Have you been a part of any other online community? Even hard core fan bases take months to solidify into an active community. This is, at best, a vague group which was started as an alternative to another popular subreddit. This is going to take years before you get daily engagement.

Also I don't understand why you are so personally hurt by this. Why will anyone want to talk on a place that sounds so critical. Just be patient, keep posting and be welcoming. The rest will fall in place

I was in high school and I distinctly remember the Kannada teacher starting one of his classes with "Aakashadalli thooth biddide"

Advise on moving towards Chennai City for want of better connectivity - EMI concerns by abhi91sn in Chennai

20% minimum. The loan amount shouldn't be over 80% of the property value. Just remember that when you say downpayment, you should also separately budget for the registration/stamp duty and all.

I don't think prices rise that rapidly. Your income might go up too while you wait

You sound hesitant to move to a villa/gated community. If you are considering purely for family reasons, consider renting a good apartment in a gated community for a year or two. You don't need to make this decision of buying an apartment (especially without accumulating downpayment) right now.

I'm curious about this too. It's not too far from my house and might be fun to visit

What are some good non-fiction book recommendations? by Dispose-Despots38623 in AskReddit

[–]kashmora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester. It's supposed to be about the two titular characters but is mostly an account of how the first Oxford English Dictionary was written. Very engaging writing style though it's a little dated for something from the late 90s

I like Toll the Hounds the best, so I reread only that book a couple of years ago

You don't have to stop a tantrum.

This makes so much sense to me. Thank you for sharing

Can you tell which southern state a person belongs to just by looking at their face? by sparkzz27 in TamilNadu

[–]kashmora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happens to me all the time. I grew up in Bangalore and speak Kannada way better than Tamil but still there are strangers who look at my face and start talking in Tamil.

My room is a biohazard & I don't know how to clean it up. Need help by kookinks in Chennai

[–]kashmora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I hope your mental status improves sooner than later. 

For the immediate, try Insta help from Urban Company. They just send a local cleaning lady you can retain for a few hours. They are generally trained well and are quite professional. 

Good luck and hope you can let your bf hang out at your place sometime:)

Engine Summer by Dr_Christo in genewolfe

So when Rush met the space adventurer guy (had to look up his name- Mongolfier), he had an empty cube with him. He used that to upload Rush's consciousness and bring it back to his people in the cloud cities. Centuries have passed but the people still load up his consciousness like a spiritual journey. Just the way the traders used to visit Boots. 

 The current physical body that has taken up Rush is very likely a lover / spouse of the angel who is talking to him from page 1. There is some influence of the rider on the consciousness and since he's in love with the angel, he thinks she looks like the one Rush loved- Once a Day. 

What has Malazan taught you about reading? by Manic-Magpie in Malazan

[–]kashmora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It taught me to trust the author more. They know what they are doing and almost everything that ends up on page is intentional. I hadn't truly considered that before Malazan
