Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a reliable maid near Alpine Eco Apartment.

Requirements:

• Vessel washing – Morning & Evening
• House cleaning (sweeping, mopping, and basic cleaning) - 2-3times a week
• We are only 2 people at home.

If you know anyone who is available or can recommend a trustworthy maid in this area, please let me know. Contact details or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I Need some buying advice.

I was recently laid off and have to return my company MacBook by 30th June, so I need a personal laptop soon. My budget is around ₹70–80k.

I was planning to buy a MacBook Air M2/M3, but they're no longer available on Amazon/Flipkart, and with Apple's recent price hikes, the newer models are out of my budget.

My primary use will be React, Next.js, React Native, interview prep, DSA, and personal projects.

What would you do in my situation?

Stretch the budget for a new MacBook?

Buy a Windows laptop now and switch to a Mac after getting a job?

Go for a refurbished M2/M3?

Would love to hear your suggestions!!

4 YOE in React.js & React Native.

Got laid off due to restructuring. My last working day is 30-06-2026.

I've been applying through multiple job portals, but responses have been minimal.

For the last 4 years, I barely had time to upskill because work was always hectic (sometimes even nights).

I'm thinking of taking a month to focus on Node.js and build a few full-stack projects instead of spending all my time applying.

Would you:

• Keep applying while learning?
• Or take a month to upskill first?

Also, if your company has any openings for Frontend (React/React Native) and you're open to referring me, I'd be really grateful.

One more thing—I also have 6 years of prior experience in Logistics & Operations, so I'm open to Product Manager/Product Owner opportunities in the logistics or supply chain domain as well.

Any advice or referrals would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I come from a middle-class family.

​

3 siblings.

​

My parents came to Bangalore just to survive and build a better life.

​

I worked night shifts during my school and college days.

​

Graduated from what people now call a Tier 3 college.

​

Back then, I had no idea what "Tier 3" meant. I chose it because the fees were affordable.

​

I started my career in Logistics & Food Delivery.

​

I spent 6 years there.

​

Switched to IT After COVID!

​

I spent the next 4 years learning and growing.

​

Then... got laid off last month.

​

Today, instead of worrying about everything, I'm sitting with my 3-year-old son, watching Motu Patlu.

​

Life has come full circle.

​

I've survived tougher days than this.

​

This layoff is just another chapter, not the end of the story.

​

Tomorrow, I'll start applying again.

​

Today, I'm just enjoying this little moment with my son. ❤️

I'm not posting this to complain for the sake of complaining.

I genuinely care about Bengaluru. This city gave many of us opportunities, careers and a life. That's exactly why it hurts to see residential areas slowly turning into garbage dumping spots.

This is from Vinayaka Layout, Chinnapanahalli (560093).

Problems we face regularly:

• Garbage gets dumped on the roadside.
• BBMP waste collection vehicles are irregular.
• When vehicles don't come on time, garbage piles up.
• Multiple complaints have been raised.
• The concerned person has been informed several times.
• Response and follow-up have been disappointing.
• No permanent solution has been implemented.

What frustrates me most is that this is completely avoidable. Regular collection, proper monitoring and accountability can solve most of these issues.

Bengaluru deserves better than this.

Location: Vinayaka Layout, Chinnapanahalli, Bengaluru.

Coming from a middle class family, I have started as office cleaning boy during my college days for part-time to night shifts, later as night shift security guard, washing cars for 300 per month for each car.

Later a food delivery as full-time, later got assistant delivery manager post, surivived somehow with 20k salary, after covid company closed, got some referance and gone into IT field as my graduation was related to computer science, but now again got hit by recent layoffs!!

now no interview calls!! dono where to start again now at my 30s!!

can someone really help me with some referrals please!!!

Tech Stack - ReactJS, React Native, Next.js
Experience - 4+ years

I worked as a frontend developer (reactjs, react native, angularjs) for 4+ years but suddenly they sent me home saying they don't need frontend developers anymore!

Clueless what is next?

Can someone help me with this? Should I have to start from zero again?💔

I'm in Bangalore, I'm married&have kid and a wife who are dependent on me&my salary!!

Garbage collection vehicle hasn’t come to our area for almost 1–2 weeks.

I raised a complaint through 1533, and when I called the staff number they shared, the response was:

“Workers have gone for West Bengal election work, so service is affected.”

I honestly don’t understand how an election in another state can affect basic hygiene in our area here in Bengaluru.

This is not against workers, but shouldn’t essential services like garbage collection have proper backup planning?

Garbage is piling up, stray dogs are tearing bags open, mosquitoes are increasing, and residents are forced to live like this for weeks.

Elections are important. Public hygiene is important too.
