Don't underestimate the power of 'following the process '.
In Pondicherry,hubby went to a HP petrol pump and asked for 'full tank'. The guy tried usual scam of stopping midway n starting again without bringing to 0. Hubby quietly filed a complaint online, got a call from HP 1/3
Luckily, Elders in my family didn't know this and lived a long life ( 100+) on - rice ganji twice a day+ dal+ seasonal veggies and tubers +seasonal fruits+ active lifestyle. Thank your genes too. No egg, no soya, no paneer....also no Diabetes, BP, heart disease. 🤞

Husband took my elderly neighbour uncle, to the polling booth. Uncle was given preference, meanwhile my hubby who could've easily voted alongwith him refused to do so. Dropped uncle home,went back n stood in Q for 45 mts n voted 🙇 🤦

Hubby remained calm throughout, explained patiently to callers, and was persistent. No one has the right to scam you of your hard earned money...it can be less or more.
Stand up, make yourself heard. 3/3
On the bus today, the girl sitting next to me asked where I get off. When I replied, last stop....she asked if she can talk to me about her God. I firmly said, No. She tried again saying, He has a spl msg for me. I said, Not Interested, in a louder tone and that shut her up. 1/2
in less than 3 hours, followed by a call from pump owner. Hubby explained he needs his Rs.425/ back n to transfer by UPI. Next day HP closed the docket saying problem resolved. Hubby reopened n got a call from area sales manager. Within 10 minutes, the money was credited. 2/3
Whilst we are at it, it'll do well to remember that
1. Their food was pesticide free
2. Ate less no.of times( no snacking)
3. ACTIVE during their waking hours
4. Slept well
5. Prayers and meditation kept them calm.
My question is- how would you deal with such a situation? I don't like being rude or angry, I actually feel sorry for such people. If I had the inclination, I'd have engaged in a debate. But I'm too tired these days 😅🥺2/2

Visited Goravanahalli Mahalakshmi temple, with my then 3+ yr old. As it was not that far from Bangalore we carried only snacks. By the time we finished darshan kid was super hungry and there were hardly any eateries around. 1/3
Numerous Karnataka temples offer Anna Prasada year-round, without seeking the limelight unlike some. It's tough to count them all, so I'm starting a list. Here are a few, please add more:
Dharmasthala Manjunatha
Kukke Subrahmanyam

Not foreseeing the growth boom that happened, extremely slow infra development, knee jerk reactions to problems, citizens voting for religion/caste than development, not checking how the land was, before buying those fancy villas/apartments, dumping garbage and choking drains 2/4
I understand the emotions of my fellow Bangaloreans who see their homes and vehicles inundated....but this was a disaster in the making since last couple of decades. Across parties, all politicians have let us down.
Pls get involved in your ward committees, understand 3/4
Hearing us talk in Konkani, a young vatu came up to us and asked us to partake of prasada oota, about which we had not known. I was in tears of gratitude while having one of the tastiest prasada I had. I still feel it was Vamana himself who directed us that day. 🙏🥺2/3
My classmate's mother had taken a vow on behalf of her son, to follow this tradition. So every year, he'd shave his thick moustache, buy a new saree, and get decked out in makeup, jewellery and flowers... gorgeous 😍
It was something he did whole heartedly and without shame 🙏🥰
The Devi Temple in Kottamkulakara in Kollam district in Kerala has a tradition called the Chamayavilakku festival.
This festival is celebrated by men who are dressed as women. The above picture is that of the man who won the first prize for the make up In the contest.

Ehh! I'm no movie buff, but I'd anyday watch a Nolan movie with Cillian Murphy in it, than a 'fantasy comedy about a doll character'. ..the doll which created much heartburn in young girls aspiring to her figure n style.
Ok guys! It's been a long day. I am muting this conversation now.
My views are given in multiple replies...I am not against NV, but against pitting 1 better than another. Both have worked well for different communities.
So, peace out.
Khao, peeyo, mauj karo,but in moderation.
But when we visited after a decade later, the surroundings had changed so much. 😔 Too commercialized and the charm of the place was lost. But Mahalakshmi still radiates her divine aura🙏3/3

Half the traffic woes of Bengaluru would be solved with good motorable roads. Not white topped, but roads with right amount of thickness, proper gradient, drainage, approach roads,designated parking spaces and no speed breakers.
With educational institutions opening, huge snarls

If you ask for full tank or say 20 litres, they fill up about 4or 5 litres n say pump has stopped, distract you in some way...then start without taking the counter to 0. Then add the 1st amount they showed you, to the present amount n ask you to pay.

often and have found most of the drivers very patient. Everyone wants to cut across buses, esp 2W. Autos n 2W parked at bus stops force buses to stop in the middle of the road for which the drivers get abused. At some point, it all becomes too much?

Today's lunch - Valval, bhindi, rice, panchmel dal, puli inji hidden next to the bhindi,beetroot happala, sandige(home-made).... followed by a bowl of home set curds, and banana fry for dessert.
Chana and yam ghashi, kovakkai, potato and tender cashew upkari, papadam, lemon rice, raw mango pickle, ripe nendran ambat, black chana usli, rice and dal, paal payasam, homemade curd....missed to keep the moru curry.
This is exactly the reason why dabba hoarders like me, wash and keep disposable boxes from restaurants.....to be used while sending across to neighbours and friends. No heartburn about non returned dabbas😁
I seriously don't know some people's obsession with lunch box, Tupperware boxes.
Last December a friend gave cakes in a box for Christmas. It's been almost a year, even now she reminds me and says no cake if box is not returned. What sort of blackmail is this. 😕
