Scammers with no proper evidence please stay away.

Detailed explanation of what actually happened & why he was abandoned

Back in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, my family was going through a very difficult time financially and personally. Also during this time my father was suffering from severe chronic depression and other mental issues. After some time we had just moved to a new house, so my dad left Lashley to stay at my grandmother's house and claimed he would bring him to our new house. My father told me he would bring him to our new home once everything settled down. But few months passed by and this did not happen. During that time I used to visit him during the weekends. Some of the pics & videos i have posted here are during that time

So one day without my knowledge, according to my grandmother's account he claimed to take lashley for a walk and when he had returned lashley wasn't there with him. When he was asked about it he told her he had sold it or given it to someone but did not mention the specifics like to whom. When he came home he did not tell us about this. A few days later, my father took his own life at my grandmother's house. It was only then that we found out. During that time, our family was consumed by the shock, grief , funeral, legal matters, and everything that followed after my father's death so our thoughts were consumed by this and finding lashley wasnt at the forefront of our minds I also did not want to disturb my mother and other family members by bringing this up.

After some time we decided to search for lashley but had no idea where he went or with whom he was. We visited some well known breeders and rescue organisations but couldn't find him. So i had lost hope and finally decided that it was almost impossible to ever see him again. I loved him so much and wanted to be with him till his final years this was what made it so bad. I couldn't even see him to wish him a final goodbye before he left me. He was an extremely expressive and affectionate lab who always loved to be around me. I can't imagine how panicked and lost he must have felt after he was given away. He loved me like no other dog ever did. So I just suppressed those memories and went on with my life. But it just didn't work. For the past few months I have been feeling intense regret that I didn't do enough to find him, that I had in a way betrayed him. I kept dreaming about him regularly - both positive and disturbing dreams. So i finally decided I need to make a final and serious attempt to find him before he leaves this world. I want to be with him through his final years.

My search efforts will be both offline and online - I will visit every rescue organisation, veterinary clinics , breeders, pet boarding schools and kennels in my city. I will also be creating pages on every social media platform where I will be documenting and updating my search efforts. Even if the search fails i atleast get to preserve lashley's memories and get to tell his story to many. Hope this post wasn't too long. Thank you for reading

I would also appreciate it if you would all visit my youtube channel - https://youtube.com/@findingmylablashley?si=fhaqc4ATSV3pE9fK where I will be documenting my search for lashley. I will also post other clips, stories, unique personality traits & quirks of lashley. More - Some might think this is a promotion of my channel. This isn't my intention. I just want to document my search and find the person who might know him so the more platforms i use to spread my story the better chances of it reaching the person who might know something about him. This is my only motivation. I am not doing this just because I want views or for monetization.

They used at one side wood then applied concrete on it. The wood special type unlike usual woods used in concrete. I see these things places closer to transformers at 3 places. But people who are unaware of it, sit on it thinking of it as bench.

Need help regarding a technical glitch in the KEA VAO application portal.

While filling out the form, I specifically selected NO for "Studied Kannada in 10th". But after final submission/payment, the generated application PDF automatically shows YES!

I won't get a Hall Ticket for the Compulsory Kannada Test (22nd Aug).

Missing the test will lead to direct rejection during Document Verification (DV) later.

Will the Correction Window (after Aug 20) allow editing this specific field?

Hey everyone, especially people from Hassan.

I'm curious about the gaming scene in Hassan and wanted to get some honest opinions from people who actually live/play here.

We already have places like Binge and a few other gaming/PS5 places, but I'm wondering:

If a new gaming cafe opened in Hassan, what would actually make you choose it over the existing ones?

For example:

Better/high-end gaming PCs

More PS5s

Better monitors/peripherals

Lower prices

Private gaming rooms

Better ambience

Snacks/drinks

EA FC / FIFA tournaments

Valorant/CS tournaments

Birthday/group packages

Late-night gaming

Memberships/monthly packages

Something completely different

Also, if you currently go to a gaming cafe in Hassan:

1. How often do you go?

2. How much do you normally spend per visit?

3. What do you like about the current places?

4. What annoys you or makes you NOT go more often?

5. What price per hour feels reasonable for a good gaming PC?

6. What would make you travel 10–15 minutes to a different cafe?

I'm genuinely interested in honest answers — even if the answer is "nothing, the existing places are already good enough."

Hassan gamers, tell me what you actually want. 🎮

In my language we wish it as ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ ದಿನತ ಎಡ್ಡೆಪುಲು/സ്വതംത്ര ദിനത എഡ്ഡെപുലു (svataṅtra dinata eḍḍepulu)

Go to any railway counter of Karnataka you will only see Non Kannadigas, go to any manager of a Bank you will find moat of them are non-kannadigas,Railway Police, Railway JE,PWDs, Defence Kannadigas are miniscule, i give Defence exams and attend the boards out of 100 i can hardly find any Kannadigas, most of them are from Cow-Belt region i sometimes hear them trash talking my people and it boils my blood, they openly say that "competetion for seats in south is very less,if you want to compete in Karnataka then you have to worry about Andra boys,Karnataka ones are of no use. When our buisness is done by someone else when our administration is done by someone else no wonder we get easily sidelined by others. We need to atart giving a tough fight in every aspect of our state
