Why Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana Screening In LA Has Upset Fans In India

The buzz around Ramayana just got louder, and not entirely for the right reasons. As excitement builds for Ranbir Kapoor's look as Lord Rama, the makers made a surprising move. The first visuals were unveiled in Los Angeles. Not in India. Fans back home noticed, and they are not happy. A Grand Reveal... But Not At Home? Ranbir Kapoor, along with director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra, travelled to Los Angeles to present the first visuals of Ramayana to a select global audience. While the move signals the film's massive international ambitions, it has also left many Indian fans feeling sidelined. After all, this isn't just any story-it's Ramayana, an epic deeply woven into Indian culture. So when the first glimpse went to an audience miles away, reactions online were swift and sharp. Internet Reactions Reddit, in particular, saw a wave of reactions, with users questioning the strategy and expressing frustration. A user wrote, "How is promoting ...

Man Calls Ghee Podi Idli 'Death By Calories'. Foodies On Twitter Agree

Idli is one of the most popular breakfast delicacies in India, especially in the Southern region. Super light and extremely versatile, idli is rich in fibre and protein and also keeps you full for a longer period of time. Speaking of our love for idlis, how could we miss mentioning Bengaluru's ghee podi idli? Podi is a mixture of ground dry spices, which is commonly referred to as gunpowder or chutney powder. When idlis are topped with this podi or gunpowder along with ghee, it definitely makes for a drool-worthy indulgence. 
A Twitter user, identified as Ankit.Today, recently shared his dislike for this delicious meal. And, surprisingly many people agreed with him. Sharing an “unpopular opinion,” he wrote, “I cannot stand the drowning in ghee and podi idlis served in a lot of popular joints in Bangalore”. Further, the user stated two reasons why he dislikes ghee podi idli. Ankit said “death by calories” and “ghee overdose” turns him off. 
“Give me fresh, hot, soft idlis and a good chutney and I'm super happy,” he added.

Many users totally agreed with the tweet and expressed their dislike for the popular ghee podi idli. One of them said, “Same, I'm so over rameshwaram, never going there again.” 

“Agreed totally. That typical Rameswaram Cafe style is not Bengaluru at all. Feels like eating sand. I feel sorry when I see people lining up to eat that abomination,” another wrote.

A user tweeted, “Someone had to say it." 

“500 calories in a plate,” read a tweet. 

One of the Twitter users opined that “podi idli can be had occasionally,” but “ idli with chutney and sambar in separate bowls” is a daily fix. “Or a bowl of mini idlis dunked in piping hot vengayam sambar.”

What are your thoughts about the popular ghee podi idli?

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
