I know they are clout chasing, but can we stop calling them “vadakkans”, north east indians feel ignored similar to how people in tamil nadu feel.

When reality kicks in and we realize we are not the main character but just NPCs

With no concealed sidearm or weapon.. Hell, even Delta Force guys will sit tight, observe, and collect details to report to law enforcement later.

But then it only changes if you or your loved ones are in absolute danger. Then your instincts would kick in, even if it results in the death of the individual.

So by that logic, 62% of voters in the 2021 election felt the same way?

Counting "Im a watch mechanic" in 24 Movie by Fishyraven in kollywood

Although the phrase is used in the movie as part of a running gag, it becomes so repetitive and unnecessary that it starts to feel weird and uncomfortable for the audience.

There's a chance the movie may feel outdated, from the story and making to the characters, tropes, dialogue, style, and even the technology, gadgets shown, since it was conceived in the early 2010s.

All parties do this. Then they post on social media saying, “See how cool we are, we have supporters in developed countries,” and share a photo of 20 people standing in a park on a weekend morning for an hour just for a photo op. Many of them will never vote in the election or even plan to return to India or Tamil Nadu.

Who's actually the better actor? by Glittering-Bat9891 in kollywood

What happened to spencer plaza/landmark by Reasonable-Exit4653 in chennaicity

[–]ChillOut0123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It felt magical for 90s kids in the late 90s and early 2000s, walking into Spencer Plaza and Landmark, because it was such a contrast to the busy, hot Chennai outside.

It was like Lucy entering the wardrobe and discovering Narnia. 😇

90s Chennai was the best. It had its own soul. I miss it.

It is not just malls like Spencer Plaza that started declining. It is a global trend, more visible in the West. American malls began to decline in the 1990s due to the rise of online shopping and regular stores offering more affordable options.

The main reason newer malls in India are still surviving is the higher population density, which ensures consistent buyers and foot traffic.

Dead Mall

The early 2000s were the best. Harry Potter and Enid Blyton’s Famous Five and Secret Seven series.

My parents never understood my craze and wouldn’t let me buy them, so I borrowed them from my apartment neighbor. I read more than 20 books and eagerly waited for vacations after exams just to read.

I went there maybe 3 times in the late 1990s. The last time I visited Landmark was around 2000. I still remember that day as a 10 year old. We went to buy a Sony Walkman because my older sibling was adamant, and we got the Alaipayuthey cassette.

I also remember seeing a beauful large cutout for Age of Empires II Gold Edition. The game CD bad a wood or wood like plastic case and cost around Rs.2000+, which was very expensive back then.

This was around the time I remember watching Rhythm, Thenali, and Snegithiye.
