A KKRTC bus set off from Kalaburagi towards Chincholi.

There was just one tiny issue.

The bus had no working headlights.

The driver still had to get everyone home. So the conductor took out his phone.

I thought he was trying to inspect the dashboard.

No.

He was compensating for the transport department's missing hardware.

For the next 84 kilometres, Karnataka's public transport was operating under the assumption that nobody called the conductor.

Then I remembered Karnataka still owes ₹4,573 crore in Shakti reimbursements to its RTCs.

Suddenly... the transport department's balance sheet had become visible.

By the time they reached Chincholi... the passengers had reached their destination safely.

The phone had done everything the headlights were supposed to do.

The transport department had reached a new low.

This is the schedule -- it's a celebration of diverse film tastes by The Parallel Cinema Club!

Hello Reddit Community,

My name is Dhwaniket Kamble, and I am reaching out with folded hands to seek help for my newborn twin daughters, Yuvaira and Dhwanica.

My twin baby girls were born prematurely on 24th March 2026, weighing only 550 grams and 560 grams.

Twin 1 – Yuvaira (Birth Weight: 550 grams)
Twin 2 – Dhwanica (Birth Weight: 560 grams)

Due to their extreme prematurity, they are currently in critical condition and receiving intensive treatment in the NICU at Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children, Parel, Mumbai. They are on ventilator support and require continuous monitoring, specialized medical care, and a prolonged hospital stay.

Although they have shown some progress, their condition remains extremely fragile.

Yuvaira currently weighs 780 grams
Dhwanica currently weighs 760 grams

They continue to require round-the-clock medical attention and specialized neonatal care.

Doctors have advised that both babies may need to remain in the NICU for approximately 70–80 days more to give them the best chance of survival and recovery.

Initially, they were admitted to Acme Hospital, Chembur, but due to the overwhelming treatment costs, we had to transfer them to Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital so they could continue receiving the life-saving care they urgently need.

Treatment Cost Breakdown

• Daily NICU expenses & Medicine : Approximately ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 Per day
• Estimated total treatment cost: ₹16,00,000
• Amount already spent: ₹5,00,000 from our savings

Our family has exhausted its savings trying to keep up with the medical expenses. Every day is a battle, and we are doing everything possible to save our daughters.

Hello Reddit family,

I am Rajdeep Roy and I am reaching out to you for your support. My mother (59 years old) is currently fighting a severe, multi-front health crisis. She is undergoing intensive treatment for a brain tumor, a severe kidney infection, and pneumonia, all compounded by pre-existing diabetes.

Because these critical conditions struck simultaneously, she requires aggressive, continuous medical intervention. On April 29th, she underwent a critical Kidney infection surgery for the Septic Shock. A week after her discharge she was again admitted to hospital due to pneumonia. She is currently in recovery phase. However, the brain tumor operation cannot be delayed further and needs to happen within the next 2 weeks.

The estimated cost for her treatment, specialized procedures, and recovery has already cross over ₹15 lakhs. We have exhausted our insurance coverage and personal savings, but we still face a massive shortfall to cover the remaining hospital bills. We urgently require an amount of ₹10 lakhs to proceed with the surgery.

Any contribution you can make will be greatly appreciated. If you cannot donate, sharing this post within your network would be immensely helpful. Thank you for your support during this difficult time.

This happened today in Bangalore, and I’m still shaken by it.
I had booked a Rapido auto for my brother and sister. The driver reached the pickup point, picked them up from inside my society, and even started the ride. Barely 100 meters later, at the society gate, he suddenly stopped the auto and refused to go any further.
He claimed that when he accepted the ride, the distance was 24 km, but after starting it, it was showing 27.5 km. He accused us of changing the destination after booking, which we absolutely did not do. As far as I know, passengers can’t even change the destination after the ride has started.
He then demanded ₹180 in cash, claiming he had driven 3 km just to reach the pickup location. That was a complete lie because when I booked the ride, he was only about 2 minutes away.
We tried explaining that there isn’t even an option for passengers to cancel the ride once it has already started. We also refused to pay ₹180 when the auto had barely moved 100 meters.
After arguing for a while, he suddenly changed his demand from ₹180 to ₹80. That made it even more obvious that the amount was completely arbitrary and not based on any genuine fare calculation.
That’s when he completely lost his temper.
He started shouting loudly at the society gate, creating a huge scene. Since the situation was escalating and I felt unsafe, I started recording the incident.
The moment he saw me recording, he got out of the auto and walked aggressively towards me. He pushed/almost pushed me, demanded that I delete the video, and started yelling things like, “Your father doesn’t pay for my CNG.” He also threatened me, saying we should go to the police station.
I told him I was perfectly fine going to the police station and even said I’d get my car so we could go together.
By then, several auto and cab drivers had gathered around us. The driver immediately changed his story in front of them. He started telling everyone that he had never demanded any money and that I had started fighting with him for no reason. He repeatedly complained that I had recorded him, conveniently leaving out everything that had happened before.
I’m not a native Kannada speaker and only speak broken Kannada, so suddenly being surrounded by a crowd of local drivers while one person was shouting at me was honestly very intimidating.
I have a short video that captures him stopping the auto, getting down, confronting me aggressively, and demanding that I delete the recording. Unfortunately, it doesn’t capture the beginning of the argument because I only started recording once he became aggressive.
I’ve already raised a complaint with Rapido, but I genuinely don’t think this should end with just a customer support ticket. A driver who can stop a ride midway, demand arbitrary cash, become physically aggressive, and threaten passengers for recording him is a safety concern.
Has anyone here had a similar experience?
Does Rapido actually take strict action in such cases?
Is filing a police complaint the better course of action, considering he physically intimidated me and tried to force me to delete the video?
Has anyone successfully escalated a case like this in Bangalore?
I’d really appreciate any advice. No one should have to deal with something like this just for booking an auto.

He futher questions the corrupt & lazy practice of the corrupt contractor for taking time for work completion.

Dear M & P,

Thank you for celebrating your love on this 3,000 million years old gnesis rock of our city.

The rock that was used by Kempegowda himself to build this watchpost... And god knows how old are those fading out lotus carvings...

M & P if you're reading this, know that your whatever "ship" or "thing" that is filled with such petty insecurities that you had to draw this, is going to end as fast as our city roads are dug up... But this piece of rock is going to stay far beyond me, the public, reddit and ofcourse you two idiots...

Ps:

1. Bugal rock park, Basavanagudi

2. The art wasn't there 2 days back

3. I rubbed off a previous one a couple months back with a piece of lemon & salt from a nearby bhelpuri vendor... This time its not coming off... Idk wtf is that material nailpolish or spray paint...

4. The park caretakers who're a couple old people give 2fs about it...
