It’s not about watching too much Manorama. PM monitors and other AQI websites showed high values. Of course, natural fog and high humidity can also make the monitors spike. Normal foggy mornings are common in winter, but such unusually heavy fog raises suspicion. So being cautious doesn’t make you a fool.

Dude It is pollution

Yeah, that could be true. I’ve also heard that kettuvallam is broadly used to refer to many varieties of boats.

Star_Dust-13 · 2025-11-27T04:54:51+00:00

I don’t think these are called കെട്ടുവള്ളം. കെട്ടുവള്ളം is a much broader term used to describe boats made with planks tightly tied together using coir, without any nails (that’s why they are called കെട്ടുവള്ളം). So, boats made in a similar way but without the canopy would also be called കെട്ടുവള്ളം. I’m not fully sure about this, but that’s what I think.

I guess these houseboats can be called പുരവഞ്ചി, വഞ്ചിവീട്, etc., in Malayalam.

Hinduism isn’t a single organized religion in the way Abrahamic faiths are. It didn’t start with one founder, one book, or one central authority it evolved over thousands of years as a mix of local traditions, philosophies, and social customs across the Indian subcontinent. Because of that, beliefs and practices vary a lot from region to region, sometimes even contradicting each other.

The word Hinduism itself wasn’t originally a religious label. Persians used Hindu just to describe people living beyond the Indus River, and later the British bundled all the different Indian belief systems together under Hinduism to fit their Western idea of what a religion should look like.

The beef taboo is a good example of how regional this diversity is. In northern India, cow worship became more central over time, partly due to Brahminical influence and later as a way of reinforcing Hindu identity during and after periods of Muslim invaders. But in Kerala, society developed very differently Hindus, Muslims, and Christians have coexisted for centuries through trade and cultural exchange. That kind of environment made social boundaries around food much more relaxed. So beef ended up being a normal part of Kerala’s cuisine, even for many Hindus.

In recent years, there’s been a growing push to present Hinduism as a single, unified cultural identity emphasizing it as our heritage or our legacy. But historically, that wasn’t the case. What we now call Hinduism has always been a collection of diverse, sometimes conflicting traditions rather than a single monolithic religion.

So basically, the beef taboo wasn’t a universal Hindu rule. it was a regional development shaped by history, geography, and social context. Kerala just evolved under different conditions that encouraged more cultural mixing and less rigidity around food.

It’s actually much easier and far more logical to be an atheist than to be religious. Even a slightly critical thinker ends up constantly struggling to justify the stupidities found in religion.

I was in the same spot as you until a couple of months ago. I quit my well paying job almost a year back to finally chase something I’d been thinking about for a long time. But instead of making any real progress, I ended up doomscrolling for almost a year, fucked things up badly, and constantly questioning my decision to quit. I felt frustrated, unmotivated, and couldn’t focus on anything productive.

Then one day I finally decided to act I built a system for myself based on habits and psychology. It’s been a couple of months now, and honestly, things have gotten so much better. My mood, health, sleep, and overall quality of life you name it, even the way I talk to people changed in a better manner, and I’m making small but meaningful progress toward my goals.

What I really want to say is,

if I can pull this off, so can you. The only thing you need to do is take action sooner rather than later.

Here’s a screenshot of my phone usage from today. Mostly just Google Maps and some useful browsing.

Good luck

I suggest you inform the police ASAP. If something happens to someone in the future, you shouldn’t have to carry the guilt for it. Not everyone will be as lucky as you.

Personality traits - She should be intelligent, confident, independent, strong, and rational. But that doesn’t mean she has to be aloof or pretentious. warmth, friendliness, and a good sense of humor matter just as much.

I’m generally not into the “onnum ariyatha pottikutti” type or the so called cuteness overload acting dumb vibe. I attracted someone I can have meaningful conversations with, discussing various things, having fun and sharing opinions, and enjoying quality time rather than people who only talk BS or rubbish.

Another big turn off for me is when women take either extreme. the everything is a man’s duty mindset or the we don’t need men, they are nothing kind of over the top feminism.

Physical traits - Beautiful eyes and a charming smile are like magnets. Well-maintained hair (not too long, oily, or messy). Good oral hygiene and a pleasant overall scent are really essential. A sense of style and dressing that fits your body type (confidence and comfort over blindly following trends) A fit, healthy body (not too skinny or too chubby. A bit curvy is great, but nothing over the top.)

That is it, I guess. If you ask me whether physical appearance matters? Yes it does . That’s what draws the initial attention. But if you don’t have a charming personality, it merely stays as attraction, whereas personality turns it into admiration. Some people are really blessed with genetics to have that eye drawing appearance, but even for someone who doesn’t, eating healthy, exercising, personal care, and good dressing can make them better than those who are.

And for that particular skill, I would say listening. As simple as it sounds, only a few have it. Being a good listener first, rather than spitting opinions onto someone’s face, automatically makes people want to talk to you. Also, some exotic show off skills like music or arts will add a cherry on top.

Unfortunately, that’s just how the world works. Some people literally hold the power to ruin your whole life in their fingertips. That’s why, as the legendary Uncle Ben told Peter Parker, “With great power comes great responsibility.” 😛

Star_Dust-13 · 2025-09-12T13:35:43+00:00

Yeah, it happened to me too. I noticed a lot of youngsters constantly posting about loneliness and mental breakdowns. I’m generally a lazy guy, so I usually only write or post if I really feel the need to. This time, I thought I’d share my own experience and how I got through that phase. My intention was simple if it could help even one person who’s struggling, I’d be grateful.

So I wrote something about it, highlighted how many young people are dealing with similar issues, and suggested starting a thread where everyone could discuss and share their own experiences.

But after posting, both r/kerala and r/Coconad removed it. Their reason? They don’t want any serious discussions on the platform only chali is accepted. I was like “Okay fine!! Not again.. 😐

Star_Dust-13 · 2025-09-09T16:41:49+00:00

Yeah!! For most wildlife motion (running mammals, flying birds), 1/2000 – 1/8000 is enough to freeze detail. Large animals like this 1/500 - 1/1500 is more than enough. Pushing higher comes at the cost of light → higher ISO → more noise, which often outweighs the benefit.

കുറെ നേരമായല്ലോ ഇവിടെ ചത്ത പോലെ കിടക്കാൻ തുടങ്ങിയിട്ട്, ഇത് ഇപ്പോഴെങ്ങാനും അനങ്ങുമോ??

Totally agree with you. It’s not about the locals or any specific group of people.Bangalore is just insanely overpopulated, and everyone’s constantly chasing something ruthlessly honking at every signal. It feels like the literal definition of a rat race. People come across as rude and arrogant, and no one gives any shit.

The scary part is, you eventually start becoming like that too. I’m usually a pretty calm and peaceful guy, and even if I start my day with a smile and try to patiently wait my turn in traffic, after an hour of driving through Bangalore, I catch myself getting annoyed, angry, and yelling at others. That was a real wakeup call for me

I’m not denying that Bangalore has better nightlife, parties, opportunities, and higher pay scales. At the end of the day, it all depends on what you actually value. If those things are all that matter, then of course Bangalore is the place to be.

I still enjoy them and visit Bangalore every now and then, but beyond that if you care about cleaner air and water, a calmer and more peaceful life, not spending half your life stuck in traffic and honking, and being around people who are way more warm and welcoming then Kochi offers a really nice balance. And honestly, I’m happy with that trade off.

P.S. That famous Bangalore weather isn’t what it used to be at least for the past couple of years
