No Bangalore District in Kaveri website while filling address for Marriage Certificate. After you select state as Karnataka from the drop down, the district drop down gets populated. Only Bangalore Rural is in the list, Bangalore is not in the district list. This makes it impossible to apply for Marriage Certificate as I won't be able to provide the address. I want to provide Whitefield as my address. Anyone knows if this issue is temporary? 1 0 replies
Do people ever cut their maid's salary? Need to know because - I genuinely consider myself a fair person. I've helped her get her abha insurance, given her bonuses and things that she asks for. I don't mind giving leave when it's a couple of days. Its normal - everyone needs a break - but when she takes a break of 10 days - isnt a salary cut warranted? It's literally 1/3rd of the month. Why do I get the guilt trip of - oh no one else cut my salary, why did you cut it,... 1 0 replies

Unspoken 'Toxic Culture' in Indian Corporates Four years. Three unicorn startups. Multiple cities. And yet, here I am, sitting at my desk, wondering why *this* part of corporate life feels like navigating a maze blindfolded. Let me vent—because maybe I’m not alone? 1. “Hindi hai, bro? Cool, let’s switch.” Imagine walking into a meeting that starts with a polite “How’s your day?” in English, only for the next 30 minutes to dissolve into rapid-fire Hindi. Jokes fly, ideas bounce, and you’re just…nodding. Not because you agree, but because you’re lost. You’re South Indian, Northeast, or... 4 0 replies

Rash and negligent driving by Defender I request mods to approve this post. I came across a post about a tragic accident on BTM Layout, Ring Road, which appears to be a hit-and-run.

Someone threw a stone at me today, could have died Happened in HSR layout today. Was walking by and was hit by a big chunk of solid mud ball. No construction site nearby and no accident.

I couldn't see who did it and people around me just walked past. Was clearly done with intent. Super strange and disappointing, as is the roads are broken and unwalkable.

We’re Getting Ripped Off—Paying High Taxes for Nothing But Sh*t Roads and Empty Promises! Today, as I was driving my scooty, I came across a massive hole on the left side of the road. It was so big that I couldn’t help but notice it, yet everyone else just sped past it, myself included. But as I rode by, something inside me really struck a chord—why is it that no one seems to care? How is it possible that something so basic, like a road, can be left in such a terrible state? We pay taxes, don’t we? My dad, for example, pays... 3 4 replies
