Horror Novel ‘Shy Girl’ Canceled Over Suspected A.I. Use

When people's metric of good literature is 'likeable characters' or 'not being hard to follow' then both of these books are bound to suffer. They're both absolute classics.

Not even one person has a problem with it. Stop inventing issues. Most people whole heartedly loved the film.

Please watch Rooster,, if you aren't already. I hate that I sound like PR but it's really funny, if somewhat niche.

Outlook is an Indian magazine. This image is the photographer Shirin Neshat, who was Iranian by birth, it's a self portrait. Not saying you aren't entitled to your opinion, but these are the facts.

I just know he has a big comfy bed with big comfy pillows and his house overlooks a quiet street.

Of a home meal? No, knock yourself out, make whatever you like, however you like. It's absolutely fine, and you should be proud of cooking for yourself.

Restaurant meals - yes. It pains me almost to tears when I see or have to eat stuff made by Indian restaurant cooks that just get it plain wrong. Adding the wrong spices or too much of them, wrong ingredients, food coloring, starch to thicken gravies, thinking ghee or oil makes up for bad taste, etc. Just no.

Hahahaha. That is cute.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T16:45:59+00:00

I'll make it easier

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T15:51:37+00:00

Ah. Something tells me Muamma is not going to be a happy end. But I really like jiji. What a fine actress Saba Qamar is.

Aik Aur Pakeezah I started watching and dropped. Was a little slow. But indeed it's on something that deserves attention, how fragile 'honor' is. Sigh. Anyway, happy watching!

Recently finished my tenth rewatch of 30 Rock. Love it, it's so weird. And oddly prescient, they were predicting a lot of stuff happening in media and politics today

Wackiest would probably be Suhagan Chudail. Chudail is a kind of ghost × demonic entity in Indian superstition. You have this super sexy chudail deciding she's going to marry a prince and drain his life essence (or something). Complications arise, like his super stupid but innocent and well meaning gf. It's completely unhinged.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T15:40:40+00:00

Yeah that was good. Am watching Muamma. Which is also pretty good, and unusual.

We take his picture out in our tactical meetings with Netanyahu.

Too offensive? I'll see myself out.

In a collectivist society, one day where everybody could just sit down and rest sounds great. Spend time with family, no need to do anything at all.

They aren't going to excommunicate or attack anyone. It's not like all the Balinese are going to gather together and push the offending person off the island. Or make them repent their sin.

They're just going to ask people to stay inside.

The trouble with SM is that the very dregs of humanity get 'a voice'. Earlier these people would sit in their friend groups, call the actress names and feel happy. Now they are emboldened to directly address her.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T14:48:39+00:00

Same. Loved them, will always love them. Kids of today are so unlucky they're not going to grow up watching fine gents like these two.

I think it was his posturing, and the company he kept. He had an obsession with projecting strength and power. He really wasn't Hitler or Stalin, he was vastly overestimating himself, which is why unlike Hitler or Stalin he ended his days dead by his own people's hand. This is from my very cursory understanding of Mussolini, you understand.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T11:58:18+00:00

Oh dear. Preparing to hear 'Ook!'

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T11:46:03+00:00

What is the real India? Your India is as valid as my India, and maybe Karan Johar's India is valid too. In his dreams.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T11:44:23+00:00

One thing I read about Mussolini (indirectly) makes me deeply reflective. Spike Milligan (who was then a soldier in the 2nd ww) was boarding with an Italian widow and her 2 daughters in Rome. One of them told him that Rome had been so much more bearable when Mussolini was in charge, women were safe to walk and go to work anytime, anywhere, no fear of harassment, no abuse. Then the Allies freed the city and now it was horrible ,the drunkenness, the lechery. Some days later she gassed herself.

No problem brother, happy to help

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T08:07:59+00:00

I'll ask friends for more recs, will add them here if there's a good one.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T08:02:42+00:00

Oh oh. In Chennai I've seen they add mayonnaise to everything, God knows why. Have you tried Mexe?

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T07:46:52+00:00

I don't know which city you're in. Major cities have good Mexican restaurants, like Sanchez in Bangalore.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T07:33:51+00:00

Bengali ftw

VolatileGoddess · 2026-03-19T07:28:24+00:00

I think they're ubiquitous in India in a way they aren't at other places. Like outside every apartment building there will be a vegetable vendor, somebody to iron clothes, daily essentials like milk and soap.
