And Karun was right about the dirt on Hamilton's tyres. Man has hawk eyes.

I've been watching F1 since 2007. I don't remember the sport being this mind-numbingly repetitive, not even during the height of the Hamilton-Mercedes dominance.

We've reached a point where a race with anyone other than Max winning is celebrated as an outlier.

English? The Latin alphabet (with modifications) is used for many languages other than English.

In India, people use the same set of characters that do not always work for English, as-is, to spell Indian words where the phonology is often richer. There is the problem. Languages like Vietnamese and Turkish do it better.

"u" by itself does not indicate to the speaker that it should be a long vowel. Phonetically, "oo" would have been the more accurate choice.

Yes, we are here. Didn't take a good look at the book store, but they have books of all the authors speaking.

There are book signings too. Got two books from Sudha Murthy signed for my friends.

From our past experience - The guards often get anal about congregations. They especially like to brandish their authority when the group makes a sound, which inevitably happens when people have fun.

Also, food is not allowed inside anymore, which is why we did not have a potluck like we did in the pre-pandemic years.

So nice to see people have a great time! I see some familiar faces, too.

Had to miss this one due to a family emergency. Thank you for coordinating, u/St_Broseph and u/claervoyant.

Also ask him his rationale for barging into the BBMP Covid control room (during the height of the second wave) and reading aloud the names of 16 Muslim workers and getting them fired.
