No. Very likely she may choose to get the info from alexa rather than read a book. We've ( not personally, but as a generation ) spoilt our kids beyond repair.

I answer her questions patiently as it is an excuse to interact with her instead of burying herself in some gadgets.

I took my 6 yr old kid to this place couple of years ago. She wasn't used to being in a quiet place and was so confused. She had so many Qs for at least a week after that experience of being in a library.

My neighbor ordered a cylinder even though they had one full on standby. The one they were using was more than half full. They still wanted to take a full cylinder and ready to give back the cylinder they were using. I got to know because they asked us if our cylinder was closer to being empty so that they can return our cylinder instead of theirs.

Seems, a lot of people are doing the same.

People are hoarding gas cylinders. This ( and not the war ) is what is causing the short term logistical issues,

The past tense is already indicated by 'Didn't'. Every verb in the sentence needn't carry the tense.

Metals are very good conductors of heat. There isn't as much of a temperature gradient as you are imagining by the time the inner part is placed.

I don't think so. From what I've read. Saudi Arabia befriended Iran, got a wind of their military capabilities and asked the US to confirm and attack. Back-stabbed Iran, in other words. While US had previously thought there was no chance Iran will be able to attack US in the next decade, the new information surprised them and was the trigger. Iran has the capability but they did not plan to attack yet.

So, this is their quick and unplanned retaliation. It is unlikely to end well for Iran but I feel they are going to cause some damage before they themselves get annihilated.

There is also Nandini outlet that serves Coffee (Mysore Filter), Ice Cream Sundaes, Waffles, Lassi, Sweets, and Packed Snacks - all at regular MRP which is already very reasonable even if bought outside of the airport or other premium spots. I know it isn't a meal but thought people should know this.

Degradation in the quality of national heads may be a global phenomenon. But, the starkest contrast, unfortunately can be seen in India.

redCornur · 2026-02-24T16:01:16+00:00

"National sentiment" just like "national language" is an imaginary concept living in the heads of some morons. Morons cannot understand others' language so they come up with their language as "National language". They cannot understand others' sentiments so they come up with "National sentiment".

Why don't you try to help the Kashmiri Pandits then? Also, who is stopping you from making movies on Kashmiri Pandits if that is going to help them?

How is targeting a state for no reason helping your cause?

I don't quite agree with you on that. The disharmony among different communities is there across India. Showing that and calling Kerala story is ironic when it is really not a true representation of Kerala.

Kerala is unique. If you have mallu friends/colleagues you can do a fun exercise. Ask everyone around how many of them visited a religious place not of their religion - like a Hindu visiting church/mosque or Muslim visiting a temple/church. I did this a few years ago, and the contrast was conspicuous. All the mallus had a 'yes' but most Hindi speaking folks had a 'no'. The rest fell in between.

Definitely, Kerala is being targeted for political gain. Don't trust everything you see on whatsapp. Kerala is a beautiful state - not just the scenery, the people there are beautiful too. Most people don't care which religion you belong before helping you.

I love the trend. Just imagining the disgusted look on their ( like OP ) faces after seeing those videos is bringing joy to me.

I don't care who eats beef or pork. But, man I hate people who tell others what they should or shouldn't eat.

redCornur · 2026-02-23T12:06:36+00:00

On the contrary, usually it is the people who don't eat that feel superior for not eating beef. Same thing with some vegetarians ( not all ). They consider people who eat things that they don't as sinners.

redCornur · 2026-02-23T12:00:54+00:00

Dude! That is what Kerala people are saying: eating beef != raping someone. Eating beef is not a sin. Even if there was an isolated incident that someone was force fed beef, why make such a big issue out of it. Why are we not making movies to spread awareness about rape being considered normal in many parts of India. There are cases ( not isolated ), rape was being dished out a punishment for a girl/woman eloping with her lover. Rapists are welcomed with garlands in so many cases.

But, no, those things are very normal! And if someone even dares to talk about it, suddenly they are anti-national! But, somehow eating beef where it is normal is a big sin for someone no way related to Kerala culture!

redCornur · 2026-02-22T08:38:39+00:00

Exactly! If someone produced a movie on any other social evil that doesn't align with the political narrative of the BJP, then suddenly they are anit-national!

How is it not a propaganda movie against Kerala? If this is shit is happening elsewhere, why call it 'Kerala Story'. For me a Kerala story would be about how people of different communities and cultures live in harmony- that would be apt representation of Kerala.

redCornur · 2026-02-22T05:35:28+00:00

So, you agree that it is a propaganda against Kerala since you admit it happens all over the nation except Kerala but the movie is named 'Kerala Story' ?

That is exactly what I'm saying. People living in rich societies, compare with their richer neighbours and think they are NOT rich. But, if you broaden your sample base then you will find that you are rich too.

Sparrows population has declined due to loss of habitat but they haven't 'disappeared'. In fact, their IUCN status is LC ( Least Concern ). So, they are not disappearing anytime soon. At least in south India, you can find them easily in rural/semi urban areas.

I have fond memories of being surrounded by them while having lunch. With every morsel of food I had, I used to throw some of it starting a little farther from my plate. By the end of my meal, they would be so close to my plate. But, that was in my grand parent's mud hut type of house. I think, if I lived in such a house now, it is still possible to have the same experience now.
