@smugdekar Not sure if you’re ignoring it for the joke but he’s already made a part 2 as a streaming series https://t.co/ZUvWfbPNCz

@gauravsabnis Your point stands, but John Edwards?

This moment from the new Steve Martin documentary where he’s remembering John Candy…damn man.

I’m watching a 30 minute youtube video of two old polish people showing how to sculpt a traditional butter lamb, and tearing up for some reason as she gently places the cloves in and says “and now we give him eyes to see”

Rakesh runs a second hand book stall near Andheri in Mumbai. You can rent a book from him as low as 10 rupees. When asked if he makes enough, he said, "People earn so they can spend on something they want. I'm already surrounded by the one thing I always wanted".

@rmshnt27 @babusathishs Upper class in the skewed Indian context and MRTS and Metro are probably on an equal footing wrt status and clientele, just that one has looked worn down from day 1

[Mergatroid Skittle @absurdswagger]

@rmshnt27 @babusathishs Not sure if there’s some practical issue at consideration here also. Chennai metro rail is an autonomous body (I think) and permissions might be easier to get. Not sure if middle class differentiation applies here particularly as what we think is middle class is actually the..

[Mergatroid Skittle @absurdswagger]

@rmshnt27 @babusathishs So you might not even notice it's MRTS. Metro is much more glamourous and swankier to set scenes in, Master for e.g.

@rmshnt27 @babusathishs As it's been pointed out Mysskin's movies have MRTS - think Yuddham Sei heavily uses it, plot also revolves around the train itself. Paarthale Paravasam has a scene set in Thirumayilai station I think. Problem is texturally, MRTS is not very different from local electric train..

@rmshnt27 @udupendra @patnaikhoonmain @tintin1107 CR's admirably goofy battle cry used to be "The river should run red with our negs!"

I look at my mum’s old house on Google maps street view, the house where I grew up. It says ‘Image captured May 2009’. There is a light on in her bedroom. It is still her house, she is still alive, I am still visiting every few months on the train to Bodmin Parkway,

@navinrajaram Also most regular travellers take flights that are 60-90 minutes. W/A is meaningless for such short trips. Shaving off 30-60 minutes in queue time is way more useful.

[Mergatroid Skittle @absurdswagger]

@navinrajaram For them, a middle seat is better than having to wait for the checked in luggage show up.

[Mergatroid Skittle @absurdswagger]

@navinrajaram It’s price discrimination which helps get rid off the middle row seats sooner.

[Mergatroid Skittle @absurdswagger]

@navinrajaram There must also be a significant number who just want to check in irrespective and have a boarding pass ready - printed out to skip queuing at the checkin counter? These people will opt to checkin with the middle seat or upgrade if necessary.
