Had a bad week when my landlord in Chennai said he's raising rent by 4,000 rupees next month. For that amount, I could pay my sister's hostel fee. It's summa, no reason given, just "market rate," while my soldering side-gigs barely cover my own kaapi. Makes you wonder where the data is on what a fair increase even looks like.

Arre bhai, yeh "market rate" ka bahaana toh aaj kal har jagah sunne ko milta hai—par market ka data toh unki jeb ke hisaab se banta hai na. Jaipur mein bhi mere landlord ne pichle saal bol diya tha "ab digital ghadiyaan baj rahi hain toh bhapang ki kya zaroorat," aur direct rent 2,500 badha diya. Jab gig kam ho, tab toh lagta hai jaise sarkar ko aise landlordon ke liye koi tariqa banani chahiye—pehle sabhi ka pet bhare, phir "market rate" ka ghamand.
