It started with biryani. Memorial Day weekend. And one question that kept coming up. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/let-me-call-my…

A friend came over looking tired in the way that has nothing to do with sleep. Pappettan was listening. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/pappettan-says…

VFS Global processes visas for 69 governments. This week, an 11-country investigation found biometric data on unencrypted discs, records kept beyond legal limits, and appointment slots being black-marketed. The data failures are serious. The accountability gap is the real story.

Disliking something is perfectly fine. Not trying to understand why it was made is a different thing entirely. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/art-is-not-a-d…

Researchers trained an AI to grade coconuts by the sound they make when tapped. 97% accuracy in lab conditions. I’ve watched people do this my whole life in grocery stores. They look very confident.

My friend wanted to know if he should buy a desktop or a laptop. He wanted to focus better, work more, stop being lazy. Pappettan had a different question. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/before-you-buy…

A friend’s daughter won third prize at a science exhibition. She had one condition. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/third-prize-no…

Watched Drishyam 3 last night. A few people walked out mid-first-half, came back, and spent the interval loudly confused about the plot. Drishyam. A thriller. Next time, hold the bladder or watch it at home.

Bee swarm attacks eight hikers on Camelback Tuesday. Trails shut, then reopened with a sign. The sign says watch out for bees.

@ihsan21792 1. Where is all this leading to? Is this mother of all universes? Kgf-Salaar-Dragon? 2. Neel is sitting many things but not ending. Where is kgf3 and salaar 2? Looking at the scale and pace, dragon might not unfold in one movie!

#Dragon looks really impressive 👀 Even though it feels similar to KGF and Salaar, the presentation was still intriguing. The trailer felt so packed that it’s surprising the film is still a year away.

A stranger at a Costco pump asked me for a dollar. I wasn’t sure what to make of her story. I swiped anyway. My son was watching from the passenger seat. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/one-dollar/

@Datassential says Kerala is the cuisine to know for 2026. 39% of Americans want to try it. That tracks. What no trends report can capture is this: it’s not exotic. Not fusion. Just food that has always been exactly itself.

86°F in Phoenix today and people are calling it a cool spell. That’s not a cool spell. That’s just the last warning before the oven turns on. Mid-90s by the weekend. Triple digits aren’t far behind. Prepare accordingly.

Nobody gave him the territory. He built it himself. Quietly. Without asking. Without announcing. Pappettan had a question for him. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/pappettan-on-t…

@appadappajappa Agree

Truly one of the best books you can read about China in recent times. Stunning read with great political and economic analysis 💯✨

Most Phoenix hikes give you rock and ridge. Butcher Jones gives you water. In Arizona, that is its own kind of strenuous. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/the-trail-that…

I did not read the full trail description. I just checked the elevation. 7.4 miles later, I had learned two things. New post on Nona’s Pensieve. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/the-detour-was…

@rkartha @Rangith Darn! I fell for it.

@Rangith Che k that thread. AI generated image for engagement farming. Can't trust anything now :(

Please ask your government to increase the minimum wage. It’s so inconsiderate and inhumane to pay them such low wage.

@ihsan21792 And the anchor didn’t get the joke!!!! Jithu is covering his face to control laughter

#Drishyam3 was shot in such a way that most of the crew members were unaware of the film’s climax to avoid spoilers❗ Mohanlal also joked that they even considered removing the climax altogether to prevent leaks 😂

I am not someone who calls people often. But I think about them all the time. New post on Nona’s Pensieve. 👉 nonaspensieve.com/the-warmth-i-a…
