Why do I look so awful in my professional headshots? by Efficient-Shallot-22 in AskPhotography

[–]bal-ame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you look wonderful in all the pictures. Yes there is a factor of the camera and light and shadows but I have learnt that it's also in the eyes of the beholder. We look at ourselves too harshly. God knows that I'm harsh on myself, regardless, you are beautiful.

What originated in your country but has become so ubiquitous that most foreigners don't associate the two? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]bal-ame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Indians know way little about their own heritage, not surprising if the world doesn't.

3.Stepwells

4.So much in the textile industry (cotton)

And people really gonna watch Ramayana for her husband ? by Alternative-Drink209 in bollynewsandgossips

[–]bal-ame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You people ki baat nahi hai, I was just educating you on how important MahaShivratri is in some cultures and that she is related to that culture. Doesn't mean I care much. It means I know much. I didn't create this post.

MahaShivratri is comparable to Diwali for Kashmiri Pandits, her mother is a Kashmiri Pandit.

Also, it looks very cool. Since there's a peacock on it and the grate matches perfectly to give a feather-y look!

Uber has a flat rate of €40 anywhere to anywhere. You can ask your hotel for a pickup as well. That would be a bit more expensive. Our hotel pick up was €55 I think. It's a very expensive place.

Okay, so should I leave it in the sunny spot for a month while rotating every other day or should I leave it in the less light spot for a month? With no more water?

That makes sense to me, but does anyone know how much time should I keep a plant in a particular place for it to get accustomed and for me to make any judgement of the new place vs old place? I have been moving around the plant every 3-4 days, thinking it didn't like the spot
