Bros, y’all ever feel lonely and want companionship but you don’t want to go through the effort? yeah.
Anyways did you know The Eiffel Tower can actually grow taller during the summer? Due to the heat causing the iron structure to expand, the tower can increase in height by up to 15 centimeters during warm weather!
Relationship and companionship are messy…; you see that annual divorce statistics ? Add in the feminism and the far-left that gone too left, it is a blow.
When you hit certain age, getting to know a strangers gotten really tough. Unless you are the type that can make friends everywhere you go.
Is kurma curry? 🤔
Asking because Max Fosh think it is, but I disagree.
Depends on how hard you want to fight it. Back in India they’ll argue to begin with it refers to a specific type of dish. But in a non-indian English esp in gwailoland, anything vaguely thick stew and south asian is seen as “curry”. So if you rajin you can pick a fight along the lines of cultural appropriation kot - simply2 say, dasar org putih etc etc
I mean even kari is not quite curry. Japanese curry uses applesauce. That said, not having curry powder/leaves and calling it curry still is quite tone-deaf
I read that Japanese Curry was brought from British India, was meant to feed the Japanese Navy but somehow popularised amongst the population. Kinda like Korea’s Budaejjigae (army stew)
Regarding curry powder, it’s mostly likely a blend that resembles garam masala and what not. And having said that not all curry will call for specific flavour profile.
India is a huge country with very unique cuisines, if I had to guess locals probably wouldn’t refer to their unique dishes as curry and will just call it by their name.

Yeah, so when I read their complaints about it, even the British Indians, i keep that in mind, because there’s another conversation that’s actually happening that I’m really just an observer (it’s essentially an economic and cultural preservation argument). But outside that, language IS flexible - however much I still sideeye it, Malay CKT is berkuah and Sino-Malay use of jelak instead of muak fits their respective contexts. In America an entree is the main dish but to the French that is so silly because it obviously means a starter course.
I suppose the inciting incident here (calling kurma a curry) depends very much on what you reckon would be the likely result: perpetuated by a global cultural majority (gwailo anglophones) who simply say it’s curry, it might lead to other ppl also making the same mistake, frustrating the ppl who originated the cuisine as well as ppl who’d like their Google search to not be corrupted further. If you want to take the power differential reading. That’s the only angle to me that answers why you’d feel off about it. If it’s just some rando saying a thing that’ll not be popularized by other ignorant ppl, and it’s just going to stay a silly English thing, then let it beeee
A curry by the name of Korma exists in Pakistan and India, and if you search korma they all then define it as a type of curry so yeah, it counts as curry. The original tamil word karil just means sauce from the dish (that you put on rice). Trying to define curry is about as futile as defining gulai in malay imho. Like everyone who are only familiar with rendang tok style frothing at the mouth at rendang padang style made by western tv shows that one time. It’s a technique, not a specific recipe.
Though by that definition dry curries aren’t, but they are understood as curry too now.

So yesterday wife and I took our 3 year old to the park, and we took turns running while one of us stayed with her so she can cycle. Then later we were all walking back when my daughter exclaimed loudly “DADDY WHY IS THAT MUMMY BUT WEARING PANTS PROPERLY, CAN SEE HER BUTT BUTT, EVERYBODY CAN SEE HER BUTT BUTT!” At first I thought my wife has a wardrobe malfunction, so someone else did. But my toddler was pointing at a woman wearing nude body hugging yoga pants so yeah… From a certain angle and in the view of my unfiltered 3 year old daughter, it’s as if her ass was out there for all to see! We quickly walked away (thankfully the woman didn’t hear) while laughing uncontrollably. Later the woman did pass us by but I saw just in time and distracted my toddler so that she wouldn’t decide to ask again…! XD
Hahaha! Toddler can be so unfiltered it’s always funny when they do that 😂
Reminds me of the black kid imitating her mum getting diu by the dad asking mum what them noises were 🤣

backstory: i was in southern africa for work, and collected a couple of fallen feathers sebagai kenangan. anyway this last few days, i finally turned one of them into a quill pen, and i sketched my cat. oh! the fountain pen ink is a malaysia special series, if you’re into that sort of thing. ok, sekian.
Wow, that’s a really nice ink, i really like how glossy it is and the purp
I’m into it! Where to get the ink?
Coincidentally yesterday I unearthed my old calligraphy tools to give to my niece. My ink, my nibs, my old practice sheets… oh man brings back such nostalgia
I got link to their website in my post! Pen Gallery is also on Shopee, and if you rajin their shop is at SS2. There are three more Malaysia inks they did with Diamine Inks, I haven’t bought the newest one (Ungu Senja) but the others I did cos I can’t resist a good gimmick. Jalur Gemilang is like Manggis, but it’s deep blue with red-purple sheen. Kopi O Kaw is a nice brown that legit smells like coffee.
If u want to restock new calligraphy stuff also can I think… meracun mode
Pls don’t racun! I’ve barely used them since my wedding and I now have 1.5 kids lol. I do miss it though, so therapeutic. I will allow myself to be racuned once kids get big enough that I can safely have ink pots open without having to worry toddlers are gonna toddle and spill them all over…
Those inks you mention even just from the names are so enticing. Manggis for a purple… hngh
