Nah, this isn’t a typical “foreign CS grad” Maybe some kids you meet at a conference or a hackathon, but the average CS grad abroad is as clueless as the average Indian CS grad

Kerala going through come relatively cool conditions(a.k.a "winter") Minimum temperatures across the state: Punalur 15.5C Kochi Airport 18.6C Kottayam 18.7C Palakkad 19.7C(and just 29.7C max without rains) Heck, even Kochi island at 20.4C

Urban heat effect seen over both Bengaluru and Chennai. Minimum temperatures would have been 2-4C lower without this urban heat effect

As I say while man-made global warming is 100% true, the claim it will be only be a net negative to the environment is debatable. Polar bears are thriving with better prey .

Heck, I have eaten at many road side /street stalls in Tamilnadu(and even kerala) where you eat, then go to the shopkeeper and tell what you ate and he charges bill accordingly. I don’t get this india is a low trust society narrative at all

India is not a low trust society ffs. Things at random 1) ever noticed parents travelling with kids in crowded coaches? Some kindly person will say leave them with me and the parents will sight unseen do just that and then pick their kids up when their stop comes. This extends

I never had chappals or shoes ever stolen. Neither in 3AC , nor outside temples India is a high trust society as long as value of transaction is less than 10k, 10k-1L border zone, > 1L absolutely low trust society is my new formula

Time for India to have own national holiday season from Vijayadashami to Diwali 25 days for schools For corporates, 2 days for Dussera and 5 for Diwali Also should be aided by beginning financial year from April 1 to October 1, that is the final quarter of the calendar year

Hmmmmmm

Delhi's temperature charts vs Dallas(same latitude). Absence of a mountain range/ocean to it's north means there are wild temperature swings across much of Southern US outside July/Aug(when summer takes 100% control). OTOH, Indian weather is steadier, less temp swings

I won't advise anyone to board a moving train, but if you're doing it, atleast do it properly, you have to jog in the same direction of the train and then jump inside , not like this

Such a perfect journey happens 1 out of 5 times, rest 4 times either someone is watching reels or talking loudly or have their lights switched on.

Indians: We want jobs. Entrepreneur: Here’s an idea. Let me take the risk, build a business, and employ as many people as I can. (Some traction later) Indians: Bloody exploiters. We demand everything, right now. Entrepreneur: Okay. Shutting it down. Indians: See? Capitalism

Agree. And no doctor has to go through viva or spend months revising things they learnt in MBBS (but don't really use them) just to shift hospitals/jobs

Indian judiciary bans ticket booking platforms from hosting reviews. Gems of Indian judiciary👏

Good luck farming in -30C weather with -50C real feel index P.S: This map shows tomorrow’s temperatures across US in Fahrenheit. USA plains gets disproportionately colder than any other plains for it’s latitude due to constant polar blasts

As a weather tracker, it's always a delight to see places that are not in core snow zone see snow after so many years. Palampur is at 1200m, therefore needs a really strong WD in peak winter for snow to happen

Problem is this does not account for places with hot summers where temperatures cross 100C easily or cold places where temperatures go below 0F. Even within US, Phoenix sees 120F, Minneapolis -30F every year

Unlike Puri Jagannath Mandir, Padmanabhaswamy temple does accept Westerner/non-Indic Hindus as long as they possess a conversion certificate issued by ISKCON. All people got to do is go to ISKCON trivandrum and get a certificate.

Crazy how India was the only country that had below normal temperatures in 2025. I expect this year summer to be mild as well(by Indian standards). La Nina - El Nino transition brings excess summer rains thus cooling down temperatures.
