there is this Puneri Marathi joke that my bestie made. It requires you to be familiar with contemporary American authors to find it funny. In my friend circles, that is a very small intersection. So hoping this finds the right people.

did anyone else get dragged to watch बाईपण भारी देवा? @h_tejas @ishmael

yo मी रडले करणकी the film hit some sore spots re: family issues. But there was a reactionary under tone, the "मुंबईत मराठी संस्कृतीची किंमतच नाही राहिली", some typical Brahminical tropes of women empowerment = certain cultured ness + girl bossing. The movie starts only with a मुंजी. "तुम्ही कोल्हापुरी, पण मी मूळ ची मुंबईची आहे". The Kolhapuri is a weird trope of new money "गाववाले". महाराष्ट्र has so many internal and external flavours of bigotry.

Always blows my mind that the word for "mind blowing" is "", which is an Loan word that is basically the Arabic pronunciation of "". Yes, that plato.

Reminiscent of 2 in ...one a musicians' strike in the film industry in the 1940s/50s. , who was a film director/actor then, backed the strike and he was chased out of the film industry. He then chose to become a writer. The other was the famous textile mill strike of the 1980s, where mill owners waited out striking workers in and it eventually destroyed the industry in Maharashtra.

जा मेल्या, तुला कधीच बरकत नाय येनार (Go away bastard, you'll never have success in life) — you can often hear women screaming against their male opponents in fight.

When I search on Google typing in Devanagari script, it shows me results from Hindi. How do I force it to show me only results?
