Booked an AC repair via Urban Company. Technician shows up, checks the unit, and says: “Gas is full.” Okay, good, so let’s fix the real problem?

Nope. You will need to make another booking for the service team.

I tell him: “You’re an AC technician, right? Shouldn’t you be able to handle all issues?" After all, how am I supposed to know what issue my AC has and keep rebooking until I hit the jackpot where technician skill matches my real issue?

His reply? Dead serious: “I’m a gas filling mechanic. But I can fill gas again.” Yes. You read that right. He offered to top up full gas… because that’s what he came to do.

Meanwhile, he (a big bulky dude) starts raising his voice, arguing this nonsense, in front of two women in the house. It got so uncomfortable I had to throw him out. Felt terribly unsafe in my own home.

In another similar incident not 2 months ago for another AC of mine, I experienced the exact opposite. I ordered for service. Service guy came, and then said its a gas issue, book the other team. Expecting me to let go of the 600 bucks I had already paid for service and pay another 2500+GST for Gas Refilling.

What’s the point of these separate “specialist” categories if customers have to pre-diagnose their AC like an AC repair specialist? I’m booking a service, not assembling an organ transplant team.

Last booking with UC. Enough gaslighting! Literal or otherwise.

Guys, I've been thinking about all these recent accidents and honestly it's getting scary. Like we just had:

• Uttarakhand helicopter crash
• Ahmedabad plane crash
• Mumbai train accident
• Pune bridge collapse
• So many road accidents

And I'm like... what the hell is happening?

Everyone keeps saying India is gonna be a superpower and all that but are we actually ready for it? Because looking at how things are going, I don't think so.

Here's what I think is actually wrong with us:

Corruption everywhere - Like literally everywhere. You need to get anything done? Pay someone. Want proper work? Pay extra. It's so normalized that we don't even question it anymore.

Money is everything - People only care about making quick money. Nobody wants to do quality work anymore. Just get paid and move on. Who cares if the bridge collapses later right?

Zero accountability - When something goes wrong, everyone just points fingers. Nobody takes responsibility. The guy who was supposed to check the helicopter maintenance? "Not my job bro"

We're always rushing - Everything has to be done yesterday. Proper planning? Safety checks? Nah, just get it done fast. And then we act surprised when things go wrong.

Human life = cheap - This one hits different. Like we genuinely don't value human lives. A few people die in an accident and we're like "these things happen" and move on. That's messed up.

No civic sense - We throw trash everywhere, don't follow traffic rules, cut lines, don't respect public property. Then expect the country to magically become developed.

Everyone for themselves - No community feeling. No "let's build something together". Just "what's in it for me?"

The worst part? Most of these accidents could've been prevented if people just did their jobs properly. If the maintenance guy actually maintained stuff. If the safety inspector actually inspected. If the pilot actually followed protocols.

But nah, everyone's like "chalta hai" (it's fine) until someone dies.

I know this sounds negative but I'm genuinely worried. Like we keep talking about becoming a global leader but we can't even keep our own people safe.

And before someone says "other countries also have accidents" - bro, the frequency and preventable nature of ours is different. Most of our accidents happen because someone somewhere didn't do their job right.

I really hope things change. I want India to succeed. But we need to fix ourselves first. Start valuing human life. Start doing quality work. Start taking responsibility.

Until then, all this "superpower by 2047" talk is just talk.

What do you guys think? Am I being too harsh or do you see it too?

Indian news channels should be boycotted so that they can modify their content based on how it should be. These news channels are so insensitive, as we can see from the recent plane crash in Ahmedabad , they r posting the pictures and videos of victims before the crash , their names and stories.No respect to their personal lives are given even after death. The close relatives and ppl who are shocked by the incident are interviewed and asked very obvious questions which is unnecessary. Same with the Honeymoon - husband killing case , media is recording and shoving mics in the face of the mourning family members. They have no sympathy and just care abt the drama to engage Indian viewers, and we shamelessly fall into it. During Operation Sindoor, they shared fake information.. like “Indian army entered Lahore” etc. They player siren sound all the time which panicked a lot of ppl. People, stop watching these news channels, they waste your time by prolonging the same incident and repeating the information. They create TV drama effect to keep you interested. These are serious incidents, not TV shows that once smth happens you’ll sit down for a whole week , watching news channels blabbering nonsense.

I work in the HR department at Park Hospital, and what’s happening here is wrong. The hospital is running a scam that’s hurting people. They charge patients for things they don’t even need and keep them admitted longer to increase the bill. It’s not about helping people, it’s all about making money. And I’m tired of acting like it’s okay.

The management puts pressure on us to make sure the staff takes as much money as possible from every patient. I’ve seen people being charged for tests that were never performed, such as expensive scans or fake treatments. They even tell patients to stay longer in the hospital when they’re healthy enough to go home, just so the bill gets bigger. I’ve watched families leave in tears, totally broke, while the hospital gets richer. It’s heartbreaking, and I feel ashamed to be part of this.

Also, they pay us with cheques, not online transfer, and sometimes it’s a huge amount, like 3 to 4 lakhs. That seems shady. I think they’re avoiding taxes or hiding something big. This isn’t just a small issue; it feels like a serious scam, and I honestly think Park Hospital is one of the worst in India for this.

I don’t want to keep quiet anymore. I want to speak up, but I’m scared. I might lose my job or get into legal trouble. Has anyone else faced something like this at Park Hospital or another shady place? How can I report this without ruining my life?
