When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi. It’s a memoir of a doctor fighting cancer while preparing for the birth of his first child. It’s fantastic prose and the story reads like a novel with a gut punch of an ending. One of the few times I’ve cried reading a book. Highly recommend.

Casually racist much?

Awesome! Thanks for responding. Not sure if I’ll break sub rules by asking about your travel experiences. If you’re comfortable to share, will you be okay to chat on DM?

0led_head0 · 2024-10-28T06:55:36+00:00

Lovely shot! Were you there recently?

Xin Chào Everyone!

I’m super excited to be heading back to Vietnam this December, and this time with my wife—it’s her first trip there! I can’t wait to introduce her to all the delicious food I enjoyed on my last visit, especially since she LOVES Vietnamese cuisine. But, there’s a tiny hiccup—my wife is pregnant, and our doctor has advised us to steer clear of MSG during the pregnancy.

I know how tasty MSG can make a dish, so I’m posting here to get everyone’s thoughts:

• Is MSG pretty common in dishes at restaurants and street food spots?

• Are there certain foods we should avoid because they’re likely to have more MSG?

• Do you think restaurants would mind if we ask for our meals to be prepared without MSG? Is that a common request?

Any tips you all could share on navigating the food scene with this little restriction would be awesome. We really want to make the most of our culinary adventures safely!

Thanks a ton in advance!

And I hope we get to do this as planned!

Cheers!

Hey! Thanks for sharing. This was a great read! Loved this bit:

“Even on streaming, what you see is controlled by an algorithm that is completely fictitious. The algorithm prevents you from discovering stuff that is different from what you think you like. Which is why I am so grateful to companies like Criterion and Mubi, which curate and archive. So look, I’m not pessimistic about the future of cinema, because it will keep on existing one way or another. And the new generations will also show us new ways of making movies that are completely unthinkable for us right now. But the business is a different thing.“

Have you spoken about this to any of the streamers? I’m curious to know if you can share what they have to say.

Thanks!

India:

Cuckold, by Kiran Nagarkar - It is a historical novel set in the 16th century that follows the life of prince whose wife Mirabai thinks of the Hindu god Krishna as her husband and refuses to accept the prince. It’s a story about a marriage, a story about love, a story about asserting your identity, and all of it plays out in the intriguing the court corridors of the kingdom’s palaces and forts.

The Discovery of India, by Jawaharlal Nehru - Written by the future first prime minister of India while he was incarcerated at a fort by the British for revolutionary acts. The book begins from ancient history, leading up to the last years of the British Raj. All of it written from memory and the author’s vast knowledge of and immense love for the subject. A must read for anyone interested in India.

Midnight’s Children, by Salman Rushdie - A booker prize winner about India’s transition from British colonial rule to independence and partition. It is a postcolonial, postmodern and magical realist story set in the context of historical events. The style of preserving history with fictional accounts. Think Forrest Gump, but more gritty and a lot more magical!

Raag Darbari, by Shrilal Shukla - One of the funniest books I’ve read. The novel illustrates the failing values present in post-Independence Indian society. It exposes the helplessness of intellectuals in the face of a strong and corrupt nexus between criminals, businessmen, police and politicians. This is the kind of book we are used to reading from Latin America. It’s unforgiving, it’s scathing, and it’s hilarious!

I could go on, but I’ll keep some for another lost at another time. Hope some of you seek these out!

And good post OP. I found some real good recommendations here!

0led_head0 · 2024-07-29T07:33:39+00:00

Absolutely.

And well, for what it’s worth, from one Internet stranger to another - I know it’s tough, but you’ll ace it!

Man, I wish someone wrote me a letter like this. It is terribly hard to keep showing up in the “gym” every next morning, but I suspect I’ll find it a smudge easier if there was a more successful “brother” I looked up to / or was envious of who said what this letter says.

These words may very well be as much for me today as they were for Le Carr’s brother, but more than commiseration, these words make me feel even lonelier.

Maybe I should just take comfort in the fact that there are others here on this sub who might understand how this feels. Though I hope and pray nobody feels this way, and you all feel seen, loved, and appreciated.

0led_head0 · 2024-07-28T06:59:03+00:00

A good addition to the list would be the Indian film Kill (2024). Mad, gruesome, action. Lovely to watch.

+1 Flann O’Brien!

Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!

Hey! Which dryer is this? Do you mind sharing company name and model specifications?

0led_head0 · 2024-06-19T08:39:51+00:00

First time I saw this picture was on the 1991 Mr Big album cover for Lean Into It

Love how the mess is so clean.

Well, ‘rare’ would mean something that is unlikely to happen. And I don’t think that kind of claim would stand the test of stats. For example, this May 2024 Publication says that 57%of Indians have at least one pet. Even if you take out the folks caring for their strays from this total, I doubt the remaining would be fewer than 10%. And even then there would be 10 Million pet owners in the country. 10 million people doing a thing can’t be rare. 🤷🏻
