At #COMK we are a bunch of #weather enthusiasts but over the past few years we have put posts which have gone beyond weather updates. Our #Cauvery posts over time are one such example. Even before last #NortheastMonsoon ended we talked about potential #TNWaterCrisis Thread 1/7
On 18th Dec. 2018 we were worried about potential Ground water issues in #TamilNadu

Sub Par NEM2018 to put pressure on Groundwater Resources Continue reading at chennairains.com/sub-par-nem201… | #ChennaiRains (#COMK) Thread 2/7
On 10th Jan. 2019 through our post in #Tamil we raised genuine doubts about #SummerRains saving us this year based on historical rainfall data

On 1st Feb. 2019 we set the alarm bells about a potential #zerowaterday for #Chennai around June

Chennai Drinking Water Crisis – Our Own Zero Day
Continue reading at chennairains.com/chennai-water-… | ChennaiRains (#COMK) Thread 4/7
Subsequently on 16th Feb we made a post about how #Chennai may need a miracle going by how off season rains have happened over the past 70 years or so.

Off Season Rains in Chennai – A COMK Perspective

#The purpose of this thread is not "we said so" but just to reiterate both the #ChennaiWaterCrisis and #TNWaterCrisis did not suddenly stare at our face in the last month or two but the poor #NortheastMonsoon in 2018 set the stage with the final act being enacted now. Thread 6/7
But the seeds for this #TNWaterCrisis and #ChennaiWaterCrisis was sown when we started to destroy our water bodies. கல்லணை கட்டிய #தமிழ்நாடு #நீர்மேலாண்மை மறந்ததாலயே தற்போது #தவிக்கும்தமிழ்நாடு ஆகி உள்ளது. Thanks for the patient read #COMK Thread 7/7

Over the past few years, I have seen many friends and family diagnosed with diabetes. Its on the increase worldwide but it seems that people of African descent (including African Americans, Caribbean origin, etc) are particularly susceptible. Many of the things we consume...
Which we deem healthy are not. These so called “fruit drinks/juices” are laden with sugar. Don’t get me started on carbonated beverages. You must even be careful with refined white grains. I remember my late father telling me they only ate white rice a few times a year on...
Special occasions. Protect yourself and stick to moderate amounts of complex carbs: Amala, unripe plantains, Millet, sorghum, etc. Try to eat like your grandfather did. Oh and alchohol is basically sugar also. Wishing you good health.

One of the concerning trends in evangelical theology over the past few years:

Broadening and redefining orthodox Trinitarian theology that has been established since the 4th century.
While at the same time demanding strict rigidity in the application of secondary issues.
In other words, some evangelicals are literally trying to re-define the doctrine of God, while simultaneously creating tests of orthodoxy out of secondary issues.

Past few years @RahulGandhi has been saying that "Modi took away money from farmers and gave to Industrialists"

I did some research to find out the truth of his claims and the results are quite shocking!

Look at the wholesale prices of 8 Vegetables for the last 10 years (1/n)
6 out of 8 vegetable prices have crashed since 2014. Except for chillies, all vegetable are selling at lower than 2014 prices.

Onion, Potato, Garlic and Cabbage are at 10-year lowest prices.

Onion: ₹14.5 in 2014, now ₹6.7
Potato: ₹17.6 in 2014, now ₹6.5

(2/n)
The data is from the National Horticulture Board (NHB) website. nhb.gov.in/OnlineClient/M…

Now take a look at the retail prices, you'll find a similar (not same) pattern here.

It is not the same, largely because of the growing retail margins. (3/n)

One weird thing that has been lost to history is that the edgy, kitschy, weird white boy fascism we've been witnessing over the past few years is not a new development. And I'm not talking about its precursors in actual Nazi Germany.

I saw something like it 20 years ago.
In the mid to late 90's, mostly concentrated in the "zine scene" of the time, and around the fringes of industrial music, there was a very small sub-subculture of weird, "anti-PC" white guys who hated feminism, flirted with fashy aesthetics (but only as a joke u see), and-
-were "interested" in things like eugenics, serial killers, pedophiles, villains of history, etc. They claimed not to really "promote" this stuff. They had an affect of detached curiosity. If you ever raised questions, they would start whining about "political correctness".

One of the messages that changed my approach to life and my life itself was by Pastor Poju a few years ago and it was titled “How Your Thoughts About Others Affect Your Own Life.”

For the past few years, that teaching has shaped my attitude towards others and changed my life.
I was born into a church where the mantra was that for it to be well with you, it must be woeful for someone else - and this is reflective of African society where people believe that their inadequacies are the fault of someone else blocking them or taking away their shine.
I must have listened to that message over 100 times since then and internalised the lessons to a point where I now find it difficult to wish ill on anyone else, even when the person clearly manifests to me as an adversary.

A heart filled with hate can rarely make progress.

One of the many things about the English language that really sucks is that we only have one word "love" and it means many different things in different situations and to different people.
This leads to horrible things like "I love you but I'm not in love with you", or the related awkwardness of:
"I love you"
"Wait, you love me, or you're in love with me?"
"I, um... Check please"
I think this may be a factor in people being reluctant to say "I love you". Fear of confusion. I'm over that, but it took aging and the love of friends pulling me through the past few years to get here.
