A platform owned by those who endorses

- disruption of democracy (Capitol Hill Rioters release)
- destruction of multilateralism (WHO exit, Roll back COP21 commitments)
- defenestrate institutions (DOGE), subvert electoral process, foster hate

doesn't deserves my time & energy.

Ride-hailing platforms like Uber have revolutionized transportation, but recent observations raise questions about the transparency of their pricing algorithms.
In this post, I’ll dive into two surprising factors that might influence Uber fares: the device platform (Android vs. iOS) and battery percentage.

ബാല്യത്തിലെ മല നിരകൾ
കൗമാരത്തിൽ വെറും കുന്നുകളായി ചുരുങ്ങുന്നു
വാർദ്ധക്യത്തിൽ എത്തുമ്പോൾ അവ പർവ്വത ശിഖരങ്ങൾ ആയി മാറുന്നു.

In 1984 it was 1/100th of a second that came in between #PTUsha and an #Olympics medal.

In 2024 it's 100 gms of weight that came in between #phogat and an #Olympic2024 medal.

What a misfortune!

Teaming up Idli with Mutton may sound weird but tastes luscious.

Landing up late night in Palakkad with an empty stomach gives anyone a chance to devour this delicacy and experience home like hospitality from Shankarettan and crew.

📍Sree Vijayalakshmi Vilas, Palakkad.

In last couple of years, #ExitPoll creates more engagement in socialmedia than actual poll results.

No wonder why we get to see more Rummy ads!

This e-riksha driver from #Mangaluru takes modification to pro levels.

There's solar panels, CCTV, sporty looks all done on a normal electric riksha.

@anandmahindra must consider giving ABS and fog lamps to him.

- Solar power harvesting mechanism on roofs.
- Walkalator strips (20m each) are provided for atleast 15% of entire length.
Might be worth enough.

Dutch influence over Kerala is very underrated.

*This is a toilet @ Padmanabhapuram Palace & it's design inspired from traditional 'dutch squat toilet'.

*The Palace was built in 17th century when Dutch were a trade force.

* In Dutch loo is 'Kakhuis' in Malayalam it's 'Kakkus'.

This is how a wedding feast (madhuveya àhara) of 'Kalyana Karnataka' region looks like.

Such a mighty congregation of millets happening in a platter on an auspicious day is a rare sight for most of India.

📍Gulbarga, 2023.

Even 'Google Lens' would fail to tell you what the last two scripts are.

All I will tell you is -
One is Beary and the other one is Tulu. (Figure it out for yourself)

@rajbhagatt You can notice this same phenomenon in Talapady, Walayar, Aryankavu etc.

Interestingly, sale of lottery is high in border regions.

@pendown @NewIndianXpress It may trigger ecological & social stresses.

- Many erstwhile rubber plantations are not going to see replanting of trees which means creation of heat islands due to cleared land exposed to sun & ensuing erosion/landslide risks.
- Change of demographics from seller to buyer.

Kerala must try to adopt compact substations and distribution transformers.

The installations from @KSEBLtd is one of the major space grabber and eyesore along roads and urban centers in the state.

@manaskrshnakant @PIBHyderabad @airnews_hyd @DDNewsAndhra Reason why drug resistance is existing even after govt taking over entire expense of TB treatment itself proves this point.

Patients fails to cop up with reactions of existing drug regimes... it take a hit on their livelihood and they stop taking drugs..

Nobody monitors this.

@manaskrshnakant @PIBHyderabad @airnews_hyd @DDNewsAndhra The key to solving spread of disease due to drug resistance and immunity drop due to malnutrition (atleast in people with known exposure) is robust health extension services (in lines to existing programs that does maternal health management during pregnancy)...
