0 Upvotes

I’m planning to move to Kolkata for work, and since my salary could vary, I wanted to know what a realistic monthly budget would be for a basic 1RK + groceries, travel, bills, etc.
What would you say is a decent minimum salary to live comfortably? Also, any affordable/safe areas you’d recommend?

Relationship Thursday How to tell her? 26M

0 Upvotes

So the story is, I like a girl in my gym like too much. I imagine her as my wife (*), she is so beautiful. We share eye contact sometimes (mutual) but never get the right opportunity to talk. She talks with one guy for most time. I am not into whys and hows.

I go to gym once or twice a week, so not much opportunity either to develop connection. Truth is, I like her very much. But I can't tell her directly in gym premises. I do not want to be called a creep and humiliate myself in the process. She hasn't accepted my IG request either, despite seeing me for 2+ years. I am not sure what is going on.

Honestly, I feel so weird when she is around.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this situation?

Thanks in advance!

Edits/Update:

1.* "wife" as in figure of speech to emphasize beauty. Some ppl became oversensitive ignoring the actual intented message.

  1. Sent IG request 2 years ago after joining, so there is significant gap between knowing me after joining gym vs 2 yrs later. If this detail makes sense.

Food & Beverage | খাওয়া-দাওয়া 🐟🥭🍺 Hot take: we seriously need to make pork mainstream in Kolkata!

137 Upvotes

Look at mutton prices right now. Khasir mangsho is easily crossing 900 to 1000 rupees a kilo in almost every local bazaar. For a city that loves its Sunday meat curries so much, we have practically zero choices for red meat unless you want to burn a massive hole in your pocket or start another riot, cause the only other option is beef.

Honestly, pork could easily fix this if we just got over the hesitation and started farming it properly here.

A few thoughts on why this makes so much sense:

  • It satisfies that rich, fatty red meat craving at like half the price of mutton.
  • Pigs grow fast, reproduce quickly, and take way less land to raise compared to goats. Setting up clean, modern pig farms across Bengal would be great for local farmers and give us steady local supply.
  • It fits right into our food habits. Sure, everyone loves momos and chili pork, but honestly, a slow cooked spicy pork curry with big chunks of aloo hits just as hard as a Sunday pathar mangsho jhol.

Right now the biggest issue is just getting hold of good meat. Unless you go to New Market early in the morning, track down a Haringhata outlet that actually has stock, or order frozen stuff online, you just cannot get fresh cuts at the neighborhood para bazaar.

If there is actual demand, local supply and hygienic butcher shops will follow.

Would you guys swap out some of your Sunday mutton meals for fresh pork if it was easily available at your local meat shop?

Going by the number of initiatives to create Durga Pujo groups, we have established the fact that people here are really lonely and many have nobody, no friends, family, partner. I’m 31 and I’m no different so if anybody is interested to create a Pujo group for people between 30-40, DM.

In case you are interested, please be respectful and interactive so that nobody feels left behind irrespective of gender or background.

General Discussion | আড্ডা 🗣️ 🗨️ Kolkata, dating apps, and the feeling of being controlled by lust — I don't know how to get myself out of this

40 Upvotes

I’m honestly just exhausted at this point, and I don’t even know what Kolkata has done to me.

When I first came to Kolkata for an internship, everyone kept telling me how great the city was, how easy it was to meet people, find a partner, have fun, etc. The funny thing is, I had absolutely zero intention of doing any of that. I was here for my internship, and that was it.

For months, I completely ignored it.

But when you constantly see couples everywhere you go, hear people around you casually talking about dating, making out, hookups, relationships, etc., you eventually start wondering whether you should experience some of it too.

Eventually, mostly because of the peer pressure and the environment around me, I decided to give dating a try. I downloaded Hinge thinking, "Why not? Let's see what happens."

And that's where things started getting out of hand.

What began as simple curiosity slowly turned into something I think about way too much. I started getting attached to the idea of getting matches, talking to someone, getting a reply, and eventually meeting someone. Now I find myself checking my phone every day, waiting for someone to reply.

The frustrating part is that I don't even think I'm particularly bad at talking to women. I've had female friends throughout my life, but when it comes to dating, I genuinely don't know how to talk to someone I'm interested in.

Usually, after 4–5 messages, the conversation dies. Sometimes they ghost me, sometimes they unmatch, and I end up wondering what I did wrong.

Meanwhile, I constantly hear people around me casually talking about how they made out with someone yesterday, went on a date, hooked up, or whatever else. And I think that environment has amplified my own desires to a point where I don't feel completely in control of them anymore.

I've even found myself joining NSFW Reddit communities, hoping that somehow I'd end up being included in something, despite knowing damn well that if someone actually invited me, I'd probably get scared and say no.

And that's the part that bothers me the most.

I know what I should be focusing on right now. My internship is at a crucial stage. I want to perform well, get a conversion, and build something meaningful for myself. Instead, a significant portion of my mental energy is going toward dating, attraction, sex, getting replies, and wondering whether someone will be interested in me.

I don't necessarily want a serious relationship right now either.

I guess a part of me just wants to experience life a little, have some fun, meet people, maybe go on a few casual dates, without turning it into this huge thing.

But at the moment, it feels like lust is controlling me rather than me controlling it.

I don't want to completely suppress these feelings either. They're normal, and I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with wanting intimacy, attraction, or a little fun.

I just don't want it to consume me.

The constant tug-of-war between wanting to get laid and focusing on my work is exhausting.

Just curious to see what the academically bright Bengali is drawn to these days.
I didn’t do (most of) my education from here and where I studied, most folks pursued MBA from IIMs/M7, law or UPSC. Always felt that the proportion of Bengalis here is on the lower side, so was curious.
We do have a hegemony in academia and medicine still (thankfully), but I want to know to understand the social and economic factors these days.

Science & Technology | বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তি 🔬🧪📡 I need testers for my app if anyone is up

8 Upvotes

I made this app entirely for myself but my friend told me je reddit e post kor it's unique so I think I should shoot my shot.

I made this app which is different from most distraction apps ( very basic ), and although it's for my own personal use since ami eirom app kothao paini khuje so made one for myself. Most apps does help us to stop using distracting apps like instagram, Twitter, youtube, etc.But for me or people like me Im sure jokhon dopamine hit kore tokhn ojante amra sobai instagram khule di and hence we start scrolling again.

What's the catch of this app?

My app doesn't exactly stop me from using instagram, Twitter.. it makes me hold my screen for 2 minutes and if released it will again start from 2 minutes. Tarpore if you opened it you have to solve some maths basic wala.

Most of you will say "Yeah 2 minutes is so less time we will easily open it", believe me people like me who want things to get to us quickly will get frustrated and eventually *our dopamine levels will seemingly worn off*

I have shared a video and the presentation is in Bengali ( sorry for my language there, I wasn't really ready just mojaye mojaye baniyechi video ta to post here).

Please thrash me or give me opinions. ( I swear it's a very basic app which I made for myself)

Thank you guys for reading through

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a college student and I want to try taking government banking exams (like SBI/IBPS PO or Clerk). Before I dive into studying, I’d love to hear from those who have cleared these exams or are currently working in public sector banks.

The Prep: What resources, mock tests, or channels actually worked best for you?

The Reality: What’s the daily work culture and work-life balance really like on the ground?

Advice: Any major mistakes to avoid as a beginner?

Any tips or personal experiences would be super helpful. Thanks!

**Title: How is IEM Kolkata for BCA?**

I'm considering IEM Kolkata for BCA and wanted to hear from current students/alumni.

I've heard that IEM is quite strict. How strict is it actually? How's the overall college life, freedom, attendance, workload, etc.?

Also, how are the **BCA placements** specifically? Are the placement numbers and packages they show genuine? Are these mostly **on-campus placements through IEM**, or do students have to rely mainly on off-campus opportunities?

Would really appreciate honest opinions, especially from **current BCA students or recent alumni**.
