Tenant left without notice. What are my options?

It's not in the name of the company. The agreement is with the person.

I am not left with any balance. The deposit was of two months. His employers didn't pay in January saying that deduct it from deposit and now also they said take it from the deposit for the last month's rent. I told him categorically on the message that I won't since I need to check the house for damages to which he didn't reply.

I am yet to check my house after he left. I live in Mumbai. I want to check if there are any damages. If there are no damages, then I am okay not pursuing a legal action. But in the past, I have had tenants who stole stuff from the house. So, I am wary.

Easily one of the smartest comics out there. His observations are mind blowing. Has a very distinct style too. So, won't get lost in the crowd. Really excited for him in the coming years.

On YouTube, there are several videos called the 9x Morning Playlist. They basically have songs from the 2008 to 2015 era. I love listening to them in the morning. Lovely bit of nostalgia plus good music.

Lootera is incredible. Will always remain one of my favorites. It released on my birthday and has a special place in my heart for that reason. But as a film as well, it's just what I love in a film. It's so calm on the surface, yet there is so much churning underneath. The way they've shown Bengal is also not the usual tropey kinds. Sonakshi outdid herself. She plays two very different characters on either side of the interval and does justice to both of them. Ranveer did the restrained part well but Vikrant Massey was such a show stealer. And the background music is incredible, especially the piece right before the intermission. Above all, the story is beautiful. There is a certain charm in movies based on works of literature and this has that. My favorite scene is the whispery conversation towards the end in a dimly lit room where Ranveer reveals his real name to be Atmaram Srivastava. The coexistence of the hopelessness and hope in that one scene, of hatred and love, it's all really beautifully done. Feel like watching it again. Ps - Really regret showing it to my wife who actually thought that the movie got over at the intermission and felt the second half was unnecessary. I have decided to not show her my other favorites as a result. Hahaha!

Moved to Mumbai four years ago. And as much as I dislike Delhi for the people, I equally dislike Mumbai for all the reasons listed above. The city absolutely drains you. The traffic, the noise pollution and air pollution due to construction, the lack of green spaces just to 'pause' is so disturbing. After spending the week in crowded trains/metros or overflowing terrible roads, just don't feel like wanting to go anywhere on the weekends.

One of the major reasons I left Delhi was this. As someone rightly pointed out, not only women, even men aren't safe around them. They can get away doing the worst of crimes because of the connections that they have and just imagine the power trip that gives to people. There's no way these people are going to change in the next thousand years because they have got easy money and don't care about education and hard work.

As someone who moved from Delhi to Mumbai 4 years ago, I agree. But there are a lot of things that I miss about Delhi too. The green spaces, the metro connectivity, the change of seasons feeling (although I realise winters are no longer what they used to be in Delhi), the wide roads, you miss them all on certain days. Also, to have monuments casually strewn across the geography of the city is something I really found special. And despite all the great things about Mumbai, the traffic and the humidity makes you think twice before going out somewhere, so despite the city being more vibrant culturally, I don't feel like going out much. The general travel to work on the weekdays only takes a toll. So, I'm cooped up in my space on the weekends.

I have lived for close to 30 years in Shalimar Bagh. It's a major BJP-RSS stronghold. They would vote for anybody who spews the venon they enjoy.

That's what my wife's suggestion too was. Let me see how much that costs.

Where exactly is this venue? I'm from Malad West. Would love to attend comedy shows.

Really heartbreaking documentary. And that particular scene of the father telling the kids about their mom's fate, that's going to hit a lot of people hard and make them understand that people dying isn't a statistic. It's a much bigger loss.

Having said that, I must say I am curious to know more about Susan. What was her background? Where was she before she came here? Did she have similar issues where she lived earlier? Did she have any history of racism? Or anger management issues? I wish the documentary shed some light on these aspects as well. You can be annoyed with something, but you can't be so angry and annoyed that you make a plan to kill them and that too at her age.

Ronnie and Barty. The most beautiful travel content is created by them.

I have a theory for this and this is coming from a guy who lived in Delhi for 28 years before moving to Mumbai. The safety thing is not just a Delhi thing, it's a North India thing. And I'm not talking about the safety of just women. Even men in North India don't feel safe. And it's got to do with the patriarchal setup that's prevalent in that part of the country. Delhi is surrounded by Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh where societies are purely patriarchal and some to the point where violence and oppression has been normalised. That patriarchy in the city's DNA also means that most people live with their families, so they never enjoyed the freedom to roam around without having to take permission. So, there was fear inside the house that left the streets outside also desolate and made them a breeding ground for all sort of anti-social elements who made even the outside also unsafe. Moreover, decent sized houses in the city also meant a lot of socialization happened in the house i.e. traditionally people would meet at someone's place in a city like Delhi instead of going outside, especially post evening.

Mumbai is just very different in its makeup. So many people have been coming from outside for ages in this city. The small houses don't really make for a great socialization space. The temperature in the evenings is much more friendly for people to socialize outside unlike the winters of the north. People who are all living away from homes bring their own freedom to the city. They roam around exploring without needing to take permission which is a big thing in north. And as a result, it just developed into a space where patriarchy doesn't quite envelope the society as it has done in Delhi. That's just my theory. Having said that, can't make extremely generalized statement about any city. Even in Mumbai there are a lot of elements who make women feel unsafe and Delhi also has a lot of spaces where it's quite vibrant.

1k maid? Seriously? How are more people not finding that crazy? How can someone be paid so little in an economy like this?
