Piper treats any human being sitting down as her furniture even if it looks creepy and suggestive. Girl was like, hello human, this land is nice to run around on but there are no couches so you'll have to go. 😂😂
Ending yet another Sunday at #OurWawar with some campfire grilled protein.

Today's menu is grilled swordfish.
Spring has sprung and so have wild spring onions. Everything from the bulbs to the grass is edible. Planning to wash them off using the stream water and make kaandyaachya paatichi bhaaji. 😁 #JaiMaharashtra
Oh absolutely! These northeastern wild onions have a superb flavor that somehow manages to combine the flavors of onion, garlic, and chives!

What separates democratic fascists from other leaders is that even when in power, fascists keep whining and spreading paranoia as if they are in opposition and being persecuted. The more elections they win, the more shrill and violent they get. Because they have nothing but hate.
Even the fascist's idea of "pride" is tied to paranoia, victimhood, self-pity. Hindu pride, the way sanghis express it, is always from a place of resentment or petulance. Not genuine pride. Not positive pride. Always grievance based pride, like they are the underdogs. They aren't
Fascists are never the underdogs. Be it Hitler or Mussolini or CCCP or Trump or Sanghis, they are always the ones with first dibs on everything.

But they come to power by convincing the already powerful that they are persecuted.

There's no endgame to that strategy.

Today I'm picking up a childhood friend from Newark and taking him to the place of another childhood friend and we'll hang out together the next few days.

Our trio is special cos all 3 of us were boys interested in cooking. We'd spend soooo many hours in the kitchen making stuff
Not only did we cook for ourselves and parents stuff we liked (omelet, rotis, chicken, mutton, fish, misal, pizza, burgers etc), but every ganeshostav the 3 of us had a stall in the neighborhood Food Festival Night (Ruchipaalat 😁).

Made some tidy pocket money from it.
The first couple years, we had a bhel stall. By 14, each of us was handy with a knife. So thought, what's the actual work for bhel? Just chopping a lot of onion, tomato, chilies, coriander. The chutneys are super easy to make. Then it's just assembly.

We were TOO successful 😂

Recently learned about Maotai, one of China's premium liquors, made with sorghum. That's jowar!

Yo Marathi distillers, why don't you try making it? Jowar is our traditional staple after all. Imagine a hurda party that has jowar liquor too. 😁🤗🤤 @Brewkenstein ImageImage
Oooh, next time friends visit #OurWawar, I'm gonna do a hurda spread. We already roast corn, eggplant, chillies on the fire. Just need to source fresh sorghum. I've seen it in some farmers markets and a couple of trader Joe's.

This eggplant bhareet was so divine! I can still taste it!

Just throw the eggplant on the fire, rotating every couple of minutes with tongs, until a skewer can pass through easily. Then just mash with onion, tomato, chillies, salt, pepper.

Quick, easy, tasty, healthy. Image

This is a tweet posted purposely and cynically to "pwn liberals".

Whose natural first reaction will be "where is the tricolor".

Sanghis will respond this is a traditional dance "Dhwaj Naachavne" from Maharashtra that pre-dates Modi or Sangh and thus liberals are "hinduphobic". Image
That flag in that context (lezim etc) isn't automatically a Hindutva flag. But only people from Western Maharashtra will know that. The rest will ask where the Tiranga is. Pune-Nashik kids will tell you, it's against the Indian flag code to do this dance with a tricolor.
In childhood when we'd practice for this to be done in Ganesh visarjan possessions, at least one person would ask why we don't use the tricolor instead. And we were told the Indian flag cannot be pumped up and down like that in parades. Would be disrespectful to it.

Muqaddar ka Sikandar is arguably the most Bombay movie ever. And a sublime tragedy on par with anything Shakespeare wrote. Kader Khan's finest writing. But we don't really think of it as a Bombay movie. But it really really is. Sadly.
It's unfortunate that people think Kader Khan was just an actor (though he was a phenomenal actor). He was possibly the best writer in the history of the Hindi film industry. He wrote so many dialogs that have become everyday usage.
You look at how much writing the man did and you're like how the hell did he even get time to act given how much he wrote???

What exactly is the science behind how we can tell voices apart? How can I tell Rafi, Kishore, Mukesh apart instantly even if I haven't heard the song before? What exactly is the mechanism?
Thank you folks for the detailed and fascinating answers (from astrophysicists, neuroscientists, and also a legit Bollywood composer! 😇).

What I still don't fully understand is the instrumentation engineering of it in our brain. How exactly are we breaking down frequencies.
I get the WHY of it. Evolution.

I don't get the how.

Someone said it's like how we recognize faces. Yes, but the human eye's operations, I understand. How exactly the visual image data is collected and analyzed.

I'm still vague on the ear, beyond the basics.
