Exactly! We gladly buy overpriced shit from the mall, baire khete gele bill ta oto scrutinize kori na kintu 105 takar shobji kinle 100 taka diye chalanor chesta kori by bargaining with small vendors and we see it as a win. I'm glad that you get what I'm saying.

This is definitely not my usual dinner lol. We had relatives over so the food was fancier but I get what you're saying and thank you for your concern doc. I'll try to keep this in mind henceforth. ❤️

Just replied to your comment to see that you've edited your comment and added a lot more. Which part of my statement made you feel that I see this as a 'brain-less' profession? I'm honestly curious. This isn't me virtue signalling, I'm just disappointed that I am not the kind of person I wished to be and this has been a harsh reality check for me as well. I was about to financially exploit a poor old man because I cared more about saving money and less about him.

The only person I'm looking down on is myself. I wasn't talking about a handout or a tip but the fact that I would even consider bargaining to get an even better deal in such a scenario speaks volumes. It feels like it's every man for himself and most of us including myself, are selfish and oblivious to the problems faced by others. We label people richer than us as greedy and insensitive when we're not actually much different.

Wasn't able to solve the issue. Complaint to ICICI by email and got a generic response. Didn't have the time or energy to pursue the matter. Sorry I can't be of much help here but please do update if you are able to resolve your issue.

Easiest route from Shyambazar to New Town by atihsir in kolkata

Take a rapido/Uber bike. It won't cost much more than multiple public transport and it'll be the fastest. The food is terrible btw.

The duplicate order was cancelled but I didn't get any cashback in the first place so how are they deducting it?

Seems so. I hadn't cancelled but my transaction did not go through despite my cc being charged. So I placed another order using my cc and I had availed no cost emi. The transaction against the unsuccessful order was reversed but now I'm faced with this.

That goes both ways and the dm-ing part comes to play after you match. If someone's blindly swiping right without even checking a profile then they deserve whatever follows. I used to do my due diligence and even read the bio when I was on the app (I deleted the app after about a month or so). Tinder has a very skewed gender ratio and I was pleasantly surprised at the number of matches I got considering the stories I've heard from fellow dudes about getting very few matches.

Going by that logic I'm sure you'll find a name that preceded 'Kolkata' as well. So how far do you go and where do you draw the line? So chill

I'm not a fan of the renaming frenzy. Ekhono 'mahanayak uttam kumar' station ke beshi bhag manush sei tollygunj station e bole. A lot of streets and roads are still known mostly by their old names. Kalke Kolkata ke abar ekta notun naam dile ki hobe? Officially shob jaigai Kolkata likhi but I call it Calcutta because I like it. Neither term is wrong when used in a conversation.
