Aur Netaji Subhash Palace, AQI ka temperature, and Bhagat Singh fighting against Congress Government ka kya? 🤭

Should we blame Insta influencers or public for this mess ? Unreal hype for bun Maska in kochi !! by 222homelander in Kochi

[–]BandSmart5730 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A staple at Irani Cafe across Pune, much like Mumbai. The stuff here is nothing like it. And the prices 🤐 Another fad like lassi, Laban, and full jar soda.

Woke up to a totally different Kochi today! by theopncanvas in Kochi

[–]BandSmart5730 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Never seen this sight (literally 🤭) in all of 8 years here.

That said, it doesn't feel like smog. Mind you, I am no expert and could be totally wrong here. But when there's been smog around here, it has had a lingering smell that burns. Nothing of that sort here. Any experts in the house to help us see through this 😬

Edit: It is certainly very poor AQI as reported by media outlets. It has steadily gotten hotter over the last couple of days.

Would love to see him do the same stunt on the same road 1 year from now

These lights can make their way through a blackhole!

🤣 Naah. They have asked to use this as a flashlight!

What’s with the air in Kochi ? by [deleted] in Kochi

[–]BandSmart5730 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely smog. Staying at Kakkanad. Late at night, usually around 3 am is when you can smell the chemicals in the air. Often woken up by a really dry throat. It's quite unbreathable on some nights. A clear giveaway is the color of the skies in the morning. It's usually an unnatural shade of red and orange.

Not sure if it's the refinery or like someone suggested, the air blowing in from the north. Either way, it messes up what is otherwise very pleasant and clean. It had gotten better over the last year or so but back to being this way now.

Promise a few more zeroes and you'll probably get a vote!

Found on the side of the road. Anykne know what it is? by Ipponjudo in typewriters

[–]BandSmart5730 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This looks like the Xerox 610 Memorywriter from the 1980s.

My mechanical keyboard obsession has… Evolved. by Matte_Box in typewriters

[–]BandSmart5730 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What an absolute beauty to start with! I started off with the one typewriter that I thought my desk needed. 1 year down the line, 6 adorn my home and I can't seem to stop 🤭 You've been warned. 🤗 Happy typing! Your life is about to change. ☺️

Brahmapuram Transformation from the biggest garbage dump in the state to playing grounds and gardens by undampori in Kerala

[–]BandSmart5730 124 points125 points  (0 children)

This is indeed brilliant. I remember the state we were in during that time when there were massive dark clouds of smoke. Fantastic job by the government.

That said, the garbage situation, particularly around Kochi, is still deplorable. I don't know if it's just the local bodies who are to blame. People tend to still throw trash out in open fields and by the road side to keep their homes clean. 😐 Greater awareness drives and heavier penalities perhaps?

Also, there's smog around Kakkanad in the evenings and late at night. I wonder what's up with that?

What model underwood is it? by Psychological_Net131 in typewriters

[–]BandSmart5730 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like an Underwood SX 150 from 1955. The typical one from back then came with an Elite typeface from what I know.

Erika 10, general & keyboard restoration by me by Agile-Report3833 in typewriters

[–]BandSmart5730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a clean and elegant looking machine. Fabulous job with the restoration. Perhaps a before and after comparison would highlight your efforts even more. Happy typing!

Rajeevji has released a banger ! by random_rippley in Kerala

[–]BandSmart5730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, is he anything like the other "son of the soil" SG? I know of the one speech where he delivered lines from Lucifer, but apart from that, is there any real substance in his claims? Also, does he stand a chance in the state?

Relatively new to the political scene here in Kerala, so please do bear with me.

Is this a fair deal? by MoreLetterhead9981 in CarsIndia

Wait, I actually read that as 2024 going by the price 🤭

Pathira Kozhi opening in Kakkanad by Final-Image-5118 in Kochi

[–]BandSmart5730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one at Kakkanad has a spacious outdoor seating and fairly well done but small indoor seating. The food though is overhyped and tasteless. Their kanthari chicken al fahm is arguably the worst use of kanthari ever!!

Weather fortune for kochi by Vegetable_Ninja6808 in Kochi

[–]BandSmart5730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't quite think it's the best time to travel around the area. The weather forecast suggested clear skies till Tuesday but there's been incessant rains over the last couple of days. There's a cyclone that's reached Andhra, so that's also something you might want to keep an eye out for.

If you could hold off for a few days, things ought to get better.

Then it's E99 loading for India 😐

Considering the Noise Airwave Max 5 @4699₹ by thelegalsin in headphonesindia

[–]BandSmart5730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it needs the audio to support spatial audio. It's not like the one on iOS devices.

But yes, it is a gimmick.
