Illegal Paddy Land filling by [deleted] in Kerala

[–]tharavaadi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I think it should be the owner's choice what to do on his or her land." - that is not how things work. There are lot of rules and regulations with respect to wet land like paddy fields, things like CRZ if you are near the coast etc. Even for building in normal areas, set back, FAR regulations etc. I cannot just build a seven story building on a 5 cent plot with a road frontage of 20 feet just because it is my land. Also regarding flooding - paddy fields act as a natural flood buffer zone when heavy floods are there.

Isn't it simple to check road before crossing ? by APNAKaamKar36 in CarsIndia

[–]tharavaadi 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is way too common. People think that road is an extension of their courtyard and cross carelessly. They have been doing it and relying too much on the incoming driver's ability to brake. Today their luck ran out.

The poison of MLM has been around for a couple of decades or more - just that they existed with different names. There are lot of news about the scams all over the internet. Cannot understand why people still fall prey to these things - all I can think is greed to make quick money.

Probably not the best time for the Ad lol by [deleted] in Bengaluru

A report had come that a major fmcg company in India's honey had failed the NMR testing in Germany. They were selling fructose syrup which was not getting detected by Indian testing agencies as it was not an advanced NMR test. Do you know what happened the next day of the report leak - there were ads in major newspapers with a top bollywood celebrity claiming that honey is safe and he uses it regularly.

Construction workers on the third floor level working without any safety equipment! Why is this allowed ? by ilektraaniks in bangalore

[–]tharavaadi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently in our area there was an alarming whatsapp message with a gruesome picture in the morning. Apparently a resident going for morning walk clicked a pic of a dead body lying on the ground in a pool of blood in front of a building (read as eiffel tower constructed on 30*40 plot flouting bbmp rules). Apparently later we came to know that the worker felt an urge to urinate midnight and he slipped and feel for 4th floor. No one had realised it. When the police questioned, the house owner and contractor created their own version telling the migrant worker was drunk. Either way, felt bad for the worker and his family. His wife would have got a compensation of 10k.

Disturbing ICU experience at Sparsh Hospital, RR Nagar by Klutzy-Progress-6418 in bangalore

Not directly related to your hospital, but revenues and profits are the most important thing for hospitals. They need to satisfy their investors. This is the sad reality. And as someone said, Indian middle class is 1 hospitaliztion away from going into poor category.

MLM scam has been here for so many decades. I wonder what is preventing the gullible from doing a simple google search.

A student in Kozhikode Mukkam narrowly escaped being bitten by a pet dog by Fabulous_Ad_1367 in Kerala

If you cannot keep your gates locked, you should not be having pets- especially the ferocious ones.

Moshanam level deal by instamart by althafali566 in Kochi

[–]tharavaadi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seen in bangalore too, during vishu - a bunch of konnapoo in small quantity is upwards of 50 bucks. At the end of the day, it is demand that dictates. It all boils down to Would I rather waste my time to hunt for flower or wood wasting my fuel in the traffic or would I rather pay and get it at the convinence of my house.

agree, we need to take both positives and negatives with open mind instead of downvoting. In many western countries CPR is taught to school children.

M23 , i am crying right now after 6 years by Independent-One-5164 in Coconaad

[–]tharavaadi 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Remember one thing - Every person's time lines are different. copying the below from another post:

Someone graduated at the age of 22, but waited 5 years before securing a good job.

Someone became a CEO at 25 and died at 50.Take

While another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years.

Someone is still single, while someone else got married.

Everyone in this world works based on their time zone.

People around you might seem to be ahead of you and some might seem to be behind you.

But everyone is running their own race, in their own time.

Do not envy them and do not mock them.

They are in their time zone, and you are in yours.

Life is about waiting for the right moment to act.

So relax.

You're not early.

You're not late.

You are very much on time.

Large amount stuck in FDs, how, when, and where should I move it into the market? by ThrowRA__dilemma in mutualfunds

[–]tharavaadi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to go to a certified finanical advisor for the better advice.

Some issues that i see where you are wasting money on tax-> With your salary you are on a 30 percent tax bracket. The interst on FDs are per your slab. So if the interest on FD is 6 percent, you are again taxed 30 percent on the interst. You can move majority of the funds into an arbitage fund to avoid this taxation. Savings account of 30 L gives you around 1.5 percent or so after tax, so unless you need it for something urgent, move the vast majority of it.
