Kya Scene?

Anyone with an iitr.ac.in Google account, including department subdomains like ee.iitr.ac.in. One account per address. Shared or role mailboxes are refused.

Your email address is never displayed anywhere on this site — not on your profile, not in a message, not even on your own settings page. Outside the login system itself, the database keeps only a salted hash of it, which exists to stop the same address signing up twice and cannot be turned back into an address.

Public to anyone in discovery: your username, your bio, your interests, the languages you speak, and the personality tags your answers produce.

Private until you choose otherwise: your full name, age, year, degree, branch, bhawan and your photos. These are never in a discovery card and never attached to a profile. They travel one field at a time, per conversation, and only when both people have offered the same field.

Never shown to anyone, ever: your email address, your raw answers to the personality questions, and how the app groups you internally for conversation limits.

10 short scenarios, one at a time, each with four ways to answer — pick whichever is closest to how you'd actually react. Nothing is pre-selected, so you cannot click through them without reading, and nobody ever sees an individual answer, not even you once it is saved.

Each of the four options on every question is tied to the same trait throughout: crowd-warm, planner, heart-first, or independent spirit. Whichever you pick most becomes a tag — a clear lean, not just a plurality, so someone whose picks spread evenly across all four gets no tag at all rather than a made-up one.

• Crowd-warmComes alive around people and new faces
• PlannerWants it settled, and shows up when they said they would
• Heart-firstReads the room fast and says the thing out loud
• Independent spiritKeeps a full life and routine of their own, partner or not

On someone else's card each of their tags is marked against yours: the ones you share are pointed out, since “you both...” is something to open with. There is no opposite to point out — a tag you don't hold just isn't shown, not flagged as a clash.

They are original scenarios written for this app and they make no scientific or clinical claim. They label a card and order a list, nothing more.

First a hard gate, applied in both directions: their gender must be one you said you want to meet, and your gender must be one they said they want to meet. Anyone who fails either half is not shown to you at all.

Whoever survives that is ranked by a match score: 50% for being a preference match at all, 30% for interests you have in common, and 20% for how close your personality dimensions are. It orders the page and does nothing else.

Your gender is used to match you with people you're compatible with. It isn't shown on your profile, but who you appear to will imply it.

You can see and change your own answer any time on your profile — it is the one thing that decides who reaches you.

You get one message, up to 1000 characters. Nothing else can be sent until the other person accepts.

If they accept, the conversation opens for both of you. If they reject it, or either of you ends it later, it is permanent: the pair never reappears in either person's discovery and the request cannot be made again.

How many conversations you can have open at once depends on how the app groups you, which is worked out from your gender and your preferences: 3 for straight men, 10 for everyone else. It exists so that inboxes stay answerable rather than becoming a numbers game.

An open conversation closes itself if 5 days pass with neither of you sending a message — same result as either of you ending it on purpose: permanent, gone from each other's discovery, and it can't be started again.

Inside a conversation, each of you has a list of fields: full name, age, year, degree, branch, bhawan and photos. Ticking one means “I am willing to share mine”. It does not show you theirs.

A field becomes visible only when you have both ticked the same one — and then it appears for both of you at the same moment. Untick it and the site stops serving it immediately, though anyone who already saw it has already seen it.

Photos work the same way. They are never in discovery, never attached to a profile, and are delivered through links that expire after 60 seconds. Location and camera data are stripped from every upload before it is stored. You have one, and it is resized on the way in.

There is one button, and it does the strongest thing: the conversation closes for both sides, you disappear from each other's discovery, and they cannot contact you again. They are not told that you ended it — from their side it looks the same as any other ending.

Reporting someone is separate and quiet. A moderator reads it; the person you reported is never told who reported them.

Found something broken instead of someone to report? Report a bug goes to the same moderator inbox, with nobody's name attached to it either.

Deactivating hides you from discovery and makes your existing conversations read-only. It is reversible.

Deleting is not: your profile, photos, answers and your own messages go for good. What the other person wrote to you stays theirs, and you become [deleted user] in the conversations you were part of.
