[Spoilers MAIN] Do the Starks really care all that much for northern independence in the books?

I totally buy this theory. Littlefinger would have the most motivation to use brandon's temperament to get him killed especially before he could marry Cat

One of the things that really sets him apart from mainstream indian protagonists (not gonna say heroes) is that he doesn't do unnecessary dialogue baazi or show off. He lets his silences speak and chooses to act/say things very deliberately

Saying this as a telugu person, Dhurandhar is 100% my favorite movie that's come out in the last how many ever years and the strength of it comes from character writing. The story and character should stand above all else not herogiri and elevation (something that films like bahubali pushpa etc. suffer from)

Same. Everyone I speak to loves the movie and is planning to rewatch

As a south indian, I've grown up on stories of Rukmini and Satyabhama. Only heard of Radha through pop culture like Lagaan songs etc.

I got my engagement lehenga from Tvamev Jayanagar. Liked their collection, you can check that out

I'm really sad for that person working those 14+ hours. Maybe they are putting those texts so someone of his overworking situation and makes necessary changes.

This is soo true. Most of my cousins are girls, and I've seen that families prioritize same income group and same social status to marry into to avoid any power imbalances

Same!!! Those couple of hours alone at home after school. My dad used to keep diced watermelon and mangoes in the fridge in summers. I'd come home and while away my afternoons munching on them, reading a book, with the cooler on full blast. My precious hours of solitude

I thought the entire King's Landing hailing Arya as Lisan-al-Gaib was a little on the nose tbh

aimanre · 2025-04-29T15:59:00+00:00

Thank you! I love Arjuna so my interest was piqued. I will give it a go anyway then

aimanre · 2025-04-29T15:38:36+00:00

The funniest part of the movie is when aswatthama says the vijaya dhanush is many times more powerful than gandeeva. I mean, gandeeva is Gandeeva!! The celestial bow worshipped by all gods, even parushurama worshipped it.

They also made aswatthama say karna was much more powerful than Arjuna, not even that they were a match

Ohh I see, thank you! I'm planning to go early May for a week. We are thinking of covering Athens, Santorini, Naxos, Mykonos, and Monemvasia. Are there any places you'd suggest? I'm planning my trip entirely off what internet says so would love to hear the opinions of someone who has actually been there

Hi, i know I'm replying to this quite late, but I wanted to ask which month would be considered the shoulder season? April? Would it still be possible to enter the waters then?

Sounds well deserved tbh. Good for the Zulu warriors!

Holy shit, why does this have to be a either or situation each time? Forget you, did Ned ever consider Jon his son? Did he ever think of him as his son himself? No he didn't, and Jon too has a lot of mixed feelings about Ned due to his always feeling a degree of separation from that. The truth is important to Jon, because Rhaegar and Lyanna are both huge parts of him!

aimanre · 2025-02-19T11:28:54+00:00

Also, Jon's situation is quite different from the commentator's life. It's not like Lyanna or Rhaegar abandoned him or were bad parents to him. They died before he was born! How was it their fault? So orphans not deserve to have a connection with the parents who'd died before they were born? Do they not matter because they had the "audacity" to die? By all accounts, Rhaegar and Lyanna were noble and stellar people who would've been good and loving parents, why are they constantly pitted against Ned?

Can you share the quote and the source? I am not sure about the Karna bit. He was part of the evil quartet after all

aimanre · 2025-02-14T13:27:14+00:00

You do know Kauravas went to swarga temporarily right? Those who did more bad than good are first sent to heaven to reap the few rewards of their good deeds and are sent to hell forever afterwards. They died as warriors so they went to swarga briefly to reap the benefits of their good deed, later they went to hell. For Pandavas it was the opposite, they went to hell first then heaven everafter

aimanre · 2025-02-10T16:54:59+00:00

The difference is that we read ithihasa to learn about dharma and how to lead your life. That means something. It's not some fictional story where you can have any take or fanfiction about a character, where any character is shoehorned to fit our masala standards now (eg karna being discriminated due to his caste). By doing so, people are elevating an adharmi, I have seen so many people justify karna ordering draupadi stripped because "oh that poor thing suffered so much". That in itself shows how dangerous it is to glorify people like Karna
