Got scammed by Uber driver
We recently moved to Hyderabad and had a disturbing experience that has left us both shocked and worried.
My wife booked an Uber and during the ride, the driver suddenly stopped the cab on the Outer Ring Road. He started crying and emotionally telling her that his father had just passed away and that the ambulance was charging him ₹22,000. He began begging for money, saying he would drop her but needed help urgently. My wife politely asked him to end the ride and told him she would book another so he could go see his father, but he kept insisting he would still drop her if she just gave him some money.
She called me in panic, explaining the situation. I told her if he’s still willing to drop her home, just let him do so and say nothing more. After reaching the destination, the driver started demanding money again. She gave him ₹500 and tried to leave the cab, but he aggressively asked how much she paid and kept yelling that it wasn’t enough. She quickly got out and ran off.
After checking online, she found that this is a known scam that some drivers pull off to emotionally manipulate passengers.
The biggest concern now is safety. The driver has our home location as he picked her up from there. We’re new here and this shook our sense of security. We had a great impression of Hyderabad till now, friendly locals, respectful auto and cab drivers and this experience was unexpected.
She reported the issue to Uber, but we’re unsure if it’s enough.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Happy Birthday Amma
Today marks 52nd birthday of my mom. She is the one who believed me in my ups and downs. She is the one who supported me during my trauma(my gf left world during corona). She is the one with whom I share everything that happened in my life when my dad is busy with his office works. She did everything for me. She does hanuman deeksha even today every Tuesday just for sake of my hand(got fractured during 7th standard and it had no sense till one year). I am the person who I am just coz of her prayers and blessings. The best ever mom. I love you mom. Happy Birthday Mummy. Love you to the core.
Guys, I did suprise her by getting VIP darshan in tirumala(ofcourse I got this with the help of my dad). We will go for darshan today and she is most excited.

Boys, guys and mens Stop bullshit and make money 💰
Ego aside. This one's from the gut
I waited two days before writing this—had to sit with it, let it sting, rethink it a few times. But I’m choosing to share it now, not out of anger, but out of a deeper reflection.
It took me 8 long years to stand where I am today. From site dust to design boards, hustling through the architecture world, freelancing, saving, planning, building. Finally decided to start something of my own. A design studio, a dream—slowly taking form.
Yeah, the real estate market’s been shaky. Inflation’s high, projects are slow. But I’m still standing firm. Not backing down.
Now here’s the story I didn’t think I’d have to write:
I’ve been eyeing the Royal Enfield Scram 440 for a while. Or maybe an XPulse 210 (if you know, you know). Wanted to gift it to myself for my 28th year. A little "you’ve earned it" moment. I’ve saved, I’ve calculated—but with the way things are going, I told myself: not yet. 2.9L is big when you’re riding a decade-old bike handed down by your uncle.
Anyway, a few days ago I had a client meeting at the new Roastery CCX. The old Roastery used to be my hangout with friends—back when life was looser, laughter louder, and responsibilities fewer.
I showed up for the meeting, dressed decent, carrying my ₹10K Mocabora bag—my Bagwati from ZNMD. I park my old bike and head to valet.
And the watchman stops me.
"Delivery agents aren’t allowed inside," he says.
I paused. Told him, “I’ve got a meeting.”
He looks me up and down. Then says, “Are you sure this is the place?”
I brushed it off and walked in. But the words stayed.
Inside, I saw people chilling, smoking, some nursing a single drink for hours. No one's asking them questions.
I came home, and man... it hit hard. Not because of him. But because of me.
It wasn’t rage. It was reflection.
Why did it hit me so deep? Maybe because I’ve worked too hard for too long, and still feel like I haven’t arrived. Maybe because even after all the effort, I’m still judged by my bike, my T-shirt, my entry.
So yeah, I’ve decided to work harder. Way harder.
Not for approval. Not for the valet.
But for the version of me that deserves to walk into any room, any café, any project—with presence. And not be doubted.
To every boy, guy, man out there: earn. Money won’t solve everything. But in this world, it sure as hell gives you a voice before you speak.
And one day, that valet will open the door before you even reach it.
Thanks for reading

Somebody from Apollo medicines is snitching out
Few days back I ordered some medicines for home delivery via the Apollo app. On Saturday I got a call from a man speaking in the east Indian hindi accent (probably Bihar - Jharkhand region) that
-you have won a first prize.
-for what?
-you bought medicine from Apollo of xxx amount for that you have been selected for first prize.
-keep your first prize in your a I won't take it
and, I immediately disconnected. Strangely enough the amount he said matches to the last digit and this call have happened max within two weeks. The initial Hindi accent was a giveaway because in Hyderabad people are likely to call in Telugu or English in case of high-end product. Someone in Apollo supply chain is snitching out data for sure and scammers are trying to put all the data points to use and score.

23f here! How do I recover ₹45000 from someone I trusted? No contract, just UPI transfer. He's threatening me now.
A year ago, I sent ₹60,000 to someone I was supposed to collaborate with for a workshop.
He returned 15k. The event never happened, and he's been dodging repayment ever since. I trusted him and didn't sign any contract just have chat records and UPI proof.
He keeps postponing dates, now says he has no money and will pay "whenever he can." When I asked mutuals to intervene, he got aggressive, said I'm hurting his ego, and even threatened to file false harassment blackmail cases against me. He's also warned me not to go to the police, claiming they can't help in civil matters and he'll show "intent to repay" with partial refunds, open communication and will deliberately extend the timeline to another what to repay.
This guy is over smart, manipulative, and a repeat cheat others have faced similar issues with him. He even threatened to send goons to my house.
What are my legal options to recover the money? Can I go to the police without a formal agreement? What can I do if he files false complaints?
Please help I'm mentally exhausted and just want justice.

Someone asked to vacate home immediately
We have purchased a home recently on loan obviously, its the first one and all these years we were into rented. Its all good so far but my dad has brought someone home and he started saying no human can live in this house as the Vasthu is pretty bad.. he asked us to vacate asap by selling it. I don’t believe in anything like this be it astrology or numerology. I only saw accessibility, ventilation and I got convinced and suggested to buy. Do you believe in Vasthu ? If so why ?

Possible phone snatching scam near Wipro Circle
Hey folks, just wanted to share something weird that happened to me yesterday near Wipro Circle, could’ve been nothing, or could’ve been a well-rehearsed phone snatching attempt. You decide.
So it was around 11:30 PM, and I was walking back from the gym. I was like, might as well hit the step count. I was walking on the footpath, and traffic was flowing in the opposite direction.
I saw three guys up ahead, two on a bike and one standing nearby. They were acting a bit sus, looking back like they were waiting for someone. But the moment they noticed me coming, the pillion guy got down, and the guy on the bike reversed a bit. Meanwhile, the third guy who was standing away looked straight at me and asked, “Uber or Ola sir?”
I had my earbuds on, so I didn’t catch it at first. Asked him to repeat and he goes, “You book Uber or Ola sir?” I said no, I hadn’t. Then he’s like, “Can you check the price to my home?”
Umm… what?
Why would anyone ask a random person the fare to their own home? Even if he did, who’s booking it for him? Felt really off. Normally I help people out - directions, finding places etc. But this just didn’t feel right.
So I said, “Battery low bro, can’t help”, while my earbuds were still playing music. (Caught, haha)
Started walking away, and I noticed the guy who had gotten off the bike was now magically back on it. And as I walked past, they casually rolled the bike forward like, “Oh we were just chilling here, nothing to see.”
Now I’m not saying 100% it was a scam, but it definitely felt fishy. My guess: they wanted me to pull out my phone and get distracted, and then one of them would’ve snatched it. The third guy could pretend he had nothing to do with it.
Felt a bit unsafe at night even as a guy after a long time (Might have to carry a pepper spray or need to build a good physique before going for late night walks, xD)
Just wanted to share this so others stay alert, especially at night. Has anyone else faced something like this around that area or anywhere in Hyderabad?

Post Office Job: Inspection Broke Me Mentally
I’ve been working in a post office in Hyderabad for the past 10 months. On paper, it’s a 4-hour job. In reality? It stretches longer, with no overtime, no benefits, and a salary of just 14k. No PF, no insurance, not even basic respect.
Today we had an inspection and it honestly broke me.
The inspection officer came in rushing, already angry, and started yelling at me for a paper missing in one of the files. That paper wasn’t even from my time—I wasn’t working here back then. Still, I got blamed. I gave her the correct file, but she didn’t even look at the first page and started shouting. Said I’m slow, dumb, and even said she felt like hitting me. Literally told my manager that I’m acting like a fool.
And my manager? Instead of backing me up, he joined her. Blamed me for everything to save his own skin. Even after I did my work properly. After she left, we rechecked the files and turns out everything she needed was already there—she just didn’t take the time to look.
It felt like I was just some dummy standing there taking all the blame while two seniors ripped into me. Couldn’t even breathe properly. First time I’ve ever felt so humiliated in a job.
Is this normal in government-related jobs? Do people really just endure this for years? I feel like I’m going insane working in a place like this with zero growth and daily mental pressure.
