Damn, just spotted what looks like a Reddit employee working from the back of a scooter in Bangalore. That’s some serious dedication. Didn’t think the commute counted as office hours.

I mean it isn't raining. But it's simply lovely!

Been roaming in and around AECS !

I had a very disturbing experience near the Marathahalli Bridge, just before the Chaitanya School gate, and am posting this anonymously because am honestly still shaken.

I was riding home and was already on the extreme left side of the road. A grey car kept edging further left until I had no safe space to move without risking contact with the car, so I stopped my bike. With the traffic there, I couldn't even reverse, so I waited for about a minute, expecting the car to move ahead.

Instead, the driver got out without saying a word and shoved me with enough force that both my bike and I fell to the ground. I was completely frozen. People nearby rushed to help me get up.

The driver then accused me of scratching his car and said I deserved what happened. Some of the locals checked his car themselves and found no scratch marks at all.

I took a photo of the car. After that, the driver started threatening me in Kannada and went back into his car. Some locals later told me he was claiming to be from an advocate's family and was saying he could file a false FIR against me if I complained, especially since am from outside Karnataka.

What has stayed with me isn't just the fall, it's the realization that someone could physically push another human being over the mere suspicion of a scratch that didn't even exist. For a few moments, it felt like my life and safety were worth less than the paint on a car.

Am grateful to the strangers who stood up for me and helped me. Without them, I don't know how the situation might have ended.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of road rage around Marathahalli? What would you have done in my situation?

can't be happier knowing that the whole community of youngsters today use their pen, voice, & creativity to protest than force or violence. loving the memes, loving the energy, LETS KEEP GOING!

A lot of people are sick lately due to viral fever. In my office and home.

I was wondering there’s some viral fever spreading around, I’m trying to be cautious by wearing masks and would advise others as well especially in crowded places.

Found in Rapido auto KA03AP9082, driver Md Zafar Alam Shaikh Alam, time between 1 and 1:15pm, near Samarpan Enclave, Prithvi Layout, ECC Road, Whitefield.

Please reply if you are the owner or know the person who lost it. I know it’s a small thing but its data might be important to the owner.

I haven’t seen its contents but will ask to describe its data, folders, etc to the owner and verify it in front of them before handing over.

There is no pedestrian overbridge near the Peenya metro station. These roads have so much traffic all times of the day. I don't understand why they couldn't at least just make an overbridge to the other side through the metro station. Instead pedestrians have to cross a 6 lane road where vehicles are coming at full speed from Tumkur side or vice versa. And the side roads are also full of traffic. I have seen multiple times where people just escape being hit. This is very dangerous.

First time watched in IMAX in VR.

Movie is awesome. Definitely would watch multiple times in theatre. But, didnt want to shell out 3k+ for 2 ppl every time.

Saw someone's post in ig abt Swagath and tried it out today, And, it's good. No difference whatsoever from IMAX. Maybe the sound is not equal to IMAX. I don't mean sound is bad. i felt a difference only in comparison from the previous experience in IMAX in couple of high octane scenes; otherwise i wdnt have even noticed anything odd abt sound.

It’s an old theatre. The building is old. Seats were not bad. Popcorn is still as costly as good theatres.

Dont take anything apart from front few seats if booking in gold. Otherwise the screen feels too far and small. If booking in silver, probably something in the middle should work.

Hi,

One person would be joining to the place were I already reside, checked with reception if new person who moves in would require mygate, reception said yes and for that Police verification is required.

For police verification, it's through seva sindhu, application fee is itself 750₹, plus bribe (not sure how much). Is there any way to get mygate without police verification involvement ? Why not give verification online itself, for this again person has to go to police station :)

Is this common across apartments in Bengaluru?

Protest to ensure betterment in student education is happening today as well peeps!

1. It is not ok to beat up students for asking questions and demanding accountability.
   
2. Government has to engage in dialogue.
   
3. Pradhan should resign

And most importantly, even if you support BJP, please join the protest so they don’t take us for granted. You can still continue to vote for BJP. showing up for the protest is to let them know they will be held accountable and this is a democratic country even if they win by many votes.

I lost my wallet yesterday on the 234A bus heading to Ullala Satellite Town depot. I only realized it was missing the next morning. I am a college student, so it just had my bus pass, metro card, and a little cash.

I decided to go to the depot in the evening to check with the timekeeper's office to see if any conductor had handed it in.
While I was asking around, a conductor actually recognized my face and called me by my name. Turns out he had found the wallet and was holding onto it. He said he had no way to call me, but his plan was to check with the main depot the next day to find my contact info, or drop it off at my college if that did not work.

If you ever lose something on a BMTC bus, definitely go check with the timekeeper or station master at the route's main depot. The staff and conductors are actually really helpful.

I have had learnt basic kannada from youtube videos but i struggle to put words together .

Although kind people understand it ,its bit difficult to get the nuances right. I have learnt phrases really well , but i have to struggle to continue the conversation.

There are good channels trying to teach kannada , but navigating through it takes external help like friends.

My co workers suggested me that my kannada sounds too "bookish kannada" because i learn through childrens books and prescribed books, but its not "street kannada" or "bangalore kannada"

I have remote work and half my team is non Indian , in my team north indians are less than half but few kannadiga. I live in area which does not have much ppl outside. Although in BDA complex and around , i am able to talk in decent enough elementary kannada.

Things are now bit better with continued effort . When two people are speaking I can understand 50-60% of the words.

I am trying to learn through sentences and this is the closest help I could find. The only thing is that it is not compiled very well.

I have used various ways to learn it . But this works the best :

Frame the sentence in english , seperate the nouns, use the verbs and pronouns&etc in kannada.

And if the pattern is this , it is much better

1. sentence written in kannada in kannada letters

2. Same sentence written in kannada but in English letters for guiding phonetics

3. Same sentence written in English with English letters

This helps in learning and retaining. Also you can check in this book , some sections do not have the consistency. Print quality is bad too.

I prefer physical books for now
Let me know any inputs on books, links would help.

Or let me know which shops have them, I will buy

Hi everyone, I’m looking for guidance on a retrospective RTO tax demand (Kasturi Nagar, Bangalore KA03) while reselling my Audi A3 car.

I sold the car (I am the second owner), and during the RC transfer process the RTO raised flagged a road tax shortfall.

The officer said the first owner had paid tax based on a lower ex-showroom value (~Rs24L), while the actual price was higher(~Rs28L), and now they are demanding the shortfall with interest.

On my first meeting with him on July 21st 2026, the officer said that Rs 1.6L is due to be paid as tax. Later, the agent called up the new buyer (third owner) and verbally offered to settle it for Rs60K.

The key concern is that I am not the first owner, and I had no clue of this alleged tax evasion when the car was first registered in 2015. In fact, no such demand surfaced when I bought the car in 2022 and got it transferred on my name. This appears to be an issue from the time of the first registration, and I'm nowhere related.

The new buyer (third owner) is behind me to clear dues and ensure a smooth transfer. I'm finding myself squeezed at the moment.

I’m trying to figure out:

• Can such a tax shortfall be raised against a later owner/seller?

• Has anyone faced a similar retrospective tax demand during RC transfer?

Any advice, practical experience, or legal pointers would be really appreciated. I’m currently trying to navigate this without having to pay bribe. If anyone has dealt with a similar RTO issue, please guide me.
