Address in India: Floor 2, The Phonix, No 2A, Hayes Road, Shanthala Nagar, Ashok Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560025

The salary package was too good to be true ..but ..there was nothing regarding the company on social media....not even positive reviews.. I would like to help other people too to get out of this if it's proven as a scam.

Zepto's new ways of tricking you in paying more money

Today I ordered from Zepto and the total bill amount was 315 Rs. I was carefree about the delivery charge as I have availed Zepto pass. To my surprise I was still charged with delivery fee of Rs. 30 despite my order value being greater then the threshold. Tunrs out you need to manually click on a " Apply Coupon" button every time, when you order, to get free delivery. And that too I have to expand a separate section where the billing details are written and obviously the "Apply Coupon" option is smartly hidden in that section.

Be cautious while ordering or avoid Zepto completely.

My college has CCTV camera in boys' washroom.

Yes, you read that correctly. There is a CCTV camera installed in the boys' washroom, positioned at the upper end of the space, allowing it to clearly capture most activities. However, private areas are not visible due to the urinal dividers obstructing the view.

I am a student of *** ********* ** ********** affiliated with Bangalore University. It is a very strict college with a lot of rules (don't talk to girls, don't walk in groups, parents need to inform prior before being absent, PTMs, minimum of 90+ attendance or you will receive notice blah blah blah) with severe consequences (they don't take the rules slightly, even a single rule is broken you will get a hours worth of lecture from the principal). I don't really mind the rules but the camera in washroom is what bothers me, it is placed to reduce crowd gathering and other activities (you know what happens in boys' washroom) but it's still uncomfortable to use the washroom. So is it ok to violate Right to Privacy in order ensure displine. I am uncertain whether I should report this matter to the concerned authorities. So what should I do?

Terrible neighbour

I live in a rented house in decently large and posh society in Bengaluru. I have a nicely placed house in this society with good view access and sunlight etc. From past couple pf months, my neighbours dog has been annoying the shit out of me and my sleep cycle. Dog is a St Bernard or some big breed. Morning 6.30, 7 and 7.45 this dog barks for good 5 mins.

I have requested the owner to keep his glass door closed atleast during morning but that man is extremely hostile, started to abuse me and asking me to leave the society and talk to my owner etc. No use talking to him.

He is bigger than me so would probably beat the shit out of me if it goes that way.

I dont want to move, he doesnt have any friends whom I can ask to talk to him. He basically thrashes his wife so no point asking my mom/wife to talk to his wife he would probably thrash her even for that.

I spoke with my owner to talk to this douche. No change.

What other options do I have? He is an owner, Im a tenant here.TIA!

Need some advice regarding a company

Hey all, hope you're doing well! Just wanted to ask a quick question. So there's this company where I've been interviewing for a job located in banaswadi- Ankercloud Technologies Pvt Ltd

Any idea if the company is legit or not? I've checked the website everything seems fine there but when I look at the "office" building, it seems to be built in a residential complex. I've seen even smaller startups open in an office complex. (I'm assumin a company with international clients can do that). So I was just curious if anyone here can help me out with it.

Thank you so much!

People are making a living out of Booking badminton courts in advance.

Not just roads, there are unnecessary blockages to play badminton too.

There is a girl named Padmini, she has multiple booking all around courts in HSR Layout till Jan 30, but she never turns up to play. Literally feels like a P.I.M.P. Bumping up the prices and forcing 6 players in a 1hr game.

This really causes inconvenience as such pimps usually book the peak hour slot. Does the same practice follow in other neighbourhoods?

Explanation- Cost of 1 court booking- 350 Cost taken by pimps- 150*5= 750

P.S. calculation is for weekdays, weekends its even more.

Road conditions in Bangalore

Note: please don’t comment the obvious that this is India and things will not change. Let’s find a solution together. Not a rant on the current conditions, we all know roads are very bad here. Major reason for that is the quality of materials used, and expensive contracts being given for superficial repairs and this goes above any government/political party I feel. All are these corrupt people. My point is to start a movement towards more accountability from the government and/or our local representatives and government officials. Can we start an anonymous group or email where we can send official emails to the chief minister office about the conditions of the roads and demand actions against contractors and government officials who made them. Ask them why it got damaged so early and seek an official reply? Is there any group or NGO we can constitute ourselves and collectively ask for answers?

HSRP Website Issue?

I booked HSRP number plate for my 2 wheeler through bookmyhsrp website. After multiple attempts, I was able to make the payment and book a slot to get it installed. I received the confirmation SMS for the same, and have been receiving timely updates as well via SMS. I thought of downloading the receipt, but everytime I click on Download option, the website just throws a 404. I have logged a complaint via the website but no response yet. Can I just show the SMS to the dealer on the day of installation, or is the receipt mandatory?

How do I stop dogs from chasing me when I'm on an EV

Right, I ride an ather and it makes a noise that provokes an entire dog colony for some reason, and it's overwhelming to ride after 10-11 pm since the roads are kinda empty and a group of dogs try to run me down when they hear the noise.

Atul Subhash Case Update - Nikitha Statement taken by Marthalli Police

Wife Nikitha gave a shocking statement in front of the police, stating, “I am the real victim in this case.” She alleged that her husband, Atul, forced her to cook non-vegetarian food, despite her not knowing how to prepare it.

Nikitha accused Atul Subhash of torturing her to cook non-veg dishes and said, “Even though I didn’t leave the house despite facing so much harassment, it was my husband Atul who drove me to leave.” She added, “He would insist that I cook only the dishes he liked. He would come home drunk and assault me, claiming the food wasn’t made well. There are many things I haven’t even spoken about.”

Nikitha held her husband, Atul Subhash, responsible for her current situation and shared these grievances with the police.

How to request BBMP to build a footpath?

There is no walkable footpath at Jalahalli Cross towards Ayyappa temple. There is only a road, and next to the road is a deep pit without any barricades formed by the demolition of a property an year ago for an underpass that sees no sign of construction.

The situation is so bad that you'll have to stop at red lights as well because there's literally no walkable space remaining and you will have to wait for the vehicles to move so you can walk.

Has anyone worked with something like this before?

Scams in Malleswaram

Has anyone else noticed an increase in strangers knocking on doors recently?

For example, one person came by claiming we should close our windows because of honey bees, saying they were trying to remove nests. However, we’re certain there were no nests anywhere nearby.

Today, a woman came to the building trying to sell socks and wouldn’t leave even after being told to go.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Should not Autos run only on meters in Bangalore if autodrivers doesn’t want rapido.

I am coming across lot of post and videos where cab and auto drivers are harassing Rapido drivers. The auto driver threatens Rapido drivers that there is some rules from court, two wheeler hiring is not allowed. Then same is also applicable for autodrivers, as per law they should charge only according to meter, nothing extra. Make that first without meter we would not take auto. As citizens we should ask every auto driver that they should agree to run only on meter in Bangalore else they should not create trouble for Rapido drivers.

Do you feel beggars, child beggars and transgenders have increased in recent times?

Last weekend, I visited Asha Tiffins in Brookfields. Several groups of family beggars—typically a husband, wife, and an infant—were actively begging from everyone entering or leaving the restaurant. What stood out was their aggression; they even started cursing if someone refused to give them anything.

Later that evening, I went to Nexus Shantiniketan Mall and saw the same family group there, repeating the same behavior. I’ve noticed similar groups near Spice Garden Layout as well, and on multiple occasions near Nagarjuna in Marathahalli, where groups of children often beg. And need not say about the skywalks. It always filled with beggars. And some in the name of god as well.

Another observation: I’ve recently started noticing transgenders within the Spice Garden Layout. I’ve been residing in this area for almost two years, but this is something I’ve only started seeing in the past few months.

Have others in the area noticed this too? It’s becoming more frequent and raises questions about how these situations are being handled.

KSRTC quality and comfort issue.

Not a rant but an experience and observation. Travelled today via the electric bus (ev plus) thinking it would be comfortable (assumption based on the pics). Entered the bus shit looks like it wasn't cleaned for more than a month. It had some dirty sock smell, the seats looked dirty everything felt below par. Talking about comfort one of the most uncomfortable vehicle ever. Seats are very slippery and fsr it causes a lot of neck and back pain even after reclining it.

Also these buses are 1y old buses and somany damages in the interior and exterior. But this bus is fast af. The ashwagandha,Airavata and rajahamsa is much more comfortable than this.

Edit: I have a KTM and the picture has a Maestro scooter

Police verification for minor

Bellandur police is asking us to go to the police station on a working day (both parents are working) for passport verification of 11 month old baby. I thought the norm was for them to visit the home address ?! Or is it a Bangalore thing? Also are we supposed to pay them ?! I’m seeing posts mentioning they call us there to pay them??

Update : My husband went to the police station with the documents and they finished it pretty quick. No cash involved. No baby, no mother. Hope we get the passport soon.

Thankyou so much for the inputs everyone! Looks like we’ve all had a mixed bag of experiences with this!

I am absolutely done with the sound

So l'm a student preparing for neet, living in akshayanagar. There is construction work going on right in front of my apartment and the workers have resided in a shed right next to house. The family wakes up at sharp 5.30 am and there is constant sounds of the kids and babies screaming and crying and it's been a constant pain in my ass. I have slight insomnia and issues with my sleep cycle so I can't sleep early. Sleeping at around 3 am I am being woken up around 5.30am in the morning. l've told them to shut the fup ffs but they just won't do it, and at 6.30 am loud construction work starts. Now again after warning several times they are not budging. What is the laws on the timings for construction work according to bbmp? What can I really do in this situation? My dad is currently out of station. I don't want to deal with this situation in a hostile way by him sending people to shut it down. Please help me with what I can do.

This situation and all the chapris, wannabe rowdies, drivers with IQ less that the air pressure in thier tires has totally cooked me and I want to leave this city and country Just read about another situation in r/Mumbai where the builder is a very rich goon and the police asked the society committee to not lodge a complaint as he may come after them for sure. (I am a native kannadiga, don't come after me in my dms.) im shifting to Mysore the bare chance i get.
