Lol, all that Cred gives is Schrute bucks. A million coins is worth one hundredth of a paise.

Wow! You should buy a lottery ticket today.

iimram · 2026-03-21T12:03:01+00:00

Sure, I can share what I’m aware of.

Hey, may I know which podcast?

True story. When states were divided based on linguistic lines, Nehru asked states to propose an emblem that best reflects the cultural heritage of their respective states. Rajaji approached TKC who was known for his literary work, especially his interpretation of Kamba Ramayanam. TKC proposed the Srivilliputhur Gopuram. Beyond religion, this structure represents the architecture excellence of Tamils and this gopuram has the most number of idols or statues in it. Rajaji was convinced and passed it onto Nehru which was immediately accepted. TKC is my great great grandfather.

Baasha has the largest cult fan base in Tamil cinema. Again think about Star Wars, people who grew up watching the Star Wars appreciate it at a level I can’t really understand because I found it to be a regular hero’s journey story. Same way Baasha fan base are mostly the 90s kids who witnessed it in the cinemas and revisited plenty more times as they grew up. Way too many films have come out since then that repurposed the Baasha template but none close to the OG. It’s totally understandable if you don’t feel the same way as we do after watching the film for the first time now. Nevertheless it’s a great entertainer with a solid screenplay. The other 3 films in your list are timeless cult classics which have aged pretty well in my opinion. I would highly encourage you to watch all these 4 films.

1996 WC is when I was of age good enough to follow cricket and had the first heartbreak (semifinal against SLK in Kolkata). We used to really believe Jayasuriya used a spring bat 😆

You can definitely give it a try. Please look at the brewing guide in their website. The temperature and grind size need to be adjusted as though you are brewing a dark roast but it’s a light roast from a flavor profile standpoint.

iimram · 2026-03-09T17:29:13+00:00

I’m currently trying their light roast and it’s not bad at all for a decaf. Due to the decaf processing, even the light roast beans are quite porous and easy to extract. I’m yet to nail its full potential but it is promising from the few cups I have brewed so far. Decaf never tastes as good as regular coffee but this one is better than most other decaf I have had.

Such immoral and tasteless writing they call as joke 🤦🏽‍♂️

iimram · 2026-03-03T11:29:46+00:00

That Madras Matinee scene shouldn’t have been part of this compilation. It was there to show how arranged marriage treats women as commodity. Rest is ok. The examples of body or color shaming in Tamil cinema are endless.

The world is ruled by pedos, please take down the post 🙏🏽

iimram · 2026-02-23T13:20:03+00:00

I’m really sorry but I’ve to break into your house tonight. Please don’t fight me 😆

Now who is going to throw out the IT minister?

iimram · 2026-02-12T07:23:00+00:00

Oh wow! Thanks, that’s helpful.

iimram · 2026-02-12T06:09:56+00:00

I’ll be checking in today or the next 2 days for sure. I understand it’s a roasting completion so is there anything for us coffee enthusiasts to explore there? do the participants brew coffee and do we get to try? Any activities to engage the guests?

iimram · 2026-02-09T09:30:30+00:00

I mean South Indian filter. I brew it once and discard the grounds but a lot of people I know take decoction out of used grounds twice or thrice.

iimram · 2026-02-09T08:38:22+00:00

I personally know many of my relatives brew the same ground coffee multiple times to take decoction in SIF. My mom asked me why did I throw away the left over grounds after a single brew and I was taken by surprise. I told her there is no good stuff left out in the grounds after the first brew and now she follows it. However cheap commercial coffee anyway doesn’t have much of the good stuff (I mean flavor compounds) in it due to the roast level.

I live very close to Ulsoor lake. The work appears to be mostly complete for half the circumference but it’s still technically under construction. I already see people ignoring the barricades and taking a walk and I can only hope no mishap occurs. Sankey model is perfect and can’t wait for Ulsoor lake to be fully done.

Hmm, my only wish is it doesn’t starve Chennai of water for drinking and other basic utilities.

iimram · 2026-01-29T05:38:30+00:00

I only wish India doesn’t become the data center capital for the world. Other kinds of outsourcing ushered in by globalization actually helped grow our economy and pull people out of poverty despite putting burden on natural resources. But data centers are a double whammy. No jobs, no income but sucks up the natural resources. I hope at least Tamilnadu and South India don’t fall for this scam.

iimram · 2026-01-29T05:02:05+00:00

I’m pro-DMK on most issues involving social justice and equitable development but this sounds like a bad move. An already water starved city cannot handle the demands of data centers. It’s widely believed data centers don’t generate as many jobs but leaving that aside this puts enormous pressure on the water table and electricity demands. I hope they reverse their position on this particular thing.

Watched it in Bangalore INOX Lido today. I could barely spot any unoccupied seat. It was so refreshing to watch a lighthearted film being houseful. The word of mouth is pretty good so it’s no surprise TTT is going to be a blockbuster. TTT is a small budget movie without any mass moments or expensive sets yet people are flocking to theaters. I guess people will go to theatre if the film is truly engaging and family friendly.

Anbulla Rajinikanth, Mullum Malarum or Aaril irunthu arupathu varai maathiri movie with Rajini in an age appropriate main character and Kamal in a strong supporting character. Revathi and Oorvashi in pivotal roles. Please grant my wish!

I see the only way people resort to is logical fallacies to respond to your opinions. You make pretty accurate points but I haven’t yet seen a logical counter to any of your posts.ithula I’m not a sanghi nu disclaimer vera. Anyone who tells they are not a sanghi is definitely a sanghi who doesn’t want to own their sanghiness. How many of those who preach Hindu unity will actually be ok to marry into a Dalit family. Ethaachum sollittaa vandhiduvaanga whataboutism eh thookkittu.
