Homes for mentally challenged Hi everyone Our newly hired househelp has an almost 30 year old son who seems to be having mental issues after surviving a sucide attempt a few years back.

He also searches for any and all tablets that are kept at home and consumes them. They are currently consulting doctors at NIMHANS. Are there... 1 1 replies
Rise of Transgender extortion gangs in Bangalore My father recently opened a shop in Bangalore and these transgender people came on the inauguration day asking for money. My father gave them money that day. But ever since then, they keep coming in rotation demanding for money everyday. It’s been almost a month now.

What can we do here? It seems... 3 11 replies

[Rant] Bengaluru Traffic Police: Challan First, Safety Later Here’s what happened to me recently: I was on Whitefield ITPL road, heading towards Hope Farm on my bike. The traffic was crawling, and just after Pattandur Agrahara metro station, there’s a small cut near Brigade Bhuwalka Icon that leads to ECC Road.
