We Indians(NRIs in particular) are pretentious ah, aren't we?

I am from a small village in TN. But mostly studied outside. By the time I finished 12th I have been to most major cities in India. I still remember the day when I moved to Chennai for college and this velachery mf fking instructed me how to go on a escalator and said "you must have not seen this in your whole life" in an extremely rude and condescending way.

When I moved abroad, same thing happened.
This mf told "this is called real metro bro not the ones like in India". Mf are you serious? When did u last go to any city in India?. Most of all I can't stand people saying India=bad.

Also we Indians don't know what being polite means don't we?. I had few people rant their experiences on me for saying how I was able to do so and so things in gov offices without the official being rude. These are the same mf that I find are extremely rude to others when talking I can only imagine how rude they were to gov officials.

It doesn't hurt to say please or just talking in a polite way to fellow human beings people!. Of course these mis act polite towards non Indians.
Surprise! Talking polite will make other to be polite to?! Pickachu face.

Sorry for the stupid rant. Maybe I am extremely patriotic, I can't or I will not stand people belittling india when you live abroad. You're welcomed to give a constructive criticism but never belittle.

Man atleast have some stands on your views, one day I had this group of people who where discussing how isro is still lagging behind nasa and even spacex is better than isro. and they can't wait to give up their Indian passport and the next day when india landed on moon these mfs. started posting india the best on social media.
Have some dignity mts. Either be Indian or others. Don't be like the above assholes.

Edit: people of course not everyone around me are like this and not everyone I know are like this. I just happened to meet more people recently and mostly of them are like that. The post is tagged rant/vent to vent my anger towards them. Not to get some advice of how I should be.

Why do so many Indian guys who regularly go to gyms have amazing physique except their belly?

I see so many people in my gym doing workouts with crazy weights but so many of them have huge bellys. They all drink protein powder afterwards but I've never seen these fellas doing any kind of cardio or abs exercises.

Do some people just want good muscles, biceps and nothing else? Why wouldn't you put some efforts into losing belly fat since you are already taking the efforts to go to the gym? Or this because of Indian diet? Does someone have any idea?

A question to Rahul Gandhi - Regarding the removal of 50% cap as a voter

I recently harked the news related to RG promise to remove 50% cap, the immediate question was than how the reservation will be arranged, the usual answer on ground i got, was the rearrangement of reservation according to the % in population, this is why caste census is important. This strickled me with another questions, which nobody was able to answer on ground. I came on reddit, discussed nobody replied, only a DM calling me "Brahminical privilege"

The question was:

Right now, General student have to pay higher and score higher, to apply and pass the exam respectively. Which can be justified by saying, as you have highest of all, you should pay more for the expanses that happens to operate these exams.

Three examples;

Application fees

|EXAM|GENERAL|SC|SOURCE|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|IDBI - |1000 RS|200 RS| IDBI Bank|
|PNB -|1180 RS|59 RS| Punjab National Bank |
|SSC -|100 RS|0 RS| SSC Selection Post XII|

NOTE: I am not sharing these numbers to shame others, but to explain, how big the difference can be between the application fees, and I assume we all know about the passing marks criteria system

2nd) Usually, General and OBC fees are same. SC and ST fees are same.

So, i was wondering if reservation is rearranged after removal of cap, then OBC will become highest reserved category. so,

Do still general students have to pay high and score high to apply and pass the exam even with just 27% reservation?

or

Does Genral students will get the benefit to pay less and score less comparatively with OBC to apply and pass the exam?

If i am going to lose my reservation, then i should get some benefit in return or get the same benefit that right now OBC gets, and if i am gonna lose my reservation, pay high and score high. This is a lose, lose, lose situation for us. Than why should i vote for something like this?

I am not denying the discrimination and economical backward situation of other communities especially SC and ST. But if the 2nd situation is the truth for general people, then where does this fits in the concept of social justice which RG talked about? This will just worsen the situation of discrimination, and does OBC people accepts scoring highest to pass the exam?

I don't have the answer, but there can be a middle way too, where complete justice can be served. This whole reservation system needs a modern reform. Which can satisfy every category concern to some extent.

I have asked this question as a new voter, keeping my concerns in mind

(If anyone else is about to comment/DM "Brahminical privilege" than no, I am a vaishya Gangil, and definitely not privilege)
