Seriously in this extreme hot weather, Kerala MVD should allow vehicle owners to stick cooling films in cars.

Why are there still power outages here?

Why still a power cut is happening here? Several times in a day, 10 to 45 minutes. If over load, why they are not increasing its capacity?. Most of the time in summer power usage in its peak (News). KSEB also knows that, they must have readings. Still why the government and KSEB not taking any actions.

Why do people of older generation interfere too much in other people's life?

My family is overall going through a very tough time now as things are really going south in terms of both health and wealth. And the nattukars and ayalvaasis are not helping matters..by showing too much concern. Any solutions anyone?

For context, we are a nuclear middle class family with my father being the sole provider. We used to be somewhat on the upper middle class status but after my father got a heart surgery few years back ..things gradually took for the worse...his health condition was bad..he got cheated on by his business partners. Lost a lot of money...we have a lot of debt now that we don't know how to pay off....we downgraded from Innova to nano literally. And the cherry on top...he was also diagnosed with PD last year...so yeah .

Now about my father ...he is the strongest and bravest person I have ever known..and like every other person he has a pride. He is almost 60 years old now and he still goes to work with a nano. After the surgery..he lost a bit of weight. Now Wherever he goes ...people stop him and say things like 'what happened to u' ..'i don't even recognise u anymore '...'u have become so skinny ' ....'where is the old u' ...'u look like a photostat of ur older self'...'is this ur only car?' ..hearing these kind of words from people really hurts him more than he lets us know. I can see the pain in his eyes..it's slowly but surely killing him from the inside. This is really doing a number on his mental health too. Maybe the people are telling this out of concern for my father....but this constant questioning is doing an opposite impact on him. It's breaking him...his self esteem is down. Whenever he tries to move past this..people come and keep Reminding him at what a terrible state he is in.

My father has become a shadow of the person I knew him to be when it comes down to self confidence....but at the same time when I think about it ...if it was someone else who was in his situation.. what would they have done? If I was him I know ..I won't show half the strength he shows..and maybe even given up on Everything....BUT not my father ..he fights back ... every day. . For us ...he is ready to build back everything from zero if he has to.

He wakes up everyday at 5am to exercise...he eats better food so that he can get better...he does yoga..he makes us monitorise his food habits...he doesn't drink or smoke(never did)..he still shows upto Work everyday ....he does everything in his power to stay afloat. He is trying to be strong for us. There I still see the occassional glimpse of my old father who thinks he can get past this hurdle but then he is gone the next day someone makes a face of pity or mentions anything about his looks. He goes a hundred steps back ..he becomes gloomy. He lets people's words affect him too much.

He was a very social person who had a lot of friends. But now he is afraid to show up to any social functions such as marriages or parties or meetups because he gets questioned a lot on his looks and social status in general. He doesn't want anyone to see him like this I believe. He believes because he lost the money..people treat him differently now...He is afraid of what else people might say...he is letting all that get into his head. Whatever we say to help him is not getting through him. He is our rock .. it breaks me to see him like this.

Now I know that I can't really change the whole of neighborhood and tell Everyone he knows to stop showing concern regarding his health or the way he looks now. I know that's not how this works.
Only thing I can do is change my father's perspective on things...and don't let other's words get too much into his head. But I don't know what to tell him to help him.

My father often remains speechless when people comes up and say something to him....he is often at a loss of words to tell ....so something to say back when they mention how bad he looks now compared to his old self.

What can I tell him that might help him with his self esteem? Should we

get him into therapy? Is that really needed?

Is there any good self help books or videos u can recommend that he can read to get back his confidence and his old self back?

What is your opinion on other people showing too much concern/interest in another person's matter?

Why can't people stop comparing people ? Why can't they stop comparing one child to another...one man's past to his present?

Thank you for reading my midnight rant throughout...I didn't mean to make it this long... oddly I feel really vulnerable and at the same time a huge relief sharing this here..so please if u have come here to have a laugh or doesn't have anything really nice to say...please refrain from commenting.

Also I hope by posting this here...people become more self aware/intune of other people and their surroundings..and if a person u know...really don't want to answer ur questions then please don't force them to answer it or put them in an uncomfortable position.

It's okay to check back in on people and asking how are you...are you doing well..but don't just say to ANYONE u look fat .u look slim like a stick...u look weak... because u don't know how they are feeling inside ... Maybe they have a health condition that makes them that way...maybe they are dealing with something mentally.... it's just small talk for u...but they might carry ur words within their heart and later develop body image issues... u never know. So let's treat each other with kindness and try not to accidentally hurt anyone.

NRIs - what foundation do you use when you go to Kerala to that stops sweat and humidity from melting it off?

Every time I go my makeup melts off or I look like a greasy soup. What’s the best foundation as I have a wedding and will be out and about quite a bit? Preferably products that I can get abroad.
