@bigcatt09 Do you think coconut vendors or dairy farms donate these if no one buys them? They simply reduce production or procurement to prevent losses. Those wasting them are in fact processing a product that would otherwise go to landfill 🙂
@Mahiixz Possibly the dumbest take I’ve seen today. Marriage is the bedrock of family. If family isn’t the goal, there are plenty of other ways to couple up—no need to call every arrangement marriage.
What are you trying to say in the post? That a wrong for a wrong makes it right? The mob confronting parents, the guy who videotaped the kids making vulgar gestures, and you comparing one wrong with another to justify the first are all stupid. The youth who uttered slurs at a democratically elected leader is insulting the nation. You are stupid wearing an intellectual hat.
The golden rule of civic sense is to mind our own business. As long as people stay in their seats, keep their conversations at a reasonable volume, and don’t inconvenience others, what they eat, drink, or watch is none of our concern.
They shouldn’t have blocked the aisle or been excessively loud—that criticism is completely fair. But your argument about Indian snacks is irrelevant and unnecessarily targets their food and culture. VERY WRONG!!!
@YOSEMITE2088141@idlisambaru Calling your ancestors “dumb” isn’t questioning tradition, mate—it’s just arrogance wearing an intellectual hat. Question customs all you want; I do too. But “I don’t understand/agree with this, therefore everyone before me was stupid” isn’t critical thinking. It’s the opposite.
Dude, you’re arguing with the purpose of the vrata itself 😭 Varalakshmi Vratham is traditionally performed for the husband’s longevity and the family’s prosperity. What exactly is a widow supposed to pray for—her late husband’s extended warranty? She isn’t barred from praying to Lakshmi; the specific vrata simply has a different ritual context.
Put religion aside and think. I was asked to remove a hat that is neither metal nor thick enough to hide something. Technically, a hijab or burqa is no different.
She is asking some tough questions of the Aviation Ministry.
At the airport, I removed my Rudraksha, Devi pendant, Devi Kavach, Devi gudi, a linga, my jacket and shoes.
I stand by every security rule of this country.
No questions about security.
My only question is simple: Do the same rules apply equally to everyone?
Burqa can hide many things right??
@YOSEMITE2088141@idlisambaru The problem is the ideology behind it. Falling at someone’s feet is not slavery; for many, it is simply an act of respect. If you don’t want to do it, that’s completely fine—no one is forcing you. But don’t teach others that it is something it isn’t.
