@nikhilnarayanan How is the heat reflection from the tiles during summer?

ഇടവം ഇങ്ങെത്തി. എന്താ മഴ!

@Sai_swaroopa @vee22n Most of their infra , electricity and telephone, is not planned for high temperatures

@vee22n The angle makes the 24 degrees there a tad higher than 24 degrees in India. I went out on a certain 34 degree day in London and almost fainted with dehydration. Never felt it in my 45 degree native.

Bruh... We set our ACs at 24 in peak summer. Do you even know what heat means??

@India_Progress Yes, but the abuse is same no. Can't derive conclusions based on only such angle.. especially on holy pilgrimages etc. very popular across castes. Money to spend is the factor

@Pparam2012 in UP even when BSP SP were doing what they were doing, there was always a very strong latent resistance and it took 1 yr for BJP to come to full majority.

@India_Progress Exactly the same principle as SP-BSP politics in UP or Marxists in bengal. Hindutva penetration is low, not hindu religious practices. Takes time to displace forces entrenched for 70 years especially if you need to poach the same folks who abuse today. Hard battle.

@Pparam2012 why do they never wake up like hindus in politics? DMK openly abuses. TVK is christian led. Where are they politically?

Land of the Ranas With Maharana Pratap's Jayanti a week away, doing a series of posts on Mewar, the region that birthed him, known for it's resistance to Muslim rulers. The land of the great Ranas, a legacy which he had inherited. Today I look at Mewar and it's history overall.

@bhatnaturally No Puzzle at all. Look at the condition and influence of mathas in Kerala and TN as opposed to KA.

How a state full of Hindu spirituality is also home for Dravidoids, cinema crazies, TASMAC addicts and conversion-obsessed evangelicals is a puzzle

@SirJambavan @indhavaainko For a demo of impact, visit Gangaikonda Cholapuram

@indhavaainko Temples should not allow those who don't believe in its gods. It is simple. Violating this allows people to walk into Madurai Meenakshi Temple and distribute the Bible.

This language must stop. There are temples that do not allow non-Hindus. And people must respect that and do not visit such temples. If a temple allows all religions, then why not? This kind of language creates divide and that’s the only reason why an alternate political view other than Dravidian ideology is unable to penetrate in TN!

@vee22n I remember the Siberian train journey in Chuk and Gek. Good read now 😁

A question When i was younger, Amma used to buy me 'Russian books' from book fairs and exhibitions. These were Russian folktales in English The OH hasn't heard of them Anyone here remember those books? Baba Yaga the witch, a quest of some sort...

@pattaazhy :) travel with the same shoe rather than another additional pair

Happened to me in France while going for an imp meeting It was first trip after covid .. the whole shoe just disintegrated Ended up buying an Extremely expensive shoe

90% of Your Health Problems will vanish with this routine - Strength training 3–4×/week - 10k steps or brisk walking daily - Nutrient-dense whole foods - Sleep & wake at the same time - Morning sunlight exposure - 2–3 L hydration - Mobility & stretching (5–10 mins) - Digital detox 1 hour before bed - 12–14 hour fasting window - Limit ultra-processed foods - Meditation & breath work

@pattaazhy @Sudarshan_Mlth Are the beds neat? Remember a visit to karunagappally hospital ward back in 2003. Still haunts me. Govt is a failure in consistent service, initial building splendor is transient

@Sudarshan_Mlth All mid tier hospitals are like this .. public or private Otherwise you have to go to premium super speciality

Recently saw two newly build Taluk Govt hospitals. One in Kundra and other Pathanapuram .. just saw it from outside It can beat any private super speciality hospital (by its looks atleast) A much needed initiative. Kudos to Kerala Govt for it. Is it common across Kerala ?

@pattaazhy What in the world, didn't even know there was rubber in tulunadu

If you don’t mind, What is the rates there ? Curious as some of my workers go to mangalore for rubber tapping when it’s off season here

@pattaazhy Typical kerala model this. Religious hatred packaged as health advice

People who are 75 today are from an era when non veg was rare. May be chicken once a month. If you want to understand health of current gen go to any hospital and stand in front of section specialising in life style disease

@CETMoorthy1 Thiruvaranvilai :)

“Then what is left to eat?” Everything your body actually needs just not the foods that keeps your glucose and insulin high all day. What you SHOULD eat (for stable glucose & metabolic health): 🔹 Protein (anchor every meal) Eggs, paneer, curd,soya chunks chicken,fish,sprouts,chana → slows glucose absorption, improves satiety 🔹 Vegetables (fill half your plate) Spinach,methi,cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber, tomato → fiber reduces glucose spikes 🔹 Healthy fats (don’t fear them) Ghee, butter, coconut, nuts & seeds → stabilizes energy, reduces insulin response 🔹 Smart carbs (controlled, not eliminated) Hand-pounded rice, millets (jowar, bajra), dal,legumes → keep portions small, never eat carbs alone 🔹 Fruits (whole, not juice) Eat after meals, not on empty stomach → fiber slows sugar absorption How to STRUCTURE your meals (this is the real game changer): Start with fiber (salad/vegetables) Add protein (non-negotiable) Then carbs (small portion) Add fats for stability Simple rule: 50% vegetables 25% protein 25% carbs What to STOP doing: ❌ Eating carbs alone (poha, bread, rice by itself) ❌ Liquid sugar (juices, packaged drinks) ❌ “Healthy” packaged foods (cereals, bars, flavoured yogurt) You don’t need fancy diets. You need better food structure. Control glucose spikes → control insulin → prevent NCDs. That’s the difference between eating “healthy”… and actually getting healthy.

@bhatnaturally This is exactly what caused it in the first place and needs to be called out

Near total silence on the TCS Nashik case on LinkedIn. My network of advertising & marketing folks are usually vocal on political issues on that platform speaking up for 'minorities'. Strategic 'ignore' has been activated now. Even if someone posts on the topic I could see comments like 'why are you posting such on LinkedIn?'

@nano_arun @me_ganesh14 True, but imho caste vote is very minimal even if the candidate is N. Vote is from cpm base

@Pparam2012 @me_ganesh14 No idea. But assuming "no one more of X caste supports Y party" would not be correct IMO.. there are candidates themselves, obviously there will be voters also

In Kerala, BJP has already pulled all possible Nair votes from Congress so no more shifts happening from their side. If BJP needs more then it should be from CPIM who has a lion share of Ezhava & SC voters. To get them on our side there's an absolute need for huge LDF loss. 1/4

@nano_arun @me_ganesh14 Is this reliable?

@pattaazhy Must be outsourced to some ad agency

@Pparam2012 Kollam yesterday… they made noise .. apart from that very lack lustre … also usual practice is they will personally give campaign material … this time they just threw in

In Trivandrum for next 3 days along entire kollam thiruvananthapuram stretch noticed saw Only BJP campaign vehicles and occasional CPM
