How it works
Three steps, no name
- DM @samosa.meets.chai on Instagram. Start the message with “CONFESSION:” so it doesn’t get lost between fest passes and canteen tips.
- Add your campus and year if you want, like “RVCE, 3rd year”. That’s the only detail we print with it, and only if you include it.
- We read every one. The ones we pick go up here, trimmed for length, with no name or handle.
🤫
Straight talk: Instagram shows us who sent a DM, the same as any DM. Your handle never goes on the site, in a caption or in a screenshot, and we never share it. Want more cover? Use a spare account.
The rules
What we won’t post
- Names, nicknames, photos or any detail that points to a real person. That includes “the tall guy in ECE section B”.
- Anything meant to hurt someone for their body, caste, religion, gender or sexuality.
- Accusations of harassment, ragging or any crime against someone who can be identified. Those need a real report, not a post: see the helplines below.
- Exam leaks, cheating tips or anything illegal.
What we’d love
Canteen crushes. Hostel chaos at 2 AM. The fest that changed your mind about your branch. The thing you wish you’d told your first-year self. Small wins nobody clapped for.
If it’s more than a confession
Confessions aren’t a helpline. If you’re not okay, call Tele-MANAS on 14416 or 1-800-891-4416. It’s free, open 24 hours a day, and you pick your language when you call.
If you’re being ragged, call the National Anti-Ragging Helpline on 1800-180-5522, also free and 24×7, or tell your college’s anti-ragging committee.
📊
How we run this: we don’t write confessions ourselves, and we only edit them for length and to remove anything that could identify someone. See yours and want it taken down? DM us and it comes down. Nobody paid for this page.
