There are like millions of kids who have not studied shit in the past 2 year and they are basically fked in the coming exams
Puget [#6]can you explain the joke to non indians?
blow up the headquarters of the education board so that examinations will be cancelled
Puget [#6]can you explain the joke to non indians?
yea okay so this year due to covid they divided our syllabus into 2 halves term 1 and 2 so we have out term 1 exams in december and our term 2 in feb-march as you know how huge the syllabus here is , we'll have only a month to study the rest 50% syllabus which is quite tough!
Puget [#6]can you explain the joke to non indians?
he must be in high-school and does not want to give exams... so an accident will postpone or cancel his exams
yaiima0 [#7]What can I do in Kerala that’s fun? They prolly have good food I’d assume.

Man whole India is overcrowded
Puget [#20]do these places look like they do on google images? or is it usually over crowded?
Obviously crowded, though it depends on the day and time of the day
yaiima0 [#19]I’m planning to go on a date with SKrossi 😈
take kappa along with you when you will be coming back to US
I guess obviously you would be arriving delhi first so I would say akshardham temple(during evening), nehru planetorium, mughal garden, Red fort, qutub minar, india gate, rastrapati bhavan, humayun tomb are really good places to visit. If you want to roam around in market chandni chowk would be a great place for that purpose.
yaiima0 [#7]What can I do in Kerala that’s fun? They prolly have good food I’d assume.
You can go to Allepy where you can get a boathouse on the backwaters or something + food is pretty good and different from what you probably get in NA
yaiima0 [#17]Thanks for the recommendations, I definitely plan to visit the Taj Mahal. Any good food places you would recommend?
For food, all you need is zomato or something, maybe try a few famous ones too
ciro [#33]For food, all you need is zomato or something, maybe try a few famous ones too
Zomato is food delivery company
1 Jaipur-Udaipur-Agra-Delhi if u want to see the historical architecture and other beautiful places like mahals etc
2 Kerala -( Munnar one of the most beautiful scene ) also u will feel close to nature
3 If u wanna go on some beach then Goa
4 Himachal Pradesh - snow and mountains
I won't recommend going to cities like Mumbai tho they may seem flashy and lively but tbh they aren't that wonderful compare to the natural and historical places, then again choice is urs.

Indian teams run high on emotions. They'll never risk removing a player no matter how bad they perform because mUh rElAtIOnS
Most Indian teams care more about making brothers and a "family" than actually being a good team. Maybe a reason why we haven't done anything significant in PC eSports till date. Emotions and sports are to be kept apart from each other. If someone is clearly a weak link in the team , bench them and get someone better. That's how you create a champion team. That's how sports works.
And this isn't a GE specific problem. Most teams in India won't risk benching players because they are scared of ruining relations.
I will try to frame my answer from the perspective of a foreign tourist visiting India to take the best out of this trip and avoid any problems on the way.
Honestly, if you come to India, I would recommend just go to one of these beach destinations like Kerala and Goa. The ideal visiting time is around winter where there is not much humidity and the temps are really good.
Both these spots are really tourist-friendly with people whom you can communicate easily (Obvio they talk english but you can also find people speaking french, spanish, portugese etc to help you out)
The food in both these parts is great, you can also find Beef dishes in Kerala which tbh, you cannot find in the majority of India and many foreigners really crave this meat when coming to India, just so that you know.
The Christmas party in Goa is very famous and hundreds of thousands of tourists visit Goa during that time of the year. It is a very unique experience to celebrate Christmas in 30 degrees Celcius for many Europeans and North Americans.
This is the easiest and effortless route you can take to enjoy and not get yourself tired. Ideal for a vacation.
If you are more into India's culture then ohh boy, prepare to do some trekking and traveling.
I suggest you land in New Delhi rather than Mumbai, go explore Old Delhi. Some posts above have mentioned some popular spots, Chandni Chowk, Qutub Minar, Red Fort and other places which I am sure the place where you stay (your hotel) will be more than happy to help you out with.
Then proceed towards Agra and visit the Taj Mahal and other places near it including Fatehpur Sikri.
This is usually enough for a normal person visiting India for the first time. After this, you can proceed to either Goa or Kerala. Goa is strictly for enjoyment (atleast as a tourist) while Kerala has both culture and good beaches. You can decide likewise.
Some things to note out for in India -
India gets very hot and humid, make sure to drink lots of water and only packaged water or water that you are used to drinking for at least 7-8 days on your arrival. Indians get sick when they go abroad and others when they come to India cause of the different microbiology in different areas.
As much as India gets hot, it also gets cold. Make sure to bring winterwear if you are ever visiting anything that is in the northern half of India during the winter season (November - February). If you arrive (and leave) from Goa or Kerala, you won't need winterwear as they are mostly warm during the winters.
Always make sure you do things that tourists normally do and visit places where tourists normally visit. If at any point you feel like you do not see "white faces" for a while, make sure to return to a place with more tourists or your hotel.
India is safer than it is portrayed but still, it is advised to be at guard regardless.
Shopkeepers like to engage you to buy something and it can get quite hectic. Find a way to deal with them.
Keep talking to your driver/hotel managers/waiters at restaurants, they can let our some unique places to visit and some good food on the menu.
PS - I did not write this whole thing down. Parts of it are copied from a convo I had with someone else visiting India a while ago.
yaiima0 [#7]What can I do in Kerala that’s fun? They prolly have good food I’d assume.
Wayanad - Beautiful High range mountains and shit
Alleppey - Backwaters and boathouse
Kozhikode - Beach and food

Thrissur - Temples and festival
Idukki - Munnar

tbh idk where 'india is very dangerous thing' comes from probably cause its overpopulated and third world, i mean ofc there are serious crimes but all that has happened to me is the guy who takes clothes to iron them stole the key of my neighbor and tried to enter the house when no one was home but then was dragged to the police station by all the aunties in my building lmao
Puget [#20]do these places look like they do on google images? or is it usually over crowded?
its not the case where poeple are sitting on top of the trains lmao
Paracosm [#59]tbh idk where 'india is very dangerous thing' comes from probably cause its overpopulated and third world, i mean ofc there are serious crimes but all that has happened to me is the guy who takes clothes to iron them stole the key of my neighbor and tried to enter the house when no one was home but then was dragged to the police station by all the aunties in my building lmao
LMAO
but tbh, I hear a lot about people complaining about safety.
But in reality, you rarely hear about any crime taking place. For example, there has not been any robbery/murder in a 5km radius. I have heard about a couple of thefts but no murders/assault cases from family/friends and that includes 1000+ people.
This has to be pretty safe compared to let's say South America or South Africa where crime happens in broad daylight.

Also the term "third world" does not have anything to do with safety or economy.
It just refers to the fact that certain countries did not participate in a certain war and those countries were called "third world".
A lot of third-world countries are prosperous and developing.
Still, some uneducated "first world" kids think that this is some sort of insult.
Riizwan19xx [#53]yes brotha ! malayali thnne xD
ayeee same there’s barely any here in my school in canada

Delhi is literally one of the safest cities in india. Yes, even more safer than mumbai

Okay lmfao
Aight [#69]Okay lmfao
I know there is a common perception about delhi being not safe but i guess you are unaware of recent reports where delhi has beaten mumbai in almost every aspect be it health facilities or security. Delhi & Mumbai have been placed in top 50 safest cities in the world wdym.
