For any of us who are south Asian we need to help all of our dialects get on to Bluesky. At @equalitylabs.bsky.social we are doing specialized trainings with Dalit bahujan orgs and leaders and that is working. If we all pitched in we could get even more online in the next three months.

and they do. Interesting!
oooh.... same thing. Do they eat it there?
Weird fruit - orange coloured, like a large, mutated pineapple, on beach sand. Leaves and debris around it. Smaller, dried up version of the fruit on the side under the leaves.
Have no clue what fruit this is (or if it's even edible). It looks like a mutated pineapple. The plant it grows on is like a giant variant of a pineapple plant - this grows as large as a tree. It's very common on the Kerala coast.
long time no see... hope all good

This page from Shubnum Khan's 'How I Accidentally Became a Global Stock Photo and Other Strange and Wonderful Stories' has sat in my head for a while.

My classmate had the same arc. He met this European lady on FB while he was in Tvm and she was in Europe. Courted online + offline for some years. Then married.

ok... now I got what you meant. yup it seems like that.
probably because of the dark plate. the upper slice is just angled on the lower slice.
A Pan Bagnat sandwich on a dark blue plate that's on a wooden table. The sandwich is kept open with the upper half of the baguette on the side revealing the Salade Niçoise filling.

Same as previous image of hand holding a Schweppes can against a dark screen. Here the can is rotated for a different view.
apparently Coca Cola also sells alcohol in India
yup. Bharat was going east to Bangkok and so on. I think Kalinga was only domestic. Plus Deccan Airways and so on.
Should have mentioned that the first international Air India flight was in 1948 and in a couple of years you had other airlines flying to other cities too.
So I knew that Air India was the first Indian airline to go international when it flew Bombay - London (via Cairo and Geneva) but apparently within a short time of this first flight there were other private Indian airlines also flying international and connecting cities like Bangkok and Hongkong.
You'll find Shenoys and Pais even in Tellicherry and further south in Kozhikode and Ernakulam, folks living there for generations but yes the bulk are in Kasargod ig.

Got it. Thank you!
Black and white pic. Building and tree - pov from base of tree, building looming behind it. The tree is lit up, and some floors in the building are lit up. Night sky is black.

This becomes super nuance and definitely an artist's choice, and there's no one AR is better than another.
A general rule would be, since currently all screens are 16:9/16:10 then a media taking over the whole screen is immersive.
But a different ratio of say 4:3 is more tighter,
Thank you so much! This makes sense.
(serious question re Payal Kapadia's tweets on AWIAL's projection aspect ratio - total noob here)
What factors influence a movie director's choice of aspect ratio? How is one aspect ratio better (or not) from another?
Thank you!
folks - how do you bookmark a post here?
