Tail in hand; tale in mind #catsofmastodon

I've eaten 2 kilos of plum cake. In just the last two weeks. All by myself. Christmas season is here.

Friend from gym has changed his life around in the most delightful way. 2 yrs ago, our first meeting was him cribbing abt his software job in this small town. "Fixing small stuff for clients in Bangalore". He was angling to move to bang for better💲.
Today, he and his friends run a small factory. Employ 2 women, who were otherwise home-makers. An investment of just 2.5 lakhs-they now earn about 45-65k per month.Just month 3.
The product is so simple and everyday, it makes me wanna protect them 🕵️

Tried watching Avengers End Game in Tamil. Cuz I like to fuck around like that.

But damnit... Forgot how embarrassingly bad the movie really is. I can't get through one sequence without going ugh. Feel bad for kids who'll have this movie define their generation's memories.

So Bounce has arrived and arrived big in Manipal and Udupi. And people have already taken a liking for the two wheelers as it's much affordable. Two weeks later, auto drivers are on strike today. They're feeling the pinch.

One auto driver told me he regrets not having supported the cab drivers who wanted to protest when Zoom car came to town.

Almost all auto unions are BJP affiliated. Wonder what the BJP MLA will do...

Coastal Karnataka is as good as any place to become a world class tourist hub. Lack of imagination though, is quite a crippling thing. ಉಡುಪಿಯ ಕೋಡಿಬೆಂಗ್ರೆ ವರ್ಲ್ಡ್ ಕ್ಲಾಸ್ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿತಾಣ ಆಗ್ಬಹುದು, ನಮ್ಮ ರಾಜಕಾರಣಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಇದ್ದರೆ.

Udupi SI, head constable suspended for lapses in ‘moral policing’ case. Superb step by Nisha James, SP, Udupi. The only illegality was committed by Sunil and Rakesh; men who assaulted a group of friends just because they were of different religious communities. Hopefully this will put an end to the awful practice of police preaching to mix- faith couples and friend groups, when the Sanghi moral police report them as having committed a crime.

ಸರ್ವ ಜನಾಂಗದ ಶಾಂತಿಯ ತೋಟ (an orchard where all communities live in harmony)- Kuvempu on Karnataka.
Loving the civility of debates here.
Let Mastodon ( @Gargron ) also be that orchard. #hope #kannadamastodon

Since Mastodon is cat friendly, here is Kitty Perry saying hi

My gym in #Udupi, patronised mostly by just working class men (cuz it's the cheapest in town), has two curious entrants. The duo, both working women, work out along with the men. Barring one lech, other men, especially the young worker lads, have gotten used to these two. The two seek help from the younger lot without any qualms; they're all charm and smarts. And no, not salwar-kameez - T-Shirt and track pants. Small development at a gym, but a big development for a town. #india

I dig #dragonflies. And #insects in general.

ಇದು ಕೂಡ ನೋಡೇಬಿಡೋಣ. ಟ್ವಿಟರ್ ಅಥವಾ ಫೇಸ್ಬುಕ್ನ ತರಹ ವಿಚಿತ್ರ ಜಾತ್ರೆ ಆಗದಿದ್ದರೆ ಸಾಕು. ಮಾಸ್ಟಡಾನ್ ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಮುದಾಯ ಕಟ್ಟೋಣ. #ಕನ್ನಡ
