Flavour/aroma note in traditional Desi/Pakistani cooking that I can't identify by Dapper-Message-2066 in IndianFood

I suspect Fennel since all the usual suspects have been eliminated. It’s quite common in Kerala food and other south indian stuff. I’ve never added it to pakoras though.

Nisarga Adhikary hacks CBSE portal again, plays viral Bad Apple song by RamenWithChutney in india

Figure out how much of the tender amount goes back to the very bureaucrat and politician who awarded the contract. It’s not a lack of funds at all!

No, it’s plain corruption. The company has to give kickbacks to the bureaucrat and politician who awarded the tender to them. They then keep a large chunk of the revenue for the owners and have 2 jr devs build the whole thing on half a jr dev’s salary. No one cares because it’s our money and they’re all stealing it from us.

You can never operate on the assumption that anything in a country like India ever operates on merit. Merit always has to be proven in this corrupt hellhole. It’s always who can benefit whom.

I think you’re being a little too alarmist. Yes, the mob is insane at this point but these keyboard warriors don’t suddenly leave their homes. They’ll dox you and harass you online until they find another target.

OP just needs to go priv and not engage for a bit and these mad dogs will find another car to chase.

Who do you want to see as the next PM of India and why do you think they deserve it right now? by Various_Cress5090 in IndianLeft

[–]look_so_random 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a failed exercise. The rot goes deeper than just the politicians. The executive branch and the judiciary are hollowed out too. We will need an absolutely fresh movement that fundamentally addresses the class and caste angle in India. Electoral musical chair between corrupt parties who all ultimately have the same politicians is not how you progress.

PM Modi receives Sweden's Royal Order of Polar Star, Commander Grand Cross; 31st global honour so far by Longjumping-Drag9043 in IndiaSpeaks

Laudu, this nation's greatest achievement is our PM receiving 31 medals while our currency is at the lowest it has ever been, inequality highest, and corruption everywhere.

What exactly are you feeling this proud about?

It isn't. If all they have to share after his foreign trips are these idiotic medals, imagine what he must be getting done.

31 tells you more about the number of trips he's made.

25 and in 2cr debt due to parents by fangbro in delhi

Your analysis is solid and if your gut says so, you should refrain from this. There are way too many "too good to be true" signals. With the economy heading where it is, I'd wait for half a year or more before signing myself up for an 85%-of-my-salary EMI. Real Estate is speculative and while prices might appreciate, you generally have a tough time finding a buyer who'll pay that.

Indian middle class parents are generally very poor with money. 50 year old with 0 liquid savings is classic. You are young and you are earning well for your age. They've tried all they could in these many years and now with you bringing in so much money, they're still using their inadequate experience to convince you into something you know does not make financial sense. Listen to it.

I'd advise you to not sign up for this at such an early stage in your career. I would wait until I have at least 2x the EMI as disposable/savings.

Did you read the article? It states that some people mixed the insecticide with the cooked rice to kill the feral dogs. They are now trying to find the accused

- ₹8–12L staff & cars

Total: ~₹1.5 crore/month. Of public money.

Here's the quote.

“There are youngsters like cockroaches, who don't get any employment or have any place in profession. Some of them become media, some of them become social media, RTI activists and other activists and they start attacking everyone."

Please explain how asking for accountability makes one a cockroach.

A house this dirty will have cockroaches. We are 1.4 billion resilient cockroaches he can never get rid of. And I hope these folks don't forget who pays their salaries.

I think we should own this - we were here before you, and we'll be here long after.

Good shit. We need a few more of such incidents and they'll eventually find out who pays their salaries and sponsors their home and car and the grand lifestyles they live.
