TL;DR How can I recover after husband sexted on online chats?
I am a 48f, husband 48m. We’ve been married for 25+yrs. Kids, grandson. I thought a pretty solid good marriage.. lately we’ve been distant but everyone goes thru this at some point. Just found out he bought a toy, I knew about the toy BUT I wasn’t aware it came a w app to chat and have sex online. This only went on for a little over a month, I confirmed via apps, recovered emails he’d deleted. I found out only because he sent a couple nudes and two face pics (which I felt were more personal than graphic ones). I found out because he was blackmailed and they had my kids Facebook pages and said they’d send pics to them if he didn’t pay. He freaked out and told me, I cursed at the blackmailers, from India!! But now how do I move on? By online “stalking “ I found out he bought two porn videos by two different women. There were like 50 chats, i couldn’t see the actual chats cause when I stupidly asked him to delete it got rid of the history content, just kept usernames. He’s so beyond sorry, says to him it was only porn, it was easy, he logged on, the gave him “instructions “, he got off and chat over- supposedly. Now I find out he had a fans only account, only active for like a week, verified that too- but he followed like 15 women. Again, swears it was porn to him, swears no video chats or phone ones. Says he loves me, over and over. He played a online transformers game which I knew about- dung geek stuff- I know this for a fact- but for the last 6-7 yrs he’s ignored all of us for that game- works, comes home and plays and starts again next day. I gave up trying to get his attention so sex wasn’t happening a lot cause he was just a couch potato- so I get it. He said this was easy, exciting for the whole 10 mins of straight sex talk and then he’d move on . I wholeheartedly believe he loves me- I do!! But how do I get past this? If he loved me so much how could he not see this for what it was? I can’t imagine my life without him so I stayed but can’t get over the hurt. I gave him back my ring, I won’t wear it. We had a huge vacation planned for next yr for an anniversary celebration but I’ve cancelled that. He’s so apologetic and sorry. Kids found out- none are speaking to him- they’re adults. What do I do?

Hello hello! I'm a 20 year old bisexual guy from Kolkata (Calcutta), India (GMT+5:30) looking for, as mentioned in the title, close and intimate friends.
About me, I'm a full-time university student who's in his second year of undergraduate study. Well, this is just the beginning of my academic journey as I aspire to become a professor, the first in my family to hold a PhD. Physically, I'm 167 cm (5'6"), 65kg (130lbs) with light brown skin, medium brown eyes and very dark brown hair which reaches my shoulders. As for interests, I love reading and collecting books. Also, I like learning languages, currently taking B2 level French lessons at the Alliance française in my city. Apart from that, I enjoy visiting museums, galleries and libraries, followed by discovering various genres and music and podcasts (love the true crime genre) and watching films (Girl, Interrupted is an all-time favourite followed by Call Me By Your Name).
As to why I'm looking for close friends online, I've had very few opportunities to bond with men and also to explore myself. I find it difficult to get along with South Asian men, as I've grown up around them all my life and both the straight and queer ones have deep insecurities regarding their masculinity and sexuality, as well as an inflated sense of thinking highly of themselves. I would just like to change that, even if it's online. I just want companionship and intimacy, even if it's not face-to-face. I would like us to have no hesitations, limits or judgements between us. Just pure desire and affection existing simultaneously. I also suffer from clinical depression, Borderline Personality Disorder and Generalised Anxiety Disorder, have been on medication for the past 5 years and am going to therapy, but if that's not okay with you, I completely understand and do not blame you. I just want someone where we mutually care for each other out of actual genuineness. Also, I should put it out there, if our friendship turns into something potentially romantic, and we both feel the same way, I'd like to act on that.
So if all of this sounds good to you, don't hesitate to reach out, DMs are always open! I would be open to showing my own face and sharing my name if it is a mutual effort on both ends. Also, if we hit it off, I'd like to move to some other, more stable messaging app where we can chat, share pics and voice notes and eventually have voice and video calls.
Important, please note: I DO NOT use SNAPCHAT or SKYPE due to concerns regarding my privacy as well as security and encryption. Hope you do understand that. Looking forward to hearing from you very soon!

Hi folks ,
I’m new to this community . We own a mango farm in southern part of India . It’s mostly hot except when it rains . We have a farmhouse and a servant quarters as well . We lost my aunt to a snake bite about a month ago . I want to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone in my family again .
My dad was telling about some birds which can spot snakes and scorpions and such and hunt them .
Are there any methods to prevent this . Thank you .

Ugh. Sometimes I feel really unappreciated.
I will use this past weekend as an example...
My partner (25M)'s younger sister (12F) was invited to a friend's birthday party which was held at an amusement park. We thought it would be fun to take his other two sisters (15F and 10F and our son (1M); it was fun.
Chaperoning is a tiresome job, it literally takes up my entire mental capacity to give my attention to all the kids e.g. entertain, feed, listen, comfort... I do it all. This was not my first time taking the kids out and is something I am used to doing on a regular basis, the only difference this time around was that I had a semi-strict schedule to stick to (my aunt passed away really recently and we had just collected her ashes to bring home on the same day). I loved this aunty, she was a wonderful person. Usually comfort and support are offered up during these times of need and some will even attend the services with you; mine did not.
Given he had to stay with the kids and drive them to the next location for the party, it was not a problem that he could not make it to the prayer time and distribution.
Now, today was really what got me feeling down about myself.
I spent the entire day (10am - 5pm) making the kids breakfast (the most delicious French toast they have ever had hehe) and the rest of the day was centred around a HUGE house clean up. The clean and decluttering consisted of some major "Feng Shui" techniques (they have a mouse in their house that I was trying to find and release back into the wild but had no such luck), sanitising all table tops, 3 x dishes, 3 x loads of laundry, taking out the trash and recycle, changing bedding, extreme paper organising (documents, school work etc.) Alllll this PLUS my usual bub and mum routine.
This all finished up at around 5pm, meanwhile my partner barely lifted a finger to help unless asked. I was a little agitated but it was something I chose to brush off because I did not need help, I only wanted it. Plus, I was really proud of the work I had done.
Anyway, after all this, he drove bub and I home a little later than my mum had wanted us to be home so naturally she ignored my presence when we arrived home (she does that a lot)... I had told my partner to apologise to her for the delay in getting us home; he gave a half-assed apology and decided to give me major attitude on his way back to the car.
He has been super short with me recently which I do NOT have a liking for one bit.
Am I the asshole for snapping at him after this? Actually, not even a "snap", I simply rolled my eyes and gave him the finger when he left.
Oh and baby? If you are reading this, feel free to comment YOUR side of the story since you found my other post and got mad about it.
As you can see, no lies, no fabrications, yet AGAIN and yes, sometimes I do need reassurance and support from random internet strangers because they make me feel good about myself when you fail to do so.

I (female 28) and fiance (male 30) have been dating for three years engaged for one year. We are both from the Caribbean. My fiance has a very small family. It is just him his mum and his little brother. I have a great relationship with his brother however, building a relationship with his mother has been very difficult. My fiance’s mom is a very judgemental person but that is just her as a character from the first day I met her the first words that came out of her mouth was “oh my God you are really pretty is that outfit from Primark but you look really nice”.
She has often made passive aggressive comments about the way I dress the way I look and my weight. when I came back from holiday with my family. The first comment she made when she saw me after three weeks away in sunny Jamaica and Miami, was “oh my God, you’ve put on so much weight you look much bigger”. This isn’t the first time she would make comments like that about my weight or how I dress. I would also like to point out that my fiance‘s mum has a very high-quality taste when it comes to fashion she would often buy and wear a lot of designer clothes such as Louis Vuitton,Gucci, Chanel and many more brands.
I have bought this up to my fiance saying how I feel disrespected by the comments his mum has made about me how I dress and my appearance he does bring it to his mum and defends me but she just says I didn’t mean it like that. I love her. I love how she dresses and it would just get dropped very quickly. I have also brought up to my fiancé that there are times when I come to the house and I say hello to her and she ignores me and there’s times that I’ve gone to give her a hug and she backs away or doesn’t return the hug. therefore I decided she must be somebody that doesn’t like hugs so I just say hello to her even if she doesn’t say hello back. However, my fiance Mum said to my fiance that she finds me rude because I don’t give her a hug when I see her and I explained to my fiance that I always do.
But fast forward to present I am now planning for the wedding. My fiance Mum has had a lot of opinions on my wedding. I want to just add that my mum and dad are not very fond of my fiance’s mum as she has also made passive aggressive comments around them.
For example I threw a surprise party for my fiance for his 30th birthday his mother didn’t want to be involved in the party planning as she said she wasn’t sure if her son would want a surprise party because he’s not that type to like parties. I know my fiance and he would love something like that and he did love it as he stated that was the best birthday celebration he has ever had. His mother wasn’t very happy with that comment. But whilst she was at the surprise party that was at my house this was the first time my parents were meeting my fiance Mum and brother. my mum was about to serve the food at the party and coming from a Caribbean household we always have lots of food when having parties and we usually give people paper plates to eat their food from , as we were catering for about 30 people at the party. The first thing my fiance Mum said to me was “ I need a proper plate and a proper knife and fork. I am not degrading myself by eating on a paper plate” Other people were around and they just gave a weird look. But I just brushed off the comment and said to my fiance Mum I’ll be happy to get you a plate and a knife and fork. She then followed me into the kitchen. I then said to my mum, can she grab a plate for me? My mum being the sweet person she is went to get my fiance‘s mum one of our nicer plates from our China set. My fiance Mum then turned to me and said “ what your mum doesn’t have any clean plates in the kitchen?” my fiance‘s mum would often make rude comments like this to me however she didn’t realise my auntie was also in the kitchen at the time and my auntie turned to her and said “she’s getting the plate for you now why don’t you just wait” My fiance‘s mum looked shocked as she wasn’t expecting my aunt to be in the kitchen. My fiance‘s mum, quickly tried to mask it by saying “oh I was just joking thank you so much for getting me the plate.”
From this encounter that my family have had with my fiance’s mum and the overall rude comments that she makes about me my family are not very fond of her and how she talks and addresses people overall it can come across belittling and rude. My fiance Mum always backs herself up by saying it’s a Caribbean thing we just talk like that. However, I am from the Caribbean and so is my family and we do not speak to people like that we talk to everybody with respect especially when we are in other peoples homes.
A couple months after that My mum and dad then decided to throw me and my fiance an engagement party at our house. My mum and dad warned majority of my family of my fiance’s mums behaviour as coming from a Jamaican background a lot of my family take disrespectful comments very personally . They already find my fiance Mum to be rude and my parents had to speak to a lot of them before the party just to ask them to not react when my fiance‘s mum says something disrespectful as they wanted the engagement party to be something positive for my fiancé and I. However that didn’t stop my fiance’s mum for being disrespectful to nearly all of my family members and friends but other than that we had a great time at the party. Fast forward to the day after the engagement party my fiance and I were opening cards from our family and friends. A large proportion of the party was my family as I said before my fiance has a small size family. as we were opening the cards there was large sum of cash in a lot of the cards in total we had a little bit over £600 from all the cards.
The plan was to open a bank account and store the money in there to go towards any other wedding funds. as we were opening the cards my fiance’s mum called my fiance and said to him make sure you bring back the cards and the money .
I found this comment to be weird and I asked my fiance why did your mum ask for the money? He said I’m not sure. Maybe two days after the engagement party, my fiance had called me and said the engagement money has gone. I then said to my fiance wtf where is are money? Did you miss place it? He said no my mum went into my room and took our money as she said she needed it urgently. I was absolutely livid. I couldn’t believe that she went through my fiance’s room looking for the money and stole it.
I was so mad at my fiance for not saying anything to his mother I had to then call her and tell her put the money right back. She tried to argue with me telling me she needed the money urgently and it was a family emergency. She needed to send money to someone in the Caribbean. This caused a huge problem between me and my fiance and I told him he needs to stand up for us or else I will do it then spoke to his mum about the money and she gave it back. When I sat down with her and spoke to her about how upset I was over the fact that she took the money, she said to me you are clearly not someone who is not family orientated I don’t care what money I have or where it’s comes from if my family needed it I will give them the money if I go to my sons room and I see £20 sitting on his desk if I want it, I will just take it and now I know if I was laying dead on the street I wouldn’t call you for a pound cos I know what you are like with money.
I cannot believe that this woman turned it on me making it seem like I was crazy for being upset with her for stealing our engagement money. I had enough of this and I said to my fiance if he doesn’t start sticking up for me and our relationship I don’t see a future.
My fiance was very apologetic and said that he will start sticking up for us as he knows this is wrong but He said his mom has been taking money off of him and his little brother from when they were children any birthdays money, big events or any money he would get from family his mum would just take it so he was so used to his mum taking money from him that he didn’t see a problem with it. I have made sure that moving forward with this wedding that all financial costs are done by me and my side of the family.
my mum has stated that she does not want my fiance ‘s mum involved in any of the wedding planning as she’s very judgemental and rude and does not trust her with money as she’s afraid that if we ask her to book something that she would take the money and use it for herself.
My fiance‘s mum has been very vocal about the wedding she has said I want this wedding at my Catholic Church or I won’t be happy . I am born again Christian I have a church that I have been going to since I was born. My pastor has known me from birth and has been an active person in my life and has always been there for important mild stone in my life. I have always told my fiance that I want my Pastor to do the ceremony. My fiance agreed and said he wants the wedding wherever I want the wedding as he couldn’t care less whether it was in a catholic Church or a normal church.
My fiance and I picked this beautiful Riverside garden club venue for the wedding that we decided we were gonna have the ceremony there as well as the reception. My fiance’s mum was not happy about this and said that if it’s not at her Catholic Church, she is not gonna come and I should convert to Catholic religion.
I said I would absolutely not be converting and this is the decision that we have made as a couple and if she doesn’t want to come that’s on here. My fiance spoke to his mum and said to her she needs to start respecting our decision and she then apologised and said I just want this for you as it’s important to get married in a church, especially as a catholic but I respect your wishes. Which I know was bullshit. She only said this because my fiance was visibly upset with her and was cold to her for a little while. Because she is so negative about the wedding I do not involve her whatsoever in anything to do with the planning.
I just recently had a long conversation with my fiance and I expressed my feelings about his mother and I decided for my own mental health and from speaking to family, friends and speaking to a pastor about this as it’s gotten so serious it has made me feel so depressed at times as I really love my fiance and if it wasn’t for his mum, our relationship would be so perfect as we literally have no issues. Anything we argue about is always to do with his mother. So I expressed to my fiance that I do not want to have a relationship with his mother until I see some change in the way she treats me. As she is so judgemental and doesn’t respect boundaries. I do not feel safe to have a relationship with her.
She has asked my fiance if I would like to go out to dinner and overall meet up with her more often just her and I. I told my fiance I would absolutely not be meeting up with this mother on my own any encounters I have with this woman I want my fiance to be there as I do not trust her. My fiance Said he is fine about me not having a relationship with his mother however I can tell from his facial expressions that he really wants me to try and have a relationship with her.
So am I the arsehole for not wanting a relationship with my fiance Mum?

This is longer and more disjointed than I hoped, but it's also just kind of a rant, and I'm sorry about that :)
I haven't seen my father in nearly 30 years, since the day after I turned 18. He joined a cult, drove away my mother, and then took me with when the cult moved across the country to live on a mountain. Short story - I hated him and left the moment I was able to, but it's whatever, this isn't about him. It's about the rest of my relatives.
My very earliest memory is of crawling underneath the table at a very normal Christmas family dinner. It was kind of the pinnacle of my family. It was at my grandparent's house, where all the big holidays were celebrated, and there were aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends all mingling. It was overwhelming and amazing to small me who craved approval and acceptance and belonging, even though my other earliest memories involve feeling like some kind of Other, an alien who wanted to carefully untape and unfold wrapping paper from presents instead of chaotically ripping it in pieces like instructed. That's not really relevant to the story, though.
And that's...about it, at least as far as memories of family. My father made sure we weren't ultra-tight knit with any of them (and I also have bad ADHD, so if you're not directly in front of me, it's kind of like the end of Infinity War when everyone disintegrates, except more drawn out, but equal the anguish), so when he took me with the cult, not seeing any of them again seemed pretty normal to early-teen me. Out of all of them, the only one I occasionally heard from again was my grandmother, at least until she died a few years later. Until once later, but we'll get to that.
What I learned later was that my family *was* fairly tight knit, at least at one point. Before I was born. It took me coming into existence to transform the sperm donor from a goofy stoner into a fervent cult member, and every member of the family was confused and mystified by it. They had no idea what happened, or where we went, or why. They just knew that he randomly got super religious, divorced my mom, and then he and I just disappeared one day with no word.
And that was it until...
One night about 3 years ago, I'm sitting at home alone at my desk when my phone starts dinging, and I look, and who is it but one of the aforementioned cousins calling through FB messenger. Me, having not talked to him in something like 30 years, naturally assumed someone died or something, so I answered. We ended up talking for a couple hours, and I learned that nobody in the family had known where we went, or why we disappeared, or why my father went off the deep end, or anything. I filled in the blanks, and he was astounded. They hadn't even known that I haven't seen my father in nearly 3 decades.
I was also astounded, but for a different reason. It sunk in that, during all that time, my entire family had zero idea why I disappeared, or where we went, and none of them made any effort to find out why. Even years later on when FB became a thing, and they all came up on my People You May Know, etc., still not one ever got ahold of me to talk or learn anything. It just...wasn't important to them, I guess.
Even the single call from the cousin was an accident (I know this because he said so). I don't know if family gatherings and such like they used to do in the past are still a thing, but I've never been invited or seen pics or heard any news. I spent a couple years in the hospital on the verge of death in my 20s, and not a word from anyone. I've lived all over the country for the past decades, and nothing. It's like my father took me, and I vanished completely from their worlds, minds, and existences.
I've thought about "reaching out" and "trying to connect" but FUCK THEM I WAS THE ONE THAT DISAPPEARED, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LOOK FOR ME YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES LIKE WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT??!
...
I'm in my mid-40s now, so it's not really important. They'll all be dead soon, and my life will be utterly unchanged. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around such detachment, like almost every single friend I've ever gotten close to has disappeared for one reason or another, and every time, the inside of my head is screaming and grasping at this idea of a person and a closeness that's slowly disintegrating, and I feel a little bit emptier every time, and I can't imagine the idea of actually having a close family, and then a part of that family just up and vanishes and being like, "huh, that was weird *shrug* OH WELL MOVING ON"
Just fuck them.
It just sucks realizing you're really, truly alone.
Much love if you read this far <3

Id like some advice on my next steps. This is regarding my family, ive already blocked them all and asked them to stay away. I feel I might need to take things further as I want to protect my wife and daughter. Here's some back story in them, my counsellor deemed them toxic after what I told her and I'm the escape goat for their behaviour.
*In march it was my 2 year olds birthday, my wife had all her family there, mine didn't show. My nan was meant to come with my mum & Dad but she stayed to make sure my mum was okay. My mum said they was arguing, my dad said his car broke down.
*My parents, have been arguing long before I was born, I was brought up with my dad hitting my mother, me, my sisters (they are still together, they could have a punch up Thursday and go for a day out coffee, Friday) . Throwing power tools through glass windows at my mum, breaking her arm, pouring bleach on her face, kicking the family dog + more. My mum would swear, follow him around the house provoking him, hitting him. Asking me to call the police, I would call my nan & grandad for help as a child, they refused to help me. My mum was also having an affair, she used to bribe me with money to not tell my dad, I wasn't aloud to go to the kitchen as I'd have to walk in the front room to get there and her and this bloke was there, I did once and she threatened to stop me seeing my friends if I do that again. I was left in school,.I was bullied and neither would help me, I was thinking ignored as they thought I was lazy/school syndrome. I had Asperger's (not diagnosed till I was 25) didn't know how to behave like everyone else, so I was spat on, bag put in the bin, had my head cracked open as I was thrown into a brick wall, threatened to have my throatt cut as I was weird and I was told nobody would miss me if I was dead. Edit: Christmas day we had my parents over and boxing day they had us over (It was also sister "H" 40th birthday party at a pub, they said they would go for an hour, we can stay at their house and they would take us home. Usually my daughter goes to bed at 7, parents left at half 6,.didn't come back till 10:30pm, they had a few drinks and sung on karokae. I was gone by 9 with my daughter and wife in a taxi to which my dad calls me controlling.
*I was very hurt I had none of my family at my daughter's birthday. I asked my mum to not mention if she goes to my niece's nephew's birthdays so far she has made 3 out of the 5 niece's and my nephews. We've seen her a few times since march she continuously mentions she goes to theirs. Recently in front of my daughter she said I must to to "A's" birthday she is lovely and special not her fault about her mothemy sister. My mum knew I was upset by what she said. She then text me wife and said she is worried about my mental health and she needs to get help for me as the strain it puts on her and my daughter.
*My sister "H" (Age 40) and me don't get along. From what family told me she had a grudge when I was born she lost attention, bullied me, telling me my first injection would break in my arm at school, calling me names, popping my bouncy castle as a kid. Had her friends over and they bullied me, telling me to kill myself, been called most names by her, writing stuff about my mental health on FB (I was drinking and self harming at one stage in my life) My parents barely did anything that is just her. When I got engaged/married she was jealous as she is unmarried 4 dads 6 kids. She said it should of been her getting married she is the middle child, she proceeded to speak privately to my wife about me, does his Asperger's bother you etc, she spoke privately to me about my wife, she's not sure on her etc. When my wife was giving birth she was calling me a "cu.." writing post on FB as I wouldn't tell her how many CM dialated my wife was, she felt she had the right as a concerned family member. She has also abused my wife on my birthday as my wife did a post on FB with pics of me and her and no family members and she felt embarrassed.
Sister "E" (Age 43) never really had issues with her occasional falling out, nothing major. When I was 20 (I'm 31) she tried to take me on walks as I didn't leave the house for 2 years after bullying at school. She stopped as she said my depression was making her unwell, I then went for counselling. Recently in past year, my grandad got unwell, Alzheimer's and past away.
During the period of Alzheimer's my sisters took over mostly "H" and sister "E" was in awe of her, they was at hospital everyday, Sister "H" got a friend to change the next of kin from my mother, auntie to her without them knowing. My sister's barely saw my grandparents before this. Sister "E" was phoning me up stopping me from going to see him as Sister "H" need to be there on her own, Sister "H" also banned my wife my wife as she felt she wasn't family, said my daughter had to wait outside with my wife, but sister "H" had her 9 year old son off school to see my grandad. My sister always argued before all this, never got along.
I only saw my grandad 3 times in 6 months then he passed. My grandad left me his st Christopher necklace, sister "H" Told the family she should of had that as i didn't bother when he was dying, lots of nasty things said about me according to sister "E" husband. I was in the funeral car by my granddad's wishes (we had a close relationship) I was abused for that too, should of been her etc.
*I had my daughter's christening in November, I blocked Sister "H" and didn't want her anywhere near the christening. Sister "E" phoned me up twice, demanding "H" goes grandad would be ashamed of me, the family should be together after losing grandad (Bare in mind "E" had her wedding abroad and her 2 children's christening and didn't invite the family) I gave in stupidly, on the day sister "H" didn't turn up due to back problems but my nan told me she went to the gym the next day and sister "E" walked out with her family half way through the christening after I asked where "H" is.
The family keep saying it's my mental health and they are concerned for me. Sorry for the long story and thank you for reading this far.

Hello, I am thunder fan from India (You might remember me from this post.)
So after these playoffs there are some glaring issue in this thunder team that is rebounding, scoring and defending in paint. I have made the list of players who will fit this team's style of play.
What I see this team need is a forward who is jack of all trades and master of none. He should be strong enough to box out players and secure a rebound without sacrificing on perimeter defense.
Here are my top 5 -

Jalen Johnson
Kyle Kuzma
Deni Avdija
Kevin Durant
Lauri Markkanen

These players fit our system and improve our team significantly. Bringing anyone from the above list will not be that risky.
Or If we want to save some cash and draft picks and want Jwill and Dieng to develop then we can for some of the players mentioned below-

Christian Wood
Jarred Vanderbilt
Bobby Portis
Isaiah Stewart

I am back after a break with another reimagining, and I thought this time I would tackle another movie that fell disappointingly short of expectations... Sarkar. Sarkar released to huge expectations after the success of both Thuppakki and Kaththi, but the film failed to deliver on its promise of a Mudhalvan-like political fantasy; I have to admit though, the movie is a guilty pleasure of mine which I do often revisit. That being said:
WARNING: I am not claiming to be a better writer than any of the people involved in the film and this is not a criticism of their ability.
The movie begins with a boarding meeting at one of the companies in Canada that GL (Sundar's company) is about to acquire. The members of the board nervously waiting for the arrival of their new boss, the media is waiting outside and we get the hype up for Sundar's eventual mass intro. After a build a of tension, a Rolls Royce pulls up and the camera follows as a man wearing pair of Tom Ford shoes exits the vehicle and walks into the elevator in the building as the media tries to snap some pics of him. The members of the board continue to wait impatiently, as the elevator doors open to reveal Sundar Ramaswamy (Vijay). He basically walks in doesn't say a word and sits at the head of the table. Sundar's lawyer drops the paperwork on the table, each member of the board takes their turn signing the document. Finally the document comes back to Sundar who flicks his signature onto it and gets up to leave, but one of the board members stops him to ask, "How do you feel after ruining the livelihood of 3,000 employees?". Sundar turns around and smiles at the board before doing the signature 'Vijay gum flick' and walking away in slow motion, queue the 'CEO in the House' song as Sundar heads out to celebrate acquiring the company. The scene is to establish Sundar as a proper overconfident and cocky 'corporate monster' instead of just telling us that he is a 'corporate monster'.
From there the movie continues pretty similarly with Sundar coming back to India to cast his vote, even though he takes his job very seriously he is still a patriot at heart and has a soft corner for his people. Same as the movie, someone else casts his vote and he begins organising lawyers meetings and press conference to get his vote back. All goes pretty much the same until the point Sundar's driver tells him about the atrocities done by the government and the family that set themselves on fire, Sundar is genuinely quite unaware of all this. Similar to the movie, he directs his convoy to go to the colony where the little girl is. Unlike the movie, we have one long take where the camera follows Sundar from behind as he gets out his car and walks through the local area, through the alleys and slums, observing the common folk; this is to show how out-of-touch he really is with reality. He finally comes to the little girl's house, and the camera finally pans to reveal Sundar's somber face; this scene is crucial as this paints his actions for the rest of the movie, it is important that we spend time showing how this incident impacts him. Unable to look at the girl's burnt face Sundar turns around and walks away, he signals his PA to sort the family out with treatment for the little girl.
From here, we go to the scene with Rendu (Radha Ravi) at the hotel; this will go pretty much exactly how it did in the movie. The only difference here is, going into the hotel Sundar is slightly solemn, but his expression slowly changes with Rendu's speech and we get the scene with the 'Topu Tuckeru' BGM as Sundar smokes. The following events also unravel similar to the film with the action block and the 'Simtaangaran song'; these are commercial filler compromises that must be made, its also a staple of the ARM-Vijay combo movies. The following scene is also similar with Sundar instigating the court case to stop Masilamani's inauguration, the key difference though is that Sundar doesn't speak in the court he silently watches from the stands as his lawyer does the arguing. Once the ceremony is stopped, he gets up, does the 'Vijay gum flick' and walks away in slow motion with the 'CEO in the House' BGM; this mirrors the opening scene where Sundar finesses the board room, but this time he's finessed the government. The election is postponed by 10 days.
Meanwhile, Masilamani is furious by what Sundar started, he encourages his party members to start rioting and to find where Sundar is. The riots go on for 2 days, but there is no sign of Sundar anywhere. Masilamani grows impatient and starts seeking advice from Pappa (Varalaxmi), who says that they shouldn't have tried instigated or started beef with him in the first place, saying that she will be back in Chennai within the next day or so. While this is happening, media crews have gathered outside Masilamani's house which confuses him. Rendu goes outside and asks them why they are here, for which they respond: 'Sundar told us to meet him here'. Both Rendu and Masilamani are shocked. Suddenly a convoy of youngsters on bikes arrive with a Rolls Royce travelling at the centre of the party. Sundar gets out of the Rolls Royce and he is followed by his lawyers. Sundar asks for permission to enter, for which Masilamani obliges. The two sit down and face each other, with Masilamani asking what Sundar wants. Sundar responds with this:

"I've got 750 youngsters who are ready to work for this party."
"I've got 40 crores in hard cash."
"I've got the tag of GL CEO."
"Will you let me join your party?"

Masilamani and his partymen are shocked, he asks Sundar 'Why should I let you?". Sundar basically responds by saying:

"Your party's image is in shambles, even if you pay people to vote for you, they won't do it. You're guaranteed to lose this election and there's nothing you can do about it. I'm here to offer you the winning card, I will do everything to ensure your party retains. All I ask for is 70cr in campaigning funds and that you give me 2 MLA seats and take in the 750 youngsters that I have brought as party members. If your party loses, I will pay you twice what you paid me as a penalty but regardless of the outcome you can't raise this to the media or I will sue your ass. If you agree, sign the contract. You can let your lawyers read over it, but you have nothing to lose."

Masilamani is shocked by this offer and looks over the contract, he doesn't know how to read so he passes it to his lawyer who verifies it and says that it's legit. Rendu proposes that they wait for Pappa before signing, but Sundar says "if you don't accept this within the next 1 hour, I will take it to the opposition party". Masilamani is properly checkmated now, but what could he possible have to lose? He smiles and signs it, Sundar smiles and shakes his hand. Sundar walks out with a cigarette in-hand, the 'Oru Viral Puratchi' guitar rift rolls in the background.
INTERMISSION
Going into the second half, we have a few questions:

Why did Sundar join Masilamani's party if they are the losing side?
Where was Sundar in the two days during the riots?
How did Sundar get the backing of all these youngsters?
How does Sundar plan on making the party win and how does this benefit him?

NOTE: I completely ignored Keerthi Suresh's character as it added nothing to my story.
With 8 days left till the election Sundar sits in his office, he calls his team and GL and tells them to run the ads of him giving the post press conference speech after getting back his vote (as he does in the movie). This creates waves in the media and makes him the poster boy for the coming election. He tells his PA not to organise any press conferences until he says so. Sundar has booked out a small venue where he will be speaking to the 750 youngsters that he has inaugurated into the party, this is where he finally reveals what happened in the last 2 days. We get a flashback and it is revealed that he ultimately did the same as what happened in the movie; to run an internet scan on all the most suitable candidates of each constituency and run interviews like a corporate company (I really like the idea of this), he positions the people he selected as independant candidates in their respective constituency. Sundar has been planning this since the scene with Rendu at the hotel; this all plays as a montage over the first half of 'Oru Viral Puratchi'. After the song we cut back to this speech with Sundar and the youth, where he basically says we are going to infiltrate this party from the inside and then he says the 'branding' dialogue from the movie (which I like the idea of, the mannerism was kinda cringe though).
Following the speech, Sundar enacts his next plan. He identifies Masilamani's candidates who are most likely to win in their respective area and launches a smear campaign through his influence over GL. This forces Masilamani to identify alternate party members to take their place, but Sundar presents Masilamani with the constituency polling data which shows that the independant candidates (that he selected based on the internet scan) are in the lead. Sundar suggests to Masilamani that they buy them out with a salary (also like corporate company), however Masilamani doesn't know that these individuals were planted by Sundar. Masilamani is beginning to get suspicious about Sundar's plan but he still hasn't fully sniffed it out yet given his lack of understanding about technology.
Pappa finally arrives in Chennai from Canada and confronts her dad about everything that has happened, she is shocked to find out that he has basically sold the party to Sundar. She is quickly able to deduce Sundar's plan based on the information given by her dad and Rendu. Pappa also reveals here that her husband was one of the board members from the start of the movie, which explains why she knows so much about Sundar.
Given that Sundar now controls most of the seats in the party, he begins his campaign from the background with candidates doing most of the work ; this plays over the second half of the 'Oru Viral Puratchi' song. As soon as this montage finishes, we find out that Masilamani has died. A confusion has now arisen as to who controls the party, with only 3 days left until the election. Pappa gives an angry press conference saying that Sundar had cheated her dad and stole the party, revealing the contract to the public. She also announces that she and her father's loyal supporters will be joining the opposition party. Based on the sympathy votes gained from her father's death the opposition offers Pappa a significant number of seats. Sundar is shocked to see what has happened, he won't be able to sue Pappa as Masilamani was the one that signed the contract (not sure about legal terms, but lets just go with it), suing her will also only get him more negative press.
Sundar gets a call from the GL board questioning him about his extensive involvement in politics given the bad press around his contract stunt. Cut to the next scene, Sundar is in a press conference and publicly announces his resignation from GL as he is about to leave the stage, he is heckled by one of the reporters on his way down. Sundar has to give up his company assets such as his PA and bodyguards, if he loses this election he still owes Masilamani's family 140crs as per the contract that he signed. For the first time in Sundar's life, overconfidence has led to his downfall. With two days left till the election and no internet influence and power, how is Sundar going to win?
The next day he posts a Facebook live and addresses his plan transparently with the party, this can be the same as the 'Idhu Namma Sarkar' scene from the movie. Sundar explains how he chose his candidates and compares it to the millions of college graduates who get a corporate job, highlighting the need for the government to be qualified. This gets some positive buzz for Sundar but not enough to win the election. As Sundar sits in his office, hopelessly, one of his candidates tells him about 'Saatai' Muthukumar (this plotline will be the same as the movie); this could be the ideal trump card to win the election. This ticks of an idea, given that all Masilamani's loyalists have moved to the opposition along with Pappa all the party assets now reside with Sundar. He hires a corporate auditing team to unpack all the party records and finds all the holes in there records this allows him to unpack the 'Saatai' Muthukumar conspiracy and he has all the evidence ready to go public... but he waits. Sundar contacts Pappa for a meeting and the two sit down, with lawyers present. Sundar reveals everything that he has found from his audit of the party and threatens to go public with it unless she voids their contract where he owes her family 140cr, he also agrees to sign an NDA. Pappa obliges and asks him to burn the evidence in front of her, which Sundar does. On the car ride home, Pappa orders for Sundar to be murdered as she doesn't trust him.
The next morning is the day of the election, similar to the actual movie Sundar begins tweeting from a fake twitter handle about the evidence pulled from the audit, leading the media on a wild easter egg hunt to put the evidence together themselves, this removes any paper trails that lead back to Sundar. Pappa and the opposition party struggle to manage the storm that has been caused by the tweeting, she knows this was done by Sundar but has no evidence to prove it; the only way for her save face is if Sundar confesses to his manipulation for which he needs to be alive, so she cancels the hit on him. It is soon revealed, similar to the movie that the fake twitter handle is associated with that of a dead man, begging the question of who is tweeting? Sundar and his team re-route the IP address of the tweets to the leader of the opposition party and spin the narrative that he did this to tarnish Masilamani's reputation as a leader, which leads to in-fighting. Pappa is furious, as although she knows the truth about Sundar's access to the evidence, she can't speak about it due to the NDA (which would open her up to being sued). With no other option, she plots to have Sundar killed, as it looks like he is going to win. We can insert an obligatory climax fight here, where Sundar overcomes the odds but realising an opportunity, he fakes his own death which increases the votes to his party, leading to a victory in the election.
The following day is the swearing-in ceremony as all the candidates take up their positions. Pappa is also present and she along with everyone else believes Sundar is dead. Just as the first candidate is swearing-in, Sundar arrives and sits right next to Pappa, there is a media frenzy happening outside. There is a small bit of dialog between the two and he explains why he did all this (i.e. reference back to the girl who was burnt outside the collecter's office, etc). He finally tells her that the contract he signed with her father was only for 8 days, so his time has expired and he is no longer part of the party. Sundar gets up and walks away in slow motion as the credit roll.
This is my reimagining of Sarkar, what are your thoughts and what would you do differently? And what movie should I do next?

Hey guys, I’m posting this here cuz I’m not sure what to do, I’ve tried my best to locate this long-lost uncle of mine but to no avail and so I wanna entail the help of you guys on reddit cuz you guys honestly work miracles at times. I’m looking for any sort of information on my late grandmothers’ younger brother.
I’ll give you a brief description of what happened.
In the 70’s, not sure exactly when, my grandmothers brother went missing. He had run away from home without informing anyone. No note, no clues, nothing. He left behind a wife and daughter. Worst part is my great grandma and great grandpa, who were alive and well at that time, never even filed a missing person report.
Here’s a brief description of him;
His name was Oscar Gonsalves, he was in his 30s or 40s when he went missing. His last known location is the family home located in Thangassery, Kollam, Kerala, India. He is of Anglo-Indian ethnicity. I’m so sorry but I have very limited information on him, my grandmother, this uncle’s sister, passed away back in 2018 before I could get any proper sort of information from her, my mom was a baby around the time of the disappearance and hence she doesn’t know anything. My aunty who was in her early teens at that time also doesn’t know much about him.
This uncle has 4 living siblings as of today, one of which I live close to. But the problem is that that aunty is nearing 80 and her memory is getting very foggy. I hope this post gains traction soon so I can get any sort of info from her.
There are 3 main rumors that I’ve heard which I kind of believe:

He was killed by members of his wife’s extended family. Reason for me to believe this is that I’ve heard from the almost 80 y/o aunty of mine that this uncle was hated by his wife’s family, they never really accepted him as a son in law and never liked him.
He ran off to Chennai (Madras at that time) and was killed by a rampant gangster and serial killer called Veerappan in Chennai. Reason for me to believe is that I’m kinda delusional and thought of this after watching a Netflix documentary on Veerappan. There is reason to believe this though, as it was very common for Anglo Indians in our locality to migrate to Madras to start over.
He ran off to Chennai and got onto a ship and set sail for Singapore from Chennai. Reason for me to believe this is that one of my aunt’s suggested this might have happened as he could have wanted to run away from any debts he had collected over the years.

I honestly find it very weird how this uncles’ family didn’t even care about how their son/brother just ran away and never came back. It make me think that they had a lot of differences and hence why they thought that him not being around was better than him being there.
I will try my best to get you more info (only if this gains traction) from my 80y/o aunty. I’m currently not in contact with the uncle’s wife or daughter and I don’t wanna get into contact with them just to ask them questions about their missing husband/father as I’m not sure how they feel towards him. I’m not sure if any of this info even suffices but I would love to find out what happened to him and maybe give some closure to my 80y/o aunty before she passes away or honestly, closure for me cuz this thing has been irking me for a WHILE.
If anyone is able to help, thank you so much in advance.
Okay so I just got some new info from my mom, even though she was either not born yet or just a baby at the time of the disappearance, she knows a bit of the family lore.
So, turns out this uncle was married twice.
His first marriage was with a woman named Claire (sorry don’t know her maiden name) and they had a child together named Sabrina. This Claire and Sabrina currently live in Australia. Claire is apparently 16 years older than Oscar.
He left Claire and before he could run away (don’t know how long before) he got married again. The second wife’s name, my mom doesn’t know BUT he had a daughter with the second wife as well whose name is Jacqueline. This second wife and Jacqueline currently reside in Chennai.
I study away from home but I will be going back in 2 weeks, I’ll have a chat with my 80y/o aunt and try to get the second wife’s name from her if possible.
Hope this new info is of some use.

I have a nephew and he is 5-6 years old. He is unable to walk or stand properly from his birth. He has some serious issue with with spine because whenever he tries to stand (even though unable to stand) his upper back and back of neck gets bend in a upward parabolic manner.
I don't have his pic, but by description can you identify the disease and suggest any good hospital in India to cure it? Let me know even if it's curable or not.
P.S. - His parents have visited Apollo Chennai and NIMHANS.

I (34F) recently had my bachelorette trip away. I've been looking forward to My maid of honour (34F) knew that I wanted a warm and sunny bachelorette. She had my list of friends I wanted to come and those were my only real requests.
She procrastinated planning it for quite some time (months) and then finally had it planned for May of this year. She said I didn't need my passport which was disappointing because I had mentioned I wanted to go somewhere out of country. We live in Canada and it's not warm and sunny here until late June/early July.
I had to pack everything from rain gear, fancy outfits, athletic wear and multiple shoe options. No bikini.
The first stop of the trip was at a lake hike. Within a few minutes of beginning our hike, the path turned in to complete coverage of ice and snow. Slippery and cold. I have knee issues (previous major knee reconstructive surgery) and I can't walk on any kind of slippery surface like that. Within a few minutes I had to call it quits. Everyone else looked so disappointed. Me, being the people pleaser that I am said for them to continue the hike if anyone wanted to. I would head down to the lake. My MOH asked me a few times if I was sure... and I said yes because 1- I didn't want to ruin the moment and 2- I felt bad. Looking back on this now I wish I wasn't put in this position to begin with being the bride. If it was someone else's party no big deal. But this is supposed to be for me.
I kept a positive attitude and made the best of it. We carried on to the house. The girls made it so special and great. I was settled in and having the best time!
The next day we had a fun activity planned that's been on my bucket list so I was looking forward to it!
After halfway through our activity my Mom and Aunty surprised me. My MOH had coordinated this surprise and it was quite sweet. I was a bit thrown off though because I definitely made a point to say that I only wanted it to be my girlfriends...
All was good. We carried along and had fun. The girls and I went for appies and drinks and then we went back to the house to meet up with my Mom and Aunt. Everyone was having drinks and getting in the fun mood to go out.
My MOH also made a few remarks over the weekend about my other girlfriends that didn't sit the best with me and weren't necessary to say to me. Things like "I didn't realize your friendship was like that with so and so" or "why do they other girls not wait for us like we should all be together". We had two separate vehicles so there wasnt complete being in sync every minute. Which I wasn't super bothered by. My MOH also buddied up to one friend (34F) the whole weekend and I felt like they were kind of in there own bubble the whole time which was a bit annoying.
That night we all went out. My Mom ended up getting way too drunk and kind of ruined the mood of us at the bar hop. I was upset and my friends tried to lift me up but I was also stewing inside because I didn't have my Mom on the list.
We ended up going home late and my one gf (34F) and I were walking a bit behind the group and once we caught up they all (including my MOH) were on bikes programming them. I asked if there were bikes for us and they said oh I guess not and kept programming there bikes. I was really upset. My feet were sore. My knee was hurting. I was super emotional about my Mom and her drunken state and now I was pissed because my friend and I had to walk back (20 minutes uphill in the cold windy weather).
I broke down on the walk back and cried. Saying I was so upset, who plans a bachelorette in May when it's cold and that I was pissed at everyone and that I had bitten my tongue a few times about a few different things. Clearly emotional and spouting off a bit more than I should have. We got back and I locked my door and went to bed. I knew I didn't want to talk to anyone and I was so upset I just wanted to sleep.
That night my gf (34F) who I walked home with and vented to, ended up telling my MOH and girlfriends everything I had said. I felt awful. I also felt really betrayed that she told everyone everything I said in that emotional moment... I feel like I can't trust her at all now. I apologized to all my girlfriends and explained why i was feeling ways that i was and all of them seemed to understand and accepted my apology and we moved forward. My MOH took it really personally, got defensive and became really emotional about it all.
I feel like I cant trust my one gf who aired it all out anymore and don't even want to say anything to her again.
I don't really know where to go from here right now. My MOH said she should've just let me plan my own trip. I thanked her for everything and explained why I felt a few certain ways but that so many aspects of the trip were amazing and that I was so grateful for everything. She kind of just pushed that away. She said she wants to just move forward and that our friendship foundation is strong... but I don't love how she became so defensive and disregarding of my feelings.
I'm in a great place with my Mom aunt and other girlfriends. We're all adults and we were able to talk about everything and move forward in a sincere way.
I feel really lost about my friendship with my MOH and the gf who aired it all out. These were the two who also buddied up to eachother the whole weekend quite obvious and exclusive.
TL;DR Bachelorette didn't go quite as smoothly as I hoped, I became emotional and friend vented out my feelings.
Update- MOH response to me expressing my feelings to her, I feel like she's just not taking any ownership and priding herself on doing her best with the best intentions?-
Morning, we did discuss most of these points over the phone and my understanding was we agreed to move forward and past this. At the end of the day, I know I went into this with the best intentions and again I’m sorry that the experience wasn’t how you anticipated. I’m happy for you to take the time and space you need.
