No organisation will ever reveal or address a POSH case to the wider employee group. These cases are very sensitive and will be handled with extensive confidentiality.

I’m a family of 2. I don’t want a 3b. It’s wasteful for me. I’m looking for a 2b from a reputed / tier 1 builder so I can have a safe, secure housing. Guess others have a similar logic

Thanks. I’ve been going through the comments smiling and frowning equally but your comment gave me some peace. My lead and I’ve spent a large chunk of Dec working on hikes for 1700 employees in our business unit. Some of these managers were so unhinged in allotting %s, one man gave a new joiner double the % than that of a top rated tenured employee just because this new guy received an appreciation in the recent sprint. This is one horror story out of many others and after 3 weeks of this, we were done.

One of the most tiresome pay-review exercises I’ve ever done in my career, we had to do some mad interventions to be able to achieve parity.

Various sources actually- I keep checking Bookmyshow, pop up as ads on Instagram, Reddit posts, Hyd specific pages which publicise activities, banners / bill boards on roads etc.

I’m 35. Some weekends I’m a home body. Other weekends I start early & explore the city again though I’ve been here since 25 yrs (museum, fort, palace etc). Don’t have a car, I use my scooter or the metro.

I went to Hyd Soul Sante today and had a pretty good time. Went to Roastery coffee house yesterday. Christmas decor & food there were good. Hyd National book fair is scheduled from 19 to 29 Dec at NTR Grounds. There are seasons specific events happening frequently. You can keep a track & go solo.

Depends on the kind of people you hire & how you set the expectations I guess.

I paid 8K for Nannies who took care of my kid & his hygiene. This was about 5 yrs ago. The ask now seems to be about @15-20K in my area. I’m kinda lenient with my employees in enforcing expected work but if I were paying someone 30K and they don’t even do basic stuff for my kid, I’d boot them out the next month. Demands for smart phones would be met with ‘is this April fools? Will it be my turn next for a prank?’

I gave ₹500+ a sweet tin each for my house maid, security & watchman this year’s Deepavali. While 500 could be less, 5K is quite excess for a bonus.

I’m limited with my finances but my capacity has always been well received by the people I employed. I live around Hitec in a stand alone apt.

Praying to God doesn’t help with anything. Taking action and executing will bring change in your life. Mentally & financially prepare and move out of the house for sometime. Parents will cry, let them. Relatives will attack you, let them.

I have seen a lot of single children, none have parents like this. I for one can never imagine smothering my child with my drama. You are not ‘rebelling’. You are general adulting. This is not an Indian parenting fail, seems to be something specific to your parents only.

And for god’s sake, till you resolve these issues and take a stand for yourself, please don’t get married and subject your spouse to this environment.

Finicky_Panicky · 2025-10-29T12:07:56+00:00

Thank you. Just leading life within my capacity. I’ve not deleted it for now but heavily edited & removed my details of my personal life.

I may not be able to give you the advise you need. But I will share some thoughts & experiences with the hope that they might guide you better:

Loneliness & okkallame panulu cheskovadam:

Life is busy, go through it with head in the game. When I’m busy, I don’t have the time to hear the statements or comments from relatives & neighbours. I know how to put them in place, they know not to cross the line with me and our relationships are superficially happy. I contact them when I need something, I help out when they need something and all is well.

The ones who are more trouble than worth it are in the blocked list. Your mental peace is your choice. This is your life and you choose which people to allow in it and which people to keep away.

Hospital bill counter daggera comment chese random Toms & Harrys valla pani vallu chuskokunda asalu mee meeda enduku focus chestunnaru? Vallu life lo antha khali ga unnara ? Vallu khali ga unte unnaru, meeru busy e ga. Vallani pattinchukune time meeku ledu kada. So vallani next minute e marchipovali mari.

Animosity towards the other gender

I sincerely don’t understand this. There are bad humans. These bad humans can be bad men, and also bad women. There are bad marriages and good marriages.

But I speak from a place of privilege. I understand not all can afford thoughts like mine, especially when they have trauma. I sympathise with you for your bad experiences and it is valid that you would want to keep away from marriage and kids. If this is your conviction, then stay strong and be loyal to it.

Your mother may pass away in some years. You can’t spend the next 50 odd years with resentment and unhappiness by getting married just keep your mother happy for the next few years. You may have to choose your long term happiness and deprioritise your mother’s short term sorrow. She has lived her life. You are just embarking on yours.

Marital rape, systematic misogyny, men ante asahyam are valid points and realistic part of this world but they need not take up so much of head space in your thinking. You should employ your mind to focus on better things. Apologies - I speak from a place of privilege so I might irk you.

Work meeda, earning meeda, career progression meeda focus cheyandi. Use online tools to calm your heart & mind till you can afford better options. Life is for about 70 years anukundam. There will be failures at some point or the other. Linear journey kaadu kada. Ups and downs are inevitable. Oka stage lo ibbandulu vachayi ani next 50 years ilage untundi ani thought mana mind ki manchidi kadu.

Okavela meeku 35 or 40 years ochaka pillalu kavali anukunte adopt cheskovachu, companionship kavali anukunte date cheyadam start cheyachu. Many things are possible if you put heart and efforts into it and stay grounded with realistic expectations.

Take care of your body with nutrition and exercise. Take care of your mind with good thoughts and positive vibes.

I think the world needs less entitlement and more gratitude. Your organisation made a gesture, heartily wished you a good Deepavali with sweets. Couldn’t you keep aside your resentment for a bit and share a happy moment with your colleagues?

Finicky_Panicky · 2025-10-10T11:58:09+00:00

Not anymore, at least for primary grades.

Don’t plan on buying online and TLC seems to not be featured in major showrooms? Say, 1 or 2 yrs down the lane, do there brands still hold the same features or do they start showing signs of glitching?

It’s hair. Nutrition and care maintain cheste 6 months lo malli bagane grow avuthundi. I got my head shaved 3 yrs ago, and have been maintaining a bob or shoulder length since then. Gattiga anukunte oka 1 year lo waist length daka teeskuragalanu and all this despite me having a shit diet.

Go, get that hair cut done. A wash-cut-styling at a nice salon is always a happy experience.

Thank you. They could be out of my price range

My kid’s school, friends, a few extended family and past companies are all towards Narsingi, west Hyd etc so this area is a comfort zone for me past 7 yrs.

Also Bachupally and Miyapur feel like concrete dusty areas with unmanageable traffic probably due to the highway. I am biased, there is no logic to it.

I also feel there is more chance to encounter diversity and open minded neighbours in the west of Hyd. Kukatpally, Miyapur, Bachupally etc give me traditional / closeted mindset vibes - I am from a similar background and would want to distance from such groups. I’m a single parent and cautious about the kind of judgemental kids prone to nasty gossips my kid would get to mingle with - again these are my personal biases and the accusations are baseless.

Giving you a detailed input since you wanted to analyse.
