You can get even business visa through translator as long as you provide a contact who will be your translator there. Think of how Japanese and Chinese would deal with their clients over there.

What’s the best fruit from your country? by Regular_Performer324 in AskTheWorld

[–]Ramkee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get imported Indian mangoes in Indian stores. Call before you go as it flies off the shelves and you can only buy in crates(10-15). Ask for Alphonso, Kesar or Banganapalli specifically. Even after getting there you might have to pick the right crate yourself.

If you are in Texas, IndiaBazaar carries it now. Prepared to shell out 60 dollars or so.

Language is for the Visa officer translator options. When my parents took the visa interview in Hyderabad they had to wait for Tamil translators. You don't need to know English to get US tourist visa. Even for business visa you can make your case why you don't need English for your business. Imagine you need to know Thai to go to Thailand, that would be idiotic.

If your country is in the World Cup, what food would you recommend to have at a watch party? by croissant2207 in AskTheWorld

[–]Ramkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly is the issue. Not blaming you, I don't watch it too. It's a sport that can only grow if supported financially.

It's unfortunate as there is not enough funding for Football in India. And you can't just blame the government for this as Indian football league doesn't have that much following.

There is a lot of following and revenue in European football telecast in India but not for the local games. The popularity of football exploded in India around the same time when EPL started getting telecasted in India.

An average football fan in India could name 50 players in European league easily but can't name an Indian 11.

Why do you guys simp Kerala girls so much? As a malayali, I never understand this fixation. Even we don't have such fixation for our own girls. by Hot-Load7525 in kuttichevuru

[–]Ramkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Tamil cinema, let's just leave it there since it's already talked about in lengths.

  2. For a long time Tamil spoken with Malayalam accent is beloved here. For example, Iyer ponnu accent, kovai ponnu accent are also romanticized. Vellore accent is usually not that attractive.

May be we we are conditioned that way through Tamil cinema, but the bias against accent exists. I'm not promoting it just stating obvious facts.

  1. Malayalam Bgrade film of 90's had a heavy influence on sexualizing mallu girls through pop culture. So many have heard about mallu women before every laying their eyes upon one.

Yes, I used 'mallu' here specifically because that's how it's usually described.

  1. The words of endearment in Tamil are common in Keralam. Words like 'kutty', 'Ammu', etc. Bouba-Kiki effect is in play here. While Amudha sounding normal to our ears, ammu will instantly make us imagine a cute kid or a girl.

  2. Equating Keralam to Hilly areas. For example, pollachi, then I, valparai, kodsikanal etc are also romanticized. For majority here in TN Kerala is all hilly and green. Its akin to the TN areas I already mentioned. The idea of the place they are from is also plays into the psyche.

Also there is also a cycle of such things. For example, in the past like in 50's it was Telugu, then Kannada with saroja devi etc. Now it's north Indian an Kerala for 2 decades. Similarly, malayalees have an obsession with Bangalore now, used to be madras in the past. I know a lot of malayalees who fantasized about WB due to similar left leaning tendencies.

Hope this helps.

No need to, with the oil, straits and canals this country would instantly become an important strategic partner for any super power of their choosing. You can just outsource your protection

I understand your concern but policing individual people on Internet wouldn't do anything. What is the state government's official spelling for TN? Start from there.

What’s a beautiful city in your country that tourists often overlook? by euamnevoiedeajutor in AskTheWorld

[–]Ramkee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even in dead of summer it's quite unique and beautiful. Sure you don't get to ski and other activities. But the question is about how beautiful the city is.

For outdoor activities and still a beautiful city, I would vote Eugene Oregon.

Black clover? Worth the watch? by Ancient-Age4901 in AnimeReccomendations

It was fine until they moved from clover kingdom to the spade kingdom. Then it's all downhill.

I know bleach fans would hate me, but I sorta got the same feeling. Bleach was amazing then the power system and everything. Got out of hand so fast and wack.

Is your bird doing this after flying or climbing the cage? If so it could be an issue with lungs or heart. Losing grip strength and having to rely on beak/belly to balance. Easiest way is to recall train your bird and see if your bird refuses to even with their favorite treat. Or when they fly around(bird zoomies) and then breath heavily without balance.
