Eid-e-Milad rallies choke Kanhangad town; police book 200 mosque committee members
The police booked 200 members for unlawful assembly and obstruction of public way under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
How to navigate this situation
We have hired a full-time home nurse/nanny for our twin girls in Kochi through a reasonably reputed agency. We pay the agency ₹45,000 per month, and the agency pays the nanny ₹36,000. She stays with us full-time, sleeping on a small bed next to ours in our room. My wife and the girls share the main bed, while the nanny sleeps on a bed beside them to assist with nighttime feeds. I sleep in a separate room and come in when my wife calls me or if I hear any noise. I will be returning to our regular residence soon, while my wife will stay in India until the end of December with her and her parents. The nanny eats the same food we eat as well.
That said, I have started to find some things about the arrangement a bit odd, and I’m wondering if I am overreacting.
As a babysitter, she is quite good—very clean, organized, and proactive though she can’t always pacify the kids. But we want to start our routine and she is super systematic and clean.
Here are some concerns:
Money: She frequently asks about how much we pay for different things, including the agency fee, and whether we'd consider a direct arrangement with her. While I understand wanting extra income, we prefer to keep the agency involved because they handle the KYC and other formalities. I find these repeated questions about money quite uncomfortable.
Gold: We occasionally receive jewelry as gifts for the twin girls from guests who come to visit them. She often stares openly at where we keep the gold and asks about it, which makes the atmosphere awkward. She even says please make them wear this this onam. I find it weird that she knows where things are kept
Personal Questions: She asks personal questions like why we feed formula instead of breast milk, or overhears convos and asks.
Food: She usually eats breakfast before we do and then often hovers around the dining table, watching what we eat, which feels strange and uncomfortable. When guests come, she comes to see what food is served. We always share whatever we have with her, and when we order in (e.g., biryani), she gets the same portion as us—even though my wife and I usually share one. While we don’t skimp on her food, her hovering behavior and seeming desire to overhear conversations at the table makes us uneasy. There is nothing that we have eaten that she hasn't. And her appetite is much more. She eats way more than us. We don't have a problem with that. But don't like us being looked at with suspicion in our own home.
Sofa and House Rules: We have some unspoken house rules like no putting legs on the sofa or center table and no napping on the sofa. Despite reminders, she often breaks these rules. We have never said no feet on the sofa, but we have expressed subtle disapproval.
Peeping into Other Rooms: She sometimes walks around the house looking into other rooms, almost like peeping, which feels very intrusive.
Having lived in a country with a lot of personal space in the last 15 years, we see this relationship as professional and want it to stay that way. Occasional tips are fine, but we don’t appreciate a sense of entitlement around it. We understand she has a difficult family situation and financial obligations, but these behaviors are causing discomfort.
What are your observations or comments? Are we overreacting? My mum said its quite normal. We like her. She is good at what she does. But don't like our personal space being trampled upon.

Ente Panchayat Ente Utharavadhithwam (My Panchayat My Responsibility)
Most people from our place have moved to the UAE or European countries. I am one among the few who chose to stay in my birthplace because I don’t want to live as a second or third-class citizen in another country. When I look at why so many youths are migrating, the main reason I see is that they don’t get proper value for what they pay here. Our roads are full of potholes, street lights remain dead, there is not even a single park where kids and families can relax, and except for the health sector everything else is still in a miserable state.
Since I travel across different cities, I can confidently say that we are lagging far behind in basic infrastructure. Our roads are among the worst.
So the question is, what are we doing instead of just complaining? We should not keep waiting for an MLA, MP, or political party to step in. It’s on us now to do something different and initiate a project that finds the root cause and fixes it.
For the past two months, I have been working on this. As the first step, I started from the local self government body, the Panchayat. Every day I spend at least 10 minutes checking how our Panchayat is spending money. The findings honestly shocked me, and I am sure you will feel the same once you check your Panchayat’s data.
Here are the tools I use:
1. Meri Panchayat App – This shows the current balance of the Panchayat, ongoing projects, and completed works. It even gives the estimated cost, actual expenditure, Google Maps location of the project, and photos of the completed work.
2. eGramSwaraj Website – This has the same details as the app, but it’s a web version where you can download Excel files of the data.
Here’s my process:
1. I check all the works completed in the year and flag anything that looks suspicious.
2. I file an online RTI which costs just 10 rupees. In the RTI, I ask for original bills. For example, my Panchayat showed an expenditure of 4.5 lakhs for sports equipment. But when I looked at the photos, it was just ten cricket bats and a few other basic items that couldn’t cost more than a lakh. So I request the original bills, calculate the market value, and question the gap.
That is the approach I have started. Kerala has a large number of software engineers and techies now. I believe we can take this to the next level. Imagine if every time a Panchayat added a new work or recorded an expense, an automated WhatsApp message went to a community group. Everyone would be aware of what is being spent and how it is being spent.

Witnessed something really terrible today
Me and my friends were chatting over a tea at our usual spot.Near to the place there was an onam festival done by a local club where everyone was participating irrespective of religion, some guys (not local to the area) suddenly started chanting ‘Har har mahadev’
and similar slogans aimed at a muslim family who were going to leave the place as the program was over. These guys were high on alcohol and was very loud, the thing is this is deeply disturbing me seeing something like this in front of my eyes. Did anyone had any similar experiences? Just asking out of curiosity as this is something i had only seen the northies doing. If took those actions in wrong mindset feel free to correct me
