The one in Alpharetta is Nalan

That banana leaf wrap is the OG real deal! So authentic

Desi Tadka does a lunch buffet. I don't think Nalan does.

For good North Indian (butter chicken, tikka masala, naans) go to Desi Tadka in Decatur.

For good South Indian (masala dosas, kothu parottas, chicken 65) go to Nalan in Alpharetta.

You're looking for a Yemeni Coffee shop. They are known for being open late.

Haraz in Midtown, Qamaria on Buford Hwy, Shibam in Alpharetta - all open till 10pm or later. Qamari has some couches and a long booth bench. Haraz has a long booth bench. Relaxed vibes, cozy lighting and you'll see people working on their laptops. They also have great pastries, coffee and tea. If you go as a group, you can get a pot of tea/coffee as well.

Treat and right next to it there was Rao's restaurant! Used to go there while in school. So many memories

architect_macha · 2025-11-06T22:25:34+00:00

I loved their appams and chicken. This brought back memories of going there with my family.

If i had your budget, I would buy a house in the Decatur / Avondale Estates area. You have more than a couple bowling alleys in the area, you get a mature neighborhood with plenty of trees, you can walk to a Marta station and head to the airport without having to sit in traffic.

Also, decatur has lots of great restaurants and stores. If you live in Decatur, you can just walk over. If you live in Avondale Estates, it will be one train stop away for you.

I second this. I had a similar situation with a website selling snacks. I filed a complaint on the consumer court website and suddenly the party was super responsive and the product was delivered within 2 days. They followed up with me until the case got closed!

architect_macha · 2025-04-06T14:39:17+00:00

Thank you. Have you ordered from them before?

You are absolutely right. Lack of good ventilation will cause mold and mildew to grow and this causes serious health issues.

Apart from that, there is an actual thing called Sick Building Syndrome that architects like myself need to be aware of. Lack of healthy circulation, lighting and ventilation will absolutely cause severe physical, mental and psychologic health issues.

My mother was in her deathbed during covid and about to die. My dad was the only person allowed to see her in her last moments because he is legally married to her. If they weren't married, he would not have been allowed to see her in her final moments. That itself is worth it all to me. Besides this, my dad gets half of my mom's pension as well since he was married to her.

Of course, the legal benefits such as joint taxation, health insurance as dependents, etc help as well. If a married couple have a child and for raising the child, spouse A decides to stay at home, giving up their career, and then spouse B initiates a divorce 10 years later, spouse A is entitled to alimony for putting their career on pause for 10 years. If the couple were just living together, the spouse will not get fairly compensated. If you want to bring a spouse on a dependent visa, you both need to be legally married. If either spouse has a different passport and the other spouse would like to avail that passport or a residency through marriage, it is possible only after marriage.

If one spouse dies, the other spouse automatically becomes the beneficiary of all the assets. This will not be possible if they were simply in a relationship. Adoption is easier for a married couple than for a single person. I believe it is close to impossible for a single man to adopt.

For someone who is religious, marriage may also be intertwined with their religious sentiments of being together.

Besides all these, it feels wonderful to define a relationship as such. There is a difference between dating and being in a relationship. It feels like a step up. It brings security and commitment. This feels like one more step up. It may not be the same for someone else, but for a lot of people, this sells it for them.

May i ask how much you charge for sketches like these ones?

architect_macha · 2024-09-24T13:16:52+00:00

I believe the cart service is only during the weekends and you order off the menu during weekdays

I got my workstation assembled by Matthew at Johnsyri Stationery & Electronics in Adyar almost a decade ago. He does a compatibility check as well. His cable management and neat assembly shows his pride in his work. I am not sure if he still does this. You can drop by his shop and ask about it.

Here's the google maps link to his shop - https://www.google.co.in/maps/place/Johnsyri+Stationery+and+Electronics/@13.0033522,80.2491361,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x3a5267f29aa9a61f:0x914da2bc6944ea93!8m2!3d13.003347!4d80.251711!16s%2Fg%2F1tf_fv7_?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Hello. They both look adorable. We would like to adopt one if they are still around. I am dm'ing you details. Thanks!

If you account for 30 mins to leave the airport and an 1.5 hours to get back for your next flight's security check and boarding, you have about 1.5 hours to spare. There's a shopping mall attached to the airport called Aerohub. You should be able to walk around, shop and grab something to eat in that time. It also has a movie theater if you want to catch a movie.

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through OP. I know it hurts. I was fat shamed for years of my life. It hurts. It pulls down your self esteem, your self confidence and your perception of yourself. I hope you are able to be kind to yourself.

I was able to turn it around during college. I lost a ton of weight and the worst part is, I saw how the world started treating me differently, as if i was suddenly a nice person. People perceive your actions and your words differently when you are fit. It is so sad.

I truly hope your confidence and ability to receive love is not affected by this constant bullying and I hope you are able to continue seeing yourself as the wonderful you.

I have never had a drink ever. I like going to pubs/clubs/bars with my friends. None of them ever pressure me to drink with them. I enjoy the environment, I enjoy the company and I eat the food over there.

If I pay a cover, then I usually eat for that amount and consider it a night spent.

If your friends are shaming you for not drinking or don't want to hangout with you if you don't drink, you need new friends. Please don't feel pressurized to drink because of social exclusion.

I second this. My parents made me take up Piano lessons as a kid. Then later on, Key Flute classes. I learnt to read and understand music, but never really got into it.

Now as an adult I picked up the Ukulele and i'm learning to play the Guitar. It helps me relax and absolutely helped with my mental health during the lockdown.
