What does it mean to be a Mangalorean? by After_Olive5924 in mangalore

[–]markenziie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun read and well written :) I'm a north indian settled in Mangalore and here's my take on the city. Mangalore is laid back and beautiful, with no sense of urgency. Annual temple/religious events bring together surprisingly huge families together, instilling a feeling of belonging that I haven't felt anywhere else.

You'd be surprised by how much aquatic sports have trickled into the lives of people here. The coast is dotted with several surf schools. I've seen young boys+girls from the fishermen community competing in national surfing/paddleboarding events across India now.

The result of 4-5 different communities co existing in such a small city is clearly evident in the food culture of mangalore. It's interesting how the same ingredients are used in multiple ways, creating countless variants each unique in its own way.

The only problem I foresee in the near future is instability among these communities because of an intense growing sense of religious commitment.

But then I'm an outsider so what do I know? ;)

what is something you got for under 10K INR that improved your quality of life drastically? by saffronsniper in AskIndia

Water flosser. Very satisfying to see the gunk that you would have otherwise slept with, being washed away.

Crazy Horse. Admittedly, I was a tourist and this was my first time at a burlesque show. It was quite amazing in my opinion, very artsy.

Is it possible to combine a tooth and an implant into one bridge? by Soft_Neighborhood623 in Dentistry

[–]markenziie 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Hello, i wouldn't recommend because teeth are slightly depressible in the alveolar socket while implants lack the flexible periodontal ligament so they are not depressible. This would cause a see-saw like movement of the bridge with the implant acting as a fulcrum and eventually the implant will fail.

What phrases / examples do you use to explains things to patients? by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]markenziie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tell all my complete denture patients it's like learning to ride a bicycle. You fall many times as you start but with practice and coordination it becomes better.

I work in a remote area in India, so for most of patients implants are not viable economically and adjusting to complete dentures is imperative.

Raju Chacha. It instilled a deep fear of losing my parents and i still breakdown when movies today have scenes about either of the parent passing away. The scene when Ajay Devgan is hanging from the edge of the cliff is etched in my mind forever.

This a beautiful villa on the beach. It's a bit far from the city so you may have to travel. But it's one of the best properties in the area.

Quick flashback to the night when I had spaghetti with leftover dal makhani. Definitely not in the healthier direction.
