Walk-Ins & Introductions

Hello, I'm Rahima, 45, a nurse from Nagaon, Assam. I joined because my daughter said 'Ma, talk to some people who won't gossip'. So far, so good. Be kind — I've had a long shift.

Hey, Thoibi here, 20, from Imphal, professional overthinker and part-time student. I came for the anime rooms and stayed because nobody here asks 'so what's your plan after college'.

Hi from the river city

Hi, I'm Ritu from Guwahati, moved zero kilometres for my first job and it still feels like another planet. I design app screens all day and miss Ma's masor tenga all night. Say hi if you also grew up thinking the Brahmaputra was just 'the river'.

Hello — I draw for a living, which means I'm rich in unfinished sketchbooks and poor in stable income. Bhubaneswar boy who talks to strangers far better on paper than in person. This anonymous thing honestly suits me perfectly.

Hi — 26, support engineer, professional debugger of things that were perfectly fine yesterday. Odia boy far from Ma's kitchen, trying to build a life one 6am gym session at a time. Genuinely glad this place doesn't need my real name.

Retired last winter after 34 years at the bank counter, and now my whole day is cha, the crossword, and arguing about football with men who already agree with me. Someone told me there's an adda here where you don't even need a face — arrey, that's exactly my kind of place.

Builder who came back home

Ex-Bengaluru product guy now building edtech for Bihar students from a Patna flat. Married, caffeinated, mildly terrified. Here to swap notes with other builders, dreamers, and anyone who thinks small towns deserve big products too.

An old amma says namaste

I am 52, I cook for a living now, and my granddaughter set up this account for me. Forgive my typing. If you are a hostel child missing home food, come talk to me. I have plenty of blessings and plenty of recipes.

Fresh meat from Darbhanga

First-year engineering, Maithili boy lost in Patna hostel jungle. Fluent in memes, One Piece lore, and finding the cheapest thali in a 2km radius. Here to make internet friends since my roommates are all asleep by the time I'm bored.

Johar from the sal forests

Oraon boy, forestry student, first in my village to reach college. I speak to trees more easily than to strangers, so this is practice. Ask me anything about Jharkhand's waterfalls, birds, or how to survive calculus.

Adaab, from an old Patna gali

Lecturer by profession, poet by insomnia. I read Urdu, teach English, and defend my single life at family dinners like a debate champion. Here for people who love words and understand quiet defiance.

Hi, frontend girl from Doranda

First person in my family to code for a living, which my relatives find both impressive and suspicious. I build web pages by day and sketch by night. Here to vent, cheer, and steal momos-and-chill recs.

Namaskar from Gaya

Magahi speaker, history nerd, on my third run at the exam that half of Bihar is preparing for. Here to find people who get the loneliness of self-study. Chai's on me if you're ever in Gaya.

Hello, main Kavya, Jhansi se. Mere ghar mein college jaane wali main pehli hoon, toh thoda darr aur bahut excitement dono hai. Papa auto chalate hain aur bolte hain 'padh le beta, hum sambhaal lenge'. Unke liye hi yaha hoon.

Namaste beta, main Sushil, ek sarkari primary school ka master from Gorakhpur. 22 saal se padha raha hoon. Yaha aaya hoon kyunki mere students ab bade ho gaye hain aur mujhe naye doston se seekhna hai. Purana ped bhi nayi hawa maangta hai.

Salaam, I'm Meher from purani Lucknow. I write greeting-card lines for money and shayari for no money. If you ever want a nice sentence for a birthday message, I'm your person, seriously.

Namaste, I'm a returning-to-work mother of two from Faridabad, originally Aligarh. I may be older than most of you here and slower with the tech, but I make excellent chai and I'm a very good listener. Happy to be somewhere I can just be Sunita again.

Hello! First-gen hosteller from Guwahati, here mostly to overshare about anime and quietly miss my mother's aloo pitika. I promise to be the friend who remembers your birthday. Be nice to me, I'm still figuring out the metro.

Hi, I'm here because at home I have to perform confidence I don't feel. Left a Kanpur bank job to attempt civils, everyone thinks I'm brave or foolish and some days I agree with both. Just want a corner where I can be honestly tired.

Sat Sri Akal, main Harleen, Amritsar toh. Homemaker for 20 years, now a home-baker still figuring out this phone-shone. Kids are grown, so now I bake and I lovingly meddle in strangers' lives online. Come say hi, I'll offer you virtual cake.

Hi everyone, main Ravi, 19, Jalandhar se. Preparing for IELTS, working part-time at my uncle's shop, and secretly want to start a vlog one day. Here to practise my English and meet good people. Be kind, I'm still learning.

Sat Sri Akal from a Bathinda pind

Sat Sri Akal ji. My name is Baldev, 52 years, I do farming near Bathinda. My son downloaded this app on my phone and said 'Papa, talk to people.' So here I am, learning. Please forgive my typing, puttar, these fingers know the tractor better than the keyboard.

buddhi amma is online

Namaste beta, I am 62, a retired clerk from Sikar, and my grandson set up this account before scolding me for typing too slow. My children live far, my husband is gone, so I came to talk to young people and feel less quiet. Be patient with an old woman learning new buttons.

salaam from the blue lanes

Salaam, I print cloth by hand in a workshop where my dada printed before me, in Jodhpur's old city. My English is thoda toota-phoota so forgive me, but my chai is always ready. Aa gaye ho toh baith ke jao.

hi from pink city

Hi, I'm a NEET repeater from Jaipur living in a PG that smells permanently of Maggi. I came here because my study group turned into a comparison group and I needed a corner where I can be scared out loud without being judged. Be kind, I'm running on chai and hope.

Noor, staff nurse in Bhopal, mostly on night shifts. I've held a lot of strangers' hands at 3am and learned that most people just don't want to be alone in the dark. Here to talk softly, and maybe hold a few more hands, digitally this time.

Jashan, first year, Indore hostel. Certified sleep-deprived engineer who games considerably more than he studies (please don't tell papa ji). Here for the gaming, the anime debates, and moral support during backlog season.

Zara from Surat — I turn fabric into feelings and reels into orders. Self-taught boutique owner who films sarees on my own terrace because studio rent is frankly a scam. Ask me anything about drape, sourcing, or plain stubborn hustle.

Nikunj here, Ahmedabad. Chartered accountant by training, reluctant founder by accident — I bootstrapped a small software company instead of retiring quietly into practice. Happy to talk numbers, mistakes, and why 'funding' is not always the answer.

Devansh, Bhopal. Third attempt at MPPSC, second-hand books, first-class dreams. If you're also living exam to exam and pretending it's fine, pull up a chair here by the jheel with me.

Namaste, Komal from Indore. I run a small tiffin service from my own kitchen — twenty dabbas a day and slowly growing. My food feeds a lot of homesick students, so I've quietly become everyone's Indori mummy.

Kishor from Surat, originally Amreli side. I polish diamonds all day — small stones, big rent, you know how it is. Not much of a phone person but thought I'll try talking here a little.

Hi from a chronic doodler

Hi, Riddhi here from Ahmedabad — design student, chai addict, and I still get lost inside my own college campus. I doodle through boring lectures and call it 'observational practice'. Say hi if your notebook margins are also a crime scene.

hii i'm a very normal pune college student, if 'normal' means 3 tabs of assignments and 40 tabs of anime wikis. i cosplay sometimes, i draw badly, and i will absolutely fight you over best studio. pls be nice to me.

First person in my family to reach college — I still remember stepping off the ST bus in Amravati with one steel trunk and my mother's pickle. My father grows cotton; I'm trying to grow into someone who makes him proud. Hello, everyone.

Namaskar, beta. I've taught Class 8 English in Nagpur for twenty-six years, and now my own students send me reels I don't fully understand. I joined here to listen more than to teach — all of you have so much on your minds.

the girl on the 8:12 fast

Hi, I'm the girl who writes catchy taglines for brands you'll never buy, then cries quietly in a Virar local. Six months into my first job and Mumbai has fully digested me. Here for chai-level honest conversations, nothing fancy.

From a Vizag fishing family

Hi, I'm from a fishing family near Vizag and the first in my house to finish 12th. Doing a marine diploma now, and the dream is to work on the big cargo ships one day. Nice to meet you all.

Namaskara from a Hubli classroom

Namaskara, I teach 4th standard in a government school near Hubli, 22 years now. My niece said even aunties are welcome here, so here I am, putta. Be a little patient with my typing.

Found words after 55 years

I spent 33 years counting other people's money at a bank in Mangalore, and only after retiring did I discover I had poems waiting inside me all along. I am 55, my house is quiet, and I am finally loud on paper. It is never too late to become who you were underneath the job.

Just a Mangalore aunty who bakes

Hello children, I am Flora, 41, and I bake cakes from my little kitchen in Mangalore. My son said this app is for young people, so I told him old people also have feelings and free time. If you are hungry or sad, you have come to the right aunty.

New here, be patient with me

I am 63 and my grandson set this up for me, so forgive the slow typing. For 38 years I taught Malayalam in a school near Kozhikode, and now the classroom is quiet, but I still like to hear how young people are doing. Consider me the mash in the back bench this time.

Hello, everyone. I am a retired teacher, sixty-three, recently learnt to use this on my own — quite proud of myself. My children are abroad, so this old lady is looking for good conversation. Do be patient with my typing.

Allwin, 19, from a coast town near Kanyakumari. First in my family to go to college, still figuring out everything. I know anime, the sea, and not much else yet — teach me things?

Hi, Deepa here, Madurai. Preparing for govt exams for three years, officially unemployed but unofficially the busiest person I know. Here to find people who get the grind.
