Mesmerising! 👌🏻🫶🏻🌺 This song is such a beautiful melody from an era gone by. ❤️🎶

Tu hi pyaar, tu hi chaahat, tu hi aashiqui hai.” 🫶🏻🌺
It was a huge blockbuster back then, and even today, this melody has lost none of its magic ♥️
A Karnataka farmer cleared a ₹50,000 loan.
Later, Canara Bank demanded ₹9.34 balance. In a masterclass of poetic justice, he paid ₹10, demanded the 66 paise change, and reportedly threatened legal action if the bank didn't hand over the exact coins. Absolute legend! 😂
"A builder offers to pay your EMI until you get possession. Sounds like a safe deal. It nearly ruined thousands of families."
"You think you're safe, right? You're staying on rent till you get your house, and meanwhile the developer is paying your EMI or interest for you."
"Why would a developer even do that? Because if he raised that same money from the market, he'd pay 12-15% interest. Through your housing loan, he gets it at your home loan rate instead. So this scheme sold like hotcakes."
"Now imagine the developer's project stalls. He has no money left, and he stops paying your EMI. This happened to thousands of families, specifically in the NCR region."
"The builder stopped paying, and the bank came straight to you, the actual loan holder, asking for EMI, even though you never even got your house. Because of how the loan was structured, a tripartite agreement between the bank, the developer, and you, the loan sits in your name even though the developer was supposed to pay it until possession."

@naanushande Keep in mind that Namma metro is not necessarily the fastest Mode commute but most reliable one. That commute time of 1:15 is always the same regardless of the day. Please complain on a Tuesday 🤣
