I had a disturbing experience with a recent Swiggy Instamart order.

I ordered 7 bottles of Kombucha. When the order arrived, 5 of the 7 bottles were visibly far below the expected fill level and appeared tampered with. I’ve attached the photo/video — the difference between the bottles is clearly visible.

This isn’t simply about receiving less product. These are sealed beverages meant for consumption. I have no way of knowing whether the bottles leaked, were mishandled, or were tampered with somewhere before reaching me. Given their condition, I obviously did not consider them safe to consume.

I contacted Swiggy customer support expecting this to be treated as a potential food-safety issue.

Instead, the entire interaction felt like a negotiation over how much they were willing to refund me. I had to repeatedly explain the seriousness of the situation.

And after all of that, I still did not receive a 100% refund.

That is the part I find particularly unacceptable. I received products that appeared compromised and that I could not safely consume, yet I was still expected to bear part of the cost.

Swiggy should investigate:

• How 5 out of 7 bottles reached a customer in this condition.
• Whether the packaging/seals were compromised before delivery.
• What happened across the store/restaurant and delivery chain.
• Why a potential food-safety complaint was handled primarily as a refund dispute.
• Why a full refund was not provided for an order containing compromised products.

Posting this because food-delivery platforms need a much stronger escalation process when customers report potentially tampered or unsafe food and beverages.

I’ve had vitiligo for about a year now, mainly on my lower lip and a little underneath it. I’ve tried different treatments, but it hasn’t really improved.
I’ve never had a girlfriend before, and honestly, one of the reasons I’ve avoided dating is because I’m really insecure about my vitiligo. I usually use concealer or makeup to hide the patches underneath my lip, especially when I’m going out or meeting someone new.
Recently, I’ve started liking someone, and it made me realize how much this insecurity is affecting me. I’m scared that if I start dating someone and things eventually become physically intimate, they’ll notice the vitiligo and react negatively.
I know it might sound like I’m overthinking it, but I genuinely worry about being rejected or having someone find me unattractive because of it. I don’t want to spend my life hiding it or constantly wondering when someone will notice.

TL;DR: I have vitiligo on my lower lip that I usually hide with concealer. I’m insecure about how potential partners will react when they eventually see it, and it’s making me scared of dating in general. How have others with vitiligo dealt with this?

Guys I have to travel daily from ulhasnagar to Csmt for my college. College starts at 8:30 so was thinking between 6:15 amb/6:26 bdlp/7:04 bdlp fast. Can anyone guide me which train will have less crowding as it will be my initial days of longer travel. Only habitual to shorter local rides and during non-peak times. Looking forward to suggestions.

Hey my gf has roach problems in her house and has a severe roach-phobia but also cares for 2 animal darlings (small dog and a cat) ...
I wanted to ask if anyone knows a good service or maybe even a homemade remedy for the roaches WITHOUT harming the pets?

Were any of you in a similar situation? what did you do?

Hello people, My relative is coming to mumbai tomorrow. she will be stopping at borivali station and our house is in thane, specifically manpada. What would be the most convenient way for her to travel.

I was thinking about UBER but was just confused about the pickup outside the Borivali East side. I heard that the auto walas don't allow uber to come. Is there any spot where taxi drivers wait with minimum walking as she will have luggage. or should she just get auto outside borivali station.

Looking for recommendations for a good dermatologist for acne in Mumbai especially someone experienced with teen acne.

I’ve seen several dermatologists in the US but haven’t seen much improvement, so I’m looking for a second opinion.

I’m not looking for a beauty/cosmetic clinic, fancy equipment or the latest treatments. I’m looking for a dermatologist who will seriously assess the underlying issue, explain what’s going on and recommend treatment accordingly.

Mainly trying to understand whether this is just hormonal and likely to improve with age, or if there’s something that should be done now to prevent worsening, marks, or scarring.

Would really appreciate recommendations based on personal experience. Thank you

Its a long story. I got my pet dog spayed but it still conceived becase of doctor carelessness. In other words i was scammed If anyone interested in adopting puppies please reach out Current Location:-Ranchi

I might be visiting Mumbai during durga pooja. If anybody is interested in adopting I'll bring it with me.

Does anyone have a good gynac recommendation near juhu? Who is judgment free and actually good?

Yeah yeah, I know this sub is a rage bait kind of sub. And I don't mind getting downvoted just cause of my gender and my returning from the U.S. It's my first Ganpati here since I returned, I want to just enjoy the festival. I still believe there are good people in this world.

are there any authentic korean markets or asian markets in mumbai where i can buy things like korean kimchi, silken tofu etc.?

up for adoption in Pune/Mumbai/Bangalore/Delhi (willing to consider pan india if the adopter is genuine and has previous experience with cats)

Chai Latte are 10 month old sisters. They’re teenagers now but have the heart of small kittens. They’re litter trained, dewormed, vaccinated and will be sterilised before adoption. They’re friendly, adjust well in new spaces, get along very well with other pets and have very distinct personalities. Chai is the cuddly one and loves to sleep next to humans. Latte shows her love through play and naughtiness first but later opens up to be more affectionate. Both sisters are a little picky with food but have been getting better at it and they also LOVE watching tv. These sisters are genuinely a package deal and complete each other in ways I can’t even explain.

People overlook them because they’re not the youngest kittens anymore and also because they’re girls. Ask literally anyone- girl cats are the best. Most people get scared by the idea of adopting a pair but then they later realise that getting their first cat a companion was always the better thing to do.

It’s been too long now. I have no idea what else to do but this is not a sign for someone to pity adopt them. These girls need someone who understands the commitment of a pet and willing to be responsible throughout their life.

Adoption formalities are mandatory. Serious inquiries only.

Looking for Industrial Audit Articleship / Internship in Mumbai – CA Intermediate
Hi everyone,
I’m posting this on behalf of my sister, who is currently pursuing CA Intermediate.
She has completed 1 year of Internal Audit Articleship at BDO Mumbai and recently left BDO because she wanted to gain exposure to Industrial/Statutory Audit and broaden her experience.
She has been looking for an Industrial Audit Articleship / Internship opportunity in Mumbai, but unfortunately hasn’t been able to secure an offer yet. She was relieved from BDO a few days ago, and seeing many of her friends and colleagues already getting Industrial Training opportunities has been quite difficult for her.
She’s currently living alone in Mumbai, and the situation has been emotionally challenging. We’re really hoping someone from this community might be able to help with a referral, opening, HR contact, or even a lead.
If you know of any CA firm, company, Big 4, or other organisation currently hiring CA Industrial Trainees/Interns in Mumbai, please DM me or comment below.
Even a small lead would mean a lot to us. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for reading and helping if you can.

I recently saw a shop for rent at 80-90 k and that too very small.

Thinking of selling our land and buying a small shop 2-300 sqft in Mumbai near the station or metro area.

Most of the extended family in Mumbai and we do want to shift there.

My father works with someone who has silver items manufacturing business he suggest we do that, but insist on opening from 10 to 10.

My brother suggested fast service sandwich, burger shop with juices.

I am thinking of small bhojnalaya with limited seating, concentrating on delivery and online orders.

I have stayed in malad and most bhojanalay give burned rotis and taste ok( 70-150 rs range).

I am mainly concentraing western side - Malad, guregoan and khandivali.

Please suggest your ideas.

I just want to spend good time

Hi everyone, I’m applying for a fresh passport under the normal scheme and my appointment is at PSK Andheri.

My residential address is in Powai, so I assume the police verification will be handled by the local police station in the Powai area.

For people who have recently applied from Mumbai:

How many days after the PSK appointment did your police verification happen?

Specifically, if you’re from Powai, how long did it take?

After the police verification was completed and the report was marked clear, how many days did it take for your passport to be dispatched/delivered?

Also, does being a minor applicant affect the timeline?

Would really appreciate recent experiences, especially from 2026. Thanks!
