I’m currently in my fourth month of pregnancy and before life changes completely, I’d love to go on a peaceful vacation with my husband for our babymoon.

We are both very adventurous and site seeing, museums etc bore us. But given my situation, a vacation with bungee jumping and all may not be most suitable, so I’d love for ideas on where should we go and activities to do there!

Please help us out. If travelling, we would be travelling in November end or early parts of Decembers.

Unpopular opinion but I think ST certificates shouldn’t be given to the offspring of both categories:

1. APST woman and a non-APST man
2. Non-APST woman and an APST man

What do you all think? As of now only category one is being socially policed and monitored.

The movement initiated by the ST Bachao Andolan may have good intentions, but what is the point of calling a bandh?

If the concern is genuine, why not work more closely with the administration and police to strengthen enforcement instead of shutting down the state? Why not sit with policymakers and push for concrete reforms in ILP monitoring, employer accountability and check post efficiency? That is where real change happens.

Why not focus on the root cause? Many issues begin with poor awareness and weak compliance. Instead of disruption, there could be sustained awareness campaigns in villages and towns, especially targeting local employers who fail to register migrant workers properly. If rules exist, they must be understood and implemented by our own people as well.

Why not demand that the ILP process be made smoother, faster, and more transparent? If registration systems are complicated or slow, that creates loopholes. Simplifying procedures, digitising applications, setting clear timelines and improving capacity at check posts would directly strengthen enforcement without harming the economy.

Labourers are the backbone of our economy. Whether one agrees or disagrees with migration levels, the reality is that construction, services, transport and many essential sectors depend on them. Adding a bandh on top of regulatory concerns only increases hardship for daily wage earners and small traders, while government offices often function with minimal impact.

Whatever the intention, the strategy needs better direction. Protecting tribal rights is important but it must be balanced with practical governance solutions. Strong policy advocacy, institutional engagement and root level awareness will achieve far more than periodic shutdowns ever can.

To all the men here who are in happy and successful marriages or relationships, care to share one word of advice ? 🙂

We are always bombarded by the negatives and it would be nice to read a few positive thoughts! 💭
