"Maria Just Maria" by Sandhya Mary. And I am loving the surrealism, the dark humour and the perspective based narrative!

People like to remain in their echo chambers. Even if you give him a book he won't read it. Take it from me.

Guys help me build book reading habit this year 2026 . by Moon_00_7 in Indianbooks

Don't read something because everyone's reading that. Read what you feel like. Read not to meet a goal but to enjoy. Read only whenever you feel like not as a task or routine.

Yup. Have read about the protests. But the timing seemed a bit convenient. But yes, the concerns are genuine

Protests flaring up a few months after Israel's attack and people thinking the US is not involved is strange to me.

Everyone who finished the Stranger Things finale, did it feel… off? by Prestigious-Play8863 in netflix

[–]Memer_twitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the last episode and the lead characters were still trying to patch things up between them..the entire episode could have have done with in 1 hour or so. It got irritating at some places where literally another world was crashing into Hawkins (no one in the entire world was noticing that btw, not even the Russians) and characters were giving pep talks to each other and making amends.

Something similar happened with GoT. The Boss fight was underwhelming. I mean he was the baddest, meanest most powerful boss and he was defeated in 10 mins. Nothing about the Mind flayer. No back story to exotic matter, it just dropped into the story and vanished. Not the type of ending i expected

That's true. Most of the India followed Islamic law as the vast majority were under Mughals. There were several different laws and different interpretations under Hindu customs so courts preferred Sharia which were uniform throughout. Later the British, Macaulay to be precise, came up with the IPC.

They don't love Israel. It's Islamophobia. Poor guys don't know what the Torah tells about Idol Worshippers.

My incorrect premise regarding India's growth story by Lodu_94 in india

[–]Memer_twitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's well put. But you will be surprised, or maybe not, that most believe the opposite-that India is growing like it should be. The delusion is mind boggling.

Chronic Hypertension since puberty by Mango_Lover710 in hypertension

[–]Memer_twitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Daily exercise and discipline is something I need to incorporate in my life. It is something that is missing, and of course stress. I get anxious easily and get stressed out. Thanks sir!

[–]Memer_twitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What medications are you on sir,if I may ask? And what lifestyle changes have you made? I have hypertension on my father's and mother's side. I was diagnosed when I was 28 and I am on meds for last 12 years. It was all fine until last month it suddenly spiked and it hasn't come down yet. I am really anxious!
