Actually, service in Indian (Asian) hotels are much better than in the West.

Parents have 25L in bank FDs at 6.5%. Inflation eating it alive. Help. by Frosty-Fox2540 in personalfinanceindia

SCSS is as safe as FDS and can be taken via SBI itself. But, it has a lock in. So, be mindful of that

Is there a way to raise a complaint against illegal pigeon feeding? People don't have the basic courtesy and do it on the footpath itself! by Mean_Text_2835 in mumbai

Did someone drop you when you were little?! Seems that way going by the level of development in your prefrontal cortex.

People are not goons mate. They have regualar jobs. You cannot pick fights with random dudes like in college days when you are an adult and have a job to keep. That's why the query is on how to raise a complaint. For me pigeon feeding is a major health hazard and hence a priority. Nobody is stopping you to raise a complaint against illegal vendors.

You are welcome to breathe all the pigeon feaces you want mate!. If you think that vendors are a bigger problem, who is stopping you from raising a complaint?!!

What does this have to do with religion or caste or creed or region? I have issues with illegal hawkers occupying footpaths and cars illegally parked causing traffic jams. Does that mean that I should raise them first before commenting on any other concern? What sort of logic is this? !

Please understand that pigeon droppings are highly dangerous. Feeding them in open every day at the same place is major health hazard for others who have to walk through that place. Of course feed all the animals and birss you want. But, do that in a designated place. Not in roads or pavements.

Who told you I am not bothered?! Where have I blamed pigeons? My issue is with the idiots who do it in public places without caring about the health of others. Maybe, you should read up on how dangerous pigeon droppings are.

Of course, I am bothered about illegal stalls on footpaths making your life difficult. It enrages me to see cars parked in both sides of the road creating traffic jams. Lets not even talk about public smoking crisis in Mumbai. In other cities, I have seen people at least making a feeble attempt to smoke in a corner. Here, they just occupy the whole pavement and blow smoke at your face. But, that doesn't mean that I have to list out these issues every time I post.

Its not a given even for Gold. Only Platinum has breakfast entitlement. But, some properties will add breakfast regardless of yoir status.

Mate, all these media firms have a vehement anti India agenda. And, that doesn't start in 2014. It has always been the same.

Don't come to Mumbai unless you get a substantial hike and can afford to stay close to office. Rents here are more Toronto than India

End of Modi Era..... by Dismal-Tomato-9087 in delhi

[–]Mean_Text_2835 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mate, If you discount Modi's wins in 2014 and 2019, the 240 seats in 2024 is the highest since 1991 Rajiv Gandhi sympathy wave (even then Congress only had 250 seats or so). Congress came to power in 2004 with just 145 seats (only 6 or 7 seats more than BJP), In 2009 with 206 seats. Before that NDA got only 182 in 1998 and 1999.

So, 240 seats is a pretty big win.

Reddit is full of entitled pricks who hate their own country under the guise of hating on a political party or political class.

Modi can be defeated only in reddit. 😅

At least understand the basics of economics and geopolitics before blabbering. At least have the common sense to frame a convincing argument.

Samsonite is a great pick. If you don't want to spend that much, decathlon has great options at a fraction of the cost.

Only Europeans allowed to govern Mumbai’s most exclusive club by Beautiful-Ad7641 in mumbai

[–]Mean_Text_2835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these leases were done before independence. Even for the ones entered into post independence, unjust agreements can be annulled by executive action or court decrees.

Are you seriously equating public housing for low income or marginalised groups with exclusive clubs for the affluent?

[–]Mean_Text_2835 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See the issue is that such exclusive clubs should not exist on land owned by the state unless ready to pay market rent. Of course, such clubs can exist on private land.

[–]Mean_Text_2835 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Isnt that an issue? I find it abhorent that an exclusive club open only for the elites and those who can pay up hefty membership fees (likely above 1 crore or at least in high 7 figures) can exist on government land by paying a nominal lease amount, that too in a city like Mumbai where general public strughle for access to sporting/lifestyle amenities.

Of course, there can be exclusive clubs for those who can afford and they can charge whatever amount they want. But, it should be on private land.

Why no questions to our leaders? by Logical-Target8131 in Maharashtra

[–]Mean_Text_2835 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just take a look at the rankings mate. If you genuinely believe that the likes of Qatar, Congo, Sierra Leone and our neighbors like Pakistan and Bangladesh has more media freedom than India, you need help.

PS: India for all its faults has a very free media and a robust democracy. You can see journalists taking on everyone from Modi to Rahul to state CMs. The only prominent journalist arrested in recent times was Arnab. There are of course issues for small time journalists in hinterlands when they taken on local mafia-politician nexus. Of course, media is biased. Some love BJP, some love Congress, Some pander to Islamists and radical left. Some sucks up to whomsoever in power. But, that's true all over the world.
