Not that unique a phenomenon. Plenty of people eat all sorta junk food and later go to the gym thinking it'd be offset. But alas, nobody can outrun a crappy diet.
Visited Tiruttani Murugan Temple today. People of Tamil Nadu will talk about Periyar in the morning and will go to Temple in the evening, very difficult to understand them. That is why religiously oriented parties could not win in TN.

Murasoli published such cartoons but hey, MK was the first one to have addressed Kamaraj as Kamarajar, so he respected him immensely. New cooked up story, fresh off the Dravidian புருடா press. From புருடாMaster KabilaRRR (3R for 3x the respect)

A comic shouldn't be using his paid audience as "content", an interviewer shouldn't be using cars and food as props. Just do your basic jobs without these masala gimmicks. "Crowd work" is cringe. I've seen only Rahul Subramanian get this format right.

Empathy's best usecase is when a traditional, devout, obedient person walks in the shoes of a modern, rational, McCaulay educated person who's taught to question everything. With a little direction, and taming of his mind, he'd come over to this side soon. If that historicity.

Historicity of our epics is the remedy for those smitten by this "mythology" disease. But health isn't just an absence of diseases. Devotion and acceptance of Shastric view becomes the final cure - where higher truths are revealed. It is good to meet people where they are.
Happy to see a big film coming out of India. But Ramayana is Indian mythology and not history, just like Norse, Roman and Greek mythology. Odin, Zeus etc are not history, Ram is not history. These are mythological characters.
