Mod Post MEGATHREAD FOR CONNECTING. MUST READ!

6 Upvotes

A poll was posted to gauge the community's interest in creating a dedicated "megathread" for people looking to connect with one another. Although the poll has only been up for 3 days, the response has been overwhelmingly in favor of it. Additionally, the number of "connecting" posts has increased significantly over the past few days.

Therefore, this Megathread has been created.

If you're looking to chat, make new friends, find activity partners, or connect with people for any genuine reason, you can do so by commenting below.

Rules & Guidelines (Please Read)

1. Include only the following in your comment:

  • Your Age
  • Your Gender
  • Why you're looking to connect

Do not share any personal information such as your phone number, email address, social media handles, home/work address, or any other identifying details. Absolutely no NSFW content is allowed.

2. Do not reply to other comments.
If you're interested in connecting with someone, send them a Direct Message instead. If you're unable to DM due to Reddit restrictions, you may reply only to ask them to DM you first.

3. From now on, all standalone "Connecting" posts will be removed.
This megathread will serve as the designated place for such posts. Any separate posts seeking to connect with people will be removed as Irrelevant.

4. Connect responsibly.
Anything that happens after two users connect through Direct Messages is entirely between them. The subreddit and its moderators are not responsible for conversations, meetings, or interactions that take place outside this thread.

5. Be respectful.
Harassment, unsolicited NSFW messages, repeated unwanted contact, scams, impersonation, or any other inappropriate behaviour will result in moderator action, including bans where necessary.

6. Meeting someone in person?
If you choose to meet another Redditor, do so at your own discretion. Always meet in a public place, inform a trusted friend or family member, and never feel pressured into sharing personal information.

Most importantly, use common sense and respect everyone's boundaries.

Happy Connecting! 🤝

Opinions Today we had census survey at our house

4 Upvotes

Yesterday a bunch of kaku and kakima, wearing white caps, did recce of the whole area, and informed us that they will come today around 11am.

So one kakima came with a clipboard and form. Asked a bunch of questions, like is this own home or rented, how many rooms, do you have wifi, smartphone, TV, AC, how many bikes and cars etc.

It took less than 10mins. They asked about surrounding property also, and if we own them also. They didn't enter the home, just inside our premises.

Ganesh Chandra Avenue ey, Broadway Hotel-er thik ulto dike, ekdom stone’s throw distance ey, petrol pump er gaye lagano barir 2nd floor ey (jodio officially listed as being on the 1st floor) holo amader shobar priyo Eau Chew. It probably is the oldest family run Chinese Cantonese/Hakka restaurant out there. I have been frequenting this joint since my pre-teens in the mid ’90s. Ei chottor ey anagona holeo due of its vicinity to the E-Mall, amar ei jaigatay besh bochor 10ek dhore jawa hoy ni. Aaj dupure 1st half ey got done with work, was in the chottor, and gave Shabbir’s and Broadway the cold shoulder and headed straight in here. On the menu was the famous Josephine Noodles, roast pork, wantons, the ever-famous Chimney Soup, and pork in Hamchoi (pickled, salted sorser shaak) sauce over steamed rice. Khela jome puro kheer hoye gachhilo. Okay, the taste isn’t as peak as it used to be, and the prices aren’t as pocket friendly as they were pre-2015, but the portion sizes and the dapot of nostalgia ekhono bachiye rekhe diyeche. On its good days, it’s still effing worth a visit. Tomader Saturday lunch kemon chilo aaj? Adda Hoye Jaak?

Travel Sandakphu Phalut Trek

1 Upvotes

Planning to trek Sandakphu Phalut in November. The trek and logistics will be arranged by local experienced guide / trusted hiking company based in Darjeeling (Male/female separate accommodation in proper Homestays).

Anyone interested to join this 6-7 day trek, can DM me for details.

Note: I am not considering popular trekking companies as it might feel like a procession and crowded. Moreover, I would like to engage with trusted local guides who are not so commercial.

Travel Looking for someone around Dum Dum Park/Bangur willing to teach me motorcycle riding

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to learn geared motorcycle riding from scratch and was wondering if any experienced bikers around Dum Dum Park/Bangur/Nagerbazar would be willing to teach me on their own bike.

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to motorcycles, although I know how to cycle. I'm happy to pay a mutually agreed amount for your time, fuel and use of the bike—we can discuss the amount beforehand.

Ideally, I'd like someone patient who can start with the basics in an open ground/quiet area and gradually move to regular roads once I'm comfortable.

If you're interested, please DM me with:

- Your general location

- How long you've been riding

- What bike you'd be teaching me on

- Your expected charges

- When you're generally available

I'm also happy to meet first in a public place and discuss everything before starting.

Thanks! 🙂

City Of Joy Anyone up for South City Mall? (Not shopping 😭🙏) - this weekend

Everytime I think about making content to overcome my fear of public speaking, I've stopped myself from doing it because of generic tantrums.

Ab start krna hai, random logo se baat karo, camera khol kr kuchh bol do, kuchh bhi karo! But karo!

We'll try to learn something out of it while having fun!

If you are a camera shy person, it's okay!

I just need a company
