@revathitweets A project in Gachibowli has been halted for close to 1.5 years because the minister and his son wanted to grab land owned by the builder in Neopolis area. Imagine the pain hundreds of people are going through while paying rents/ EMIs because of greed of this corrupt minister!
There are 100+ citizens who are stuck with rental payments and EMIs while this project missed its RERA deadline. Why should the citizens be penalized for any lapses on part of the builder?
@VpGautham_ias I bought a flat in Ambience Parkview. Construction has been stopped for about 15 months due to revocation of development agreement and PoA between Telangana Housing Board and the builder. Request you to get this matter resolved at the earliest. @INC_Ponguleti
@thekaipullai Good points. Will be helpful to clarify that you mean to reform CSE. UPSC is the body that conducts CSE - and a host of other examinations.
I think India is basically an anarchy which somehow survives because a few people have the conscience, morality or spirituality to do what they are supposed to do.
I read a case in Trivandrum about a lady who wanted to buy a Skoda car to fulfill her dying mother's last wish.
She called Skoda on where to purchase the car. Skoda Customer care asked her to go to their Authorized dealer in Trivandrum pay an advance, to book the car, which she duly paid.
Then the dealer asked her for 5 Lakhs to expedite delivery, which she did. This was for her dying mother after all.
Parallely, HDFC bank processed her car loan and paid the money directly to the dealer without asking her.
In total she payed close to Rs 14 Lakhs of her money to buy a Skoda Slavia. For her mother.
Then put of the blue the dealership shut shop. She didn't get her car.
So logically she approached Skoda.
And what do they do?
Skoda being Skoda, has washed their hands off this matter saying they recieved no money from the dealer. So they cannot give her a car.
Apparently they are not responsible for the actions of "Skoda Authorized Dealers" recommended by Skoda Customer care.
On top of that, They even asked her to pay another 16 Lakhs, to their Ernakulam dealership, so that she can buy a brand new Skoda Slavia, because of it has amazing build, high safety rating and awesome drive quality.
Poor lady has been fighting a case in the courts for the last two years, where Skoda is resolutely determined to deny her a car that she paid for.
She is making rounds to our courts, paying for lawyers and paying interest and EMIs for the car loan, for the car she never got.
Because a Skoda Authorized dealer, recommended by Skoda, ran away with her money and Skoda is refusing to take ownership for this fiasco.
Can you imagine a functioning country with a remotely active legal system, where a person Authorized by the company, can take money from a customer in the name of the company, run away, and company can claim zero responsibility for it?
In India you can.
Skoda has done it in this case.
Which is why, in India if you pay for something and get it, remember it is because the person giving it you, does it out of his own morality and conscience.
Not because of the repercussions of not adhering to a contract.
Our entire society is run because few people are conscientious enough to do what is right.
Not because of our systems and legal process.
Which is wrong.
Would Skoda have dared to pull this stunt in a western country?
They wouldn't.
P:S: Her mother, for whom she bought this car, passed away two years ago without seeing the car.
P:P:S : The same Skoda refunded the full amount and gave additional compensation to an Indian govt babu because of a repainted side panel, but is refusing to even hear a genuine issue of a common person. Are we tax payers that powerless in this country?
P:P:P:S: why the fuck it is always Skoda?
Here's the sad story if you want to read it.

It is with great sadness that the Simons Foundation announces the death of its co-founder and chair emeritus, James Harris Simons. Jim was an award-winning mathematician, a legendary investor and a generous philanthropist. https://t.co/w48DhauUVj
@anandmahindra met an accident on 18th Nov due to the mechanical failure of my Scorpio N Z8 4XPLORE while traveling with my family, lost my right leg, vehicle got burnt in mysterious situation, promptly informed M&M but info were manipulated with very thin response. Plz help.
Am apolitical but need to give credit where it is due. When Telangana was formed back in 2014, didn't think it will be able to make such giant strides in terms of infrastructure development (roads, power, water etc.) and general quality of life in less than a decade.
Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.
