TLDR - MBA season ended for me w/o convert. Looking for job roles and study partner.

As title suggests, it is what it is. GNEM 9/9/8

Used to score 100-110 in mocks for CAT ... Had a really strong hold on quant. But D-day decides everything ... Ended up not getting calls from ABCKI at all this year.

Gave XAT ... A ray of hope with 99.45%ile but butchered the interviews. HRM reject and BM JSR Unconvertible. This is it for this year ig.

Won't give the whole 'general male' excuses ... I think it's definitely on me. Haven't really stepped up well in pressure days in past as well but whatever ... Will prepare better next year.

Some requests if possible -

- As I'm graduating this month with a degree in physics, kindly suggest some jobs/internships/companies/roles that I can target so as to gain some

corporate experience I can justify in interviews.

(Skills - Python, pandas, SQL, Power BI, Tally etc)

- As I'll be at home, I'll appreciate an online study partner for mock analysis and revision to keep accountability. Would be happy to learn, share notes and insights.

Over a year ago, I began searching for PGs near IIT Bombay for my thesis, as external students aren't provided hostels. I chose Lexus Living due to its proximity (\~300m) and reasonable price for double occupancy. Little did I know the challenges I would face in the months to follow.

Seven months later, fed up with the unsanitary conditions and with my college allowing me to finish my thesis online, I decided to head back to Pune. I had a long call with Shashi and his "sidekick" to ensure my exit followed the rent agreement, especially since I had to report back to college in four days to secure my room. They agreed I could leave some belongings behind and collect them later. Following their specific advice to ensure a valid notice, I sent the formal text on the 25th—the same day rent was due. I did exactly as we discussed, thinking I was in the clear.

Acc to their rule, security refund is processed between 30-45 days, so naturally on the first week of December, I reminded them of the deposit. To my surprise, Shashi blatantly refused citing invalid notice clause and that no refund is to be given. I reminded him of what he said and asked him to let me talk to his sidekick (Vicky). After a long chat, they admitted there has been a misunderstanding from their side and that, they'll process the refund next week. I called in the next week, where they again cited the invalid notice and again I had to remind them of what they said. This time, they told a mail for processing the refund will come the next week. Yep, u guessed it ... No mail came. Everytime I called, either Shashi was in an accident only to be absolutely fine the next time I call only to hear that his grand mother was hospitalized (prime excuse of every scammer) and so on until he finally said -'main agli baar block kar dunga'.

This weekly fiasco continued till Feb when my father had enough and landed a call directly to the owner of the PG (Balbir Singh). He was apologetic for all this and assured he'll treat this matter judiciously and that from now on, we should only contact him. That as u might hv guessed ... Was an ACT as well. Over all the times I've called him, either he was going to visit his son in the US, was in a political rally, in meeting or was simply 'busy'. The only constant thing was ... 'aapko next week mail aa jaayega'.

March end, I called only to learn that Shashi and his sidekick have been terminated and that he'll look into this personally. After a week, he called to let us know that ... *drum rolls* ... 'sir aapka notice invalid h'. I've not seen a more retard human being in my whole life. All the drama, all the termination, all the takeovers just to tell THIS. Obviously, I retaliated, gave proofs and as always ... 'sir next week aapko mail aa jaayega'. And then the same drill next week.

As April approached, I asked him to speed up the process as I need some money in hand to apply for PhDs and the applications are coming to an end to which he replied -'sir baat matt khecho, bol diya na next thursday'. I obliged ... I had to. Last week I had an accident and required minor surgery in my hand. Texted him regarding this ... Message seen ... No reply. Last Thursday, my father had enough and all gave Monday as an ultimatum or we'll have to proceed to court. Today is Monday ... Nothing's gonna happen ik.

Tbh idc anymore now. Yes the money's gonna hurt us, but we're tired atp. I'm at home focusing on my recovery now and I've made peace with all this. Please refrain from staying at any place listed under RentOK as they all come under Lexus Living.

Some other facts regarding the issue -

\- When I was shown the room, I was asked to pay Rs. 6k to the third party broker (\~25F and \~25M) for their involvement. They were getting restless about the money so my father paid as I had a train back to Pune on the same day. After they were gone, the caretaker (Shashi) came in to tell me, they don't have any third party brokers and that we've been scammed. He said, I'll give him the transaction details and board my train safely (pretty sure he was involved now if I see this). Not received that amount as well.

\- The conditions there (Maruti Darshan Apartment) were horrible ... Rats of the size of cats roaming around, took a month only to install a bulb in the room and 2 months for pest control.

\- Rent giving date was 25th every month and they constantly asked for the rent as early as 22nd and called in after every 4 hours. I'm always the regular one having paid all my rents within an hour of recieving the receipt.

\- Maintained rent agreement on RentOK app and just blatantly logged me out of the app when I dropped the notice.

\- No one kept a check on security guards who constantly kept harassing the tenants for money.
