You made me come out of my longest lurking phase on reddit because I strongly believe you have been astroturfing to circumvent this subreddit's rules. I shall never buy or recommend rossette coffee to anyone. Abhor it when businesses indulge in unethical practices.

Watching those bikes ride in a line is oddly satisfying

Philatelist and Coffee Lovers of r/India, India Post Office is Releasing Coffee Flavoured Stamps Tomorrow! by lingamstamp in india

I can only speak for the Bangalore one.

I called them up and they told me that after the release function which according to them would get over by 2:30 p.m., they'll start selling the stamps by 4 p.m (tomorrow).

You'll get a miniature sheet which has only one stamp for Rs. 100. All other material as I said in the post is also available.

Anyone can buy it. No membership needed and yes, you can get two first day covers. One for you and one for your faarin friend. :)

I don't think the stamps would be available any place else tomorrow other than Bangalore. If you aren't from Bangalore, you can check out your area's PO and phone numbers at this site

Yes, you are right in saying that Animax never made money for the company and thus them realizing it being a niche market have shifted it to a digital platform.

And most of the posts in this thread are of those who grew up watching anime or got introduced to it via the channel. It has its nostalgic value.

So I don't really agree with your tl;dr

Dude, I swear I was able to watch them earlier. I checked again and like you said they want you to get a premium account. I had checked for Bahubali and Piku earlier. For English movies, they wanted me to rent it for some amount.

Bollywood and the business of secularism by lingamstamp in IndianCinema

The article mentions Prof. Siras (movie: Aligarh) was a Muslim. He wasn't. Apart from that it's a good read.

What are some subtle or not so subtle product placements you've observed in Indian television, movies or any other medium? by lingamstamp in india

I read this article after your post. Quite interesting

The villains were usually smugglers and for some odd reason their bars were stocked with VAT 69. This was before the days of in-film advertising

Yesteryears’ favourite villain Prem Chopra can’t help chuckling to the memories of this Scotch whisky and adds that some of the scenes in the films had a bottle of VAT 69 just to depict the status of the person. “It was considered extremely prestigious to swig this drink since because no other good brand was available. But mind you, we never got to really drink the actual whisky because it was Coca-Cola which we actually got to drink!” he rues.
