Don't buy from Samsung Store. Lowball exchange and cheap shenanigans TL;DR: don't buy from Samsung India online or offline store. They will not even give you close to website quoted figure for your trade in phone at time of actual purchase. And if you purchased online and think of rejecting the order when they try to under-price your trade in phone, you will get charged Rs 2500. Background: my friend and I wanted to buy the Samsung S25 Ultra and saw the deal on Samsung website was the best. He pre-ordered from Samsung India online store while I waited... 1 0 replies

Sincere Request - To improve road safety It's honestly pretty chaotic on our roads and I have a open request for all of you to please follow these. Because as they say, change starts with you. Pedestrians: I know we don't have a decent infra for Pedestrians so crossing the road anywhere is common. But please don't do that on roads where vehicles are moving at high speeds.

Suicide in dayananda sagar nursing college [https://keralakaumudi.com/en/news/news.php?id=1474858&u=another-malayali-nursing-student-commits-suicide-in-karnataka](https://keralakaumudi.com/en/news/news.php?id=1474858&u=another-malayali-nursing-student-commits-suicide-in-karnataka) [https://publictv.in/nursing-student-committed-suicide-by-hanging-herself-in-ramanagara/](https://publictv.in/nursing-student-committed-suicide-by-hanging-herself-in-ramanagara/) This incident happened the night before this post was made. All I want is for this to gain traction. It would be better if the authorities were pressured to investigate the reason behind her drive to end it all. As of now, there isn't any credible information. The admin of our college's confession account is getting DMs from students who claim to know more. 3 3 replies
Magic Pin... Not so magic Long post alert!!! So this happened a couple of days back. My husband had placed an order at Connie's steak house through the Magic Pin app. After almost 45 minutes of wait, we realise the delivery partner (let's call him A) assigned, has now been changed and we have a new person (B) assigned. By now, it's almost an hour of wait since placing the order, so we called up the delivery partner and B tells us that he's almost at the restaurant and it's not his fault that... 5 5 replies

Suspicious Flipkart incident this morning This morning, I received a call claiming to be from Flipkart (Truecaller even showed it as genuine). The automated voice asked if I had placed an order for flip-flops and instructed me to press 1 if yes or 2 if no. Since I had no idea about any such order, I didn’t press anything. Strangely, after the call ended, I received a notification saying the order had been placed because I didn’t respond. This raised red flags, so I immediately checked the Flipkart app. To my shock, an order... 1 5 replies
Bangalore's Rising School Fee every year Is it normal for schools in Bangalore to raise the school fee every year by a minimum 10%. How is this allowed by law and how are parents OK with this business? I want to get a wider perspective, is this something common with all schools in bangalore or is just a few schools? The school fees is already high starting from pre primary at around 1.2 lac/year. Why are schools such a corporate business here? They charge exorbitant fees, then ask for the entire years fee or 6months... 4 19 replies
Rant on horrible living condition Just a rant: Dear Builders, Please stop construction. Rampant construction noise in any big city, with poor road and traffic condition, people using cars more for status and less for need - all of these have contributed to poorest form of air that we are breathing today.

Two Wheelers tailgating an Ambulance Saw a bunch of 2 wheelers tailgating an ambulance through peak Silkboard traffic. The lengths people go to save exactly 3 min and 13 seconds in their commute. These are the people who one can’t trust with anything. Zero empathy. When will we get to a place where road rules are stricter. It’s not even education anymore when a flipkart employee is zooming in almost touching the ambulance behind it. 5 6 replies
Is not having Occupational Certificate (OC) very common for Apartments in Bengaluru? I have seen multiple apartments where the owners are not given the OC by the builders across Bengaluru and many of them are pending since almost a decade as well that does not allow the residents to even apply e-Khata. In my experience in other cities as well, residents are not liable legally to pay maintenance amount also without OC but here all builders are usually charging the same and people are widely cooperating with them as well but nobody raises any concerns. Further, the RWA takes amount in... 4 2 replies

Advice for staying alive in Bangalore Don't drive two wheelers... that's it.. that's the advice. Seriously, after watching 4 crashes in last two days (Mysore road) where two wheeler drivers are tossed like a piece of bread on the road due to inconsiderate idiots in Creta, Thar and blind bats who open right side doors without checking who or what is behind, BMTC drivers competing with other BMTC buses on already jam packed streets. Just don't drive two wheelers it's not worth your limb and life. 2 20 replies
