I'm having such an issue w honorifics rn 😭😭 my (distant) cousin I refer to as "older sister" because when I was born shes was a teenager and it's weird to call a 16yr old "aunt" (but technically thats what she is). Anyway, she got married recently, and I automatically deigned to call HIM "uncle" because they're in their 30s now. But now she's "older sister" and he's "uncle" ??? 😭 Pls help

I also have another distant cousin that's an "older sister" but should be an aunt- and she's dating a guy that I call "older brother" even though they're similar ages to the former couple, but I physically could not call him "uncle" because the first (and only) time I met him was at a wedding and he was so goofy and silly and spent the entire time playing w us kids 😭😭 like thats older brother behaviour sorry (also he doesnt even look that old...)

BUT NOW I FEEL BAD BC THE ONLY ONE WITH AN OLDER HONORIFIC IS THE UNCLE THAT MARRIED IN 😭😭😭

Anyway this whole issue matters so much because I need to text the older brother boyfriend guy. The big problem is, he doesn't speak our language as he's from a different place. And now I can't tell if I should call him by the honorific of a language he doesn't know? Or just call him by his name or not refer to him at all which sounds awful to me.

Maybe this is why my family is so intent on keeping marriages within the community I wouldn't be having an issue 😭

So uhh yesterday I had a debate with one of my friends. We were talking about the exit polls and the elections. He's a bjp supporter, I am Congress supporter. I said that to the common man, it doesn't matter which party win, we're still gonna suffer cuz both parties are corrupt. He started saying that BJP isn't corrupt and it's doing so much good for our country. I called bs on this. Brought up Manipur, agniveer, unemployment in UP and MaHa and how the industries are being shifted to gujrat, how poverty increased, the farmer's protests, Kerala MLA's kid, Ramkrishna cafe attack, mujra and mangalsutra too. He didn't respond to any of these, said I've been fooled by the media, that the opposition is brainwashing me. He tried mansplaining too, saying how he wants to help me get better and be educated cuz I'm uneducated rn. How he wants me to be humbled. I also brought up hindutva, how I am deeply terrified of having to leave my country if hindu rashtra is established cuz I am a minority religion. He said I should be grateful that I get privileges (minority religions don't get privileges, castes do btw). He also stated that bjp is doing good for Indian brotherhood and oneness. The irony.

Just thought I'd share this here lmao. Avg bjp antics

[timetravellingkitty]

apologies if this is presumptuous but do you know any resources on caste/casteism in Christian communities? Especially in South like Kerala and Tamil Nadu but also generally

not much rn I have this article and this paper but I think they're fine. if anyone has more do feel free to add

edit: I did also find this if it helps

Mumbai Police

Ok, this is going to be a quick and short one. My original intention was to do an appreciation post for Ardhanaari (2012). However, due to the release of Deva (which many have guessed to be a remake of 2013 Malayalam movie Mumbai Police, based on certain replica shots found in the trailer) I thought I should post about it instead. Update: I just learned that the main character in Deva is not presented as queer. I’ll make the post about Ardhanaari next month and Moothon the month after, inshallah.

Indian Queer Media: Little Hearts | Kaathal the Core | Gaami

Mumbai Police is available for streaming on Hotstar.

This one is a thriller with non-linear storytelling and multiple layers of twists and turns. So basic premise is of an amnesiac cop trying to find himself while trying to figure out who killed his buddy and why.

(CW: heterosexism; PSA: Hema Committee Report)

tagging: @starryalpacasstuff

Spoilers Ahead

Our main character Anthony Moses (played by Prithviraj) is a rascal or flawed hero – one who is super macho, easily resorts to violence but is endearing in his own way and is truly loyal to those close to him. This is a tried and tested, typical hero that is pretty much the staple of Indian movies that delve into some social or political issue. This archetypical portrayal may appear lazy, but it helps to easily build and establish the main character, so that the movies can move on to discuss what interests it - be it caste, feudalism and the rights of forest dwellers like in Kanthara, or a myriad of issues in many social movies from Tamil Nadu and many classics from Bollywood.

The seemingly mentor like superior and Anthony’s brother-in-law, Farhan (played by Rahman), is the second most important character. It is his machinations that drive the plot as we see it.

In three-wise-monkeys style, the third in the chaotic trio dubbed “Mumbai Police” (they all served Q1 in Mumbai before getting posted to Kochi [in Kerala, not be confused with Kochi in Japan]) is the loosu paiyan, silly and childish, the one who carries his heart on his sleeves, Aryan. Jayasurya (who played Aryan) and Prithviraj have several movies together with really interesting dynamics and underrated chemistry, probably spicier than Prithviraj’s combination with Prabhu Deva in Urumi or with Prabhas in Salaar.

Rascal hero carries some burden and its through his vulnerability and pain that the movie focuses on the issues it tackles. For Anthony, it his forgotten past and uncertain future. As his past is slowly revealed to us, we learn of his good-for-nothing father, a life he had to build with very little support, of his rowdy ways, his sexual orientation and associated vulnerabilities, helplessness, loss of innocence and guilt that would haunt him forever.

“Mumbai Police” bond over a hasty, hot-headed decision that drives Aryan into bit of a soup. Farhan employs Anthony’s rowdy ways to rescue Aryan. Aryan and Anthony grow really close (their theme and its variations marking various phases in their relationship is just amazing). Aryan end up winning a Gallantry award for taking down Maoists (a hot topic in 2013 with the Kerala Thunderbolts coming into existence and making their presence known) - an act Anthony committed but easily relinquished credit in hopes of coming in handy to appease Aryan’s ever-demanding dad.

Anthony is punished for his rowdy ways as he gets transferred out of Kochi. Friendship-starved Aryan is upset. To mourn Anthony’s impending departure, he visits Anthony in his flat. He is furious upon learning that Anthony has parts of his life – his boyfriend and his androphilia in general – hidden away (while Aryan had been an open-book). He lashes out and threatens Anthony in a manner that is very potent and debilitating in the age of section 377. In a tragedy of Romeo and Juliet or Layla and Majnun proportions or Kanchanamala and Moideen proportions, Anthony kills Aryan and misleads the investigation, only to later learn from Aryan’s to-be-betrothed that Aryan’s rage was short-lived, he meant not harm and instead yearned to be closer to Anthony and was planning to forgo the Gallantry award in hopes of retaining Anthony in Kochi.

Among other issues such as police hooliganism and misuse of power, compulsory heterosexuality is challenged through very subtle yet hard-hitting moments with Aryan detailing his success as a flirt and Farhan joining in the conversation while Anthony is merely listening and does not feel comfortable speaking about his boyfriend. While the boyfriend knows of Anthony’s sister, Annie herself has no idea about her brother’s boyfriend.

The movie also challenges the ultra-macho personas of rascal heroes and calls attention to the societal evils (unsupported childhood and heterosexism in this case) that force them to act out in ways that may run contrary to their core beliefs and better judgement. Rascal Anthony and amnesiac Anothny feel like two different people. On a lighter note, amnesiac Anothny openly checks out Farhan before he learns that he is married to his sister. He feels less burdened by expectations until he makes sense of his pre-amnesia self. Afterwards, he is overridden by guilt and helplessness.

Since the screen-play writers decided on the motive of the crime after establishing the crime and those involved, they could easily introduce the androphilic hero to a largely heterosexist audience with relative ease and thus create an opportunity for the exploration of queer personhood in the context of a hostile state, judgmental and social-cost-extracting public and the common place existence of lives that are invisible in plain sight.

-

Mentioning movies that goes deeper into other marginalized folk discussed in the movie:

Kammatti Paadam (2016) for an honest exploration of lives of folk like Roy, the gangster.

Pada (2022) and Raavanan (2010) for a deeper look at issue of adivasi people’s rights and struggles.

Piravi (1989) and Jai Bhim (2021) - Police brutality

In India, experts said symptoms attributed to long Covid such as fatigue and concentration issues may overlap with common paediatric conditions like stress, anaemia, or viral syndromes, leading to underreporting

Children experience weakened immunity and bacterial infections after suffering from long Covid-19 syndrome, a study published in the medical journal Nature has revealed.

Persistent fatigue was the most common symptom in children with long Covid syndrome, while the majority of children often complained about anxiety.

The study conducted in Budapest, Hungary, investigated children affected by long Covid. The researchers found significant differences in their immune function, which they believe were caused by the Covid-19 infection.

“Neutrophil dysfunction in children with Long Covid syndrome (LCS) may be part of the disease pathogenesis or a predisposing factor," concluded the authors of the study published on November 27.

The researchers focused on a type of white blood cell called neutrophils, which plays a crucial role in combating infections, particularly bacterial ones. They discovered that children with long Covid had neutrophils that were functionally impaired.

“For instance, their ability to attack and swallow harmful bacteria such as Staphylococcus was impaired. This might correlate with the rise of multiple bacterial infections that were reported in Western nations among children after the onset of the pandemic," explained Rajeev Jayadevan, chairman, research cell, at the Indian Medical Association’s Kerala wing.

“After an expected drop following lockdowns, Group A streptococcal infection among younger children had surged in 2022, some of which turned severe. Whether this immune dysfunction accompanying long Covid was responsible for these additional infections is unclear."

What does the study say? To enhance the accuracy, the authors included both healthy children and those who had recovered without complications from Covid-19. Among the children with long Covid, seven of 10 experienced fatigue, while half had a loss of interest and difficulty concentrating. There was no difference in long Covid symptoms between vaccinated and unvaccinated children.

Long Covid Syndrome (LCS) children experienced significantly more symptoms, impairing their quality of life and functioning compared to CG+ group or convalescent children who have recovered from something like a febrile illness.

“Neutrophilic granulocyte dysfunction was found in LCS children, with decreased superoxide-producing activity and phagocytosis compared to CG+. The number of children with LCS complaints correlated significantly with altered neutrophil effector functions," said the study titled ‘Long COVID syndrome in children: neutrophilic granulocyte dysfunction and its correlation with disease severity’.

Neutrophilic granulocyte dysfunction is a problem with a specific type of white blood cells called neutrophils, which are important for fighting infections. These neutrophils are called granulocytes because they contain granules that help them destroy pathogens.

The neutrophils in children with LCS produce less of a molecule called superoxide, which is a chemical used by neutrophils to kill bacteria and other pathogens. Hence, it means that these neutrophils are less effective at destroying and cracking down on harmful invaders like bacteria.

When compared to the CG+ control group who did not have long Covid, their neutrophils did not show these problems.

The number of children with LCS complaints correlated significantly with altered neutrophil effector functions, which means that the severity or presence of symptoms in children with long Covid was closely related to the dysfunction of these neutrophil activities (superoxide production and phagocytosis). In other words, the more severe the symptoms of long Covid, the more likely there was an issue with the neutrophils’ ability to perform these critical immune functions.

However, in India, experts said they are not encountering many such cases in their clinical practice.

“We are not encountering such cases in large numbers. It likely reflects the low prevalence or a shift in disease dynamics," said Dr Maninder Dhaliwal, an expert in paediatric pulmonology at NCR-based Amrita Hospital.

“Another side to the story is that symptoms attributed to long Covid (e.g. fatigue, concentration issues) may overlap with common paediatric conditions like stress, anaemia, or viral syndromes, leading to maybe underreporting."

However, doctors pointed out that this study doesn’t translate to actionable diagnostic tools, therapeutic strategies, or preventive measures, but seems currently to serve more as academic knowledge.

“However, for children presenting with lingering fatigue, brain fog, or other long Covid symptoms, this knowledge may prompt closer monitoring or referral to the right specialists (e.g., immunology, neurology)," Dhaliwal added.

pavitr prabhakar ★ general headcanons

content/warnings: implied/mentions of death (his parents+uncle), mentions of bullying, gayatri x pavitr, written by a coconut who is not indian PLS CORRECT ME!!

a/n: the sunny boy himself... (ugly crying) I LOVE HIM. loosely based off of the scraps of canon that i could find. maybe a little projection... (i am desi) atsv version pavitr! written at midnight and not very edited 💀

For some background, Pavitr was born in Southern India (likely Tamil Nadu or Kerala) so one of his first languages was Tamil! A village / small town boy at heart.

After his parents passed at a young age he moved to Mumbattan with his Aunt Maya and Uncle Bihm (of course) and it is very very different!!!

Obviously Pavitr has to learn Hindi and Marathi properly in order to fit in AND English my boy has to be multi-lingual from the start...

Even from early on Pavitr was bullied because he didn't fit in with the city kids. Gets called pagal Prabhakar (crazy Prabhakar — a bit like puny Parker?) and a slew of other names because of his accent, how he mixes up the languages, and the fact that he lives with his aunt and uncle rather than his parents.

Eventually by the time he's in his early teens he "assimilates" in terms of the language and culture but he's a scrawny kid so he still gets bullied... kids are ruthless bro don't you got the JEE to study for 💀

God forbid if anyone found out about his emo phase at that time... Pavitr's just getting onto social media and when he sees the emo subculture he just takes it and runs. (He stops out of embarassment when his Aunt Maya finds out why he's stealing her kajal... There are photos out there somewhere.)

Also meets Gayatri during his lil emo phase. Definitely a chill popular girl and definitely sticks up for him (it's giving Indian Forest Gump... does anyone know about that adaptation 😭)

He's a bit hesitant about Gayatri at first since the popular kids kind of dogpile on him all the time but eventually they become a little duo and he crushes HARD

Enter hopeless romantic Pavitr he is the embodiment of the song "Love Spell" by Param Pannu (Spotify link it's a BOP)

Plus you know he's in love when he admits he had an emo phase to you... in the middle of his emo phase. (Gayatri has all those pictures saved by the way.)

Then comes Mumbattan Visions Academy!! (according to the wiki that's where he goes.)

Of course we know that Pavitr is quite naturally smart so the entrance exam is no problem (RAFFLE BOY like Miles 😊😊😊)

But he is so super concerned about getting in with Gayatri so a few weeks before the exams they're studying together (doing anything but study)

My girl Gayatri is trying to help him out and he has no idea what she's saying and she's so smart and literally knows twice the amount of info you need to know so my boy Pavitr is sweating BULLETS the day before (exam is so easy he thinks he's sitting the wrong one LMAO)

Pavitr does NOT want to stay at the dorms he'll defo miss his auntie and uncle too much (and his auntie's cooking) but he begrudgingly goes anyway...

Enter NADEESH (his universe's Ned counterpart I totally just made up...)

They're roomies and Nadeesh is from Bengal and they actually bond quite easily considering they're not from Mumbattan he's a STEM boy and has a love/hate relationship with it (super smart though maybe just not at school... gadget stuff 😱)

Pavitr doesn't know a LICK of Bangla but Nadeesh teaches him some perhaps to rizz up Gayatri... (they're all vulgar or swear words or words Pavitr picked up from hearing Nadeesh's mum speak on the phone 💀)

SPEAKING OF GAYATRI yeah she's slaying school and also has a lil modelling thing going on too. STEM girlie and fashion girlie and knows multiple languages (her father knows a couple considering he's an officer)

Pavitr is a hopeless romantic but he's just hopeless when he asks her out in Bangla trying to be cool and doesn't realise he called her a whore... (he's so going to kill Nadeesh.)

She finds it HILARIOUS though and they start dating and everyone lived happily ever after and NO ANCIENT YOGI TIME MY BOY IS SPIDER-MAN NOW 🤯🤯🤯🤯

I think Pavitr's initial approach to being Spider-Man is very... impractical. Given he's just gotten his powers and gotten his naturally buff abilities and always amazing hair (yes that is part of his powers) (yes he asked the yogi for it), he's very spontaneous and disorganised. He probably has the stupidest most impractical suit and sweats like HELL in it (kind of like the one in the comics?) My boy's grades kind of take a hit and so does his little freshman year relationship with Gayatri.

My guy Nadeesh is chill though he knows instantly like Pavitr isn't subtle about it... (they're both night owls and Nadeesh is like cramming asf and Pavitr swings in without thinking and he's just like... "okay dude I have a physics exam tomorrow idgaf 😭 wait but that so cool though can I help—")

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a— Okay his Uncle Bihm dies. You know how it goes.

Gayatri breaks up with him (it's exam season and she wants to "take a break".) His uncle is dead. He's flunking school (for real this time) Emo phase 2? Maybe not...

Pavitr ends up spending a lot more time with Maya and while he's a little irrationally spiteful he learns the importance of taking care of the little family he has left. Pavitr doesn't have the privilege of that multi-generational village household he had back when he was young, or parents like the rest of his classmates. It's just him and his aunt in that little apartment, a speck in the whole of Mumbattan, the place he has to protect and call home now.

Okay that got sad real fast but HE CHERISHES HIS AUNT hence why he always makes time to have chai with her, no matter how busy he is or how emo he's feeling.

His uncle Bihm had a couple traditional pieces of clothing and Maya makes him try them on. He feels a bit silly especially since he's gotten used to pushing away his culture and mainly speaking English at his new school but then his aunt starts tearing up and he starts tearing up and "you look just like your chacha" and UGH

After a while Pavitr gets himself together and decides to design himself a new suit. He takes inspiration from a couple of his uncle's fancier pieces and also Gayatri's first advert feature (my girl is going places!!!) so his outfit has a lot of meaning to him.

We gotta go BACK for the yo-yo though y'all. I'm so certain that Gayatri had a yo-yo when they were younger and he learnt it just to impress her... SO HE HAS A YO-YO AS PART OF HIS GEAR 😱😱😱

Of course these little signs add up and Gayatri is like half-sure he's Spider-Man (but not entirely cause when she's saved in the film she's a bit taken aback when he hugs her... my girl is smart but you always got a lil uncertainty!!! Maybe she figures it out after that though...)

Obviously he flunked those exams considering he was NOT studying while he was grieving and when Gayatri checks up on him he's of course not doing the greatest despite his little comeback. However...

"I can help you review if you want?" she asks him. Pavitr's smile comes back that day.

But my boy STILL CANNOT CATCH A BREAK because Gayatri's father gets promoted to Police Captain and is suddenly very protective of his daughter

There's a lot of awkward moments where Pavitr has to play off his association with Gayatri (puts the hopeless in hopeless romantic yet again.) No, she never told him they were dating before (and those pictures are in a SAFE trust) though they're not exactly dating now.

Gayatri is pretty indifferent about it all, to be fair. She doesn't exactly care if her father finds out (and hopefully she can tell him soon) but she also doesn't want her dad to be disappointed in her considering she looks up to him a lot.

A BIT OF GAYATRI HEADCANON but I feel like she's very academically gifted but doesn't exactly want to go into STEM? Fashion is her thing and she eventually might want to go into acting (like this girl in her classes called Meera Jain... OUUU rivalry but not really they're besties I fear)

Gayatri definitely gossips and gushes to Meera Jain about Pavitr like how he gossips and gushes to Nadeesh. They both give the other contrasting advice (they're still not together... SITUATIONSHIP 💀💀💀)

It's not as bad as when Pavitr called Gayatri a whore by accident but getting together again is definitely awkward when they go to get lassi at that very overpriced store that opened up that Pavitr most definitely cannot afford (smiles and fights to pay while a part of him dies inside)

Though their relationship is stronger this time! Pavitr does still have his secret as Spider-Man, but things are looking up! Especially when he finds out that he's not the only Spider-Man (ENTER ATSV CANON STORYLINE 😱😱😱)

Endless high school antics I love this dude and his lil friends

That's it for now I think THANK YOU FOR READING!! I so wish there was more content on him but I had to take matters into my own hands...

🕸️💫🪀

y'all better stop sleeping on pavitr now... HES SO AHHHH I LOVE HIM YOU DONF UNDERSTAND HES THE DUDE EVER

don't talk about my other wips. or why im uploading this at midnight.

ALSO if you are desi (particularly indian) please correct me OR FEEL FREE TO ADD ON i am so whitewashed and my boy needs to be done justice

reblogs so super appreciated! if you wanna read the rest of my atsv stuff click here :p

[dreamsofnightmares2035]

so maybe some of you remember the grand ol' charak royalty au fic i wrote in summer '23 called velvet torn.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/47352442/chapters/119318350

so. confession: i wanted to write an epilogue but i was really happy with how it ended and i didnt want to ruin anything I've already done, so i kept putting it off. and now i don't think I'll end up doing it. so for anybody who's curious, this is what was in my mind for what happened after they ran away.

-

charan wakes up to familiar hands covering his eyes. he startles a little, relaxes when he hears tarak's chuckle. he can tell by the chill in the air and the chirping of the birds that it's still early, that the sun hasn't fully come out yet. lazily, he reaches up to pry tarak's hands away, but his prince holds firm.

"it's vishu, bangaram," tarak murmurs into his ear. "don't open your eyes yet."

vishu. of course. he finally remembers why tarak is adamant that he keep his eyes closed—today, the first thing he sees, the kani, supposedly determines his luck for the coming year. he lets tarak help him up and lead him to where they set up the vishu kani the previous night—the bronze vessel filled with gourds, a jackfruit, bananas and bunches of yellow konna flowers. behind that, propped up against the wall, are pictures of several gods, krishna, shiva, hanuman, rama. 

tarak uncovers his eyes but charan keeps them shut tight. "you really remembered to keep your eyes closed until you saw this?" his prince huffs, letting his head hit charan's shoulder, wrapping an arm around his waist from behind. 

"fine, the first thing i saw was you."

that spreads a warmth through him. charan bites his lip to stop himself from smiling, quickly turns around in tarak's hold, palms still pressed together seeking blessing. opens his eyes. there's something sacred about this, he thinks, about seeing his husband's face first, before seeing his god's face. something about how devotion is love, and love is devotion. 

tarak's face goes slack in surprise, then softens in amusement. "i can't believe you." charan leans in to press a quick kiss to his mouth, then swivels to face the kani again. he closes his eyes and prays. 

the sounds of anklets. of drums. voices talking. a knock on the door. a call of "anna!" 

they exchange a glance and break into smiles. outside, a gaggle of children—as well as their parental supervision—stand on their doorstep, clapping their hands and singing, presenting them with the kani. one of the boys is covered head to toe in blue dye, and he holds a flute to his lips. there's a peacock feather tied around his little head. tarak makes a huge show of bowing to lord krishna, while charan quietly gives a few coins to the little girl holding a jingling cloth pouch. the children all giggle at tarak's exaggerations. charan looks on fondly. he's so beloved by the youngsters in the village.

as the group bounces off to the next house, they hear a voice call, "hey, tarak! charan!"

both their heads snap up at the same time. both of them grin. "aadhi!"

...

so. yeah. i took them to kerala, because of course I wasn't just letting them go like that. the white and gold clothes they wore during the ceremony the day before the wedding was because those are kerala's colours.

so in my head, they're in palakkad or thereabouts, which is a beautiful place though the weather is a little fucked these days

they're living there incognito, doing their part in farming like the others in the village do

aadhi is probably their best friend there and they go around town with him and his cart

they both secretly find him very attractive but will never tell him and instead make eyes at each other whenever he comes round

jakkanna finds them at some point with the excuse that he's on his way to guruvayur for a pilgrimage or something

he tells them that there was a woman he loved in trilingadesa who was trapped in an unhappy marriage, and he had promised to take her away, but then he was banished and had no way of reaching her; and he went searching for her after being pardoned and found her; her husband had passed and his son disliked jakkanna at first for abandoning them

charan and tarak tease him a lot about it

tarak started dancing again, and he's been practicing with a lady in the village

he has his first performance this evening, after a long, long time

they write letters to their families and friends, and every so often they meet halfway with one of these friends to receive the responses

they're still very much in love

one day they will go back to their kingdoms and help their brothers and sisters rule

they will be happy

Tea harvester going down a slippery hill with their heavy load of tea leaves.

It was the end of the day, harvesters were only women, more than a douzain, but a man came with a truck to load all the bags. He was weighing every bag and the salary of the workers depended on it. 

I had been around making photos for some time, observing silently, until one of the women pointed at me and her bag saying something like, help me instead of taking pictures. I said ok, no problem, and pretended I could not lift the bag to make them all laugh and they did. But I’m almost sure I could never have lifted it, put it on my head and walked down this brutal slope.
