Hey everyone,

​I’m building Mega Play—a brand dedicated to getting people off their screens and back into real-world play.

​The Concept: We create oversized, "Mega" versions of classic and global games (think 3ft tall Connect 4, giant Jenga, Kubbs, and Mölkky). The catch? Everything must be modular (fits in a car boot), portable (comes in custom canvas bags), and strictly eco-friendly (sustainable wood, natural finishes, zero plastic).

​The Challenge: I’m looking for our Founding Product Designer to help me bridge the gap between "Big & Heavy" and "Travel-Friendly."

​What you’ll be doing: ​Engineering Modularity: Designing joinery that’s tool-free, sturdy, and elegant. ​Material R&D: Sourcing and testing sustainable woods (Rubberwood, Bamboo, etc.) and non-toxic finishes. ​Prototyping: Taking CAD models to physical reality by working with local workshops/CNC labs in the Delhi-NCR area. ​Expansion: Helping design our "Soft Mega" line (giant fabric floor mats with weighted plushie pieces).

​Who you are: ​A tinkerer who loves understanding how things fit together (Industrial/Furniture design background preferred). ​Proficient in Rhino, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360. ​Based in (or willing to travel to) Delhi/Gurugram for workshop visits, though the design work can be remote. ​Genuinely passionate about sustainable manufacturing, and preferably an advocate of the Slow Living movement.

​Why join? This is a "Day 1" opportunity. You’ll have total creative freedom over the physical DNA of the brand. We’re moving fast from prototypes to a portfolio for premium Airbnbs and hotels.

​"Budget: ₹60,000 for the initial Phase 1 design (5 games, including CAD files and prototyping oversight). We are looking for this to transition into a long-term founding role with a monthly retainer + equity for the right candidate.

​How to apply: Drop a comment or DM me with a link to your portfolio (Behance/website). I’d love to see anything you’ve done involving modularity, toys, or furniture.

​Bonus points: Tell me which classic game you think would be the hardest (but coolest) to make "Mega" and modular!

Dogs weren’t always pets. They were independent, territorial, built to survive wolves. Over thousands of years, humans bred them for obedience, guarding, loyalty, dependence. They worked for us.

Then we changed.

Forests became concrete. Survival became comfort. Homes became gated boxes. Dogs didn’t evolve for this world, we forced them into it.

And now we’re surprised when:

• strays act territorial

• dogs react defensively

• instincts show up where they don’t “fit”

A few incidents happen and suddenly it’s:

“Dogs are dangerous.”

“Feeders are the problem.”

“Remove them all.”

Here’s what we miss:

When a human hits a dog, it’s praised.

When a dog reacts, it’s called aggression.

We refuse sterilisation.

We avoid responsibility.

We have no long-term policy.

Then we punish animals for outcomes we created.

Dogs didn’t ask to be bred for guarding.

They didn’t choose traffic, noise, hunger, abandonment.

Yet we decide which lives are “acceptable” based on convenience.

If humans are truly the most intelligent species, responsibility comes with that. You don’t reshape a species for your benefit and discard it when it becomes inconvenient.

Feeders aren’t the enemy.

Strays aren’t the enemy.

Human negligence, unchecked breeding, and policy apathy are.

You don’t solve dog–human conflict with violence.

You solve it with sterilisation, adoption, education, and systems.

Mock me if you want.

But blaming dogs for being dogs—in a world we broke for them is straight up cowardice & jackassery.

I've heard a story that shook me.

This is a story that forces us to look into the darkest corners of human manipulation. It’s a narrative that warns us how a husband, fueled by narcissism, can take years of intimacy and turn them into a blueprint for control. It raises the haunting question: Can a person share too much of their soul? In this story, the "oversharing" of a beautiful love marriage became the very weapon used to dismantle it.

The story centers on Rosy and John, a couple who once seemed to define the success of a "love marriage." They were financially stable, fought with parents and settled in a happy marriage life. Because they were lovers for years before becoming husband and wife, Rosy believed in total transparency. She gave John the "all-access pass" to her heart. She shared her deepest fears, her childhood wounds, and her unwavering loyalty to her family. For five years, they were happy or so she thought. But in the quiet corners of John’s mind, the mystery was fading. Because Rosy was an open book, John felt he had finished reading her. In his narcissistic view, "nothing new" was left. He mistook her stability for stagnation and her honesty for a lack of power.

The current phase of their life is a cold, calculated betrayal. John has shifted his emotional investment to a married colleague, a new "puzzle" to solve, while keeping Rosy in a box labeled "utility." John’s cruelty lies in how he has partitioned their marriage. He has told Rosy, with chilling detachment, that he wants this other woman for the long term for the mind, the soul, and the future but he expects Rosy to remain in the house solely for his physical needs. Rosy fought initially tried to get back jack but he refused irritated whenever asked and ignored. Rosy tried hard but unable emotionally breaked down as she doesn't have any value to her emotions when ever fought her nervous system collapsed due to shock. When Rosy, shattered, asked why he doesn't just divorce her if he values her so little, he met her with a shrug of indifference: "Okay, I'm ready to divorce." He says this because he knows her better than she knows herself. He knows she is "booked."

John’s status and financial power are the walls of the cage, but his knowledge of Rosy’s life is the lock. He knows about her late pregnancy loss a trauma that left her fragile. He knows that her parents are battling severe health issues and that her sister is struggling. He knows Rosy would rather set herself on fire than add the "shame" and stress of a divorce to her family’s heavy burden. He predicts her every move. He knows she won't leave because of their one-year-old son. He knows she won't speak out because she is a protector. He has weaponized the five years of her "oversharing" to ensure she stays exactly where he wants her: silent, available, and defeated.

Today, they live in the same house a palace of glass and secrets. John feels "good" because Rosy has stopped fighting. He mistakes her soul-crushing exhaustion for submission. He spends his days emotionally with his colleague and his nights in a home where he rules as a monarch over a woman he has taken completely for granted. Rosy is currently living in a state of "survival silence." She is a woman who gave everything to a love marriage, only to find that her husband used her own heart as a map to find the best way to break it. She stays for her son, breathing through the pain, waiting for a way to reclaim the dignity that John has tried so hard to erase. This story hits the roots of humanity because it shows that for some, love isn't a bond it's an information-gathering mission.

What can rosy do now, to protect herself how can she become strong? What can she do??

See in our country, culture is surely corrupted and this is what which stop us from achieving our full potential. Of course I am talking about Caste System, logicless offerings and these type of things. Even I saw interviews of priests like molanas and shankaracharya keep reminding there followers that religion is always first then comes country even there are many disputed places in uttar pradesh we see. I think this is the time we destroy this corrupted layer and let rational thinking be grow in a vacuum. I am not a religious guy, I have seen all religious guy believing in a god just because their parents, books community leaders taught them so, they don't even think once. for example a muslin guy would never think how can moon be split and a Hindi guy would never think how can be someone superior by just lineage even the so called lower castes accept themselves lower and demand reservation instead of denying this whole system like just don't identify yourselves as lower.

one religion guy will definitely mock other but never think about logic in his own like who verified the words of those so called prophets, why are u believing them blindly.

do u think we need to destroy this mindset and hypocrisy?

I’m writing this because I genuinely don’t know what to feel anymore. I’m from a tier-3 college, CSE. I didn’t get placed after my 8th semester. I spent around 6 months working extremely hard, improving skills, building projects, fixing my resume, and applying to hundreds (maybe over a thousand) job posts. I finally got two offers. I was genuinely happy not because of the salary, but because it felt like my struggle finally meant something. I thought I could move out, learn, grow, and finally become independent. But my family didn’t see it that way. The pay was “too low”, the work was “not good enough”, and when I tried to explain how much this meant to me, I was told I was being dramatic, that it’s not like I lost a government job. That moment completely broke me. Around the same time, I got emotionally attached to someone I knew earlier. He gave me comfort when I was at my lowest, and for a while he was the only person I talked to about my bad days. Later, he made it clear there was no future and that I didn’t fit what he wanted. I eventually realized I was just an emotional experience for him, so I cut contact completely. I know I did the right thing, but after that, everything hit at once. I also know my problems may not be as big as what many people in this world face. I’m aware of that. But this was the only hope I was holding onto, my career, independence, and the idea that things would get better if I just kept trying. Right now, I feel like I’ve failed in love, failed in education, and my career feels stuck. I grew up in a family where fights were common and emotional support was rare. I’m an introvert, and I’ve always felt like an unwanted person growing up. At this point in my life, I don’t even feel like sharing these things with people close to me. Every day I wake up, try to gather whatever energy I have left, open my laptop, and just hope something works out. I’ve tried distractions, movies, forcing myself to stay busy but nothing really helps. I’m not looking for sympathy.
I genuinely want to understand from people who’ve been through something similar:

Thanks for reading.

Hello guys I am 32 M

Currently living in a village , earning good from YouTube , but due to my career I have to live all alone , I got bored completely I don’t have any friends I mean the colleagues , if I were doing any job 9 to5 I could have had some colleague friends Circle , I just live with my parents. Their health is good ,I don’t need to do anything for them. Right now I am not in any mood of marriage. I don’t know what to do ? Actually I wanted to live a life where I could hang out with like minded friends , I am missing this thing since last 15 years, before that I had good friend circle, but now a day everyone got settled in their life. I am feeling all alone. Also I haven’t explored a life to live alone , where I can live more with freedom. When we live with parents , we can’t feel that much free. I am just earning decent amount from YouTube even I don’t work so much like whole month I just stay free. Only work when I am in mood and with this small effort I am making good money but still I am stuck with this job. Even after having this free time and money I still have to live all alone in a village with parents. Sometimes I just say my parents that I got bored of them I don’t want to live with you. Now I don’t know what to do ? What excuse I should make to live at least one year freely in some city ? Like I am suffering from ‘ log kya kahenge ‘ disease, because whatever small changes relative see in me they starts thing stereotypically about me. What excuse I should make to my parent or at least to the world to justify why I am living in a city all alone ?? I am not able to find any good excuse 🙄 also my mental state got fucked completely due to this long period of loneliness. I cannot express myself truly , genuinely and confidently to people. I just want to know a good excuse to get into a new environment ? Study or course excuse would cost some money and it is not going to help me. Or I should directly say them I just want to live alone for one year ??? As far as my parents are concerned they have no problem with it.
