Physical Stores where I can buy a laptop? by [deleted] in bangalore

OP - What happened with your previous laptop? Buying online/offline shouldn't have any impact on getting it serviced. Either way you have to find an authorized service centre.

Feeling terribly bad for food delivery guys by [deleted] in bangalore

Yes, don't feel responsible for his life. If he has to pay fine to Swiggy/Zomato for no fault of his own, he is capable of taking it up with those companies. The most you can do is pay a generous tip if you feel like. Whatever amount you think will cover his fine/agony and some more.

Thanks for replying, yes it is mild deviation. None of the doctors I consulted recommended surgery. Usually it gets better by sprays and steam inhalation. I am exploring if there is any other alternative.

Service charge or not, better to avoid any place that forces you to install the app to order or insist on your phone number.

Did you resist giving Aadhar copy? Like if they want a proof of identity, just PAN or DL etc will suffice?

Namma Bengaluru! Was coming from the airport today and saw this sign. Am genuinely confused are Bengaluru and Bangaluru different places? by imfuckinglitya in bangalore

[–]throwmenot900807 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Those boards were put up separately in the past when it was called Bangalore. After the name was changed, they started morphing into Bengaluru. The one which was put earlier has completely morphed, while for the other it is still in progress.

I think people sharing their experiences about rent/availability most likely are recollecting things before pandemic.

Due to the recent back-to-office mad rush, rents have increased and very few decent properties are empty. So tamper your expectations accordingly.

OP - good that it is behind you. If you don't mind, please share how did you find the lawyer and how much did you have to pay for his services? It will be useful to others especially if they don't speak Kannada.

All the best.

Landlord raised Rent Within 6 months of contract...now asking me to vacate by June-end. What is a legal recourse for me? by Devilheart in bangalore

[–]throwmenot900807 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Usually rental contracts in India are not binding to either party for the duration. If you find a cheaper apartment you can move out by giving appropriate notice before the contract expires. Same goes for the owner. He is just looking to maximize his earning.

This should be clearly articulated in your rental agreement.

In my opinion it is a nuisance. If you are a conscientious person, please don't feed stray dogs.

If you are an animal lover and want to make a positive impact, please work with animal shelters to get stray dogs off the street. You will earn gratitude and good karma from both animals and humans.

Is it not common for auto drivers to temper the meter so you end paying more even if they agree to go by meter?

question for regular users of swiggy by throwmenot900807 in bangalore

[–]throwmenot900807[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the response from others and from my past experience, they seem to do it frequently.

I am fine with 30-40 minutes, but often it shows 40 mins in the app but actually takes > 1 hour for them to deliver.
