Of course it was all about the food like every good festival should be .+#Sankranthi2024 So for the yellu Bella, dry coconuts, til, jaggery, peanuts , hurgadle were procured in large quantities and evenings were spent cutting them into small pieces using arecanut crackers by however was around . Some days I escaped saying I have to "study", LOL. This seemed never ending +#Sankranthi2024

1. Driver's License

Driver's license.
Get both two-wheeler and four-wheeler at LL at once. A gap of a month is needed for a driver's license at least after LL. LL is valid for six months, so DL before that anytime. Driving classes mandatory for traffic sense.#happyAdulting

“Once upon a time” when there was nothing beyond Silk Board till an apartment came up . Folks were scared to cross the Silk Board signal even back then . The bus stop right outside was called “apartment”for several years #Bengaluru #trivia @peakbengaluru Once upon a time , there was only one double road in Bengaluru and KH road is still called that . #bengaluru #trivia

Everyone is Running

The theoretical runner
This runner is very well-versed in all the good things about running. Say the benefits, running postures, how to begin and gradually increase distance/reduce time, equipment needed etc
1. This runner hasn’t run more than a week, and a total of 3 miles all his/her life. He/she even did a course to build expertise.

Based on the recommendation from @amuldotexe that a lot of folks like him, don't prefer to read long articles, but read threads, I tried to convert the article "101 Darshini's " to a Twitter thread. Let's see how this goes Darshini 101

“ Kaapi Aayta saar ? Thindi* ? Aaytu ivagthane, nimdu ?”
The word “Darshini” became popular sometime in the early 90’s when Upahara Darshini (UD) started on DVG road. Till then most of these “stand and eat” places went by standard names
