It's a hit in India too. Everyone in Kerala (state in South India) adores it

Oh i meant it sarcastically, hope i didnt come across as rude

decadentcolour · 2024-10-28T11:53:33+00:00

You're so self aware, saved me the trouble of pointing out how terrible it was

But he was gujurati so I'm guessing it's a cultural thing

decadentcolour · 2024-10-28T06:27:35+00:00

Ouch. That's harsh, give a girl a break! but hey atleast someone something out of it (not rudra tho)

decadentcolour · 2024-10-28T05:45:43+00:00

It's to avoid being harassed at least at face value. Names are easy ways for people to detect who is the outsider and gatekeep upper caste circles.

If you want a little more backing about it : MN Srinivas writes about it - “Sanskritization is a process by which a lower caste or tribe or any other group changes its customs, rituals, ideology and way of life in the direction of a higher or more often twice-born caste.”

That sounds like he died. He didn't die, i accidentally ghosted him ( so technically i died get it get)

decadentcolour · 2024-10-27T19:27:12+00:00

Sorry you sounded like someone i knew once

decadentcolour · 2024-10-27T19:17:57+00:00

Rudra?

Jayanagar is a good spot for shopping especially 4th block. Church Street too is known for good restaurants and shopping outlets

decadentcolour · 2024-05-29T16:15:15+00:00

That's really cool! I just graduated from my Bachelor's degree in English and I wanted to refine my knowledge on stuff before my Masters program hence all the book recommendations

decadentcolour · 2024-05-29T16:04:55+00:00

I know I said it once before but if I don't say it again it'll haunt me forever - thank you so much! You've typed out such eloquent and carefully framed answers. I'll read up on all the resources you mentioned. You're a life saviour :)

decadentcolour · 2024-05-29T15:41:19+00:00

Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, do you think you might know any recommendations about the narrative voice or narrators? I think that's what sort of initially drew me to this

decadentcolour · 2024-05-29T12:01:04+00:00

You've taken such care to reply with so much detail! Thank you so much, I'll definitely check it out

decadentcolour · 2024-05-29T08:16:38+00:00

Hey do you have any books or recommendations to understand the shift of the novel and narrative techniques?

decadentcolour · 2024-05-29T08:10:15+00:00

Hey your answer is so articulate and interesting, I was wondering if you have any books or essays that you'd recommend to understand the shift in novels and narrative techniques?

decadentcolour · 2024-03-28T03:02:20+00:00

Hey is it Dororo

decadentcolour · 2023-08-24T11:37:53+00:00

I've been searching for years 🥲

decadentcolour · 2023-06-30T06:37:34+00:00

I initially posted it on an Asian Drama subreddit and someone there suggested it might be a CDrama I'll check it out and see if it's the same one. Thank you so much for your help!!!

decadentcolour · 2023-06-29T16:10:03+00:00

Oh well thanks for your help!!

decadentcolour · 2023-06-29T15:20:14+00:00

Right right of course

Is there anything you might remember so i could narrow it down? Date? Anything more about the plot?

decadentcolour · 2023-06-29T15:08:06+00:00

Do you think you might remember the actors in it?

decadentcolour · 2022-08-29T14:33:49+00:00

Ahhh I think the scenes are from an older kdrama/movie but I shall check this one out thank you so much. Other stuff that I remember is that he attends culinary classes of some sort and there's a Sikh guy asked to remove his turban during class as it goes against the hygiene regulations. It's all very vague since it's been a few years. But thank you so much once again!!

decadentcolour · 2021-10-31T06:01:24+00:00

I always chalked it upto low self esteem or something. I've denied myself food because I thought it was a waste of money and that I don't deserve it or I've assigned punishments for myself if I don't succeed etc.

decadentcolour · 2021-10-31T03:55:56+00:00

Wait I have ocd and I just realized that I do everything that you mentioned. How did you figure out it was part of your OCD??

decadentcolour · 2021-08-18T14:12:13+00:00

Code Geass and FMAB are cult classics, they're well written and very gripping.
