I ran my first 10K last week in Bangalore.

Do we receive an official certificate for completing the race?

As if the event wasn't poorly organised enough, even the post-race experience was disappointing. We didn't receive our official timings until the afternoon, and the official race photos were made available only late at night.

I'm now waiting for the official e-certificate.

Do they provide one, or should I stop waiting?

ವಿಕೇಂಡ್ ಮುಗಿಯಿತು. ಊರಿನಿಂದ ಮರಳಿ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಹೊರಡುವ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಗೀಚಿದ ಕೆಲವು ಸಾಲುಗಳು

ಊರ ಮಡಿಲನು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಪಟ್ಟಣಕ್ಕೆ ತೆರಳುವ ಈ ದಿನ,

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಯಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ಬದುಕಿಗೆ ಹಿಂದೇಟು ಹಾಕುತ್ತಿದೆ ಈ ಮನ.

ಕರ್ತವ್ಯದ ಕರೆಯನು ಮೀರಲಾಗದ ಈ ಗಳಿಗೆ

ಜೀವವ ಊರಲ್ಲೇ ಬಿಟ್ಟು, ಬರಿ ದೇಹವ ಹೊತ್ತು ಹೊರಟಿಹೆ, ಮರಳಿ ಗೂಡಿಗೆ.

Hi everyone,

Posting on behalf of my 23-year-old niece.

She's a BBA graduate with 1.5 years of experience in MIS reporting, visual merchandising, retail operations, customer service, and Microsoft Excel.

She's looking to transition from a field-based role to a stable office-based position, preferably in MIS, Operations, Back Office, Administration, or Retail Support.

If anyone knows of any openings or can offer a referral, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

I have a friend who recently retired from the Indian Army after 5 years as a commissioned officer.

His key skills include:

​

* Defence procurement and GeM tendering

* Stakeholder management with Army, Navy and defence OEMs

* UAV/drone systems exposure and defence technology projects

​

​

He's looking to transition into the private sector and is specifically seeking opportunities in Bangalore due to personal reasons.

​

If anyone knows of relevant openings or can help with referrals, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Looking at the recent posts, at this sub seems to be turning into an advisory service for people in their 20s and 30s.
I don't mind younger folks seeking perspective. But lately the ratio feels a bit off.
And then we even had a few brave souls asking about finding sugar mommies.

Can we hear more from the actual 40s folks

I own a 2018 Vitara Brezza diesel AMT. Recently, during a long highway drive, the AMT transmission warning light came on while driving. The car was still moving normally, but I stopped safely, switched off the engine for a minute, restarted, and continued driving.

After another 50–60 km, the same warning appeared again. This repeated around 3–4 times during the trip. There was no blinking “N”, no major jerking, and the car did not go into limp mode.

Later, I took the car to an authorised service centre. They inspected it and said there is leakage in the AMT unit. According to them, the AMT unit is not repairable and the entire unit along with the clutch assembly needs replacement, costing more than ₹1 lakh.

Interestingly, the advisor himself suggested not to replace it immediately because of the high cost. He said I can continue driving carefully for now, especially by avoiding aggressive or very long drives.

Now, here is the background which makes me doubtful about the diagnosis.

Around 5 months ago, during another highway trip, the engine thermostat failed and the engine started overheating. Since I was travelling with family and was far from home, I had to get it repaired at a local garage.

In the Suzuki diesel engine, the thermostat is located close to the AMT unit. To replace the thermostat, the mechanic had removed/moved the AMT unit for access. I personally feel that while refitting, there might have been some issue with sealing or alignment, which could possibly be causing this leakage now.

Is there any other fix possible.

Im from Bangalore. So if there is any other option I can explore in Bangalore, it would be great.

Would really appreciate genuine suggestions before spending such a huge amount.
