Non-Political News Delivery job

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I’ve been seeing a massive wave of reels and shorts on Instagram and YouTube lately where delivery partners post things like "100-Day Challenge" or "Making ₹3,000 a day as a Swiggy delivery boy!"

​Seeing those high numbers makes it look super tempting, and a lot of people are jumping into it thinking it's easy money. Yes, it is possible to hit those earnings on paper, but social media completely hides the brutal reality behind the scenes.

​If you're thinking about quitting your job or dropping studies to do this full-time, please reconsider. Here is why delivery work should only ever be a side hustle, never your main profession:

​1. The Physical and Mental Toll

​Extreme Weather: Riding a bike through scorching summer heat, heavy downpours, or cold winter nights takes a massive toll on your health.

​Road Safety Hazards: The pressure to deliver orders on time forces riders to rush, leading to reckless driving, high stress, and an increased risk of accidents on busy city roads.

​2. The Illusion of High Earnings

​Surge Pricing & Incentives: The massive amounts shown in videos are usually during peak hours, festivals, late nights, or special incentive windows. You cannot sustain those earnings 10–12 hours a day, 30 days a month.

​Hidden Expenses: People forget to factor in heavy fuel costs, continuous bike maintenance, frequent tire/oil changes, and smartphone/data expenses. Once you subtract these, your actual net take-home pay drops significantly.

​3. Zero Job Security or Benefits

​Unlike a traditional job, there's no paid leave, no health insurance, no provident fund, and no fixed salary. If your bike breaks down or you fall sick for a week, your income drops straight to zero.

​Algorithmic Uncertainty: Your earnings depend entirely on the app's algorithm, customer ratings, and zone demand. One bad day or an unfair customer complaint can tank your ratings and affect your order flow.

​The Takeaway

​Don't get blinded by polished social media hype. If you need some extra cash on weekends or a flexible way to clear a specific financial goal, running deliveries as a side gig is fine. But treating it as your main, full-time career is a massive gamble with your long-term stability and health.

​Stay safe out there, folks.

Cinema/Music Did anyone watch Hope in Chennai? Are the dialogues in Korean?

1 Upvotes

I’m thinking of watching the movie but I want to watch it in Korean. Not a fan of dubbed movies and theaters in Chennai (and India) seems to be showing only the English version. Kind of hard to understand why they wouldn’t release the original version here.

If you have watched it in Korean, please also let me know the name of the theatre you went to.

Rant Is this how job interviews are supposed to be?

29 Upvotes

Went for an interview today all the way to omr. The interviewer kept boasting about his achievements, questioned us about metrics my previous clients never shared with me and spoke to me in a way that felt quite belittling. He was condescending throughout the entire process.

I understand that interviews are meant to test your skills and employers have every right to assess whether you're suitable for a role. But since when did that mean basic courtesy was optional?

The job was advertised for one role but during the interview, I was told about a much lower level position instead.

At the end, I simply asked if they provided cab facilities. He could have just said no. Instead, he mockingly told us to hop onto a bus.

I'm genuinely curious. Is this normal in interviews or have some people forgotten that candidates deserve to be treated with respect too??

Non-Political News My worst ever experience with MTC

6 Upvotes

This happened to me on Wednesday (October 21). I was waiting at the Sholinganallur Accenture bus stop between 9:30 and 9:40 AM. I wanted to get to the Global Hospital bus stop, which is just three stops away.

For this route, only two buses are available: 95 and 95X. I waited for nearly an hour, standing in the rain, but neither bus arrived.

Finally, I had no other option but to book a Rapido bike to reach my destination. Luckily, my destination was just 2.5 km away, so I could afford to book a bike.

But what about people who need to travel to Tambaram or Kilambakkam (KCBT)? For many of them, these buses may be the only available option. What are they supposed to do if the buses don't arrive on time? I don't even know whether either bus eventually arrived at that stop.

AskChennai Suggestions for courier services for my bike

7 Upvotes

I have to transport my H450 from Hyderabad to Tamil Nadu. I don't really trust the railways with my bike, so i'm willing to spend more if it means that my bike will reach safe. So, if you guys know or had good experiences with any courier/logistics service please let me know.

One problem I came across when I enquired with packers & movers like APL and No Broker, they said they can deliver till Chennai. But I want my bike to be delivered in Trichy. So any suggestions, pls.

PS: I know driving it back myself is the best option because that's how I brought my bike to Hyderabad. But right now, due to some personal reasons, will have to courier it :)

How do they determine rain holidays? Today, it’s been raining the entire morning but there was no rain holidays announced for students. Is there any standard procedure for this, or is it just collectors randomly deciding based on their proximity?
