If you’re an atheist, what made you stop believing?
Was it a sudden moment, a slow realization, or something that just changed quietly over time?

Relative took 60 lakhs from my parents for chit fund, now his wife is refusing to pay it back after his suicide. Is there anything we can do legally?
A few years ago, my relative (along with his wife) borrowed around 60 lakhs from my parents for a chit fund. They came to our house to get the money, and he promised to pay monthly, which he did for a while. Some other relatives also gave him money for the same chit fund.
Unfortunately, over a year ago, he died by suicide, possibly due to depression and maybe because he lost all the money.
Now, my parents are in a difficult situation because this 60 lakhs was pretty much all the money they had, other than our ancestral house. We’ve tried asking his wife about paying it back, but she keeps saying that she’s not responsible. They are financially well off, going on trips, buying new car etc.
Is there any legal action we can take to recover the money?

Is it really difficult to find a bride in Malabar if you’re around 27?
Hi everyone.
I’m 25M from the Malabar region, currently working in Bangalore. Recently, my parents have started pressuring me about marriage. They keep saying that many of their friends and colleagues sons (around 26–28) are struggling to find a bride. So they want me to start searching early.
Is this actually true?
Is finding a match becoming difficult in Malabar right now?
I have a decent job and I’m comfortable financially, so personally I feel like I still have time. But hearing this again and again is making me confused. Even my friends are getting the same pressure from their families.
Should someone like me start looking now itself, or is it fine to wait 2–3 more years?
Would love to hear real experiences or opinions from people in Malabar.

My experience with Intimate Matrimony — sharing so others don’t face the same issues
Posting this to help others avoid the confusion and frustration I went through with Intimate Matrimony.
I took their Classic service for ₹2500 (original price ₹3500, MRP ₹4500). At the time of purchasing:
They never informed me that service would be limited to one branch only.
I specifically asked about the differences between packages and was told only about contact views and service charges.
No one mentioned that multi-branch support was part of a higher package.
Service experience:
My assigned base branch had only one agent, who was frequently unavailable or on leave.
Service was inconsistent and only happened when I pushed for it.
I reported this multiple times but nothing improved.
After complaining:
A senior agent from their corporate office contacted me a few times, but only on demand. No consistent follow-up.
I even shortlisted profiles myself to make things easier for them, but still no proper service.
Later I found out that the higher package gives service from all branches equally, which would have made the whole process smoother. This was never explained at the time of joining.
Out of curiosity, when I asked about upgrading, they said I would have to pay the full amount again, just like a new customer — not the difference. This is after I received incomplete and irregular service on the plan I already paid for.
I’m sharing this so anyone considering joining knows what to expect. Clear communication and transparency were missing, and the service experience did not match the value paid.
Hope this helps someone.

Ernakulam Consumer Commission Fines Indigo Airlines for offloading a passenger, Orders Refund and Compensation
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Ernakulam, held IndiGo Airlines liable for deficiency in service and unfair trade practice for offloading a passenger after boarding without providing proper assistance or alternate arrangements.
The complainant, an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer serving as General Manager, Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd., was a frequent traveller between Mumbai and Kochi. On December 14, 2019, he booked a ticket on IndiGo Flight 6E-755 (PNR FCRZHL) from Mumbai to Kochi, paying ₹12,447 and was allotted Seat 15F.
After boarding, he alone was directed to deboard the aircraft, with IndiGo citing an “operational/technical issue.” The airline assured him of a full refund, confirmed accommodation on the 21:20 hrs flight the same evening, and rest and food facilities. However, the promised 21:20 hrs flight seat was not provided, and he was instead rebooked on Flight 6E-6185 at 00:25 hrs on December 15, 2019.
IndiGo offered him lounge access, but at boarding time, he was asked to pay ₹2,150 for items allegedly not covered by the lounge entitlement. Feeling humiliated and compelled, he paid the amount under protest. The airline later offered him a ₹10,000 travel voucher and subsequently ₹10,000 as ex gratia compensation, both of which he considered inadequate and rejected.
Aggrieved by the treatment and citing mental agony, humiliation, and financial loss, the complainant filed a case before the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Ernakulam under Section 35 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, seeking refund of the fare and lounge charges, reimbursement of cinema tickets missed due to delay, and compensation for harassment and mental agony.
The complainant argued that he was unjustly deboarded from the flight despite having a confirmed seat, was given false assurances of a refund, re-accommodation on the 21:20 hrs flight, and rest facilities, none of which were honored. He felt humiliated when asked to pay ₹2,150 at the lounge despite prior assurances of complimentary access. Alleging deficiency in service and unfair trade practice, he submitted that contractual clauses could not override his statutory consumer rights and sought a refund, compensation, and costs.
IndiGo Airlines, contended that the complaint was not maintainable owing to misdescription of the legal entity and lack of territorial jurisdiction. IndiGo added that the offloading was due to an operational issue and that the complainant was re-accommodated within six hours per DGCA norms. The airline denied any deficiency in service, justified the ₹2,150 charge as payment for alcoholic beverages not covered by lounge entitlement, and asserted that its offers of a ₹10,000 voucher and ₹10,000 ex gratia compensation demonstrated fairness. IndiGo relied on Supreme Court precedents to seek dismissal of the complaint with costs.
The Consumer Commission rejected IndiGo's objections on maintainability and jurisdiction, holding that “IndiGo Airlines” is the trade name of InterGlobe Aviation Ltd., and that part of the cause of action arose in Kerala.
The Commission found that the complainant was offloaded after boarding due to an alleged operational issue and that IndiGo failed to honor its assurances of a same-day alternate flight, rest, and food. IndiGo's conduct—including requiring the complainant to pay ₹2,150 at the lounge after giving prior assurance of complimentary access—was held to amount to deficiency in service and unfair trade practice.
The Commission ordered IndiGo to refund ₹2,150 (lounge charges) and ₹626 (cinema ticket reimbursement), both with 9% interest per annum from 15.12.2019 until realization.
IndiGo must also pay ₹1,00,000 as compensation for mental agony, financial loss, and inconvenience, and ₹20,000 as litigation costs
All amounts are to be paid within 45 days from receipt of the order; otherwise, the compensation amount will carry 9% interest from the date of

Ladies of Kerala, which city in Kerala do you feel the most safe and comfortable ?
Or a better way, which City makes you least un-comfortable ? I am a guy in early 30, lived in TVM all my life, don't have any female friends or relatives or colleagues my age, so can't ask anyone. My mom worked in Kollam and sometimes Alappuzha a few years and used train to travel to and from TVM, she always used to come after 8 PM, always alone, i think she would not have done this if TVM was unsafe, this like 20 yrs back.
Recently an intern joined a different team, she must be early 20s. She told me her parents gave her and sister lots of freedom when they lived in TVM (she did her Schooling here ) but post Covid they shifted to Kochi (her dad's hometown ) and now they never let them go out alone due to Kochi boys being bad or something + they themselves don't want to go out alone. I always thought this was the other way around. My guess is Kochi being more happening + movie industry attractts people all over Kerala so the vayinokkis must be going to Kochi just to do vayinottam. Anyways, interested to know perspective of women who have lived in multiple districts in Kerala.

Road rage ended in pepper spraying
Three days back I was driving my SUV through the controlled chaos of Kerala. It was a very narrow bend road near the city and I had to give way to a car coming from the opposite direction. Once I gave way, I saw a lot of bikes parked up ahead, so I had to turn very carefully to avoid hitting any of them.The bikes behind me on the right werent patient at all they kept overtaking while I was trying to maneuver safely. Two young guys who were directly behind me didnt like it and started loudly abusing me, probably because I dared to waste their precious five seconds.For context, Im used to driving in the Middle East people there are generally cautious, disciplined(except for spoiled arab brats), and road rage is rare. But here in Kerala cities, the roads are so cramped,very bad planning,still the people are very inconsiderate. I honestly don’t get it.
Anyway, when those two overtook me and came alongside, they kept hurling abuses. Im not a saint,so I showed them the middle finger. They didn’t take it well. They crossed in front of my car, stopped their bike, started yelling even louder, and began walking towards me.
I had pepper spray(got one after a friend became victim to a very bad road rage in blr) in the car and used it on them when they came near my window and started banging on them. They started crying and howling. I might have scratched their bike a bit when I drove off. Ive got dashcam footage showing them crossing in front of my car and walking toward me while shouting. Nobody has contacted me so far.
Pretty sure their facilities to note my plates weren't working at that time.
Should I be worried? Am I legally protected for using pepper spray in this situation? And what should I do now, go to police, talk to a lawyer?
Would appreciate some practical advice or experiences from people who’ve dealt with similar situations.

Anyway, when those two overtook me and came alongside, they kept hurling abuses. Im not a saint,so I showed them the middle finger. They didn’t take it well. They crossed in front of my car, stopped their bike, started yelling even louder, and began walking towards me.
I had pepper spray(got one after a friend became victim to a very bad road rage in blr) in the car and used it on them when they came near my window and started banging on them. They started crying and howling. I might have scratched their bike a bit when I drove off. Ive got dashcam footage showing them crossing in front of my car and walking toward me while shouting. Nobody has contacted me so far.
Pretty sure their facilities to note my plates weren't working at that time.
Should I be worried? Am I legally protected for using pepper spray in this situation? And what should I do now, go to police, talk to a lawyer?
Would appreciate some practical advice or experiences from people who’ve dealt with similar situations.
