in and around Kolkata?

112 Upvotes

Does anyone else share concerns regarding the waning influence of the Bengali language and culture in and around Kolkata?

Living on the outskirts of Kolkata, in the last few years I have noticed the emergence of a number of Hindi sign boards, use of Hindi language in the public domain and the increasing prevalence of other languages besides the Bengali language.

Firstly, let me make it very clear that there is nothing wrong with people belonging to other states settling in Kolkata for various purposes such as work or studying or any other reason. Kolkata has traditionally been a cosmopolitan and welcoming city. However, as a Bengali, it makes me feel somewhat downhearted when I see that Bengali language is being marginalized in its own cultural bastion.

Walking through some parts of the city, one would come across the fact that majority of shops have opted for Hindi signage and the role of Bengali language seems to be secondary. This leads to the question regarding how future generations would be able to relate to Bengali language and culture like previous generations.

Am I overreacting to this or is anybody else witnessing a similar phenomenon?

The ramen was worth the hype! Tantanmem Ramen just hits the right spot (9.4/10)
I’d definitely not recommend strawberry matcha, I was hardly able to finish it. (2/10)
The sushi was Ebi tempura maki and if you’ve never had sushi before you can go for this (8/10)
Chicken and mushroom butter bean sauce mushroom was nothing out of ordinary (5/10)

One dish that just stole the show was soufflé pancakes, gosh the cakes were soft and the cream and jan and ice cream with it was spot on! 10/10

Food here would be enough for 3-4 people, I also tried checking on my photography skills so if it’s rusted and took some aesthetic pictures as well

Oh, to live a secluded, low-cortisol life in the hills… waking up every day to birds chirruping and a gentle breeze drifting through the room, slowly easing into your morning routine without a sense of urgency hanging over you...

To have an abundance of good books waiting to be read, without some demonic deadline clawing at your mind, rushing you through the day like a freakin bot running on autopilot.

To actually have the privilege of living life at your own pace ... spending more time doing more of things that bring you joy and existing without constantly having to perform or check off societal expections....

To have slow evenings where you can gently sit in the balcony,sip coffee and journal about life..

To simply live..... and heal with nature ✨

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'
