This stuff is SO insignificant in the context of the rest of your life. It took me like 5 or 6 years and 3 different colleges (1 of them twice) to get my degree. It was a waste of money, and has had no impact on where I am now in life; which is actually in a pretty good place. That said, I completely understand how this seems like the be all end all of your world right now. Just realize that that is because of your age, and that will virtually vanish as you progress through life and gain perspective. I also completely understand that all of that probably won’t make you feel any better right now.

Yes!

Best economical shade trees to plant near a home in Kerala, India:

1. Indian Almond (Terminalia catappa) Fast-growing, wide canopy, beautiful layered horizontal branches. Deciduous in Kerala’s dry season, so you get sunlight in winter. Bonus: Leaves have medicinal uses, and the nuts are edible.

2. Neem (Azadirachta indica) Hardy, pest-repellent, medicinal, and provides good shade. Less lush-looking than others and may thin out in extreme drought. Bonus: Leaves and bark are naturally antibacterial.

3. Rain Tree (Samanea saman) Rapid-growing with a massive canopy—perfect for sitting or playing under. Widely used in parks and schoolyards. Needs space and should be planted away from the house due to wide roots.

4. Indian Beech / Pongam (Millettia pinnata / Pongamia pinnata) Shade-giving, low-maintenance, and soil-improving thanks to nitrogen fixation. Bonus: Seeds are rich in oil, traditionally used in lamps and now in biofuel.

5. Jackfruit Tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Excellent shade and yields large, edible fruit. Can be too large and heavy for close proximity to windows or footpaths. Best planted a bit farther from the house.

Bonus: Coconut Palm Very common and useful. Provides filtered shade rather than dense cover. Can be dangerous near homes due to falling coconuts—best at the edge of a yard.

Top Recommendation for Quick, Wide Shade: Rain Tree – Fast growth, huge umbrella canopy, great for kids to play under. Just give it space from buildings.

What are the barriers to acquiring and using say, a regular window air conditioning unit?

I think humidity in India is generally rather high?

I feel like there aren’t a lot of chimneys in India, but I don’t have the wherewithal to defend my assertion.

I was super tired and sleepy most of the day, and I don’t know why. I did afterwards manage to bake a loaf of bread, and go grocery shopping, and I have a second loaf that will be ready to bake tomorrow.

As to your last question: It would almost certainly not be worth it.

I’m fighting the same battle, because I am in a quasi-leadership role now, and I have to say the examples of positivity and optimism, when my instinctive reactions to most things are rolling my eyes and sighing because “Ugh, not this shit again.” Is going to be an uphill battle. The funny part is, I’m never actually upset. The more problems get thrown my way, the more excited I get to solve them. Unfortunately I have this very odd habit of presenting my excitement in a way that everyone else in the world understands to be frustration and negativity.

I am part of a new team created to bring order to the chaos that resulted from a disorganized wellbeing company merging with an even worse health plan administration company. I am in a constant battle to help people understand the byzantine complexities of the systems powering our stuff, and encourage and facilitate open communications between teams and departments that until now have each had their heads buried in the sand, with zero interest in understanding how their work contributed to the whole. Also I come up with better ways to do all these things. I think businesses Analyst position responsibilities probably vary widely by team and company though.

Engineering Business Analyst. I need to learn SQL though
