@pHequals7 ECE I guess? Kinda straddles the EECS category. Might be good considering current trends. But would still recommend going for best college which can provide most exposure.

The way mental health stonks go down before exams is a study in itself

Not an IIM grad but gonna be insufferable for a bit- most iim grads I hear talk v lovingly about campus and friends and Europe trips over prestige and stuff and it’s actually v adorable

life of an iim graduate - get into iim - make it your entire personality - mention iim in every conversation ever - die

This has to be one of the most honest father-son scenes in Bollywood. Almost like a core memory for me.

Farooq Sheikh was so brilliant in this scene..the pain of living apart from your parent and child is something else but so is the joy that truly loved you for who you were 💛 twitter.com/SimonMinter7_/…

@ayushisri16 They are setting up the Young Avengers. Possibly in phase 6 unless the kids start aging.
English
Why have kids suddenly become so central in the recent Marvel movies' stories?
Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Ant Man Quantumania. It's the same trope of a special kid with an Avenger and their sidekicks.

Pub quizzes are a lot like modern society.
The people in charge of affairs are okay with ignoring the frauds of rich people as long as "everyone is having a good time".
English
@oftheCrossways More than consumption, art is termed 'art' as long as the power to make it remains concentrated with the few who have historically had the means to do so. The instant democratization happens, it dilutes the 'value' of that art, if some people are to be believed.
English
-that content consumed by the 'masses' is somehow not 'real art'. Who gets to decide what is real art and what isn't? And why do we assume that Cannes/MET Gala are about art- they've always been about glamour!

English
to think of it: why do we assume film actors deserve more 'recognition' than influencers? do they necessarily do better work? no. Is it always more difficult to work in films than to build an audience on social media? no.
(imo) it comes from this enduring perception-
Tanushree Pandey@TanushreePande
What is Dolly Singh, Kusha Kapila, Beer Biceps's contribution to CINEMA? Why are they being taken to #CannesFilmFestival2023 & interviewed by @BrutIndia? Where are we headed with this absurdity? "Influencers" taking over real art, talent, and hard work in this country is SHAME!

@riachops Considering the impact on pop culture, even if you ignore how good a film it is, you should watch it.
English
not my boyfriend using the news of Anurag Kashyap's daughter getting engaged to persuade me to watch Gangs of Wasseypur???
English
I love how my dad saves numbers on his phone (he's a lawyer, who's surprisingly bad at remembering names)
It'll always be some obscure place they met/ interacted/ spoke about and full name (he uses the address column too!). But the real loved ones are "xx Friend" or "xx Bro" 🥰

@amlansarkr Ironic tweet, seeing how it keeps playing at traffic signals across Kolkata 😂
English
Bangalis and the way they don't know when or how to stop when it comes to Rabindrasangeet 🤦🏾♂️
English
@diisha1608 Makes sense. Food as status signalling sounds like dystopia but so true lol.
English
@wikikedia but inequality helps stuff like fine dining- if you have a small elite that is very interested in acquiring status symbols to differentiate itself- fine dines serve that purpose lol
English
@diisha1608 Yeah quite possible, they have much better income and lesser inequality. Wondering how much of this could also be simply cultural differences, as in adoption of fine dining lifestyle by the population.
English
@wikikedia foreign to LATAM? sure idk. I just know there's a lot of fine dines operating there. also they are obviously richer societies, smth we know but somehow don't realize living in the more prosperous islands of metros in India
English
@riachops @varungrover, and Biswa, for the balance between relatable middle class content and delivery and the high-concept scientific/sociopolitical scenarios along with detailed world building. Also Karunesh Talwar, for the delivery style. Bassi is also chill anecdote-style fun.

Who is a stand-up comic you'd bet on? Someone for whom you can pick any random video/show of theirs and it's guaranteed to be at least an above-average watch. No bad stuff at all.
