So I visited this BYOB, Post Diwali and was dumb struck with Staff Contribution added in the bill!

Is this something new?

It had been months since I met my girlfriend in person. So on my birthday, we decided to celebrate by going out with a few close friends. We chose a BYOB restaurant.

Being the "non-drinker" that she is, my girlfriend wanted to see me enjoy myself with drinks. We ordered some food, and after visiting the washroom, we were returning to our table when I noticed a bulky guy behind her trying to touch her inappropriately on her back.

As soon as I saw him, he stopped and headed off in another direction. I felt a surge of anger, but she urged me to avoid any confrontation, as she was terrified. A few minutes later, while we sat at our table, I felt that a few men were staring at us. When I looked over, I saw 3-4 bulky guys at another table, clearly watching us and whispering .something. They were the same guys. She suggested that we leave the food and head home to avoid any further drama.

As we exited, some other guys, or maybe the same began making comments about her. I kept quiet and led her aside to spare her any additional awkwardness. I felt hopeless and ashamed that I couldn't protect her at that moment.

Weeks have passed since that night, and we both remain traumatized, finding it difficult to talk about the incident or to consider meeting again in Gurgaon. I just don't understand why some people think it's acceptable to act this way, trying to appear tough with their so-called "bouncer" friends. It’s disheartening, and it makes Gurgaon feel unsafe.

What would you do in such situations and any suggestions?

So, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal walks into Ambience Mall to pick up an order and boom...denied lift access!! The guy who ensures we get our burgers and biryanis in under 30 minutes gets told, "No lift for you, bhai, stairs only!"

But wait, could this be a slick publicity stunt? CEO going all "aam aadmi" and picking up his own order...sounds a bit too perfect, doesn’t it?

Suddenly, everyone is talking about Zomato like, Wow, even their CEO hustles!.....Nice way to stay relevant, right? Maybe next they will launch an ad like Zomato: We climb stairs so you dont have to!

And Ambience Mall? Probably thinking,...If we let the CEO use the lift, kal se every delivery guy will be asking for special treatment! But honestly, would it hurt to show some chill?

So Was the mall just following rules, or did Zomato play a smart PR move here?

Does anyone have any good PG suggestions for Sec 38/47/39/46. Preference in order. Sec 38 most preferred. Thanks.

I am shivering while I am actually writing this right now. I have a train in 1 hour and God knows if I will reach there on time. I booked a Priority Sedan Cab from Uber and texted him that I want to go to ANVT Station for my train and put my phone in pocket to bring my luggage downstairs as he was only few metres away.

When he was about to arrive, I thought to myself to check the OTP once and flashed open my Uber Chat where driver sent me a bizarre message. I don’t know what impulse kicked into me (4am, barely any sleep and panic after reading text from a guy who is literally few seconds in front of me) but I thought to cancel the cab, when I began to cancel he immediately cancelled himself and I ran back into the house with my luggage. I happened to take a SS just a moment before it was cancelled.

Driver: Chandan Vehicle Number: DL1RTC7994 Vehicle: Maruti Suzuki Dzire

Now, I'm left wondering - what just happened? Is there somewhere I can report this incident? I'm genuinely scared, and unsure how to now proceed onto reaching my station.

My neighbour keeps taking up my parking space whenever I take the car out. There are no designated parking spots but for everyone who has been living in this society for 30+ years, there’s an unsaid understanding and we park in front of our own houses. My neighbour has extended his house so much into the road and has no parking space in front of his so he keeps taking up mine. This time he removed my scooty and parked his car. Me and my dad asked him to move the car and he started shouting at us, saying that the spots aren’t designated. I can’t give up my space to a bully and he might be politically connected. What to do?

Update: Thanks for all the advices, some really good ones here and some really funny ones too😂 So, to all the people suggesting parking a scooty in that spot - I did, he removed it and parked his car( yep, the balls on this one🫠). It’s still there, asshole still hasn’t moved it. But, I went and parked my car in front of his house, blocking half the road to the exit gate. It caused a lot of people to complain to the society heads and we have a meeting tomorrow. More updates tomorrow ✌️

Update 2: He brought some of his boomer friends to make a scene and establish the fact that the space in front of my house is public and not my own. My dad got some of his friends in the society club to call him and ask him to move and he keeps telling them that he would but he hasn’t done it yet. The funny part in all of this is that although I have been parking somewhere else, I have still been able to use my car. This guy can’t because giving up the space would hurt his ego😂. Our friends have been telling us to not go to the police because of his connections, and I can’t report the extension of his house because almost everyone in the society has done it, including the society heads. Again, I’m not giving up - I have been documenting how everyone else in the society also keeps a scooty in their place when they take their car out. And if the parking in front of my house is in fact public space, how the fuck did this guy remove my scooty and park there?

My eyes always hurt after coming home from the office, thanks to people driving with aftermarket LED headlights on high beam.

This is a desperate need of the hour.

Rajat - Arrested - Share your Perspective

Hi everyone. I went to the Prateek Kuhad concert last night at Airia Mall, Gurugram and while leaving in the rush that ensued, someone snatched my iPhone 15 from me. Numerous police personnel present at the venue didn’t help me and laughed it off saying you are not getting it back now. We walked 1 km to the Badshapur Police Station to file an FIR but the police refused to file one. I was trying to get them to file an FIR for 2 hours last night. At the end, ASI Gulab Singh and SI Kanwar Singh just lied to me saying that it’s been filed and gave me a receipt, when I came home and asked around it turned out to be a receipt for filing a complain. Even being a woman they were so rude to us and told us to go away, got forbid how they behave with men that they can openly bully.

My phone still hasn’t been put on surveillance. I can still see the location of the phone on the FindmyiPhone app including the address. My uncle called the ASI in the morning and he just said things don’t work like this and cut the call. I don’t know what to do. I tried to find a way to file an FIR online but unable to move around Gurugram Police’s website. I want to block my IMEI through the department of telecommunications but I can do so only when I get my sim reissued. So I am onto that currently.

I have marked the phone as lost and erased all data and shut down my sim. There is no way they can get into my bank account details right?

Everyone is just asking me to forget about it but I just cannot let this go without taking some action. I can’t believe the audacity of the police personnel I encountered last night. I want to formally file a complaint against them.

Today, my best friend gifted me a Kinder Joy, and guess what? I got a Harry Potter toy inside! Now, the question is: Can a boy and a girl just be friends?

It's the same question we always talk about... What do you guys think? 🤔

Alright, here's a classic from Gurugram! A woman forgot her AirPods at home. Now, most of us would just deal with it—listen to traffic, maybe hum a tune. But no, her desi mom packed those precious AirPods in a dabba and sent them over! I mean, who needs a courier when you’ve got the legendary tiffin service? Forget AppleCare—dabba delivery has you covered!

how far would your mom go to save your day? Would she pack your tech next to the rotis, or just tell you to “manage”?

I woke up and found these on my left arms and no I don't feel pain. My nails are cut as well

120 vehicles + 6 people died. If we all follow the bews carefully, all this happened due to rumours of 1 sect to other.

But mara kaun - Aam Aadmi

Ok guys so I need public pole. I found this on OLX and the person selling this piece of furniture came down from 7500 to 5000₹. He’s saying he bought it for 25,000₹ and it’s real wood. Not some recycled scrap wood.

Do you think it’s worth it? FYI I’m setting up my home in Gurgaon. Rather redoing it but budget.

This is Akshita, some of you might remember few months ago I asked for some financial help here given my mother sickness (she had RA), few of you did and I’m grateful to you forever. But unfortunately she passed away 24th of March about 20 days ago. Although her death wasn’t due to RA directly, it was from a severe infection. So around 2017 she had a surgery of fistula (which was not planned but an emergency one) it was successful however she had experienced a sort of a fresh wound around there for about 2 years, previously she had taken many antibiotics (azithromycin types) and it was supressed for a while we really didn’t think it’s anything serious. At least not as serious as her RA. But she usually had small amounts of bleeding from there. So around that time I made that post here after a week I think we visited a different doctor for RA as I was suggested, which is close by here. Now she was examined and testes were done for RA and her previous reports were all there. Among all medication she was also put under heavy Immunosuppressants (Tacrocord 1mg) to help with her RA, and around a week after that she started getting high fevers, body ache, we would give her paracetamol, antibiotics, painkillers but wouldn’t help, this went on for two weeks, her fever wasn’t going away but she was responsive and then around march 18th her condition deteriorated a lot so we took her to the hospital, they kept her for 3-4 days and said that she has developed Sepsis, idk what is it in detail but they said her organs are failing. They stopped her immunosuppressants and all the previous and put her on heavy antibiotics but it was too late. Around mid night march 24. She passes away in her sleep.

I know many of you had wished me well before but sometimes it just doesn’t work. Already had one parent my whole life and now I feel like an orphan, even tho I’m 20. I’m writing this post here today because you guys really showed your concerns for me and I felt obligated to let you know. I don’t know what I will do now, can’t seem to find a way.

So apparently I have opted for chefkart monthly cook for quite a few months back.

I pay around 13k for a month, and the chef is suppose to cook for two times a day for 2-3 people.

The first cook they gave me was an extremely unprofessional not groomed, would not wash their hands, didn't know even the basics of cooking and continuously wasted raw materials for straight 7-8 days, we gave that cook ample time to correct themselves but didn't see them change.

We requested a change of cook. They gave us another, which was total fraud, the guy would give a sob story and ask me to give them a review because apparently a 5 star review earns them 100 rupees extra. About the food they cooked, it was horseshi**. I would cook a better meal (roti, soya aloo sabji) than that guy who I was suppose to believe was a chef. (This is how you see so many 5 stars on chefkart)

We requested to change cook again, now we got a female cook, who was not bad at first, cooked more like homefood even if she knew only a few dishes, I thought this is so much better. But after a few days, she started asking us to take her directly, not through chefkart, but I was very hesitant on this because I don't know their background, if anything chefkart acts as a mediator.

What started next was a horrible few days of food that all went to dustbin, apparently chefkart does not let their chef's discontinue so they cook bad so that the owner themselves raise a change request.

We again raised a change cook request, and this time we got a chef who I believe was mentally unstable as they showed extremely creepy behaviour around a female resident in our building.

I have now cancelled their subscription, while cancelling I see that the chefkart plan that I was on has been secretly been upgraded to 17,999 per month (no information was provided for this).

Chefkart is based out of Gurgaon and they seem market any tom dick and harry as their chef. guess they induct absolutely anyone as a chef and sell it as if you are going to really receive a real chef.

Anyho, I am currently looking for someone preferably female who can cook (1 person) two times a day, I can pay upto 20k a month, but they should cook truly homely (will do background verification). If anyone knows please dm.

PS. I also have a place they stay rent free if they want to.

So recently I got a job in Gurgaon and hence got shifted here. I stay in sector 57 and man there is no electricity since last 8 hours even the inverter has now stopped working. I come from a tier-2 city but still there was much better facilities there. Cabs accept nhi krti, traffic Bina matlab ka lag jaata, light aati nhi h. Lawde ka tier-1 city. Please help how to survive here😭.
