I mean.. Murders happen everywhere in the world. This clickbait title serves nothing. Even in Mumbai, a few weeks back, a 20 year old killed had killed off a founder who was jogging in the morning. 
  
 Nothing out of the ordinary to suggest a place is "unsafe".

I was chased in sf once nr Tendorloin street. Luckily police came and saved the day.  
  
 Such things never happen in Mumbai/ blr

Safety issues in delhi

Software Engineer

I had a terrible experience last week Friday and want everyone in Bengaluru to be safe. I was assaulted.

Incident 1:

I went to drop a colleague after an office event and was returning away to my place. It was around 1-1:30 am. It was a single road and i was ascending an up and i saw a tempo-traveler coming the same way not stopping. The tempo didn't stop and immediately i took the reverse gair and started coming back and i heard a sound that tempo hit my car. I stopped and rolled down my window to see i there was a damage, as i couldn't see i got out of the car and asked the tempo driver if it hit my car (in my local language - telugu) i saw him coming down with unusual body language (could see he was drunk) and i said "nothing" (again in my local language) and got into the car. A second man got down and the tempo started hitting me through the window, followed by the first man punching me in the nose, breaking it. They banged on the car like anything and broke the right mirror. i bled and I got half conscious. Two more men from tempo joined in, assaulting me. I managed to roll up my window and drive home, bleeding and half-conscious. With blood all over my clothes, car and accessories i couldn't sleep as i could breathe with a broken nose.

Incident 2:

The same morning, to report the incident, I returned to the spot with my brother to identify the tempo. A local man offered help, suggesting my brother take photos of the tempos for identification. Suddenly, two women started abusing us, and a man attacked my brother, accusing him of taking pictures. The man threatened us against involving the police threatening he would see the end of us.

I've lived in Bengaluru for 5 years and have seen many such instances recently. Recently, the crime rate has increased significantly. Please be safe and careful while driving at night. This can happen to anyone


PS: This is something I found on LinkedIn today.

Great to see Bangalore becoming more and more like San Francisco in at least one aspect: Violence.

Corporate Strategist

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Half day salary cut for every 3 days you're late is pretty freakin messed up.
Curious to know what other ancient capatilist policies do corporates have in place to exploit all of us?

What are some dystopian policies at your work place?

Nomura requires you to clock your time out when you use the restrooms.

Just visited Mumbai last weekend, it has somehow gotten worse over the last 5-6 years. Every 3rd or 4th road is either under construction or unusable. 

This girl from bumble legit defended Mumbai being safer than other metros literally after an illegal billboard fell on innocent people.

The "spirit of Mumbai" is Stockholm syndrome, most of the victims/residents just don't know it or have grown numb to it.

Every year people die on local train tracks and platforms, no one cares enough to do anything concrete about it.

Mumbai and Bangalore are both spiralling towards being borderline unliveable. Delhi NCR too to an extent. But the unfortunate reality is that they are economic hubs, hence people are forced to work there.

Decentralisation is the need of the hour, tier 2 and 3 cities must prepare themselves for reverse migration in the next few decades. I'm planning the same for myself if all goes well. It's not worth slowly dying in poisoned cities.

Let me spill the tea on what's buzzing over at Grapevine in last 24 hours. You're in for a treat with these top posts, so let's dive in ASAP:

1. ServiceNow Interview Disaster - https://share.gvine.app/yPfdLxoKeMojQ6tF6
Honey, let me spill the tea. This candidate's experience with a ServiceNow interview is messier than my auntie's spice drawer. A fresher interviewing a senior? That's like a toddler teaching a chef how to cook biryani. ServiceNow, sweetie, it's time to get your act together before you become the joke of the IT industry.

2. Poker Math for the Geeks - https://share.gvine.app/puCYn1PLfHPspDKh9
Oh, lordy, poker and math combined? This is giving very much "I peaked in high school math club" vibes. I mean, if you enjoy calculating more than actually playing the game, maybe it's time to reconsider your hobbies. But who am I to judge? Maybe that's your idea of a wild Friday night.

3. A Call for Startup Ideas - https://share.gvine.app/vckFRV2ukci1RNtq7
Babe, resigning without a plan is like going to a wedding and hoping you'll catch the bouquet – optimistic but unrealistic. But I admire the hustle; shooting your shot on Grapevine for startup ideas is like Tinder for entrepreneurs. Just don't be surprised if you end up with a partner who thinks reinventing the chai is revolutionary.

4. Delhi Travel Precautions - https://share.gvine.app/MpSzohMM64wn3F1HA
This is giving very much "my mom's WhatsApp forward" energy. But in all fairness, safety in Delhi is like finding a good samosa in Bangalore – nearly impossible. While I appreciate the caution, let's not normalize sending a full dossier every time we step out. Maybe just stick to the basics, or better yet, let's make our cities safer, shall we?

5. Sugarcane Juice > Alcohol Parties - https://share.gvine.app/9mtKHW8kBqt6Mpg5A
Finally, someone said it! Why are we glorifying alcohol when we can party healthily? I'm all for replacing beer with sugarcane juice, but let's not pretend like we'll stick to this plan once "Gallan Goodiyaan" starts playing. Still, cheers to the idea – it's sweet, both literally and figuratively.

6. Rahul Gandhi's Employment Plan - https://share.gvine.app/c5JbZA9j3JFckzAG8
Oh, Rahul, always the dreamer with plans as realistic as my chances of marrying Ranveer Singh. Promising money for watching reels? That's not a job strategy; that's called being a Gen Z with too much time. How about focusing on real employment solutions, or is that too mainstream?

7. Max Salary for 20-Year IT Experience - https://share.gvine.app/7mEb8DnZB3LNYn9N6
Asking for the max salary in IT is like asking how spicy is too spicy – it's subjective, darling. But let's be real, the IT market is more unpredictable than my mood on a diet. So, aim high but maybe don't start planning your mansion just yet.

8. Arrogant IITs Not Getting Jobs - https://share.gvine.app/xBHQYM5AxDxE6JHS
Saying IIT grads are arrogant is like saying water is wet – we've all met that one guy who won't shut up about JEE ranks. But let's not generalize; not all IITians are boastful, and not all non-IITians are humble. It's about skill, not the label on your degree.

9. The Beauty of Tech Projects - https://share.gvine.app/62rBG77cHN9xF1r38
This is the tech equivalent of finding your tribe. Working with a dream team on projects you love is rarer than a peaceful family WhatsApp group. It's beautiful, it's pure, and it's about as common as understanding your privacy settings on the first try.

10. The Indian FAANG Roadmap - https://share.gvine.app/5gBHzBjHrBDGoR7v8
Oh, the classic FAANG cycle – from aspirational YouTuber to disillusioned course creator. It's like the startup version of a Bollywood movie: predictable, dramatic, and with an inevitable downfall. But hey, if you can't join 'em, teach 'em (for a small fee, of course).'

Oh, the drama on Grapevine never fails to entertain.

Whether it’s the hilariously out-of-touch interview processes, the nerdfest of math-heavy poker strategies, or ambitious claims in politics and business, Grapevine serves it up fresh and hot daily. 

It’s the perfect blend of reality check and escapism. Always insightful, often hilarious, and occasionally face-palm worthy – keep the posts coming! 

What’s next, Grapevine? We're all ears!

Daily Masala: Edition #2

Robotics Engineer

Bangalore's infra has been crumbling under the weight of its population growth. I believe that yesterday's traffic jam was just a trailer and situation will only worsen with time. 

Seriously contemplating moving out of Bangalore after being here for last 5 years. 

People who moved out, where did you move? And are you happy now with your decision ?

People who moved out of Bangalore, which city did you move to ?

PUNE✌🏻 
 much peaceful compared to Bangalore and work culture is way better than my experiences in Bangalore.  
 Festival celebrations are just amazing and no bad experiences since past 1.5 yr 
 Congestion is piling up this city just like BLR, as a lot of tech companies are gearing up for new offices and new tech parks are already under construction - specifically KHARADI area and they say almost 1.5 lac IT jobs will open up in the next 3-4 years.  
 Traffic woes are same,but again depends on the which part you stay - as we have similar deadlock junctions in Pune as well, if compared to BLR.

Scrum Master

I have seen my cook stealing ghee for more than three times.  And I am also confident she does this very regularly .
what should I do?

My cook is stealing things, what should I do?

I'm still hesitant to share that story so please bear with me. I was at Church Street Social yesterday night to meet some of my college friends. After a few drinks and a nice dinner at 12:30ish we decided to leave.

Since, Uber was taking some time I was sitting w/ a few of my friends and talking. As soon as one of our guy friends left for home two women suddenly approached us and demanded for cash. We obviously denied and started walking away from them.

So, I am not a very strong woman and I am slightly anemic, one of them suddenly pushed me back. My friends started helping me recover and also started to verbally fight with them. Thankfully, a security guard from the nearby restaurant shooed them away.

I am obviously very worried about this incident and do not want to discuss this with anyone. I am too scared tbh and have moved in with few of my friends for some emotional support.

This is also the reason why I am venting out because I just want to feel heard and understood rather than be told about what I should or shouldn't do.

My story as a woman in this city

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. 

Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. 

I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. 

Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. 

Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

Afraid about moving to Blr

Get a wfh job ... period. 
  
 Bangalore is overrated. 
  
 Better to move to noida...u will face less racism

Senior Consultant

Although currently there are no casualties, but the clip of someone jumping off the building to save themselves still haunts me. They are currently in critical condition and I hope they recover completely. 

It is starting to appear that rapid growth is becoming a duel edged sword. Yesterday's incident is a stark reminder that development and safety need to go hand in hand. 

What is the opinion of others on the platform. There have been other fire related incidents in other metro-cities as well.

[Thread] Extreme fire and ensuing destruction at Mudpipe, Hosur Road. Are we cutting corners on safety, in exchange of rampant development?

Hi people, as Mumbai is flooded with heavy rains, is it safe to to come to the Mumbai.
I have my tickets booked for upcoming Thursday.

Is It Safe to Travel Mumbai This Week

Living with a boyfriend is now unsafe.

Hey all, I'll be moving to Powai, Mumbai for my full time job in August. Wanted to know any tips that you all might have for me, little worried about budgeting as might have to save some for home as I gradually aim to take the home expenses on me(I'm natively from Delhi, so my family is there). If anybody have any female friend who is looking for flatmate then I would love to share accomodation.
PS: have been looking on FB groups, getsethome.com and many other platforms too, and willing to look for accomodation around 4-5 km to adjust to budget, if anyone knows some good localities which are safe for female then your help will be appreciated.

My heart is filled with nothing but disgust if these allegations are genuine. I hope this reaches its natural conclusion and justice prevails.
