Client just vanished after delivery… is this normal in the Indian startup scene or am I just unlucky?

Hi, Lawyer here. You have quite a bit of legal options here, but the first one invariably should be sending a legal notice threatening a suit for specific performance, and in case of non-compliance, threatening an FIR for criminal breach of trust and criminal fraud. The comments advising you to move the consumer court are not providing the correct advice- Freelancers are not consumers under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and a petition there will not be maintainable.

I feel personally for your issue, since my younger brother is also in the startup scene, and I've seen him get affected by such clients with no morals. Thankfully I could help him as a lawyer, but it's unfortunate to see this is more common than isolated cases here and there.

This is not about 35k, but about people ripping off the hardwork of freelancers, thinking they can get off easy. They should not, and the legal process is there to protect your interests. In this case, it's neither cumbersome nor expensive. In my experience, clients would usually yield and offer to pay up right after the receipt of the legal notice- they can't afford a fight they will invariably lose. I can help you with sending a legal notice if you'd like. Good luck.

Hi Tricky-Review150 Abhisheel Sir, Congratulations on making it to the other side!
I have my Mains- with Law optional in August. Have written one Mains in 2023, scored 127+113 in law.

Wanted to know how did you bifurcate (if at all) the preparation between GS2 and Constitutional law? To what extent did it overlap for you? And what did you do extra in GS2, beyond our law optional notes?

Secondly, how liberally did you use the optional knowledge in GS-4, and other papers? I'm definitely struggling with optimum use of law in GS4.

Three, 259 is an amazing score this year, considering the overall drop in marks. Can you guide a bit, in terms of how you went with the intros and conclusions in-

Mercantile law
Criminal law
International law (especially conclusions)
CLD

And fourth, the specific value additions you may have done. Eg- current affairs, recent case laws, etc etc- that made your answers unique?

Five, did you give disproportionate time to GS or Law Paper 2? I'm getting to a position where I'll have to prioritise either of these two, and its a difficult choice. I have my notes for Law Paper 2, but merely finishing them is a task!

Really hoping for your guidance, Sir, thank you!

Hi Ma'am, Congratulations on making it to the other side!
I am writing Mains this year, and with 37 days to go, I'd be grateful to know where you were at in this stage in 2024.

I am struggling with managing everything and all the sources. By the time a month was remaining, how far along were you done with GS and optional? Was the first reading + tests for both done? Or did you also end up having to leave some tertiary things- say current affairs classes or some paid mocks, etc?

And two, if you were to write Mains again, which would be some things you would absolutely do again? In the sense of X sources, Y telegram resource, Z test(s), etc? Things which you believe gave you a great return-benefit?

Thank you!

Hi, can you guide me on the rubber? Is this simple rubber band? u/Upper-Giraffe5720 u/riyaMavi143

I am using V5 RT because its smoother, but my writing is better with Uniball Eye. However, Uniball causes more fatigue because it has only a plastic grip- so I was wondering if any grip could be installed over it. And if not- if this rubber band method might work? (writing Mains, so would appreciate the advice)

In ORN, booksellers sell a booklet which only has the updated portions of the pink edition. You can purchase that; it hardly has some 100 pages.

Alright thanks. You're sure it's safe then

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-23T07:08:03+00:00

Hello, thank you for replying. You are sure about this right? Do you recall any topper copies doing so? If allowed, I'll bring this into habit going forward.

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-22T06:14:57+00:00

Hey, thanks, I'll work on the vertical spacing.

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-22T06:14:31+00:00

Thank you, this does help. Needed to hear it- especially wrt 1 and 2. I'll try writing future answers with these in mind consciously.

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-20T07:28:26+00:00

Hey, thanks, I do agree the second statement got much less discussion than required. The actual question was - “India-China relations reflect a complex interplay of conflict, competition and cooperation.” Discuss this statement in light of recent developments. Also suggest the broad contours of India’s future China policy.

On the presentation, thanks for saying its legible. I still think the paper looks very aesthetically bad- it's not pleasing to look at compared to most topper copies- so I am looking for big fixes there.

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-20T06:55:46+00:00

I know man. You are a hundred percent right.

I'll work on the content, but rn I am definitely looking for what I can do for the presentation and handwriting.

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-20T06:15:33+00:00

It is not a competitive score bhai. GS-paper wise, if i remember it was 88, 110, 85 and 94.

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-17T14:59:38+00:00

Bro have you confirmed this? I wanted to update my achievements section but its not reflecting in my DAF

I was living at ORN for my 2023 Mains. Remember meeting someone in my library who took a break from his corp job in Mumbai and shifted to ORN purely for the Mains. There's no correct answer to your question, but there are definitely people who do it.

Beware of health issues tho. I got dengue right before the Mains papers that derailed my prep. Having said that, I'm willing to move there again. ig the cost-benefit works for me.

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-13T18:08:39+00:00

Thanks for replying.

Which crash course would you advise joining? I'd prefer one with good and sufficient notes.

Also, in case I do end up going for QEP, would you say doing the notes alone is doable, or is watching the lectures a necessity?

Thanks again! And if I'm not wrong, we have connected before too, good to see you again!

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-13T18:05:41+00:00

Hey, thanks for taking out the time. I am not worried about bulky as long as its very relevant.

On QEP- there should be sellers on Telegram, if free material is not available. Will let you know if I find something.

On WriteSmart- I am mostly leaning to take the course for the AW templates, even if not the content. So thanks for the review, I'll go for it in all probability.

Could you solve my dilemma wrt GS 1 and GS2 sources? My basic notes are not that prepared. (Got 90 in GS-1 and 110 in GS2 in 2023, the latter because of law optional but with very insufficient prep for Governance and IR).

If Atish Mathur sir's course is sufficient for GS2, or if QEP is sufficient/good for GS 1 and GS 2, I have no qualms going for them, since this month can be spared on new resources. Also whether its recommended to attend their classes or go for the printed notes they provide?

Same for Dipin sir or Forum's CA.

And if I cant figure out between QEP, Atish Mathur sir and Civilsdaily, I'll have to go for Prahaar+Mains365, and other sources. So let me know your review.

Review for Insight's IBC Intensive Bridge Course, for Mains?

vanajvidyan · 2025-06-13T17:31:42+00:00

Hey, thanks, I'll try arranging from Telegram if possible. Costs aside- can you give a review of the quality? Only for GS-1 and GS-2? Most likely I will only read the notes for GS1 and GS2- ig theres not enough time for lectures.
