@DrDatta_AIIMS Well I would pick being murdered by a spouse over dying alone but to each his own I guess.

@TheGlobal_Index I don't believe the median age of the US is below 40. That's simply not possible. Like literally everyone is elderly including myself.

@masagget Only when I saw the percentage of Russians and ukrainians did I realize we are not talking about Georgia the state. Initially I was like, what's an ethnic Georgian and why do we care about that? 🤣

@aaraynsh You seem to be misinformed about the facts of the story! They were not "in love." These were two strangers practicing the future role of partners, because they were about to be arranged married. The incident is absolutely tragic of course.

[Sulagna Dasgupta @SulagnaDG]

@MattLaemon They were about to have an arranged marriage. Randomly arranged by their families. He was not "deeply in love". These were just two strangers practicing the roles of suddenly becoming each other's spouses. The incident is tragic of course.

@theskindoctor13 OMG this video is hilarious. It's so hilarious when people from certain Indian communities, about to have arranged marriages, suddenly start performing like Bollywood actors as if they are so much in love.

@frontierindica 1. We're poor
2. We don't have a fitness culture and won't need it as long as we have arranged marriages

@zbrdazdola69 Like it's not even just air conditioners! They don't even have fans in university buildings! If a poor country did this they would be called uncivilized.

[Sulagna Dasgupta @SulagnaDG]

@BullBoss5 I am in Europe currency and making people sweat by not only disallowing AC but seemingly also banishing fans, seems to be a horrible idea. If a developing nation did this you guys will blame it on their poverty. But because Europeans are doing it it's apparently a lifestyle.

[Sulagna Dasgupta @SulagnaDG]

@vrexec Makes perfect sense to me. Europe is where people go to semi-retire and nobody goes there to create the next scientific/ technological/ entrepreneurial breakthrough. Everyone knows this.

[Sulagna Dasgupta @SulagnaDG]

@AdrianWerner @bobasfk Except for those at the top of the food chain like top lawyers, investment bankers, management consultants, surgeons etc. People in these professions routinely work that kind of hours, to out-compete their competition. They aren't slaves. They make millions. :)

[Sulagna Dasgupta @SulagnaDG]

@AdrianWerner @bobasfk It's not unnatural unless you're 100% irreplaceable. As long as there is some replaceability to your job, you need to out-compete your competition. Why should I not hire your competition who is willing to work 16 hrs a day, if you need European style 6 mo vacations?

@tanujDE3180 Everything considered, for a middle class or upper middle class person, quality of life is objectively way worse the developed world than in India. If you are a multimillionaire OR manual laborer, only then your quality of life is better in the west than in India.

@MrsDoubtFireSF My Chase sapphire card works everywhere in India. It's a US credit card linked to my US Bank account. Stop spreading complete misinfo.

@Klayton152 @GKunstwerk The "society" didn't allow that. Her parents, including her mother, allowed that. Let's put responsibility where it belongs.

[Sulagna Dasgupta @SulagnaDG]

@Sushant_7Writes And thank God for that! Why on Earth should I, as a taxpayer, be responsible for your kids? There is no such thing as government money. It's all another fellow citizen's money.

[Sulagna Dasgupta @SulagnaDG]

@japan_nobunaga Except you guys don't let any non Japanese people live in your country, so there's that. Other than that, sure "the Japanese simply don't know what's racism".

[Sulagna Dasgupta @SulagnaDG]

@SamSiff Why does he care about "work experience" of a potential spouse? Also, what does "had good skills" mean? 🤔 Ah ... The world of arranged marriages. Normal people will never understand.

[Sulagna Dasgupta @SulagnaDG]

@NalinisKitchen The real attraction of a beach in Italy or East Asia, is not the beach or the sun, if you know what I mean. That, you won't get anywhere in India. Thankfully, it's not safe in India.
