#How To Go Abroad For Studies from India

[timetravellingkitty]

hii i hope ur having a good day :3

ive been following u for a while but im too scared to not be anonymous lol

ive been thinking about going abroad for college because theres close to nothing for art students here but the amount of indian racism everywhere is freaking me out

if i stay here i feel like itll hurt my career and i really hate people treat any minority or anyone a little out of the norm and im so sick of being stared at everywhere and having a 7pm curfew in like all hostels while boys have a way later one. and afaik theres no way to get hrt or anything regarding that for trans or nb people? not too sure. ig im hoping leaving this country will let me be queer and figure my shit out a little. its all so unfair and idk how to deal tbh

anyway i think ur very funny and awesome yay

i dont really know why im saying this , you dont have to respond or anything

hello you have unlocked a kind of angst I usually keep to myself but I get you. sorry for doing this to your ask so ignore this if you want to

the thing is I sympathise with people aiming to leave india because there is genuinely not a lot of options for many reasons and the evergrowing vicious cycle (I'm sure you get what I'm referring to) it's that my attachment to this place that really prevents me from leaving. like even if I do go abroad for studies or anything I'd want to come back as soon as possible because when I was in the usa for almost 3 years as a child I missed india a lot but felt so bad about it because my home country was UNDERDEVELOPED and THIRD WORLD and of the GLOBAL SOUTH and MISOGYNISTIC and POOR meanwhile I was in america the most developed place on planet earth (lie). I think an adjacent identity crisis about being disconnected and being cognizant of how awful anti indian racism both irl and online is, is what can make lots of young privileged indian americans prone to uncritically flout around narratives about caste and religion just to resolve it

everything here is so unfair tbh the societal rot is so so sickening and suffocating and it is a driving factor behind a lot of people leaving cause of how unsafe this place is. I strongly believe no one should be forced to leave their home just to be safe. I'm privileged enough to get access to the means to leave india but the vast majority of indians aren't even close to and will most likely never be even close to this. going back to vicious cycle and whatnot - whatever I want to do, i want to do it here. whatever privilege I have insulates me from a lot and I don't want any of it nor do i want to be a part of said cycle. no matter how much I hate fascists and nationalists I love the rest of the population even more and I love this place as a home, as something that's familiar to me and as something that's me and mine wait who said that

so honestly? idk how to deal with this either. I do know that there's nowhere else I'd belong and I want to stay here but I don't know what and how to do what it is I want to do. I wish things went differently after we got free from british colonisation and that we fr acche se decolonised and all idk how to word this but I'm sure you get what I mean it's a kind of insane going from being violently exploited by britain to hindu fascism I don't like this cursed continuation chat

there's no loving the indian state for me tho idgaf about genocidaires and their lackies it's been mid from day ONE it's just getting so so much worse now

but uh tldr i lost the idgaf war and I'm making it your problem now because I don't just want things to get better for everyone here I also want to help make it better (because obviously one person will give us the revolution) so I feel you nonnie I hope you're staying awesome apologies for not having much hope to give you

edit: sorry I forgot to mention but I don't have a lot of advice about getting hrt, except that it's easier to get in urban areas and more varied, especially estradiol. transitioning in india is a on the harder side ofc but it is a possibility here. I hope this is of some use to you

F1 Drivers As Desi Boys

A.K.A. The F1 grid as Indian guys

Also, I will be writing an entire chatfic about this AU on ao3, so stay tuned ;)

Charles Leclerc — “Charlie”

I think he would be from Mumbai. But like, he lived in the very high-end part of it so it's very hard to know right off the bat.

I just KNOW he studied abroad, okay? Italy or Canada I think. Look at his face— you just know he's the kinda guy people see on the street and think “angrej”

Speaks Hindi with a subtle but insufferable white guy accent. He can't even help it, that's just how he speaks. He once called Max “bhenchod” with the most authentic, desi accent when he was mad and they have all beaches in that high ever since.

Dropped out of university in his last year and came back to India to handle his dad's business after his dad's death.

Fell in love with the hot employee and made him the manager. Everyone knows Carlos got the position by sleeping with the new young hot boss but they stay silent to avoid getting fired.

Now lives in the same complex in Mumbai as Carlos, Max, Lando and others. Lives with his mother, two brothers and a dog.

Leo is a recurring guest in every society event no matter what. Shanta aunty ki kitty party? He's invited. Children playing cricket below? He is the referee. Security guard's dad died? Arthi Leo hi utha raha hai.

Best friends with Pierre. went to the same school as him in his childhood.

Not friendly at ALL with Max.

Carlos Sainz— “Mirchi”

Marathi Mulga for sure

Maula Mere Maula king of guy

His ass should be in a TV serial

Was a regular office worker before he fucked down his boss and now he's the manager. And, well, a win is a win, right?

His parents were kind of homophobic before he became the manager. It's hilarious, actually.

He has such a good voice. If you catch him singing one of the old bollywood songs of Lata Mangeshkar or Muhammad Rafi, consider yourself blessed by the gods.

Knows how to cook since he lives alone

Literally the guy every aunty dreams of marrying their daughter to. Manager of his office. Cooks. Cleans. Respects his elders. Funny. Charming. Every time he and Charles go out at least one middle aged person has asked Carlos if he's married yet and frankly, as his boyfriend who's Right There, Charles is pretty offended.

Have y'all seen the pictures of him in those button up shirts and trousers? The eyes that make Rahat Fateh Ali Khan songs play in your ear every time you look into them? So desi husband material

Best friends with Lando, basically brothers with his they are with each other

Like any best friend, he does NOT like Lando's boyfriend

Max Verstappen— “JATT DON'T CARE 💪🔥💯”

From Haryana

The M in Max stands for Mharo Balam Thanedar Chalawe Gypsy— jkjk

Some say he's aggressive, hot headed, quick tempered; some say he's just Haryanvi.

Is in a psychosexual homoerotic rivalry with Charles and is in denial because of his internalised homophobia.

His dad and Charles’ dad were business partners and now they're always wanting to one up another in the family businesses.

Talking about his father— his dad is very rich and also a typical Haryanvi dad. Bapu sehat ke liye haanikarak type shit.

His father made him do kushti when he was younger and Charles still teases him about it

Will randomly infodump about his father whenever the opportunity presents itself

Married

With how he usually is and what his childhood was like, you'd think he'd be a horrible father but you're WRONG

Everyone loves his daughter Prithvi, or P, for short.

They love spoiling her. Every year on her birthday she gets so many gifts it takes her two days just to open them.

Funnily enough, she once “betrayed” him by saying her favourite was Charlie Uncle.

I just think it would be so funny if he drove a Toyota Fortuner.

Lando Norris— “Lassan 🧄”

From Bangalore

Youtuber. Makes videos for every one of his channels religiously. Has a channel for gaming, another for vlogs, another for shorts and somehow manages them all while uploading reels and posting on Instagram???

He's a university student but nobody knows it because he's always posting videos so they just think he's a full time youtuber

“Shares a room” with Oscar, who is his boyfriend, by the way. You'd never guess. (that is a fucking lie. If you watch even one of his livestreams you'd know that they have explored each other's bodies. He's always “dekho guys Oscar aa gaya 😄😄😄” bro you're not fooling anyone)

Has his own merchandise. His designs are always so cool that they sell out before they're properly out.

Will probably make his own content team when he graduates

He once slipped on the desi toilet while travelling and Carlos made a reel about it. It is one of his most famous reels and Lando will absolutely ignore you if you talk about it.

Kinda fuckboyish???? Like he gives off the vibes of the kinda boy that only texts you past midnight and says shit like “what are you wearing? ;)” Like thank god he has a boyfriend or he would single handedly destroy the faith in love of every girl in a 5 kilometre radius

Oscar Piastri— “gora pakora”

From Goa

Frequently shows up on Lando's videos and livestreams

Studying engineering and living with Lando, basically taking care of him because of course he is

Regular victim of Lando's youtube shenanigans. Gets pranked one too many times every other day.

Has this kind of dead stare where he's just 😐 until Lando comes and annoys (see: kisses or pranks) him

Gets asked “bhai tu kabhi kuch bolta kyu nahi hai” so frequently he should just write “pata nahi yaar” on his face.

Has strong beef with Carlos. Do not talk about that man in front of him. Now this is really inconvenient because Carlos is Lando's bEsT FrIeNd iN tHe WoRlD

There beef started when Lando cried because he missed Oscar and Carlos showed up to Oscar's parents house asking him to square the fuck up. His parents —poor them they don't even know their son is gay— were left to wonder why their son was on a video call with his roommate OUTSIDE in the middle of winter vacation while a strange man cussed him the fuck out.

Lando can and will and DOES make him do silly dance trends with him on Instagram reels

Best friend is Logan, who studies engineering with him. You don't know how much you can depend on someone else until you're an IISER student and they're the only good friend you have.

Daniel Ricciardo— “Paaji”

From Chandigarh

Y'all remember Sodhi from Tarak Mehta Ka Ulta Chashma? Yeah. Him.

No one knows how he's able to control Max. Literally his best friend. Max will always have a resting bitch face but when Danny paaji is there he's all “😆😆😂😂🤣🤣” like bro 😐

I just know he would randomly say “oye balle balle balle balle balle” for no reason other than to annoy people. I just know it.

Actually works very hard and always helps people, but he's such a troll that people just think he's some unemployed youtuber with a prank channel

Absolute party animal. Do not ever in front of him mention that you're free that night.

George Russell— “nazuk kali”

From Delhi

Graphic designer. Edits Lando's videos for nim. Studies computer science.

Shared a room with Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant. Their relationship status is very complex. I'm not saying that they're a throuple, I'm not saying that they're friends. What I'm saying is that they're so dependent on each other I don't think they could function alone anymore. These three idiots make a full functional human being together. George cleans the house, Alex does the cooking and Logan does the laundry and the dishes. They manage, thanks.

George Russell is the type of guy to say “ghar pe maa behen nahi hai kya?” When he sees a girl getting catcalled.

George Russell is the type of guy to say “aapko kahin lagi to nahin?” When he bumps into someone.

George Russell is the type of guy to cover his mouth and say “uff” when he eats something spicy on accident.

On that note, George absolutely cannot handle his spice. Never bit into a raw green chilli willingly in his entire life.

You just know he eats the meethi pani puri with the red chutney and all.

Thinks momos are better than pani puri (he's wrong).

Closes his eyes and covers his ears when a condom ad or a spicy movie scene comes on the TV

Very pale because he rarely leaves his room (which— he's a computer science major, come on)

Lewis Hamilton— “dac saab”

From Kozhikode (Kerala)

Fashion influencer, gets brand deals all the time. Always promoting this brand or that.

Also actually a veterinary doctor with his own dog clinic.

Has a youtube channel where heostly makes affordable fashion tips etc but also posts the dogs at his clinic from time to time.

Spent a lot of years in South Delhi where he fell in love with a guy when he was a teenager but when he eventually moved back to Kozhikode they fell out of contact. Now he’s moved to Mumbai as he opened up a new clinic there and doesn't even know that he actually lives in the same goddamn building as the guy he fell in love with 20 years ago back in South Delhi.

I think y'all can already guess who the guy was, but if you can't (shame on you) it's Nico Rosberg.

Had a wife but she cheated so they divorced or something idk how do you justify a 40 year old guy being unmarried in India?

Loves his dogs more than anything, if there's a dog at his clinic that he can't save he will be sad for days.

Speaks Hindi in a voice that's like three octaves lower than his usual voice. Thinks he sounds bad but he sounds so damn hot.

Nico Rosberg— “thi ek.”

From South Delhi

News anchor for sure. Has a sadness in his eyes that makes you wonder if he ever got over the heartbreak he had at 19 (he did not)

Most people think his hair is dyed (it is not) because he's a chapri (he might be)

Legends say that the only time he has been seen with a smile on his face on TV was when he was talking about his childhood best friend.

The reason he doesn't anchor for any of the big or daresay political news channels is because they don't like how he compares international disputes to the fight he had with his best friend when he was 19.

Regularly travels to other metropolitan cities for news coverings (mainly sports) but lives in Mumbai for majority of the time.

In fact, lives in the same building as Lewis. The fact that they haven't run into each other in the elevator yet is a miracle (or a curse).

Will talk about love and heartbreak to anyone who would listen. You know those boys who say “thi ek” whenever someone tries to talk to them about love? Yeah that's him.

Married and has two daughters that he loves very much.

No pets because they remind him too much of Lewis.

Sebastian Vettel— “Chacha”

From Delhi

Lives in Mumbai with his wife.

Best friends with Lewis, knows everything about him and Nico.

Kind of a father figure to Charles.

The beloved colony uncle that always has the wildest stories ever. Catch him at the tea stall and just get him talking— you will be a changed man when he is done.

“Aur phir uska accident ho gaya aur usne apna haath kho diya, to uski manghetar ki family ne unse rishta tudwa liya. Jiske baad uski manghetar ki sagai mujhse hui aur phir hamari shaadi hui or shayad aaj bhi wo akela hi ek haath se apna hila raha hai bechara”

“...”

You would think considering how sweet he is, he was always this sweet but NO, this man was a MENACE.

Everyone who knew him before he got married wants him dead even now after all the years.

Fernando Alonso— "Kaka"

From Jaipur

The exact opposite of Sebastian.

The old man you see on the side of the road with paan in his mouth and a gaali on his lips

Also tells you stories from his youth and they're just as interesting but he's so arrogant about it that you're no longer interested in listening five minutes in no matter how interesting the story is

The kind of old man who sees children playing in the streets and starts acting like an overly invested referee for no reason.

Goes to the park in the morning at the same time as Sebastian but unlike him, Fernando does not let the joy and whimsy of life have any effect on him making you wonder why he's there at all

Lance Stroll— “vegan wali diet almond wala ghee 😌💅”

From South Bombay

Ameer baap ki bigri aulad

“What do you mean I can't buy the whole store?”

Y'all remember that “Mawn, terew paaw ki jewtie maawwww” girl??? Yeah

Sonam Kapoor is jealous of how much better he is at being a nepo baby

Logan Sargeant— “ye bhi thik hai”

Lives with George and Alex

From Goa

Thank god he does because he would not be surviving otherwise

Might have feelings for his roommates but all he knows how to do is wash the dishes and the clothes and he doesn't wanna die of hunger so he's silent.

Except maybe in front of Oscar but that's his best friendddd

Studying computer science too

Alex Albon— “dhokla4lifer”

From Gujarat

I might be projecting a bit but as someone who fucking LOVES dhokla, I don't see any reason as to why Alex should not.

Cooks for his two roommates, and always cooks so good.

Dhokla on Sundays and a tiffin box full of thepla and aam ka aachar whenever one of them is travelling home

Studying history and geography

Yuki Tsunoda— “momo wale bhaiya”

From Dehradun

Do not call him momo wale bhaiya. He can and will kill you.

Actually does love cooking

Has his own restaurant near the university campus

Pierre Gasly— “tantar mantar”

From West Bengal

Tired of everyone's “kaala jaadu” jokes.

Charles’ best friend and confidante.

Gossip girls. They have all the tea on everyone in the uni.

“Bokachoda”

Does sports.

Final year law student

Esteban Ocon— “Pierre's ex (he is NOT)”

From Odisha

Has beef with Pierre.

Will argue about anything from the origin of roshogulla to the state's contribution in the fight for freedom of the country.

Also final year law student

Extras—

Sergio Perez from Bihar

K Mag from Kashmir (haha get it? Because he's a track terroris—)

Nico Hulkenburg from Kashmir too

Valtteri Bottas from The Andaman Nicobar islands or something idk he shows so much ass it's unreal

Zhou Guanyu from Meghalaya

[rukri2418]

Today I saw an owl on my terrace around this time when I was feeling burnout due to studies and to relax I went to the terrace for a short walk. A brown and a white coloured owl(ig it is known as the barn owl) sitting on the pole of my terrace where wires are attached to hang clothes for drying.

I don't know why but I suddenly remembered Mata Rukmini and called my parents to see it and jokingly asked my mother if Mata Lakshmi had really come to our house today. I had never seen an owl before in my house but in other places. I decided not to take a photo of that bird and disturb it so we let it go.

The bird constantly reminded me of the pain my lovely Mata faced on this earth and here's my rambling.

People say that Rukmini is worshipped with Krishna in many places in India and abroad and I feel that these places are still much lower in no, than the actual ones that should exist dedicated to Mata Rukmini in India. As in a border sense being Krishna's eternal wife and most beloved consort, being the one who had to share her husband with 16107 others(I know they are Lakshmis but still the pain), bearing separation from her husband not just for 12 years but entire life as Krishna had to stay mostly with Pandavas and play his role in Mahabharata(Rukmini is also present with him but still separation), being separated from her first born(although she knew the purpose but still motherly love), seeing you most favorite brother being killed by your most favorite brother-in-law is painful but still she was quiet, getting opposition from your parents towards the one whom you love the most(she knew about all these but love and devotion), etc. and the list is endless. But still how much importance does she get? Only a few temples out of crores are known to us and almost none to most. Most of them were destroyed by the Muslim invaders and only Paliwal Dham ig was renovated. She is Krishna's soul so wherever Krishna is worshipped she is worshipped there too as she is his Shri. But is this enough? Dwarika sank only after the departure of their queen and yet the queen of Krishna's heart and abode is treated like she didn't even exist. Fake stories are cooked up disrespecting her. Sorry if it went too long.

I want to thank that owl a million times for inspiring me to write this post and I am really hoping to see more in my terraces everyday.

I am seriously in love with animals and birds and trying to study hard and get a job that involves these cuties.(not a vet though)

[aita-polls]

AITAH for telling my ex's mom I didn't marry her son because they were 'trashy' and 'poor'?

I (25f) come from an upper-middle-class Indian family. In our community, class and status matter a lot, and not marrying into your class or up often means you get disowned. I know it's regressive, but I have never dated anyone without telling them first hand and I have always known what background they came from so that I wouldn't get shamed in our community and neither would my parents. It's a norm, and one of the few I follow, because I can't put any more stress into my elderly parent's lives.

My ex and I broke up last year. We both studied in the same Uni abroad for our Master's and both of us stayed behind in the country. Being from the same community, we bonded over both of us speaking our mother tongue. I told him, the moment he asked me out, that I date to marry, and I would never marry someone my parents wouldn't approve of. I don't care if I sound conservative, I won't. They work very hard to give me a life of privilege and I won't make it hard for them. He reassured me of his family background and the idiot I was trusted him and didn't check. We lived separately anyway, and he was on scholarships and jobs like many of our friends, so I never bothered thinking otherwise. A year into dating he proposes marriage. I told him I wouldn't marry without travelling first. Plus I was thinking of going back to school for a second degree. Then he gaslights me on how I can live my life being married and doing all these things. My friends back home, to whom I told all this, ran a background check, and because we were from the same city, his lies came out.

Truthfully, he came from a family I could never marry into. Not only that, even though my family's conditions were to marry within our economic class, no matter what race or caste, his family came from a place where the veil for women (purdah), not working, and horrible living conditions were prevalent. He lied about his parents being government workers, only one of them had a high school diploma, and in India, it is considered a very bad thing. I confronted him, and we had a massive fight. He told me he would never even look in his family's direction again if I married him, and I was disgusted. I broke up with him, and he harassed me for months. He only stopped when my cousin went to his flat to talk to him, and I don't know what they talked about, but he stopped calling and texting me.

Only, yesterday I got a call from his mother (I'm back in India to celebrate festivals with my family), and she started to cry and tell me that her son blames them for me leaving him. I asked her where she got my number from and she said that he gave it to her. I was pissed, so I asked her to leave me alone, and she started to scream at me and call me names and asked me why wasn't her son enough, and why was marrying into a poor family so bad. So I told her that both she and her son were trashy and I wasn't going to suffer them, that them being poor was not my fault, and to never contact me again. She cried and cursed me.

I don't know, I feel bad, because maybe my ex hurt his mother and she was just mad and took it out on me. AITAH?

VALORANT UNIVERSITY HEADCANONS

@eviethelesbian once again thank you for the Headcanon List. Also shoutout to @darthladyofillusions because I included ur OC :)

Harbor is a history professor dating Astra, the archeology professor.  Both of them met on a trip to a site in India

Both of them reached for the same the brush at one point and they laughed it off later

Both of them are excellent teachers in their own way.  Varun has a habit of going on tangents about stories and is super nerdy about his subject.  Efia’s classes are fun and her energy is infectious

Cypher has a family and does cyber security for the University.  Nobody knows his actual name.

Nobody knows him that well but when he comes out of his office he’ll say hello to anyone nearby.  He goes home quickly though and usually avoids working late.

Cypher’s office is full of pictures of his family, drawings from his daughter, screens, and the scent of imported Moroccan teas

He and his wife and kid see the students off when they graduate, and all of the students are amazed to realize that this guy has such a good family life.  (They thought he was a no-life kinda guy)

Liam ‘Brimstone’ Byrne is the university’s Dean and basically runs everything as much as possible for the good of the students.  Tariq and him are the brains and guiding hand of the university

He retired from the military after he was given an educator’s license and became a professor of tactics at a military academy.  He then took his skills elsewhere and turned the college into what it is now

Liam keeps the students at the forefront of any policy changes and takes an interest in professors that are considered brilliant but difficult to work with.  He’s an expert of recruitment and reining in the right people

Has snacks in his office for students but they can only get them if they complete a pull-up on an pull-up bar he has in his office.  One arm only.

Sabine worked at R&D at a pesticide company but is the only Organic Chem teacher that the Valorant U could get.  Somehow is a good professor despite hating students and no general teaching

She doesn’t really hate them but it isn’t a good idea to get on her bad side.  It’s rumored she poisons the students she hates.  

Stared daggers into the first person (Jamie), to make a Breaking Bad reference and since then nobody brings it up

Classes with her are pretty tense but if a student actually tries and gives their all, she’ll notice and be kinder to them.  Especially students who study chemistry.  Double for O-Chem.

Sabine’s style of teaching could use work, but when she tries to explain complex ideas she’s genuinely in her element.  She once explained how tetrodotoxin and nerve ion channels worked to Zyanya’s little sister 

Zyanya is a professor for sure, probably the best Spanish teacher ever.  Beyond terrifying to new students

She will not let students forget proper accents and grammar, and god help the people that do.  Somebody once forgot their homework and Zyanna was literally this close to killing them

Her Spanish is specifically Mexican, and that extends to the class through some of the words she teaches.  Especially bits in culture and authenticity

Zyanya’s idea of testing people is borderline an interrogation.  10 minutes of extensive and stern conversations and multiple pages of writing.  People say it feels like their souls have literally been drained

Students come out of the classes fluent or scarred for life

Ling is a professor of medicine and completed her PHD around the same time Viper completed hers.  They were amazed to see each other teaching

She does Tai Chi for relaxation but did at one point learn Kung Fu while living abroad in a monastery for a couple of years.  She once broke a board in front of her class just to prove it

Hosts meditation hours during finals week and her office hours are always super useful for all of the medical and nursing students.  Calming as hell to anxious people

Tala got a scholarship via cross country and another from basketball, and wants to major in physical therapy.  She also got a job doing late night shifts at the library as security.

Hazal is in a band called Nightmare.  Her and several other introverts got together and started one.  Only perform in the most obscure venue.  She can play bass REALLY WELL

Tala found out and now shows up to every performance the band has.  If it weren’t for the lights flashing red and blue, you could see Hazal blushing when she spots Tala in the crowd

That’s how she met Hazal.  Tala was approached by her because Hazal wanted to study late and the two became acquainted

Both of them love the late nights that they share and Hazal is always at one of Tala’s games.  Tala picks her out of the crowd every time, and at the end Hazal always kisses her 

Mateo is a veterinary student and is everyone’s friend.  Except Iselin because some of his patients got into her office once and trashed her latest project model

He keeps fish, dogs, lizards, cats, and nearly everything else.  At one point he was in charge of a project that kept some monkeys around at one point 

The animal counterparts are a chameleon (Dizzy), a Chinese High Banded Shark (Thrash), a bullfrog tadpole (Mosh), and an Axolotl named Wingman

He has a crochet version of his (radivore) crew, courtesy of Omen being bored one day

Mateo is a Gen Z kid, and his vocabulary beyond salvaging

Jamie is an English major, I mean, obviously

Everyone likes Jamie, he brings a certain energy to everything he does and it resonates well with people.  His writing has a level of power and rhythm that makes it both easy to listen and layered

He is a songwriter, and poet, and even has a collection of published short stories.  His mums are proud.  His scripts are also incredible and his goal is to get his own musical to Broadway 

When Jamie is in a play, it’s usually as the protagonist or the main antagonist.  It is wonderful to see him on stage, especially because he’s trained as a Shakespearean actor

Tayane is THE art student and the reason most of the faculty drinks.  And also the reason why most of the students drink too

Absolute ragers getting thrown anytime Tayane is involved.  This woman does not stop until the sun is up

Her graffiti portraits are inspired, colorful, and almost always on government property or university property.  Brim started commissioning her in order to stop her from painting everything

The commissioned murals are a lot better for her, and gave her legal access to make huge projects on some of the older buildings

One of the walls is a silhouette of a woman with big circular glasses, geometric pink and yellow patterns around her, and surrounded by flowers

Vincent Fabron is the art teacher and Viper HATES him.  He’s also that one teacher an unreasonable amount of people of have a crush on

He was a tattoo artist while taking art lessons in France, then moved into high class art.  His gallery pieces gained a lot of attention and he gained a lot of money from them.

Now he teaches art, and has done graphic design for many upscale companies.  His own business card has won awards from design and art societies though

Omen is a guy in a scarf and hoodie that is somehow in everyone’s classes.  He crochets in the back sometimes.

Texts notes at 4am to anyone who needs it and is incredibly nocturnal.  He doesn’t need sleep he needs friends

Students never remembered or learned his name, so they just started calling him Omen after the laptop brand he uses

Erik ‘Breach’ Torsten is a coach they brought in and actually manages a paralympic team.  May have criminal past according to some of the athletes he manages

He will scream at people in Swedish during games, practice, going over strategies, and if he sees them in public.  Friendly but so loud

His prosthetic arms were a courtesy of the university’s science program.  They were partially a gift and partially a test to see what they could do.  Erik made sure that he could flip people off with the arms

Iselin the professor of Industrial Design, and she is the most stern professor ever.  At times she works for a wilderness recreation company and does product design for them.  

She is very organized, and her lecture presentations are always available, she lists the pages to read, dates for every assignment are posted a month in advance

Iselin’s a professional and rarely eases up, but the few times she’s been out with the other faculty she’s been surprisingly fun.  Especially with Ling for some reason

Kirra is a Biology professor that has so many plants in her room.  Has a parakeet, dog, and fish tank at home too.  Does wildlife photography on the side.  

Kirra protested in college and was arrested once for sabotage.  So she is totally chill with people missing class for stuff, and gives extra credit for students involved in causes

Goes on wilderness expeditions with some students for a class and memorized several survival books worth of information and knows every plant, animal, and fungus she comes across

Klara is an engineering major and Tayane just comes to those classes because she can.  It usually results in the equipment being plastered in stickers and paint.

They met when Tayane decided to tag the garage that Klara was keeping her final project in.  Both of them sort of caught feelings as soon as they saw each other

Klara fell so damn hard, and realized this while Tayane was doing a kegstand.  Klara whispered ‘she’s perfect’ mindlessly and then realized Sunwoo was right next to her

Sunwoo finished what was in her cup, patted Klara on the back, and said ‘good luck’ before walking away and pretending she didn’t hear

Her final project has been her ‘Lockdown’ which is basically an EMP crossed with a massive DDOS hack.  It went off once and downed the college’s internet for a week.

She’s going to switch it to something a little less destructive at this point, and Tayane is helping her brainstorm.  Currently it’s a robot but she’s trying to figure out what to make it do

KAY/O is Tariq’s gamertag.  The man is a CS:GO fiend and has crazy flashes due to muscle memory

Liam and him are MARRIED.  I’m not budging on this one and you will find me dead in the ground before I let this go

Tariq’s good at a lot of random stuff and doesn’t help out too much at the college but is well-known as the ‘guy who Brim allows to help grill things’ because nobody else is allowed

Helps Liam plan out things for the students and assists in any sort of set up that he can do

Ryo is studying Japanese History and works as a mechanic at a chop shop.  It is shady as hell over there but Yoru will hook people up if needed.  They definitely steal parts though

He takes business classes and there’s a real chance he might double major.  His business acumen and aggressive nature would make him the ultimate CEO

Sasha is the professor that most students simp for, and he teaches Russian Language classes.  Throws things at students that don’t pay attention and rarely misses

He has an owl nesting outside of the window to his classroom, he named it Matrioshka after the nesting dolls.  It had owlets so it seemed fitting.

His babushka lives out of the country but gets a continuous stream of gifts from him

Sasha is that one professor that has a weird story for everything in his room.  The bow he has? killed a grizzly bear with it.  Glass eye on display?  It was a gift from a glassmaker that was caught with illegal firearms.  Weird rock?  It was at the sight of a historic battle and has a bootprint in it

Has SO MANY books from Russian writers he reads in his off time.  Also does archery at a cabin he has in the woods.

Nobody could handle Novikov at the cabin, the sheer hotness of him splitting firewood, bow hunting, and chopping trees would send people into a simp coma

At the end of the year, he writes each student a short note in Russian telling them something worthwhile.

Sunwoo is an amazing sprinter and also amazing at darts.  Loves adding photos to the corkboard she has in her dorm

She isn’t really sure what she wants to study at the moment or even if she wanted to go to college.  Gotta love families pressuring college on their kids right?

It isn’t as depressing though, she shows real talent and enjoyment in studying Business but surprisingly is leaning towards learning Journalism as well

She writes stuff for the school paper, a blog, and even has a (somewhat inspired by people around her) science fiction story.  She hasn’t thought of a name yet.

It’s about secret agents that fight against an alternate dimension that tries to steal a powerful crystal from them.  It’s quite popular with the people who she let read it and people are constantly asking for updates

Sunwoo is trying, and hopefully she’ll manage to find somewhere she can feel comfortable

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kayra is studying botany, and started a garden in one of the common areas.  At first it was small but cute, then after a few weeks the flowers and bushes spread outside of the garden and overtook the common area.

It's now her favorite place to get away from people because trellises were added in and nobody can see through the vines.  There’s a chance she keeps patio furniture in the garden too

Has been living in an apartment with Hazal.  Tala has been the only one in there and says its overrun with houseplants and hanging lamps.

I'm from the USA and took a lot of Indian history courses at my university. You might already know this or have guessed it, but a lot of what we learned was taught from a leftist--and at times explicitly Marxist--perspective. This was even stronger in other (but thankfully not all!) social studies departments where there were classes focusing solely on various social ills of Hinduism with regard to caste and issues of feminism, yet almost nothing negative could be said if it might be critical of Islam or Muslim figures, (Mahmud of Ghazni being a notable exception for one of my professors.) There was a whole class on British colonialism; no details were spared. Horrible famines in the Deccan, Odisha, Bengal. The decimation of the textile industry. Banning bharatanatyam. The salt tax. Accounts of how a British man kicked one of his servants to death, and another of how the poor and sick congregated outside the gates of a hospital in the south that at the time would only help Europeans. Jallianwala Bagh. But Aurangzeb? Completely whitewashed. You would think Sikhs carry a kirpan for no reason. It was only through reading additional books and documents for my essays and projects that I learned about how he tore down temples, smashed murtis (and stole valuable ones,) levied a double tax on non-Muslims, etc. I remember reading an account of a traveler going through the south at the time of the Deccan wars, remarking on how you could find entire villages empty and deserted fields full of unharvested crops because the people had fled advancing armies. In one region his forces simply killed some Telugu-speaking Brahmins serving the local king rather than force them to convert, and in another his forces captured a royal scribe, forced him to convert to Islam, and forcibly circumcized him before the man killed himself. Obviously the history of all things under the umbrella of Hinduism or any other system is not perfect, but there was a huge difference in how critical you could be of Hinduism (and even western traditions/ideas) compared to Islam.

Sometimes I daydream about what it would have been like to study Sangam literature in India or to experience Andal without needing an English translation, or going to translate old Sanskrit copies of the Mahabharata whose telling is unique to a certain village or something. But ultimately I'm glad I chose to be a research scientist instead and have a career in that, because I don't think I would have been able to succeed in academia unless I were a leftist. :\ Honestly I feel like even going to hang out with ISKCON for a few days would be a better introduction to Hinduism for the average person abroad with zero knowledge than a class called "Intersections of Gender and Caste in Hinduism" or something.

Very telling how Hinduism, and even Christianity is ripped apart in academia, yet when it comes to Islam, it is a religion of "tolerance, and beauty that respects women."

Honestly, though, it's because of how severely they react when their religion is criticized or even inspected. Apostates are given death, women who do not obey are given death, anyone who utters a word against their precious prophets is given, you guessed it! Death.

No religion is perfect, humans can be horrific creatures, and even Hinduism cannot escape that. But Islam has committed far more war crimes than any other religion.

It absolutely boils my blood to see traces of colonizers in our cities. One side of my family hails from Aurangabad, named aftre Aurangzeb, and you already know the atrocities he committed.

It's so fucking insidious to see how the youth have been told what to think. My own friend claimed to me, verbatim: "You cannot be neutral in the Israel-Palestine war. Either you support Palestine, or you support genocide."

Support Hamas? Support terrorism? The same terrorism that affects us? Has everyone forgotten 26/11?

It makes me so sad to think of the future we could have had. Sanskrit would be the most spoken language, instead of English. Gurukuls would exist, and India would still have all of its wealth.

You're right, even ISKCON is better than the propaganda they feed people about our religion.

just kidding~ my review of premalu and rom-coms under the male gaze

It's crazy that my last post on this blog was back in April. For someone who talks incessantly about this blog, it's unfortunate how little I post sometimes. Nevertheless, I have a good amount of free time this week and I decided to hit it off by watching Premalu over the weekend. I know Premalu is not a k-drama, but I've always hoped for this platform for to be a space for me to freely discuss all art that I consume. For those who are unfamiliar with Indian cinema, Premalu is a 2024 Malayalam film directed by Giresh AD and starring Naslen K.Gafoor, Mamitha Baiju, Shyam Mohan, and Sangeeth Prathap. Upon it's release, Premalu became the fourth highest grossing Malayalam movie and grossed nearly 16 million USD against a 356,602 USD budget.

I haven't watched much of Giresh AD's works, but based on a quick glimpse of his filmography, he directs movies for Gen Z with many of his narratives focusing on young love, college, and coming of age. The main character of Premalu, Sachin Santhosh, is a 20 something year old college graduate with loser tendencies. He's failed miserably at his love life with none of his crushes coming to fruition and his ambition to study abroad in the UK comes to a screeching halt when his visa gets rejected to lack of available funds. Aimless and sick of carrying out odd errands for his family's bakery, Sachin takes an offer from his friend, Amal Davis, to move to Hyderabad and prepare for the GATE exam (India's GRE).

Being a complete foil to Sachin is Reenu Roy, the female lead. Just a year older than Sachin, Reenu is a young and vibrant IT professional, who moves to Hyderabad, to start her first job at the banking company, Ospyn. While Amal and Sachin struggle to get by in their cramped single bedroom with a single cot and waste their nights away drinking cheap liquor, Reenu is living through the corporate high of company-sponsored parties at nightclubs and retail therapy with her two roommates. Reenu and Sachin's lives intersect at a friend's wedding, where Sachin not only falls in love with Reenu at first sight, but also manages to earn the chagrin of Aadhi, Reenu's high-strung obnoxious team lead, who harbors a one-sided crush on Reenu.

Movies like Premalu make me wonder if love, at first sight, is a real phenomenon or an excuse that storytellers utilize to avoid providing context. In Premalu, it's never clear what propels Sachin to go head over heels crazy for Reenu and it's difficult to digest that it's Reenu's beauty alone that motivates Sachin to go to the lengths that he does to gain Reenu's friendship and trust before he confesses her love for her. Throughout the movie, we see glimpses of the character's personality. Sachin is a professional loser- socially awkward but sincere and unintentionally funny. Reenu is bold, witty, and beautiful. However, what draws Reenu to Sachin and Sachin to Reenu is never quite established. Part of the problem is how the plot reduces Reenu to an object of desire and elevates the tug of war between Aadhi and Sachin as the main driving force of the plot. Funnily enough, it is Reenu, herself, that manages to defeat Aadhi by spraying him with pepper spray, which was a welcome departure from the guy saving girl stereotype.

Premalu works because of its comedy and depiction of male friendships. But, like many of its predecessors, it falls into the trap of showing love as a commodity meant to be earned rather than received. Also, as a side note, maybe I am reading into a story that isn't meant to be more than what it delivers, but I wonder if Sachin loves Reenu not for who she is, but what she represents - the success, stability, and emotional warmth that he desperately yearns for.

How to Prepare for the FMGE/NExT Exam After Studying MBBS Abroad

The choice to study MBBS abroad, especially in countries like Russia, is unique and enriching. However, after completing medical education, the FMGE or NExT has to be cleared to practice in India, which forms a big challenge for MBBS students from all abroad. The journey through FMGE or NExT becomes quite intimidating and complicated for MBBS graduates from any foreign university. Prepare to take the FMGE/NExT Exam after MBBS abroad study as follows.

Understanding the FMGE/NExT Exam

The FMGE is the examination conducted by foreign medical graduates for practicing in India. It is conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE). Basically, this exam tests the knowledge and clinical skills of candidates who have completed their MBBS degree from outside India.

The NExT exam, on the other hand, is going to replace the FMGE and will be the gateway for MBBS students across India, including those who graduate from foreign medical schools. The NExT exam will be a two-part examination system: one for theoretical knowledge (NExT-1) and one for practical and clinical skills (NExT-2).

MBBS students who have completed their education abroad require passing the FMGE/NExT to get a medical license in India.

Step 1: Understand the Syllabus and Exam Pattern

The first step in your preparation is to understand the syllabus and exam pattern. The FMGE syllabus covers subjects from all the major medical disciplines, including:

Anatomy

Physiology

Biochemistry

Pathology

Microbiology

Pharmacology

Forensic Medicine

Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and more.

The NExT exam would have a comparable syllabus, but it will be more elaborative and practical. It's essential to thoroughly study each topic because these tests not only focus on theoretical concepts but also put your ability into practice in practical medical scenarios.

Step 2: Plan your study schedule Structure your study time into manageable slots. Focus on subjects like Medicine, Surgery, and Pediatrics, as these areas carry higher weight. Use multiple resources such as textbooks, online lectures, question banks, and mock tests to reinforce your knowledge.

Step 3: Use Question Banks and Practice Papers

Continuous practice is one of the best ways to prepare for any medical exam. Make use of FMGE question banks and previous years' papers to understand the kind of questions that are asked. These papers not only help you get familiar with the exam format but also give you an idea of frequently asked topics.

The relevant focus for NExT would be on clinical questions and case scenarios, which are going to comprise a significant portion of the practical assessment. Preparing clinical vignettes, MCQs, and problem solving is key to doing well in the NExT exam.

Step 4: Strengthen Clinical Skills

Since FMGE and NExT are basically very clinical courses, one would require sharpening their practical knowledge. Clinical rotation or observing hospitals can be conducted. Discussing clinical cases among friends or consulting senior doctors shall enhance the skill of clinical reasoning and confidence level.

Step 5: Take Online Courses or Coaching

For students who have studied MBBS abroad, online coaching for FMGE/NExT is a very good way of keeping track with your preparation. Many coaching centers provide specialized FMGE crash courses to help the foreign medical graduate pass the exam easily.

Moreover, coaching will offer mock exams, personalized guidance, and can keep you motivated during your preparation.

Step 6: Staying Updated on Medical Knowledge

The medical field is always developing, and you must ensure your knowledge is updated. Stay current with recent advances in medical science, new diagnostic tools, and treatment methods by reading medical journals, attending webinars, and participating in conferences. This will not only make you better prepared but will benefit you in the long run too in your medical career.

Step 7: Manage Stress and Time

It is very stressful to prepare for FMGE/NExT, so it is necessary to keep one's mental and physical well-being intact. Include regular exercise, adequate sleep, and breaks to keep your mind fresh.

Final Thoughts

Passing the FMGE or NExT exam is one of the final steps after MBBS abroad, especially MBBS in Russia. With proper knowledge of the syllabus, following a proper study plan, practicing clinical skills, and updating oneself with the latest medical knowledge, one can be adequately prepared for these exams.

Be dedicated, plan your time, and take the exam with confidence. Consistent preparation will get you well set for a medical career in India.

Good luck!

Hi! I hope you are doing well 💫

My intials: B.P. (she/her)

DOB: 15 March 2003

3:20 Pm IST, Gurgaon, Haryana, India

I would like to know about my career.

Thank you so much 🫶

Hi🤗 For your reading I am going to use vedic astrology.

WRITING CAREER + PROFESSIONAL LIFE

For the first question if writing is a good career options for you, YES.

I found this tecnique where 10th house sign from the 1st lord in D1 or D9 chart indicates someone's career, in your case falls in aries in D1 chart and gemini in D9 chart.

Career Fields:

D1 Aries so anything related to leadership, sports and fitness/athletics, politics, boss, entrepreneur, healthcare, adventure, engineering, sales, marketing, firefighter, military, law enforcement, research and development, creative arts, etc

D9 Gemini so anything related to education, technology, public relations, communication, media, public speaker, marketing, advertising, travel and tourism, arts, creativity, writer, research, entrepreneur, admnistration, entrepreneur, journalism, consulting, etc.

Furthermore in D1 chart you have 10th lord mars in sagittarius mula in 6th house indicating that your career can be connected to writing and publishing due to mula sagittarius (education/teaching/research/law/philosophy/healing/others); can involve service, routine, organization, discipline and solving conflicts/helping others (6th house), perhaps you heal your readers with your writing, your books can inspire other people, transform their lives (mula); you might experience a lot of obstacles and competition in your career with other writers or issues with your editor for example ( mars 6th house) and go through intense transformative periods (mula) though don't worry you are very determined and hardworking, you will be able to overcome these obstacles and grow even stronger.

If we want to see about financial gains and stability we would need to look at your 2nd lord in D1 you have sun in pisces in 9th house this indicates that you might earn more money in a foreign land (working abroad or with foreigners) or higher education is really important like studying creative writing or liberal arts or philosophy in college can help you succeed and gain recognition in your writing career (pisces is connected to creativity). Since it's aspecting your mars  10th lord it's important that your career allows you to shine individually and work as a leader (you might have issues with your boss/authority figures/teacher so working independently or leading a team is a better option). You must also be careful with high expectations vs reality and idealism vs practicality, how to work creatively in a disciplined way, etc.

Additionally 2nd lord sun is aspecting scorpio ketu in 5th house by 9th aspect indicating possible obstacles related to creativity, hobbies, education, might make you detached from past beliefs related to these themes focusing  on new, inovative or unconventional ways to earn money through learning or higher education for example; you will notice that you earn more money after a transformative (spiritual/intense) period in your life.

2nd lord sun is actually aspecting 6th lord cancer jupiter in 1st house by 5th house which confirms financial growth through service oriented careers, healing, higher education, travelling and expanding the way you see the world (beliefs/philosophies/spirituality), etc.

Since 6th lord jupiter is in cancer conjunct moon, it's essential that your work environment allows you freedom (flexible hours for example), to express yourself, your emotions/feelings; a comfortable/nurturing, positive, open environment (family or mother/female figure could be relevant -> support you) can make you grow; tapping into your emotions (intuition/creativity) to write your books; future spouse could also be working with you or helping you (jupiter is significator of spouse); etc.

Jupiter is aspecting your capricorn venus in 7th house by 7th aspect indicating that your future spouse and relationships/partnerships have a strong influence on your emotional stability at work; you might have a business with them or contract relationships; they might contribute to your sucess; harmony and balance between career and relationships is key👌

Not just that jupiter is aspecting your aquarius mercury(3rd lord ->skills) in 8th house indicating that you might write about deep/unconventional/futuristic/fantasy/occult topics, influencing other people ->healing them; experience transformation in your environment; working with investors,  sharing resources with your spouse or business partners; work in secret maybe you could be an anonymous author; etc.

Lastly jupiter is aspecting taurus saturn + rahu in 11th house by 11th aspect that shows teamwork, working online, media, social connections, professional networking (large companies), innovation are relevant. With saturn energy this can cause delays/obstacles in making connections, with your coworkers, gaining financial stability and fame/success, etc. (you might have to put a lot of effort and be patient; after you saturn return you will see that all your hardwork paid off��)

The rahu energy can cause chaos, confusion, fluctuations related to your financial gains, professional networks and work environment.

In D10 chart you have gemini 10th house another huge confirmation that your career is related to communication, writing, knowledge,etc.

10th lord mercury is in chitra libra in 2nd house conjunct chitra ketu and swati saturn(6th lord) meaning that you will earn money through creative, innovative, online, media, unconventional, independent, flexible, service oriented (routine), healing, disciplined/practical career fields during a transformative period in your life. It's confirming everything I've said above. Money and sucess in your career can be achieved later in life.

Moreover 10th lord is aspecting 2nd lord aries aswhini venus conjunct Mars and rahu in 8th house by 7th aspect reaffirming transformation, healing, spirituality themes and that money and sucess might come after a transformative period or attaining personal growth.

JOB TIMING

Regarding when you will get a job:

D1 CHART

In D1 chart you have taurus jupiter transiting your 11th house saturn (6th lord) and rahu so there is already a good sign for this year till may 2025 (jupiter brings abundance and luck in professional networking, large companies, fame, etc).

Rahu/ketu pisces/virgo transit is affecting your 2nd lord sun in pisces 9th house bringing you new unconventional ways of earning money, maybe you will travel, work with foreigners, study creative arts; you might also be more recognized/confident in your work environment. ( Be careful with overindulgence, ego, chaos, high expectations vs practicality, illusion vs reality).

NOTE1: Sun is your Darakaraka só you might be meeting your future spouse this year👀👀👀 or if you are already in a relationship 💍.

Aquarius saturn transit is influencing your mercury in 8th house, so you might have been experiencing some challenges/delays perhaps writing blocks, lack of inspiration, issues with your business partners or investors, anxiety/depression, fears of expressing yourself, transformative period, etc.

D7 CHART

In D7 chart you have aquarius saturn transit in your 10th house with mars this can indicate challenges/delays in your career, power struggles with authority figures, business partners, achieving your goals, etc ( Be patient and don't give up🙏)

Taurus jupiter transit is influencing your 10th lord saturn with moon in 1st house so this actually eases the saturn transit in 10th house bringing optimism, abundance and success in your career. So even though you might have delays/obstacles you will be able to overcome it with motivation, positivity, wisdom, discipline and emotional support (perhaps your family/mother figure can help you).

Rahu/ketu pisces/virgo transit is affecting your 11th/5th house (ketu transit is conjunct virgo sun in 5th house) so you might be rethinking about romantic relationships and friendships, personal goals vs social endeavours, new social networks and aspirations/dreams, individuality vs union/teamwork, engaging in spiritual/unconventional activities/hobbies -> inspiration in your writing, changing yourself (transformation on personal expression), etc.

NOTE2: When jupiter, saturn, rahu/ketu are transiting in the same or opposite sign of sun, saturn, rahu/ketu in D7 chart it indicates a major event might happen during this time of your life like meeting your future spouse or a partner, engagement, pregnancy, career,success,fame, breakup, divorce, moving out, etc.(This technique is by Camila Regina from tiktok).  

DASHAS/TIME PERIODS/TRANSITS

You are currently running venus-venus-mars dasha (10th lord mars in D1 chart) till 4 september this year. I am leaning towards pisces eclipse in september (affecting your 2nd lord sun in 9th house that is aspecting your 10th lord) you might get a job offer abroad or work with foreigners (foreign company), etc.

Next year 2025 you also have good chances since rahu will be in aquarius after 19 may transiting your mercury in 8th house D1 chart (you will express yourself more, be inspired, etc),  your 10th house in D7 chart bringing opportunities and sucess in your career, your 6th house in D10 chart changing your work environment, daily routine, health, etc; jupiter will be transiting in gemini in may aspecting your 10th lord sagittarius mars in D1 bringing growth and opportunities related to communication/writing fields and affecting your 10th house in D10 chart bringing abundance in your career;  in october you will have your jupiter return in cancer affecting your 6th lord in D1 chart, 11th house (jupiter) in your D10 chart (fame/recognition/luck), among other factors; etc.

If we want to be more specific/accurate there is a technique I am trying out by KRS Kapiel that when the saturn is trine/conjunct transiting your natal moon/saturn you might get a job. You have natal (D1 chart) taurus saturn and cancer moon. So when moon is transiting virgo, taurus and capricorn or saturn transiting in scorpio, cancer, pisces, virgo, capricorn and taurus.

Moon is transiting capricorn 17 august till 19 august (full moon👀 and moon will aspecting your cancer jupiter 6th lord and 7th house venus  -> work/health/contract/love/relationships/business).

Saturn is a slower planet so the next transit will be in pisces next year 2025 in 20 march.

You can check this link to see the moon + saturn transits: https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/calculate-sidereal-vedic-ephemeris-august-2024/?&aya=lahiri&&presnost=1&

NOTE3: If you notice your sagittarius mars 10th lord and your 2nd lord pisces are both ruled by jupiter (sign ruled) which is in cancer -> cancer/capricorn transits are fundamental.🫰

NOTE4: Accordingly to D1/D7/D10 charts (this technique is from Camila Regina tiktok) you might have sucess or fame when saturn, rahu/ketu are transiting the signs of aries/libra/taurus/scorpio.

you study abroad right? how has that been? i want to but im worried its going to be too hard to adjust to plus school

i do!! i’ll give pros n cons though they might be specific

pros:

- i’m confident that i’m getting some of the best education i could be, which even though i’m from new york where there r many college options i still feel that it would’ve been settling to stay at home. to me it’s worth being there for the school

- i do like having the opportunity to immerse myself in another language as someone interested in linguistics!

- for italy specifically, food, art, architecture, pre-capitalist city planning which i feel is more….human-centric?

- since my school is in english, i have meet ppl from allll around the world. my class was originally 16 ppl and we were from 10 different countries across 5 continents. of the friends i’ve made there, one is chinese from hungary, one is from portugal, one is from india, one is from zimbabwe, and two are other usamericans.

- the cost isn’t great since it’s a private school, but i’m still paying less than i could have been in the US, n godwilling i will not graduate w student debt

- europe has trains so i can go places so easily

- night-out bar and club culture that i wouldn’t have access to yet in the US w/out a fake, but which i feel is crucial to the college experience lol. will treasure memories dancing to live music at the cuban bar, drinking spritzes on the river, bringing bottles of prosecco to house parties

cons:

- paperwork is so annoying ESPECIALLY because italian bureaucracy is ill-managed. BUT americans have such a passport privelege, my old roommate from iran couldnt come to school for months bc of her visa

- apts are still expensive i general, especially in places like florence w a high tourist appeal bc they are also airbnb infected, which has totally jacked up rent rates. right now i’m blessedly paying what i would definitely call reduced rent because a rich friend of a friend of a friend had an old apartment that she’s renting to me for far less than market price. but without knowing people from the area already apt hunting is hell.

- it’s not entirely a con, but def a learning curve around communication, because european profs are often excitable or brusque or sometimes even cruel in my experience in a way that wouldn’t fly so much in american colleges (though part of that is the fashion element imo.) it was hard for many americans to adapt to this sort of criticism

- i am definitely more conscious of my blackness in italy, ppl are more ignorant about black people (though imo not actually more hateful.) but ppl are also so amazed by my hair which is nice sometimes lol…..american whites will like never compliment black hair cos theyre scared. but yeah white ppl in europe dont have much of a faux pas developed against certain racism yet

- i do miss my family when i’m there— though now i miss my friends when i’m not there! and the time zone diff >_<

- it is very easy to be lonely, esp. at first. at fashion school i’m not really around “my type” of people, which means i feel really isolated even around the other americans. they just don’t know how to make heads or tails of me i suppose. but then, if i really think of it, that might just be a con of being weird in general. my usual odds of finding someone i really gel with are about 1/500, so that puny statistic decreases even further when most ppl around me don’t speak english as a first language.

Benefits of Studying at the Best International School in Chennai

Today’s parents want schools that help children grow in knowledge, confidence and practical skills. They want a place where their children can think clearly, speak confidently and grow in more ways than one. This is one reason why international schools in Chennai have become a top choice for many families. 

Here are some key benefits of studying at a top international school and why more parents are making this choice.

A Broader Way of Learning

International schools usually follow global syllabuses like the Cambridge IGCSE or the International Baccalaureate (IB). These are different from traditional methods because they focus more on understanding than memorising.

Students learn how to ask questions, analyse ideas and apply what they study. Instead of just giving the right answers they learn how to explain their thinking. This approach helps students handle any subject with confidence.

Strong Language and Communication Skills

In an international school, students use English across all subjects which builds fluency over time. Since the classrooms also encourage open discussions students learn how to speak clearly and express ideas well.

These skills come in handy later in life whether it’s for job interviews, presentations or just daily communication. The ability to speak and write well is something that benefits every student, no matter their path.

Room for Creativity and Curiosity

Students are not judged only by marks. They are encouraged to explore their strengths and try new things. Whether it’s science, music, writing or drama, international schools give students chances to discover their interests.

Activities are part of the regular schedule not just afterthoughts. This allows children to grow in both academics and their personal interests without pressure.

Personal Attention and Smaller Classrooms

Many international schools limit the number of students in each class. This makes it easier for teachers to focus on individual needs. If a child is struggling with a topic it’s noticed early. If they’re doing well they’re encouraged to keep going.

This balance helps each child move at their own pace. It also creates a more relaxed environment where students feel free to ask questions and participate in lessons.

Preparation for Global Opportunities

Students who study in an international school are often better prepared for colleges and universities abroad. They’re familiar with project-based learning, group work and clear writing all of which are expected in higher education around the world.

Even if the student chooses to study in India this exposure builds strong academic habits and confidence in competitive settings.

A Focus on Real-Life Skills

Apart from academics, international schools teach children how to manage time, work in teams, and make decisions. These life skills are included in daily learning not treated as extras.

Children take part in activities that require planning, organising and speaking in public. These experiences help them become more responsible and independent.

Calm and Safe Learning Environment

The best learning happens in places that feel safe and well-structured. International schools pay attention to how the day is planned, how discipline is handled, and how students are cared for.

Clean classrooms, regular routines, respectful communication and open teacher-student relationships help children stay focused. Parents feel reassured knowing their child is learning in a space that supports both growth and comfort.

Clear Communication with Parents

At a good international school, parents are kept informed through regular updates, meetings and progress reports. Teachers are open to questions and keep track of both academic and personal growth.

This regular connection helps parents stay involved without interfering. It also creates trust between the school and the family.

Exposure to Different Cultures and Ideas

International schools bring students from various backgrounds together. This gives children a chance to learn about different cultures, traditions and ways of thinking. They develop respect for others and learn how to work with different kinds of people.

Such exposure helps students become more open-minded, which is an important skill in today’s global world.

A Strong Start for the Future

With the right mix of academics, creativity, and support, students leave international schools with more than just knowledge. They��re ready to think independently, adapt to new situations and handle responsibilities.

This kind of preparation helps them in college, at work and in everyday life.

Choosing a school is a big decision, and it’s not just about books and marks. It’s about the kind of person your child becomes during those important school years.

The Velammal International School in Chennai offers a learning space where students are guided clearly, challenged thoughtfully and supported every day. If you’re looking for a place that helps your child grow in practical and meaningful ways, this could be the right choice.

Indian Embassy Attestation in Oman – A Trusted Path to Legal Recognition Abroad

For many Indians living or planning to move to Oman, dealing with document formalities can often feel overwhelming. Whether you’re going there for work, study, family purposes, or long-term residency, your documents need to pass through a series of verifications. A crucial step in this process is the Indian Embassy Attestation in Oman — a mandatory requirement that validates your documents for official use.

If you’ve heard of it but aren't sure how it works, or you're wondering why it’s necessary, this blog is here to guide you every step of the way.

What is Indian Embassy Attestation in Oman?

In the simplest terms, Indian Embassy Attestation refers to the process where the Indian Embassy in Oman authenticates your personal, educational, or commercial documents. It confirms that your documents are legitimate, have been verified by Indian authorities, and are now accepted by the Omani government or institutions.

This process is especially important for:

Employment in Oman

Admission to Omani educational institutions

Business or commercial agreements

Family visa or dependent visa applications

Sponsorship or long-term stay requests

Why is Oman Certificate Attestation Required?

Imagine applying for a job in Muscat, but your degree certificate is not recognized because it lacks proper validation. That’s exactly why Oman Certificate Attestation is so crucial. It proves that the documents you are presenting are legal, authentic, and verified by relevant Indian and Omani authorities.

Without proper attestation, your application might be delayed or even rejected.

Understanding the Oman Embassy Attestation Process

The Oman Embassy Certificate Attestation Procedure is multi-layered and requires multiple authorities to sign off on your document before it reaches the embassy level.

Here’s how the full attestation cycle usually works:

For Educational Documents:

University Verification – Your degree must first be verified by the issuing university.

HRD Attestation – The Human Resource Department of the respective Indian state must attest the document.

MEA Attestation – The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in India validates the certificate.

Oman Embassy Attestation in India – Finally, the Omani Embassy in India attests the document.

Indian Embassy Attestation in Oman (if required post-arrival) – In certain cases, local authorities may also request attestation from the Indian Embassy in Oman.

For Personal Documents (like birth, marriage certificates):

State Home Department Attestation

MEA Attestation

Oman Embassy Attestation

For Commercial Documents:

Chamber of Commerce Attestation

MEA Attestation

Embassy Attestation

Required Documents for Attestation

To get your documents attested for Oman, here’s what you’ll generally need:

Original documents (degree, birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.)

Passport copies

Visa copies (if applicable)

Passport-size photographs

Authorization letter (if applying through an attestation agency)

Remember: The Oman embassy attestation in India is strict about documentation, and any errors or omissions can lead to delays.

Why the Process Can Be Challenging

Let’s face it: the attestation process can be confusing and time-consuming. You might face:

Long queues and delays at government offices

Missing clarity on the exact steps

Rejection due to wrong formats

Delays in university or home department verifications

Uncertainty on where to go next

If you’re already in Oman or need urgent processing, the stress can be even worse.
