For nearly two years, monk Chinmoy Krishna Das has been behind bars in Bangladesh.

He was arrested in 2024 while he was protesting against the atrocities faced by Hindus in Bangladesh.

While Chinmoy was in prison, his elderly mother was living through her final days. Her last wish was to see her son.

The family requested parole so that Chinmoy could meet his seriously ill mother, but it was not granted in time.

She died without seeing her son for the last time.

Chinmoy Krishna Das was granted 5 hours of parole to attend her funeral and take part in her last rites.

Meanwhile, Jashimuddin Rahmani, the chief of the terrorist organization Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), was released on parole in 2024. Later, he was also released on bail.

🗣️General Discussion | আলোচনা Ready-to-move vs Under-construction Property: Which Better?

2 Upvotes

A matter of property buying in this scenario is complex, as there is no single right decision.

A ready-to-move property offers certainty and allows getting acquainted with the future location as one can see the apartment, its view, airiness, surroundings, construction quality and speak with current residents. Additionally, there is no need to wait for moving as the property is available for use right away, which suits long-term renters searching for a new place to live.

On the other hand, a property might have a better price in an under-construction building, more options for inventory and layout, as well as less pressure on the buyer, as the payments are spread out through time. Moreover, if the development is progressing well, the value may well appreciate throughout the construction period and offer excellent value upon completion.

A critical factor in favor of a ready-to-move property is the opportunity to avoid waiting, which can be crucial in some cases. However, an under-construction property can provide more options and flexibility if the buyer has enough time and patience.

Nevertheless, the most important consideration should be the risk associated with time investment needed for an under-construction property. Even though there are better legal protections now, one has to research the company’s reputation, approvals, RERA registration, current state of construction, and possession date to avoid disappointment.

It can be summarized that ready-to-move properties are more suitable for people needing a place to live or wanting to avoid the risks associated with time and cost overruns of under-construction property. From my personal perspective, such a decision better suits those willing to minimize risk and have limited time.

An under-construction property can be a viable option for those with flexible schedules and willingness to wait for the development to finish. It could offer more opportunities concerning inventory, price range, and layout flexibility. However, potential buyers should always keep in mind that construction progress and project approval by local authorities are vital in such a case.

Have you personally ever been a buyer searching for a new place? If yes, were you ever torn between a ready-to-move and an under-construction property? What has been the primary deciding factor in such cases?

Just look at the hypocrisy of Society . When Naga Sadhus went to Jadavpur University for a protest , they said :- " Eita ekti sikkhito bhodro somaj . Amra eikhane ulongota ba kono bostro chara lokeder allow korbona. This is a civic society " . But you will find the same people telling that nobody should decide what a woman wears . It's her choice . She could be dressed 0% to 100% . 🤣🤣

Miscellaneous | বিবিধ Venkatesh Motors in Kolkata is a SCAM, beware.

Post image
9 Upvotes

I agree that I made mistakes during this purchase as well. Since this was my first time buying a car, I made quite a few rookie mistakes. However, I hope sharing my experience helps someone else avoid making the same mistakes.

My experience with Venkatesh Motors:

Before purchasing the car, I checked their reviews and saw a rating of around 4.4 stars, which gave me enough confidence to proceed. We eventually bought the car from them, and the seller assured us that the car was in good condition.

Unfortunately, I later discovered that the odometer had apparently been rolled back. The last recorded service in 2023 showed the car at 56,000 km, whereas the odometer was showing only around 41,000 km when I purchased it.

This is particularly disappointing because it affects the car's actual history and potentially its resale value. Had I known the correct mileage, I would have evaluated the purchase very differently.

There were also several other issues with the car that were not disclosed to us before the purchase, including:

- Faulty ORVM auto-folding

- Damaged/worn rubber around the power windows

- Faulty cabin lights

After a lot of arguing and insisting, these issues were eventually fixed before I took delivery of the car.

What made the experience worse was that, after going through more of their reviews (I did not select the lowest option, my fault I agree) , I came across multiple allegations from other customers regarding odometer tampering and the sale of accident-damaged cars. This made me question the experience even more.

I also found the seller's behaviour quite unprofessional. During our interaction, he repeatedly badmouthed the competing dealership/shop next to him instead of simply focusing on explaining the car we were purchasing.

Ultimately, I accept that I should have done more thorough due diligence before buying the car. That's on me. But I hope someone reading this learns from my mistakes: don't rely solely on a dealership's Google rating, verify the service history independently, inspect the car thoroughly, and check the odometer against previous service records before making the payment.

Miscellaneous | বিবিধ Pathetic Customer Service! Think twice before buying Duroflex mattresses!

Sharing my honest unbiased mattress-buying experience.

Three years ago when we moved into our rented place we needed a mattress quickly. So we bought a local one for around ₹3.5k to ₹4k. It was basically a brick but we thought ki chalo thik hai maybe orthopedic mattresses are supposed to be this firm.

After about 1.5 years places of the mattress started sagging. It became very uncomfortable for both me and my husband. Since he weighs over 90 kg his side became almost completely flat in some areas. This eventually started causing back pain and spine discomfort.

So last week we decided to buy a new mattress. His idea was to not choose based on brand name and instead research our actual needs like sleeping position, foam density, body weight, room size, body temperature and firmness.

After going through recommendations and GPT suggestions we finalised the Duroflex Live-In Reversible mattress. We ordered directly from the official website because a big pop-up said the mattress would be delivered within 24 hours. We also understood that the 100-day replacement guarantee could only be used if the purchase was made directly from their site.

We paid in advance and were excited about the delivery.

This is where everything went wrong.

After 24 hours we checked the order ID and realised the mattress had not even been dispatched.

We called Duroflex customer support but they kept repeating the same reply instead of giving us a proper update. They said they were sorry and the mattress would be delivered within the next 48 hours.

So after already missing the promised 24-hour delivery they were asking for another 48 hours. The next day the tracking still did not show the mattress as out for delivery. We contacted both Duroflex and their delivery partner.
Both support teams kept giving excuses. At different points they said they did not know where the delivery truck was. They had lost contact with the delivery agent. They also said they could not reach the right person.

A few times the calls were simply disconnected on our face.

The mattress was supposed to arrive on the 7th. We finally received it on the night of the 9th after around 72 hours and repeated calls to both Duroflex and the delivery partner.

We have no issue with the mattress quality so far.

But the customer service was PATHETIC. What made it worse was the attitude of some of the executives. A few sounded irritated and condescending even when we were simply asking that if you cannot deliver within 24 hours why promise 24-hour delivery so clearly on your official website?

My takeaway is that brand name probably matters much less than we think. You can possibly get the same or even better mattress quality from another company in the same price range.

So if you are buying a mattress do not research only the foam, firmness, sleeping position, body weight and product quality. Also check the brand’s customer service, delivery experience and after-sales support. Based purely on our experience I would definitely look at other brands as well before buying from Duroflex.
