Blind date: ‘We had a good foundation in common interests'
LILA J.: 25 / teacher Her exes say: She's a woman of action. What makes her a catch: She can give a great massage. 7 P.M. MARCELINO'S, BOSTON Seating Arrangement Arpit I hung out with friends beforehand to keep myself distracted. Lila I took a shower and got ready. Arpit Marcelino's was within walking distance for me. I was first to arrive and the host led me to a table. Lila The host brought me over. Arpit was tall, dressed nicely, and had a friendly face. Arpit I thought she was super-cute. She was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and gold earrings. She had a necklace with her name in Arabic. She also had some pretty arm tattoos. Advertisement Lila They had seated us at a weird table where we had to sit next to each other, but I think they caught that that might be strange for a first (and blind) date, so they moved us to a regular face-to-face setup. Celestial Talk Arpit We talked about a large range of topics. She's applying to be a high school history teacher. Lila He works in data analytics and lives close to the restaurant. He studied astronomy in college, which I thought was very cool. He's also been to 29 states. The waiter noticed my necklace was Arabic and asked me if I spoke it, so that sparked a conversation about our family heritage (my dad is from Egypt and his family is from India). Advertisement Arpit She worked helping people get their green cards, which I found attractive being an immigrant myself and having to go through that process. Lila We talked about the immigration system, since his family immigrated and I used to work in immigration law. Arpit I got the Arak chicken skewers. Both the drink and food were fantastic. Lila The cocktails were very creative. I enjoyed the parsley one, and Arpit ordered a watermelon one that came with feta cheese foam. I got the cauliflower dish and it was very tasty. Arpit We had a lot in common and she seemed super interesting. Lila Our conversation didn't have a lot of flow, and I felt like we were both working a little harder than we should have needed to to keep it going. To me, that felt like a sign that we probably wouldn't get along long term, even though I did enjoy meeting him. Star-Crossed Daters Arpit I thought we had a good foundation in common interests and stages in life, and was interested in a second date, but she didn't seem interested. Lila We were considering having another drink, but he didn't seem super excited about it, and neither was I, so we got the check. Arpit I would have recommended a walk along the harbor front as it's very gorgeous, but she felt like she wanted to leave. We said goodbye, and walked opposite ways. Lila He asked if I would want to go on a second date and I said probably not, but that it was nice to meet him and I'm glad I had the experience. Advertisement Second Date? Arpit I would've been open, but it doesn't seem like it'll happen. Lila No. We didn't exchange numbers. Grading the Date Arpit / I'm not one to give grades. Lila / B Go on a blind date. We'll pick up the tab. Fill out an application at Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @dinnerwithcupid.

All about Vishal Mega Mart security guard job drive; here's how it started the biggest meme fest
Job trends at Vishal Mega Mart: What started as a routine recruitment drive by Vishal Mega Mart has unexpectedly turned into a nationwide online sensation. The retail chain, known for its over 700 stores across India, recently announced a massive hiring push for thousands of security guards. While the goal was to boost their workforce, the Internet had other plans. Social media users quickly latched onto the announcement, turning the security guard role into a cultural moment packed with satire, memes, and humorous commentary on India's employment scene. Phrases like 'Ek hi sapna – Vishal Mega Mart security guard' and 'Vishal Mega Mart chowkidar first attempt fail' started popping up online, mimicking the language used by aspirants of India's most competitive exams like UPSC, NEET, and IIT-JEE. What was once just a retail job suddenly became the centre of memes, jokes, and viral reels. The spark was Vishal Mega Mart's large-scale call for applications — an open invitation for thousands of security guard positions across India. The recruitment details, once circulated on WhatsApp groups and social platforms, caught fire. What intrigued people even more was the structured selection process: a written exam covering current affairs, English, and local languages, followed by physical training, medical checks, and preference for candidates with experience, martial arts skills, or shooting training. Vishal mega Mart security guard job context !🫠 — Arpit (@arpitsrivastvv) May 17, 2025 With the country already burdened by job shortages, the idea that even a guard's post required such competitive filtering hit home, albeit with a heavy dose of satire. The seriousness of the process, all very real, became the perfect material for meme creators. As the trend picked up steam, memers unleashed their creativity. Fake coaching centres offering 'Vishal Mega Mart Security Guard Prep Classes' started appearing in parody posts. AI-generated memes flooded Instagram and X, including one where Virat Kohli and Cristiano Ronaldo were spotted wearing security guard uniforms outside a Vishal Mega Mart – a perfect blend of absurdity and brilliance. Reels began showcasing mock training montages and exaggerated selection drills, and some creators even spoofed classic 'first attempt fail' motivational videos. A post shared by Shubham Sanjay Chavan (@shubseditz) With God's grace I secured AIR – 2 in Vishal Mega Mart Security Guard Exams 🥹😭🤌🏻🧿♥️ — अkhil✨ (@bas_kar_oyee) May 17, 2025 Vishal Mega mart Security gaurd batch 2025 By Jaan Sir Patna — Divyanshu Tiwari (@divyaaanshuu) May 17, 2025 Vishal mega Mart guard supremacy — 𝘼𝘿𝙄𝙏𝙔𝘼 𝙅𝙃𝘼 (@adityaverse_) May 16, 2025 Me entering my village after getting the job of Security Guard in Vishal Mega Mart: — Nikhil (@Risenik) May 19, 2025 Vishal Mega Mart security guard supremacy 🔥🔥 — UmdarTamker (@UmdarTamker) May 17, 2025 Vishal Mega Mart main security guard ki job ke liye aapne certificates dekha te huye : — gogi bhai (@justedit4u) May 17, 2025 The humour resonated deeply, but beneath the jokes lay a sobering truth: India's job crisis is so intense that even entry-level roles can become symbols of aspiration and struggle. Salary figures shared on job portals like AmbitionBox and Glassdoor added more context — freshers earning Rs 9,000 to Rs 12,000, experienced guards making Rs 13,000 to Rs 18,000, and supervisors getting up to Rs 25,000. Added benefits include PF, medical coverage, and staff discounts.
