There's a person who dated my friend and said she cannot marry him because they are from different castes. Today, she is married to a man from her own caste and is sharing Arivu and Casteless Collective's Vice video. Mudile.

I also read that tweet about poor VFX in
#Thangalaan
but that is a boring view. It doesn't address the fact that the film is greatly layered. Buddhism, feminism, hero stones, land. Yet again, Ranjith shows us how exploration in India was built on the backs of the now oppressed.

One of my favourite ever trains to take is the Kanniyakumari express from Nagercoil to Chennai. It leaves at 5.20 p.m. & looks great all through dusk. Mountains and clouds kiss. The sky is yellow, orange & pink. There are tonnes of windmills. It's very nice during this time of yr

Chennai is great and all but is also terrible for someone who just wants to sit quietly in a public place without having to talk to someone else. The entire city wears a deserted look post 9 p.m. and it feels ridiculously unsafe. And no one's allowed to sit in beaches past 10 p.m

I don't know why. Over the years, I've watched random parts of the series on TV everytime it has played, but this unlocked something.
