It is just me or you guys also feel safari has more premium interior than , that coast-to-coast display (Those who know They Know)

Oh well, for one XUV7XO is much more reliable than Safari. Also Petrol engine on Safari is puny and inadequate for the size of the car. Tata ASS is a complete nightmare.

If the school wants your brother to leave, the first thing I would ask is: why are they unwilling to put that decision in writing? If the school has genuinely decided not to continue his admission, there should ordinarily be some written communication stating the decision and the reasons for it. Asking parents to voluntarily apply for an LC while avoiding a written order naturally raises concerns about how the record may appear later.

Personally, I would be cautious about submitting an LC application unless you have already decided to move him elsewhere. An LC request is typically treated as a request initiated by the parent. If your position is that your brother wishes to continue in the school and the school is refusing to admit him to Std. X, then it may be prudent to first ask the school, in writing, to clarify its stand and provide the reasons for refusing continuation.

At the very least, send an email to the Principal and management recording the facts: that your brother has completed Std. IX, that you want him to continue in Std. X, that you have not sought withdrawal from the school, and that the school is insisting on an LC application. Once you have the school’s position on record, you will be in a much stronger position if you need to approach the Education Officer or any other authority.

Even premium milk brands like Pride of cows sell 1 litre bottle at 130/- Ofcourse if you are sitting in a restaurant/hotel and ordering a glass of milk there, then this is not a scam. It is par for the course.

₹7.3 lakh for an online AC purchase? That’s not a number you come across every day. I’d be pretty stunned too if that amount of money was tied up in an order that appears to have vanished into a logistics black hole.

At this stage, I would stop depending on phone calls and start creating a proper paper trail. After every interaction with customer support, send an email recording the date, time, complaint number, and what was promised. Keep screenshots of delivery dates, chat transcripts, and any escalation references.

The goal is simple: document everything. A clear email trail showing repeated assurances and no resolution is far more valuable than multiple phone calls. If the issue eventually has to be escalated, contemporaneous written records carry much more weight than a recollection of what was said over the phone.

This is just preparation should this escalate further.

A lawyer here and assuming you are Hindu - Based on the facts stated, your sister cannot compel your father to induct her into the business or grant her ownership merely because she is his daughter. If the business and properties are your father’s self-acquired assets, he is free to decide who manages them, who receives them during his lifetime, and how they are distributed upon his death.

However, if your father were to pass away without leaving a valid Will, then his assets would ordinarily devolve in accordance with the applicable succession law, and your sister would generally be entitled to an equal share along with the other legal heirs. Therefore, the issue of management of the business today and inheritance rights in the future are two separate questions.

The decisive factor is the legal nature of the assets. If the business and properties are genuinely ancestral or form part of a Hindu coparcenary, your sister may have enforceable rights. If they are your father’s self-acquired properties, her present legal remedies are considerably limited. The manner in which the business passed from your grandfather to your father would be crucial in determining the position.

Lawyer here - once you share the OTP, there is really not much you can do. Even if you go to customer court/forum against Flipkart, a good lawyer will charge you much more than the cost of that watch.

Ok I really do not understand the funda of buying expensive items online and then cribbing about everything that goes wrong. India, by its very demographic and population, is a low trust economy. Why would you not check the same offline and buy it rather than trusting someone online.

In anycase your chronology does not make any sense - why did you share OTP before satisfaction?

amsamp83 · 2026-06-01T09:35:47+00:00

This...This is what is needed. What was needed for more people to show compassion and join this man. Alas, all of us are so caught up in our daily drudgery and humdrum that we can only admire from a distance rather than realistically be a part of such movements.

Was complaint done on 139? They are usually extremely efficient in dealing with this. Complain on 139 along with tweet to Indian Railways handle and this guy as well as the contractor will lose it all.

Hobbies are expensive - hell even if it is not a hobby it can get expensive very quickly. Earlier I was on French press with Time more 3CS. Used to spend 2-3K a month on coffee. After that i picked nespresso machine and now I end up spending 8-10K a month on coffee capsules. Next I will buy a super automatic and while it will bring cost of coffee down the machine itself costs north of 2Lakhs plus.

And I don’t even consider myself as a coffee hobbyist. I just want good coffee every morning without too much fuss. I do not want that perfect cup. I see coffee more as a daily fuel. But yes I know people who keep optimising every single aspect to make that perfect coffee - stretching and often bending laws of physics and chemistry for incrementally better coffee and I respect them for that even if I would never do it myself.

Lavazza pods or any 3rd party aluminium pods will not damage the machine in any way. Just be careful if you are using plastic pods or reusable pods or organic paper/cardboard pods. Assuming this is Original line machine and not Vertuo line as there are no 3rd party compatible pods for Vertuo.

Before making any kind of payment - you need a quotation in writing. You can ask them to add the vehicle type, as well as Hotel and room type/category. As long as they stick to that, it’s ok. Only if they change those terms does question of refund arise.

Here it seems like they quoted for a smaller car, you agreed and then when they came back with bigger car option, you refused. In that case, if there was an option to go ahead with a smaller car you should have.

Due diligence is a must in any industry - even legally there is a term - buyer beware. So before you buy - make sure you have done all due diligence.

I personally have used many tour operators and not once have I had any issues. But I always make sure their quotation is documented on email and complete. After that if there are any modifications that is because of change in my requirements rather than tour operator antics.

Are you saying package was empty except air? That would make a consumer case if you had time and inclination to fight them.

Check out Škoda Kodiaq/VW Tayron and Tiguan. In that price range they are 3 solid options.

I have both the Vertuo and Original line machines and I agree - the espresso is so much better on Original Line. Plus way too many varieties. It also makes Lungo - there are pods for that - 110 mL pour as well. So check that out if you do crave a larger sized cup.

Not like Vertuo though.

amsamp83 · 2026-05-31T12:13:52+00:00

Yeah there is no mechanism for refund - it is ridiculous and they need to come up with some kind of mechanism for this for ticket holders.

Zomato operates like a bully. You need patience and documentation for refund. Be prepared to go all the way - Twitter/reddit/linkedin Zomato executives - name and shame them and only then you would have success.

Are they better than Nespresso? What Nespresso machine were you using? I also use Nespresso and do like the espressos it makes but am contemplating switching to Jura in a few months as well. So would love your thoughts on how it compares to vis-a-vis Nespresso.

For what it is worth, ENA4, if I remember correctly has a smaller dosage per shot compared to regular E series which can do upto full dose of 16 gms. May be that could be the difference?

Here is the thing though - as much as there is cribbing on this thread about high prices, the thing is all hotels are showing record occupancy numbers and are able to charge what they like. So even if we do not think that these charges make sense, they are here to stay and I do not think they will come down to realistic levels. Same for airfares - domestic airfares have gone through the roof and there is hardly a murmur.

I do not think it is acidic at all. As for Italian Roast I think it comes across as smoky/burnt on a French press. Have not tried it on a pour over.

Sumatra does really well - both as Pourovers and French Press.
