So my views on CAA-NRC are quite clear. However the jokes from flatmates are a bit much and their views on it are mostly none.
Which means they mostly support it, because you express opposition but you do NOT need to express support towards any such legislation.
Upon that, their views on women.

Off topic, but:
I'm not going to say I haven't identified with what they feel, but I was an immature teenager with plenty of angst at the world in general and I felt I was entitled to the expression of my views.
I've been awful to people and would apologise in person to anyone I've offended, and thankfully my 20s have helped me mature into an adult who:

A. is grateful for the people I have met and will meet
B. wants to learn from others, and
C. wants to make amends for my past errors
Back to the topic,

These guys have some messed up views on pre/post marriage, on relationships in general and I'm mostly aghast that I asked my ex-girlfriend to come over if she wanted to when she was in the city.

Because I don't want to bring anyone I know over. Not any more.
Off topic again, but:

I dated this amazing, vivacious person for nearly three years who taught me a lot of things (better flowcharting and appreciating filter kappi/maddur vadas), is still someone I look up to and whose life choices have made me admire her.
Still off topic, and there's no point to this rambling:

Month #1 after us ending things was me being shattered, but slightly relieved. Month #2, I killed off my lingering chances by blowing off a date. Since then, I've taken time for myself to be better the next time around.
Back to topic, there's a prioritised list.

Reason #1:

In light of things I'm seeing and hearing now that I'm spending an average of 15 minutes per day with them,

I need to leave this house, I need to go, this is a reminder I'm placing for myself to shift out as soon as I can.
Reason #3:

I can complete my process of moving on. Not 96%, not 98%, a full 100%. I attach memories to things and times I visit places.

To quote a wise friend, it's infrequently overwhelming when I realise I have a mental binder full of memories and I can't share that anymore.
Reason #2:

Old classmates are willing to let me take over a room in a bit and it is 10 min from office, 10 min from the chill place that colleagues frequent and more importantly, our living habits won't shock each other because we've lived in a hostel for two years before this.
Okay cool, I guess I'm done for tonight.

Will probably go watch The Office so I have added reasons to cringe, in addition to the above thread.
Two months on, adding to this thread that the first week I was here, one of my flatmates introduced me to Sid Sriram and that's reason #4 for this shift: good music.
