Bhai, mujhe kaafi time se lag raha hai ki NBPDCL smart meters mein kuch issue hai. Main joint family ke 3 CA numbers/meters manage karta hoon aur teeno ka bill/recharge dekhta hoon.

Example: is meter ka monthly average consumption sirf ~20 units hai, phir bhi reading 162 units tak pahunch gayi. September mein ₹100 recharge bhi kiya tha, phir bhi balance kuch hi din mein -₹700.08 ho gaya. Ye calculation samajh nahi aa rahi.

Complaint karna bhi difficult hai—app properly kaam nahi karta aur 1912 se bhi issue solve nahi hota. Smart meter lagne ke baad se mere saath multiple times aisa hua hai, aur kuch logon ke high reading ke issues bhi hain.

Bihar mein hi itne bade scale par implementation kyun kiya gaya jab system abhi bhi itna unreliable lag raha hai?

Kya kisi aur ko NBPDCL smart meter mein abnormal reading ya negative balance ka issue aa raha hai?

Booked 4 confirmed 1st AC tickets (full cabin), but due to a medical reason we had to travel with 5 people. Everything was going fine until Prayagraj, where the TTE arrived and informed us that the extra passenger would have to pay a ₹4255 penalty.

I said, "No problem sir, I'll pay via UPI." He generated a QR code on his device. I scanned it... Transaction failed. Tried again... failed. Tried from my father's phone... failed again. Around 5 attempts, same receiver bank issue every single time.

Then he asked for cash. We refused because we didn't have enough cash. Finally, the extra person said, "Theek hai sir, main sleeper coach chala jata hoon."

At that point, the TTE literally had no option left. 😅

The funny part? I wasn't happy because we saved money. I was happy because the TTE experienced the same frustration that lakhs of passengers face while booking Tatkal—payment issues, failed transactions, and a broken booking system. For once, the frustration was on the other side. 😁🚆

This is the layout of our house (ground floor is almost complete). In a few days, the roof slab will be finished, and later we'll build one room on the rooftop. This will be my room whenever I visit my hometown.

I don't have much experience with house design, so I'd like advice before construction starts.

Things I'm thinking about:

- Summers here get very hot, so how can I keep the room cooler?

- Best room size and layout?

- Should I add a small attached bathroom or leave space for future expansion?

- Any mistakes people commonly regret when building a rooftop room?

The plot layout is attached. I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas before we finalize the design.
