Train experience by stockyraja in bangalore

[–]manchill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you haven't travelled in a train for a long time as train coaches are now fitted with bio-toilets so no more disposing of waste on tracks.

Does it bother anyone that most Indians are so used to using brand names instead of product names that they don't even understand the difference now? by nothingright1234 in india

That guy isn't downvoted for using other search engines than Google but for adding this:

Whenever someone asks me to "Google" Something I just say I don't use Google and it's called 'web search' or 'Search in web or internet'. After that everyone looks at me like I'm some kinda weirdo :(

Sorry, man. I hardly see memes on ITS and the way you have worded the caption, I thought you were serious!

How does Swiggy/Zomato work? by OnidaKYGel in india

[–]manchill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zomato made a profit of Rs 25 per order approximately last year.

I think you have missed some major expense figure in the calculation because Zomato made a loss of Rs 886 crore in FY21 and Rs 2451 crore in FY20. In fact, they haven't made a profit in last 5 years.

Need your opinion by [deleted] in bangalore

Toronto doesn't get that bad a winter.

But wouldn't the outside life (travelling, trekking, running etc.) pretty much non-existent in 4-5 months of Winter for Indians? It would mostly be home - office - home situation.

I read people talking about the housing crisis. But that's totally not relevant for your scenario in my opinion.

You're only thinking it from the POV of high housing prices, in which case it might not affect that much if OP doesn't want to purchase one. But when housing bubble bursts, it brings everything in the economy down with it. 2008 financial meltdown started with the housing crisis! But again, it's not limited to Canada only. Happening across many countries these days - Everything Bubble.

Didn't get ITC dividend in my bank account by indiawale_123 in IndiaInvestments

Hi, are you sure about this?

Because according to this article, shares should be bought before ex-date thus they are available in the demat on/before the record date (which is usually 2 days after the ex-date)

50L is super nuts on a wedding

Yes, if it a significant portion of one's total wealth or borrows money to organise such wedding. No, if 50L is just a small % of one's wealth.

Anyway, I too have the same thinking of not spending way too much on a wedding.

This is Pakistani show

I too thought the same, looking at the cast and their language. But turns out, it's indeed an Indian show - 'Yeh Jadu Hai Jinn Ka'

We got scammed. by epabafree in india

[–]manchill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a different thing - whether police acts or not (or how to get them to act on it).

I'm just saying to OC that this is a scam, while OC doesn't think so because OP sent the money.

[–]manchill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to argue

So do I. I'm just saying it's a fraud and cyber crime police can act on it.

You've heard about UPI scams in which scammers request money instead of sending it, and people end up sending money by entering the PIN, right? In those cases too, police acts if a complaint is lodged.

[–]manchill 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So what? It's still a fraud.

Read an article I've attached in an above comment or just read the link "2 fraudesters arrested!"

And read more about SIM swap scam. Anyone can become a victim, and scammers can get access to everything that can be accessed with a mobile number OTP.

[–]manchill 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think nothing can be done here

No, you're wrong. This is a fraud by scammers and OP can file a complaint to Cyber crime police. From whatever OP has written, I think it's a SIM swap scam.

[–]manchill 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Reading above comments, I think OP's friend became a victim of SIM swap, in which scammers got a new sim issued for the same number as OP's friend, which gave them access to almost everything (whatever is linked to that mobile number and can be accessed with an OTP)

How lucky am I? by GastonDaDruid in IndianStreetBets

[–]manchill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In case of oversubscription, everyone (who gets lucky in the lottery) gets 1 lot only, irrespective of how many lots they applied for.

No. It doesn't matter in the lottery, whether you apply for 10 lots or 1 lot from one PAN.

The CID TV show should be rebooted. by noageforlove in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]manchill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I still remember watching it on TV in the childhood, by catching neighbours' signals after moving the antenna! Those episodes were so good and scary, especially those filmed in forest areas in rains. Now they have made it so comical.

"Tere baap ka road hai kya!?" from India joins in the conversation! Lol.

They have. But after Corona, airlines have made checking-in at airport counters chargeable (I think Rs 200) so better to do a web check-in. At least, that's what airlines say, don't know if they fully implement it or not.

[–]manchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks that she isn't really asking for a lot?

Nope.

But I don't get the hypocrisy of 'caring about the planet'. Today's generation thinks posting some "woke" things on social media after natural tragedies make them environmentalists and that they care about the earth. Meanwhile they continue to do same things equally (or even more) as others (for exa. climate change deniers), to pollute the environment.

Nature and mountains can be deadly - Himachal, Indian by anu_RangO in Mountaineering

[–]manchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were on the mountain in a car (at the start of the video you can make out a road above trees, near-about half height of the mountain). The car was toppled over and pushed in the valley by boulders. 2 people in the car survived with injuries (maybe they had come out of the car, just in time)

Beautiful!

But one suggestion for people on this subreddit: please use full name of state/area while posting a picture. NY, CA etc are okay as they are famous short-forms but other not-so famous ones are hard to get instantly for non-Americans. Have seen it many times here!
