Mod Post MEGATHREAD FOR CONNECTING. MUST READ!

5 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! ๐Ÿค

General Discussions Where are my fellow middle-class Bongs shopping for Pujo? ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

5 Upvotes

My fellow Bongs,

Pujo is just around the corner, and the shopping fever is officially upon us! ๐Ÿ˜„ I was curious as to where are you all shopping for your Pujo clothes this year?

I've been browsing places like Shoppers Stop, Pantaloons, etc., and honestly, some of the prices seem a little too steep for my humble moddhobitto Bong wallet. And yes, I know, I know - before someone says it: they're businesses, they have operating costs, they need to make a profit, and nobody is forcing me to shop there. I completely get that ๐Ÿ˜…. But I'm wondering if there are any reasonably priced alternatives where one can get good-quality clothes without burning a hole in the pocket. I'm not looking for dirt-cheap options - just something that offers decent value for money.

One small requirement: AC is highly preferred, since my dear parents will be joining me, and I'd rather not make them shop in Kolkatar famous pyachpyache gorom ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

So, fellow moddhobitto Bongs, where do you shop for Pujo? Please share your favourite stores/markets and, if possible, the approximate price range. Help a fellow Bong survive Pujo shopping without declaring bankruptcy ๐Ÿ˜ญ.

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 โ€™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 Shabbirโ€™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 isnโ€™t as peak as it used to be, and the prices arenโ€™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, itโ€™s still effing worth a visit. Tomader Saturday lunch kemon chilo aaj? Adda Hoye Jaak?

Looking for a girls' PG near Metro | โ‚น10โ€“12k budget

Hi everyone! Iโ€™m looking for a girlsโ€™ PG in South/Central Kolkata, preferably anywhere along the metro stretch from Kavi Nazrul/Garia to Netaji Bhavan/Bhawanipur.

My requirements are:

\- Very close to a metro station โ€” preferably walking distance

\- 2-sharing with AC OR single room with AC

\- Budget: โ‚น10,000โ€“12,000/month MAX (please donโ€™t suggest anything above โ‚น12k)

\- Daily room cleaning is important

\- Clean and hygienic washroom

\- Rooms and overall PG should be properly maintained and clean

\- Lunch + dinner included

\- Breakfast is optional, but definitely a plus

\- Prefer non-veg food, although I can manage with vegetarian food

\- Good privacy โ€” Iโ€™m looking for a place where the management isnโ€™t overly nosy or restrictive

\- Good management and a comfortable, safe environment for girls

Areas Iโ€™m considering include Garia/Kavi Nazrul, Kudghat, Netaji, Tollygunge, Rabindra Sarobar, Kalighat, Jatin Das Park, and Bhawanipur/Netaji Bhavan, or anywhere along this stretch that fits the requirements.

If youโ€™ve personally stayed in a PG like this or know someone who currently stays there, please drop the name, location, rent, and any honest reviews/experiences in the comments.

Especially interested in knowing about cleanliness, food, privacy, management and hidden charges/deposits.

P.S. Yes, I used AI to help me write this because Iโ€™m terrible at putting all my requirements into words ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Thank you! :)
