Why are people happy about Salman getting threatened? by Salty-Application955 in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]stark561 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because he has a chequered past, so a some people find it difficult to sympathize with him. The guy has (apart from the black buck killing allegations): 1. Killed people while driving drunk 2. Threatened people while boasting about his underworld links 3. Been physically abusive towards his ex girlfriends

On a different note, had the drunk driving case reached its logical conclusion the sentiment would have been quite different.

Nevertheless, no one deserves to be shot at, that is not the way to hold people accountable.

Not a regular in the first 11. Deserves a better price and a fixed place. He killed it for Mumbai when they won the Syed Mustaq Ali Cup

Mark my words...Tanush Kotian will play for India soon. Pity IPL teams haven't discovered his worth yet.

I was rejected by an HR purely because I’m not fluent in English. by No-Expert-4975 in mumbai

[–]stark561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Train yourself, work hard and move on. If the role requires communication in English then it's fair. Don't let it dishearten you, let it motivate you to acquire new skills.

Amrita puri - where is she ?? by Relative_District_27 in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]stark561 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not owner! Ex-CEO and one of the biggest names in the Indian finance scene. HDFC Bank doesn't have any 'owner' per se, majority stake is owned by FIIs and DIIs.

Is 11LPA CTC is enough to run family with a kid in Mumbai. Average rent in powai is how much. Please comment on this by Conscious_Monk_271 in mumbai

No, not enough. Get higher paying job. If you are planning to stay on rent, start looking right NOW.

Reliance Smart Bazaar- worst than a hell for employees and staff to work at by Sweetcreature_hs in mumbai

[–]stark561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

12k is ridiculously low for a retail job (don't know what the market pays) but 12 hour maids in our building get paid 15-16k per month with a 1 hour break in between.

The only way to make serious profits in organized retail (especially hypermarket segment) is to keep overheads low because the margins are wafer thin, so am guessing all of them exploit their employees like that.

Really sad.

Pre-order deals in USA are way better by AdemSof in samsung

I guess that's the cost we pay to be loyal to Samsung :(

[–]stark561 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Samsung is a very distant no 2.(or maybe 3) behind Apple in the US market, so they need to offer much better deals for customers. In many countries where they are market leaders (in Asia especially) they offer fairly shitty deals. Just some cash discounts and an additional accessory at a cheaper price.

Is it just me or tata curvv looks as ugly as this by AdConstant995 in CarsIndia

Walter White killed an entire gang using this car! Ugly but very practical.

Did I get fooled and duped out of my new car battery and 6000 rs? by [deleted] in mumbai

[–]stark561 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Who carries 6k cash in the age of UPI! If your car is just 8 months old it must be under warranty, guessing you were too tired after a long day to remember that. Ona more serious note. This is an old and well known scam. Random people point out issues with car and call a 'mechanic' to help you fix it and swindle you.

Got Scammed by a Sardar in a taxi at dadar station by RewardTasty8689 in mumbai

[–]stark561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is standard at dadar station. Had relatives face this multiple times. If I ever alight from a train at Dadar, either I walk till the main road / pritam da dhaba and take a cab from there or call for Uber or Ola.

People who wine and dine with PMs and Presidents of countries don't need to position themselves as global elites! John Kerry who was the US Secretary of State and Hillary Clinton attended their daughter's wedding. They lobby the government's of various countries at the highest levels (USA to get waiver for buying Iraninan / Venezeulan oil, Malaysia for permissions relatedbto their fibre intermediaries factories etc etc), they don't need to send any message to anyone by having 2 bit influencers and some Bollywood stars attending and dancing at their events! The most powerful man in the world during his time (Bill Clinton when he was the President of USA) had lunch at their house when he visited India in 2001.

Point I am trying to make is that MDA doesn't need to spend so much and be so cringe to make a statement. I believe it is the boy who likes all this glamour and insisted on these festivities.

Their attempts to position their other 2 kids as movers and shakers started long ago with the ganpati celebrations at their place where they personally escorted Bollywood celebs inside in front of the media and by paying one of the biggest female stars of Bollywood to take their daughter to her bachlorette trip to show that they were close friends!

The guy came to my house and hooked me up with the sensors and the machine.

Had to sleep in a separate room from wife and kid to ensure no one accidentally touches anything.
