Can my brother be the co-applicant for an education loan?
I’m planning to take an education loan for my final-year college fees. Can my brother be the co-applicant/co-borrower instead of my father? Has anyone successfully taken an education loan with their brother as the co-applicant? Any bank/PM-Vidyalaxmi experience would be helpful.
Surtis, how do you rate the new Surat Bus Station?
I've travelled across most parts of Gujarat and used bus stations in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Rajkot and many other cities. Honestly, the new Surat Bus Station looks like it could be one of the best in Gujarat!
Especially because the old Surat station was honestly one of the worst I've seen - even some village bus stations felt better. 😭
This new one looks like a massive upgrade, with bus + railway + metro connectivity in one place. Hopefully, it's maintained properly for years and the authorities keep up the good work.
But we citizens also have a responsibility - don't litter, spit, damage property or misuse facilities. Let’s keep it as good as we got it.
Surtis, what's your rating?
Reported 5 unknown SIMs on my name over a month ago. Still no action.
I found 5 SIM cards registered in my name on the Sanchar Saathi/TAFCOP portal.
I reported all of them on 29 June 2026, but even after more than a month, they are still showing under my name. The status hasn't changed, and the numbers haven't been removed.

Plz help. Amazon ICICI credit card
Applied for the Amazon ICICI Credit Card. Reason: "Rejected due to Non Target Company."
785 CIBIL &I'm currently self-employed.
What exactly does "Non Target Company" mean? Has anyone else faced this? Were you ever approved later?
Amazon ICICI Card Rejected 4 Times Without Any Reason
I've applied for the Amazon ICICI Credit Card four times, and every application has been rejected without any reason.
My profile: CIBIL Score: 785 I already have an Axis Bank credit card with a ₹1 lakh limit Regular ITR with a decent income No missed payments or defaults.
I'm genuinely confused about what's causing the rejection. Has anyone else faced something similar? Were you ever able to find the actual reason or get the card approved later? Would appreciate any insights or suggestions.
2TB SSD Price Shock
I was planning to buy a portable SSD around February 2025. Back then, a good 2TB Samsung SSD was around ₹15–16k, but I skipped it because I managed my storage somehow.
Today I checked again, expecting to buy the latest Samsung model, and I was genuinely shocked. The 2TB version is around ₹47k, and some variants are even ₹55k to 60k. I checked other brands too, and almost every portable SSD seems to be 2x–4x more expensive than last year.
What exactly happened to the SSD market? Is this mainly because of AI demand and NAND shortages?
More importantly, do you think prices will come back down in 2027, or is this the new normal? I'm trying to decide whether to wait or just buy one now.
Should I repair my 10-year-old school laptop?
This HP laptop was given to me by my school in 2017 for scoring good marks in my 10th standard. It isn't a powerful laptop, but it's been with me for almost 10 years, so I'm emotionally attached to it.
I mostly use it to read PDFs, store old notes, photos, videos, and other memories. Today I made a really stupid mistake. I had left a pen on the keyboard, and without noticing it, I closed the lid. I heard a crack. The outer glass is perfectly fine, but the LCD cracked from the inside.
Model: HP Notebook 15-ay016tu year: 2017 Processor: Intel Celeron N3060 RAM: 4 GB DDR3 Storage: 500 GB HDD Display: 15.6" HD (1366×768)
how much would the screen replacement cost in surat? Is it worth repairing a laptop this old, or should I let it go?
Where does the PM CARES Fund actually go? Genuinely asking.
I donated ₹10 to the PM CARES Fund during COVID in 2020. Can someone tell me where my ₹10 is now? 😂
Who else still remembers the 2006 Surat floods? What do you remember most?
Yesterday's rain in Surat brought back memories of 2006. The flooded roads, water everywhere, traffic coming to a standstill, and people struggling to get home - it felt like I had gone back 20 years.
18 Years Later... But at What Cost?
On 26 July 2008, Ahmedabad witnessed one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Gujarat's history. 21 coordinated bomb blasts ripped through the city within about 70 minutes, killing 56 innocent people and injuring more than 200. Hospitals, markets, buses, and crowded public places were targeted, leaving families devastated.
The investigation was massive. Out of 77 accused, 28 were acquitted due to lack of evidence, while 49 were convicted by a special court in 2022. Among those convicted, 38 were awarded the death penalty and 11 were sentenced to life imprisonment, based on the court's assessment of their individual roles in the conspiracy.
Now, in July 2026, nearly 18 years after the attacks, the Gujarat High Court has upheld those sentences—confirming the death penalty for 38 convicts and life imprisonment for 11.
But here's the bigger question: Why does it take nearly two decades for such a high-profile terror case to reach this stage?
The victims never got a second chance. Their families have lived with the loss every single day. Meanwhile, the people convicted in this case are still alive as appeals and other legal proceedings continue. This raises a serious question about our justice system. If it takes almost two decades for a terror case to reach this stage, what message does that send to victims' families and to society?
If one of India's biggest terror cases takes 18 years to conclude, what does that say about the speed of justice for ordinary people?

સુરત ના પોલીસ કમિશનર અને બીજા પોલીસ કર્મચારીઓ વિના side mirror અને expired puc, insurance વાળી bike ચલાવે છે!!! Challan પણ છે!! ઉપરથી દિવસે headlight ચાલુ રાખી bike ચલાવે છે, ભલે પછી સામે vehicle ચલાવનાર ની આંખો માં જાય!!
મને પોલીસ થી કોઈ problem નહી.. પણ vehicle act પાલન બંને બાજુથી થવું જોઈએ.
Surat becomes the final destination every monsoon. The roads make sure of it. 😂
એક બાજુ મેટ્રો ના લીધે one side રસ્તો છે ઉપરથી રસ્તા માં ખાડે ખાડા .... સામે યમરાજ દેખાય છે રસ્તા પર નીકળીએ ત્યારે 😭🙂
Do you think this initiative should be implemented across all of Surat?
Varachha Police has assigned every auto-rickshaw a unique 2-digit identifier, making it easier for passengers to report an auto if needed.
