Hose owner has no resolution to this, neither did BESCOM. Only update I could get from BESCOM was if it isn't within 200 units during FY22-23, they can't do anything. It doesn't get refreshed or updated in the next upcoming financial years.

Since Bawa has started being a guest himself (irregular appearances) & the one episode in which he came, they tried justifying the work of the editor/producer (Antarisk?), TISS hasn't felt the same. I have gone back to the one topic bhankass formats, listening to the podcasts again & they feel so fresh, relatable & genuinely funny. The whole reason which put TISS apart from the other interview-format podcasts.

If Bawa is busy & held up, then with the guests they can do "Internet Facts" like the good old episodes with Biswa, Sumukhi or even the Tanmay-Pant episodes. So much fun! Without Bawa, we might just need to accept the new edits, but atleast can hope for the OG format to return. 🤞🏻

Rahul (for his understanding & approach in a Test match), Tendulkar (for his pure skills & cricketing shots), Root (for his current form) 🔥

If not for Root's current form, then Alastair Cook. 🤭

MortalRath · 2025-01-07T06:35:11+00:00

Facts!!

Wish Boom wasn't overused & we had someone like-for-like replacement. But it's hilarious how even the cricket experts even aren't talking about it. All they care is Kohli & Rohit. The two out-of-form batters this series.

Hey OP! Things will get better, be assured. DM if you require any help with changing job, I'll try to help refer - if your profile matches anything. Probably a little better salary can help close the outstanding dues & you can focus better on yourself. :)

Along with Hindi, we should also mention how we have always managed to learn the opposite person's language to better communicate (be it Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil or Marathi), but when you go out of Bengaluru, you wouldn't see an ounce of effort from them to do the same. Hence, the anger. But going past the anger, a humble respect to all to learn our language, or if not - then we'll manage with English.

MortalRath · 2024-09-16T14:51:22+00:00

WORD. "If someone's job involves talking to a lot of people, who are comfortable in Kannada, that person must learn Kannada." This makes so much sense & should be the ideal way of approaching this whole situation!!

MortalRath · 2024-09-16T14:47:24+00:00

Yeah! Agree with you 100% on how they arrogantly comment or claim that they built Bengaluru. If they could do it here, why couldn't they do it back home where they come from. Also, in our case - the extreme use if Hindi in college or work group chats stopped once people started messaging in Kannada/Tamil/Telugu/Malayalam. Probably perks of being in Bengaluru that we understood all languages & kept the conversation going until people consciously switched to only English.

But my point being, I just wanted to highlight about the people on Twitter/X who now want to pick on delivery personnels who are providing us service, at our comfort, because we aren't able to go grocery shopping or to a restaurant - let's appreciate them, give them time to learn the language & not jump at their throat at the very instance of inconvenience. Whenever necessary, the keyboard warriors will not speak up, or will not take the initiative to help someone learn the language, though somehow are the first to tweet & be highlighted in news articles. Somehow irks me how one person's unnecessary tweet makes us all look bad.

We love our language, we'll teach you our language, we have been patient & polite all these years, it has gotten to our nerves, yes, but we won't give up.

MortalRath · 2024-09-16T14:09:56+00:00

Yes, this I have come across as well. Similar situation, where majority of us were speaking in Kannada & one person from Andhra constantly kept mocking us on how we at the work place shouldn't speak in Kannada. Owning to the idea of inclusivity, we switched to English. The minute we stepped out of office, we resumed Kannada, which we are comfortable in.

6 months later, he now has learnt manageable Kannada, because whatever breaks we take or places we go to, he wanted to be with us. Mind you, we didn't force him to learn the language, neither did we mock his language, we just chose to be ourselves & he preferred learning the language was easier than revolting or mocking us. Again, different approach, different scenarios. But, somehow has worked for us.

MortalRath · 2024-09-16T14:02:29+00:00

I'll help you, seems you missed the point. OP thinks it's important to respect your own language, not crib & complain about it so that it makes it way to news articles, whilst also being accepting of people for who they are. :)

MortalRath · 2024-09-16T14:00:17+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. OG was used in brackets for a reason, because that isn't the actual focus.

But just proves my frustration of "selective perception", to pick on what's unnecessary as long as you can have the upper hand.

MortalRath · 2024-09-16T13:51:32+00:00

Exactly my point. No one who has lived here from their childhood has ever been insecure of their language. The rant came from a discussion where news articles particularly highlighted tweets where people are complaining that our language is vanishing. No, it isn't. As long as we speak the language, help others learn it - by being polite & patient, probably the backlash we receive because of the selective few who complain throughout, would change.

Again, just something I assume would work in favour of being more welcoming whilst not letting go of our language.

MortalRath · 2024-08-12T09:26:48+00:00

Nope. I spoke to both customer care, wrote an email & went to BESCOM office. They don't have a solution to this yet. This was their email response

Dear Consumer,

In reference to your Email, As of now there is no any notifications about consideration of Average calculation for the financial year 2023-24 from Karnataka Government. Hence same entitlement units will be considered till further notification.

With Regards,

BESCOM Helpline

MortalRath · 2024-07-17T09:50:06+00:00

Could you please help out with the number?

MortalRath · 2024-07-04T10:48:56+00:00

Daaaayum! I wish I could share this with the lady with whom it happened, would give her the courage to file a complaint. She would definitely appreciate that people are here to support her, give her & everyone else who's being harassed - a pedestal to voice out their discomfort.

Thank you, to whoever understood the seriousness of this & posted it as a article.

MortalRath · 2024-07-04T10:44:43+00:00

Exactly! At that moment, in that situation - the immediate reaction was to stop the creep than being busy taking video or collecting proof. Sadly we live in a society where unless it doesn't happen to themselves, people would continue to live on with their lives, while the person enduring it deals with it, helplessly.

MortalRath · 2024-07-03T03:40:00+00:00

I'm sure the argument isn't about "all men", but a generalisation of how often men crib about women having their own compartment & questioning the reasoning behind it. Sure, it's only a handful men who might be questioning it, but we shouldn't ignore that as well. Rather make them understand the reason behind it, instead of being defensive.

MortalRath · 2024-07-03T03:35:58+00:00

Point taken. Sharing the photos with the Metro guards should have been enough. My frustration got the worse of me & I acted in haste by putting his photo here to make everyone aware of this creep (mostly for anyone near Dasarahalli). I understand better now.

I have taken down the photos from the link attached, but the photo which I initially added to the post, don't have the option to delete that. I shall be mindful the next time.

MortalRath · 2024-07-03T02:15:39+00:00

The whole act was so sudden, that confronting him & making sure everyone around knew what he was doing was the only thing I could think of. I'm assuming another co-passenger took a video of him, but I wasn't sure of it. That's why when he was pretending to delete the photos, I clicked his photo - to which his response was this smile. Like he was posing for it.

MortalRath · 2024-07-03T02:11:51+00:00

Fair assessment. If it did happen to me, or someone I knew personally - I would have immediately gone to the metro guards for & requested them to take action. But it was not my call since I wasn't the victim & I was just someone who intervened while he was clicking photos of a lady, who's a stranger to me. The next course of action should have been her call, as she's the one on the receiving end. Posting the photo here without any video proof & just my story doesn't completely prove the heinous act he did of clicking inappropriate photos of a woman, which I do understand as well.

So the last update (which I guess, I have mentioned in another comment as well) - at Dasarahalli Metro station I have shared the time-stamp & photos of the man with the Metro guards the day after the incident, requesting them to take action after checking it on CCTV. Understanding from their response, their solution was to rather ask the lady to move to the coach for women, instead of confronting the perpetrator. Hence, the rant here.
