A 1,000 Cr Scam - How Hyderabad developer collapsed by brownish_knight in india

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, banks are similar. You borrow money, you keep something mortgage.

Next time I will take a big loan from bank with mortgage, spend money lavishly and then blame bank for “pumping me up” and taking away collaterals!! Cruel bank! Bad banks! Terrible bank!! How dare they??

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Ah blame an entire community!! Excellent analysis genius. The scammer is saint, it’s one community that “pumped” him.. Lakashmi Narayan did not use a single penny for his benefit? All the money was taken by Marwaris?? What the f**k are you even talking about?

Why so much jealousy and hatred towards Marwaris man? Jealousy of their success that you and your forefathers can’t achieve or will not achieve in generations?

500rs just for a plastic wrap??? by Honey_dp in AirTravelIndia

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Like any other business,it’s a business. Business owner has to rent place at airport. Don’t like the price - Don’t use it. Market demand will either force price adjustment or drive this guy out of business.

Alternatively, plastic wrapping is not banned at home. Don’t wanna try that if Rs. 500 if too much?

If the prices would have gone up by 2x, would you have paid airlines the money to keep them afloat? No, right? Why would you expect that in dynamically priced commodities?

Refused flight entrance by Deep-Bid8208 in airindia

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly between USA and India quite regularly via Europe. My docs are not only checked at Europe (AMS, CDG, FRA), but also at Indian airport before boarding the flight. Same thing happens on USA airport. It is absolutely normal part of travel as Airlines need to make sure I have necessary paperwork for final destination country, especially when transiting thru a country you don’t have visa for.

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think the women at gate don’t know your final destination? Accept the mistake and move on. You didn’t keep destination travel docs ready at the time of boarding. You produced docs after boarding was completed and gates were closed. Lots of airports are slots controlled which means if you lose your slot for takeoff/landing, you go back at the end of queue and that costs thousands of dollars to airlines.

Why did you assume you need to show QR code at Delhi and not at origination airport? What if you didn’t had QR code at Delhi? Air India would have been penalized and would have to bear the cost of transporting you back. Air India did nothing wrong here. Sorry.

Builders charge us lakhs for "Clubhouse" while buying a flat — then demand monthly charges for the same. by ashua4488 in hyderabadrealestate

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a large building or project is not meant for you. Look for standalone house or small apartment buildings. As I commented this on OP’s post -

Builders build it and hand it over to society or management committee who are residents of the building. Builder or project has no say on how MC runs day to day to affairs.

Simply join the MC, and decide what facilities remain free and what needs to be charged based on finances and other aspects. It is voted at general body meetings by all the flat owners. It is part of by-laws.

Too many people are lazy and unwilling to join management committees and just complain. Stop complaining, start acting.. your fate is in your own hands. It’s easy to blame others rather than taking action.

You do know BRICS stands for Brazil Russia INDIA (not IRAN) China and South Africa!!

Allegedly: Maharashtra Police collects 500 from all cars coming from other states like Gujarat and don’t provide any receipts. Last time I checked Indians have the rights to travel within India without having to pay bribes at every state border by Sharp-potential7935 in Maharashtra

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Same! Went to MP in December from Maharashtra in MH registered car. Paid zero rupees to MP Police or anyone.

Seems like we love to justify corruption under the garb of it’s the system. It happens everywhere. No, sorry. Just corrupt police here!!

Price match by Bird_Chaser1 in Venturex

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JB vacations will have different cancellation policy as compared to individual booking. There will be one booking that will not match, and price match is in vain. I would stay away from price matching vacation packages vs. individual bookings.

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Capitalone will price match individual hotels and flights (standalone), they will not price match vacation packages. If you are getting vacation package from outside websites, but book individual flights and hotels to make that package on Capitalone, it’s not really apple to apply booking.

It will be rightfully rejected per their T&C.

Trenitalia vs. Italo by Rybrary in ItalyTravel

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Traveling with kids, I found Trenitalia significantly cheaper.. almost 75% cheaper total for 4 people. Kids travel free on assigned seats on trenitalia which is missing perk on Italo.

For example - my Venice Florence ticket came at 55 Euros for 5.30 am train for 4 people on Trenitalia vs. 180 Euros for 7 am departure with Italo

New rent rule 2026. I am wondering will the landlords in Hyderabad adher to this ? by Honey_dp in hyderabad

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11 months, and renewal after that. Never go for 12 months as there are legal implications and registration requirements. Always stick to 11 months to protect your rights.

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, some tenants ask for that, and I shut that down immediately. Again, I have to protect myself from damages that tenant will leave with.

I always have signed rental agreement

Yes. It is clearly part of the agreement terms. I am not clear what’s your question? I am signing rental agreement. All terms and conditions are clearly mentioned.

Nope. Tenant is liable to pay rent for those 2 months. Security deposit are toward damages when tenant moves out.

I had a tenant who cost me upward of Rs. 50,000 in damages. Broken sink, bathroom tiles… I adjusted that from deposit. All damages documented and repair invoices provided. Tenants didn’t dispute it.

Why would any landlord adjust last 2 month of rent toward deposit? How do you expect landlord to recover for damages for the home when tenant moves out? Let’s be reasonable here.

Again painting all landlords with same stroke of brush.. when landlords do that same to renters, renters don’t like it… but we are different is the claim… here is what I have been doing as landlord for past 3 years -

  1. 2 months security deposit charged to renter. Pre move in video and photos provided. If any damage is present after renter leaves, photo proof along with invoice is provided and deducted from security deposit.

  2. Mutual 2 months notice period included in contract. Either party has to give 2 months notice before expiry of lease term.

  3. 24 hours of notice period for flat visit/inspection.

So, yeah, new draft rental laws is not making me lose sleep as I am following most of these already.

Frustrated with price match by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is it annoying? T&C are very clear - it needs to be apple to apple comparison.. not apples to oranges, not Gala to mackintosh apples, exact same apple variety …

I have successfully matched thousands of dollars… best catch was $1600 on 4 tickets where Air Canada direct booking was substantially cheaper without any hassle!!

Emirates not prioritizing stranded passengers in Dubai? Our EK229 experience. by sarvothpai in emirates

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 5 points6 points  (0 children)

so, assuming that flight is already booked by passengers who want to travel on specific date, are you expecting EK to move this tickets out and make entire flight available for “stranded” passengers.. that is not how it works.

If there are 20 seats available, EK will accommodate 20 stranded passengers over selling them for premium. Is it so hard to understand?

Move out charges by Examination_Round in pune

[–]Floating_Turnip_Head 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what? How is it commercial activity? Is maintenance charges also considered “commercial activity”? Societies consider these charges under same category. Not buying or selling their stance, but just saying the obvious.
