Left old iPhone in an Uber, possible extortion Names, genders and relatives changed for privacy. Last week in RR Nagar, I left my backup phone in an Uber. It was an old, beat-up iPhone 8 from 2018—not worth much and pretty useless since it couldn’t run UPI. I realized it was missing two hours later while hanging out with my friend, Kavya. I didn’t get a “Find My” notification on my watch or main device. When I checked, the phone’s location showed JP Nagar, confirming I’d left it in the Uber. I immediately turned on Lost Mode... 4 5 replies

Cubbon Park Metro Station: Harassed for Choosing a Bike Ride: A Disturbing Experience with Auto Drivers I booked a bike on Rapido today because it was cheaper, and while I was waiting, an auto driver approached me, asking for my drop location. He then made a derogatory comment, questioning why, as a woman, I would choose to ride with a male bike driver. Offended, I confronted him, saying, "What the hell do you mean?" When my bike arrived, the situation escalated—he and other auto drivers tried to take the bike driver’s key and accused him of causing trouble, even though nobody had asked them to... 5 10 replies

Why Does Living Here Feel So Difficult? I’ve been reflecting on some struggles I face daily, and I’d genuinely like to hear your thoughts. Every day feels like a battle, and it’s draining to deal with the constant challenges around us. Public spaces are chaotic—reckless driving, litter everywhere, and zero civic sense. Hygiene seems to be nobody’s priority, and scams feel like the norm rather than the exception. For people like me, belonging to a lower-middle-class Muslim family, these challenges feel compounded. Opportunities are denied, housing is refused, and sometimes you’re treated differently just because of... 3 10 replies

Goons tried to stop us in electronic city We were traveling to the electronic city at night in an Uber when, out of nowhere, a car tried to stop us. Six drunk men got out of the car and started complaining to the driver, claiming that he had abused them. At first, we asked the driver to reverse and speed up, but they overtook us and continued to scold him. Thankfully, a truck driver stopped, and two other cars also stopped behind us, so the goons eventually left. One of my aunts thinks that the driver might... 1 10 replies
Detained by Bangalore Police Over Old Photos – Were My Rights Violated? Hi, I had a really unsettling experience today with the Bangalore police, and I’m wondering if what they did was even legal. Here’s what happened: A friend of mine, who had previously been in lockup, told the cops that my other friend and I smoke weed (which isn’t true). This friend called us to meet at a spot, and when we got there, undercover cops detained us. They took our phones, searched through them without consent, and even demanded access to hidden settings on my iPhone. While going through... 1 10 replies
What just happened? I was driving my bike near Madivala market and one guy asked for lift till the next signal, I thought why not and asked him to get on. As soon as we started he started pushing bike towards sidewards and was being very heavy. I got confused and I asked him to get down saying I got some work at the market. After he got down he said he was from RPF something and wanted to see how bike drivers are(in Kannada). He clearly doesn’t look like an educated... 3 10 replies
Thoughts on what happened at Cubbon Reads today? Just came across the incident that happened at Cubbon Park today. What was supposed to be a delightful Secret Santa event organized by Cubbon Reads, took an unexpected turn when officials from the Department of Horticulture intervened, confiscating books and reportedly behaved in a manner that can only be described as rowdy. Heard that they also insisted on filing an FIR and a fine of 35K. Now what happened today raises several questions about the freedoms we enjoy in public spaces, the role of government in regulating such activities,... 4 10 replies
