There is an old world, gentlemanly charm to restaurants such as Taj Mahal Hotel or Kamat, especially in Hyderabad which the new age hype like Ishtaa or Rameshwaram can never replicate. They greet you properly, serve chilled water without a bottle upsell and guilt tripping you for asking for regular water. Waiters are warm and super fast with service. The best part? A Thali that still tastes incredible is just ₹140.

@sameermathad Kamat's tiffins are pure bliss, accompanied by a good seating system. I love that single seater along the window.

@MeShankara The attitude of the staff is something that comes with the way organisation is run, the new establishments don't focus on that.

@sameermathad Their operational expenditures are far less than the new restaurants. Most of these old establishments are in their own buildings that are fully paid off, decor barely needs any renovation & the nostalgia that brings in repeat patrons. Hence they are able to offer at the prices.

@sameermathad Fortunately after booking, we just had to wait for 2 days, delivered on time.

It took 25 days after booking for the LPG cylinder to be delivered. All this while the website kept showing "1-day ETA" for 20 of those days. If the govt claims there is no shortage, why are companies taking it so long for deliveries? Are they diverting domestic stock to the black market? Now I’m supposed to wait another 35 days before booking another.

This is incorrect. The shift started in 70s with economic incentives provided by the then AP govt with lands and subsidies. ANR was the first big hero to shift his base to hyderabad and started Annapurna Studios in 1976. Ramanaidu, Padmalaya studios in 1982/83 and NTR moved his base as well with his becoming the CM. Finally with the opening of Ramoji Film City in 1996, Hyderabad was well and truly its own world class movie powerhouse with no connection to Chennai.
Arun 🌞@Arun_vish

until 2008, almost all Telugu actors were in Chennai. Nagarjuna did his schooling in Chennai, even Allu Arjun did his schooling in Chennai. Hyderabad was no where in picture. It’s crazy of fast Hyderabad developed from 2009, and how fast Chennai got faded into history from almost the same time.

Food quality is 🤮! Bangalore has far better places that serve excellent food without all this hype and marketing. Bangalore was the first truly cosmopolitan city in the South when it came to food culture. We had a wide variety of cuisines and simple no-fuss establishments!

Apparently, that ₹4000cr budget for #Ramayana is just DNEG quoting their own retail price to themselves. It’s the billable market value (what they’d charge Marvel or Dune), not actual cash spent. They're accounting for the revenue they could have made from a Hollywood client. It’s a lousy way to manufacture hype by conflating market value with production cost. There's no way someone is spending ₹4000cr on a film when the highest ever Indian grossers like Dhurandhar haven't even touched the halfway mark of that budget. #RamayanaTeaser

This is extremely lazy AI for teaser of a 4000 cr film? I bet they will show all AI expenses that are impossible to audit - edits done on one old PC can be shown to be needing 10000 super computers. They call it cinema accounting. Such projects have been used for money laundering in past. Looks where soldiers are looking. Look at that strange weapon in Dhanurdhaari Ramji's hand. Look at that extremely artificial hill. Look at bottom right - what is that skeleton type shrub? Shadows of soldiers falling on giant hill! Dust is shown as if water color mixing. Did they make it all on mobile using @grok in 5 minutes? Colonial Ramayan of Ranbeef seems like a cover for something else.

@AishwaryakiRai That dancing video is not him, it’s not from his email. It’s some random person who looks like Kash and it’s been on the internet for a while. He was dancing because his wife had gone to maika lol.

When Kash Patel became FBI Director, we were not allowed to acknowledge his Indian roots. Now that his inbox is out, suddenly "all Indians should be ashamed". Btw, nothing found that he should be ashamed of. In a country where people in power are found molesting underaged kids, his biggest offense is dancing.

Well, the wokes at @ndtv won’t tell you that land where the airport is, originally belonged to Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple and was donated by the Travancore Royal Family with the condition that it MUST close for the deity's procession twice a year! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
NDTV@ndtv

📍Keralam | #InPics: Flight services from the international airport were suspended for about five hours on Thursday afternoon to make way for the holy 'Painkuni Arattu' of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple The airport has been pausing operations and rescheduling flights twice every year for decades to enable the bi-annual centuries-old ceremonial procession of the shrine to pass through the runway

Loved this shot in particular. The CGI isn’t anything to write home about, but many of the most impressive moments seem to come from the real, livemotion shots. The scale is there, but craft not so much i guess.

These two shots look very much inspired from Game of Throne, Watchers on the Wall/Hardhome. #Ramayana
