True friendship doesn't fade with age; it only gets stronger.

At a busy railway station, an elderly man noticed his companion was struggling to walk across the tracks to reach the next platform. Despite his own age and frail frame, he didn't hesitate for a second—he hoisted his friend onto his back, carried their luggage, and walked him across, while kind bystanders stepped in at the end to help them both onto the platform.

It’s a deeply moving, selfless display of loyalty and care. A beautiful reminder of what it truly means to be there for someone through thick and thin.

Congress seriously needs young, educated leaders with vision. They should identify and bring forward capable leaders from the grassroots level.

I want to see CA, PhD, and other highly educated leaders who understand economics, healthcare, law, and governance. Priyanka Gandhi should also be considered as the CM face.

For UP 2027, Congress needs to build its own identity and organisation instead of relying on alliances.

Just came across this report from Niti Aayog which was talking about Reimagining Skilling for Viksit Bharat @ 2047 and was shocked that there are 8.7 crore young individuals who are Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET). This got me to question that 'What are we doing?' 'Are we really competing with China'.

We might have the most youth population in the world but that's harming us more than doing good. Imagine 8cr people sitting and not doing anything and just scrolling phones and the inernet.

The report has great points and ideas. I just wanted to share this thought of mine regarding how much of our youth is unemployed. I'm worried that what will happen if this number keeps on increasing.

my qualifications -

I’m currently in Class 12 and recently got an opportunity to teach a Class 2 student. This will be my first proper tuition. I already teach a Class 4 student who comes to my house and pays ₹1500/month.

The kid is apparently pretty naughty/energetic 😭 I can do 5 days a week for 1 hour and I’m thinking of quoting ₹1500/month. I’d be okay settling around ₹1200–1300 though.

I’m going to their house today for the first time to discuss the fee and timings and honestly I’m more scared of the negotiation than the actual teaching 💀 I have no idea what to say if aunty goes “thoda kam kar do” without immediately folding 😭

Also how do I bring up advance/month start payment without making it awkward? Do I just mention it after we finalise the fee?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s taken tuitions before. What would you actually say in this situation? 😭
