New York, the only state with strict lead standards for spices, has issued a recall for various spices, including curry powder, chili powder, cumin, and five-spice powder, if they contain more than 1 part per million of lead.

The investor, Sudheep, revealed on the platform X (formerly Twitter) that he guided his maid to open a demat account with Zerodha, which she then used to invest over Rs 1 lakh in various small and mid-cap stocks. What followed was a 30% growth in her portfolio within a month, pushing its value to Rs 1.28 lakh.

Sudheep’s post included a screenshot of the domestic worker’s investment portfolio, showing the exact amount she had invested—Rs 1,05,970—and the resulting increase in value. Proud of the returns, Sudheep tweeted, “I helped my maid open a demat account through Zerodha. She invested 1 lac last month. Now current value at 1.28 lacs.
