This is the third such instance in the recent past. Canned tomato on van Gogh, mashed potato on Monet, and now this. I tend to think none of the multi-million paintings are displayed as originals. I don't know anyone who has worked at

The combination of "Diwali" and "Lakshmi" makes sense! It's been so long since I attended a Lakshmi worship ritual that I've forgotten what gets chanted. The traditional music is monophonic. The track you linke

Can you share some examples of such music? I'm Indian and ex-Hindu. There isn't any music associated with this festival around my parts. I'm curious to know if people of other parts of India (or ethnic Indians in other parts

The bet might work in your favor. Lots of candiate drugs are discarded for reasons like... having harmful side-effects, being found useless, etc.

A Chinese defeating a foreigner (rather than another Chinese) might make for a better spectacle back home. I'm speculating. I don't know anything about Olympics or badminton tournaments.

I'm Indian, not any of the groups mentioned by him, and I too found him way too cringe-inducing. He came across too strongly as trying to push some agenda. I did not feel like sticking around long enough to find out what the agenda was

Let's say you apply for a job. They ask you for an address, and you give it to them. Most bosses may be cool people, but some of them tend to pry. If they get to see the street view of your house at the click of a button, they can esti

I hope it comes with the option of fuzzing out houses on demand. I believe Germany has this feature? Since law enforcement is so weak here, I don't want Google Maps to create a privacy nightmare.

Indians have other ecological problems on our hands. Unchecked pollution (air, water, soil), poorly designed cities, burning stubble, etc. On per-capita CO2/CH4, India is doing great.

You're a Kannadiga, right? Have you ever seen a harikathe performance that was not accompanied with a harmonium? While harikathe is not classical music of any kind, the instrument is solidly established as an accompanist instrument i

Not true at all. My next-door neighbour is a Carnatic teacher. I am subjected to the harmonium at odd hours. Just look on youtube for "carnatic harmonium" and you will find plenty of examples. The other European instruments that a

India is already doing it. Not at a rapid enough pace to meet all of the national demand, but at least my state (KA) has the lowest coal consumption and is still selling electricity to other states. https://en.wikipedia.org/
