Hey @just_snabbit, just a new service idea- a monthly pack for 30 minutes and 1 hour, priced accordingly. I am certain it will be a hit, especially with the busy professionals and the elderly who don’t have the time or patience to manage Househelp’s tardiness/leaves etc.

I am the beti, didi, bua, and masi who can make the chai, khaana, and pick and drop from the station/airport, and provide directions to and from my house. It’s 2026 and we’re still discussing this nonsense???

I hope so 🤞🏻
it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself

Soon after we got married, my wife's 80+ old grandmother had shared some words of wisdom. "In an Indian family setup, if you have a son and in good time when he grows up to have his own family, how close you become to his family (him, his wife and their kids - your paternal grandchildren that is), almost entirely depends on how well-accommodating your daughter in law is. However, if you have a daughter and when she grows up to have her own family, you will always be close to her family (your maternal grandchildren), irrespective of how your son in law turns out. So everyone should have at least 1 daughter." Funny yet profound!

So true
“I never asked you to” is such a nasty thing to say after benefiting from someone’s time and love.

India’s emergency number is now 112, but many people still dial 100 out of habit. In an emergency, that confusion can waste precious minutes. Countries like the United States have made 911 second nature. One number, quick response, clear systems. 112 needs recall, reliability and a lot of marketing. Make 112 visible everywhere, as familiar as UPI Ensure faster, more consistent response across cities Integrate it into maps, phones and apps for easy access

A 71-year-old widow in Jaipur got a call from "her bank." "Ma'am, your account has been compromised. Please share your OTP to secure it." She shared it. ₹3.8 lakh — her entire savings — gone in 4 minutes. She went to the bank branch the next morning. The manager said: you shared the OTP. We are not responsible. She went home. She stopped eating properly. Her son said she kept saying "maine galti ki" — I made a mistake. She filed a complaint anyway. The Banking Ombudsman ruled: the bank's fraud detection system had failed. A transaction of this size, pattern and speed should have triggered an automatic alert. It didn't. Bank ordered to refund ₹3.8 lakh in full. She didn't make a mistake. The bank's system did. A 71-year-old woman blamed herself for 8 months. A court told her she was wrong to do so. Save this post. If you lose money to a phone fraud — file with your bank in writing within 3 days. Then file with the Banking Ombudsman at bankingombudsman.rbi.org.in. The bank's liability doesn't end just because you shared an OTP.

"Empathy isn’t weakness. It’s not about letting people off the hook for their behavior and choices. It’s about understanding what led to those choices so you can decide how to respond from a place of authenticity."~ Emily Deschanel That's my queen right there
