From the prisons in Kerala came 61000 chapatis, 10000 Idlis, Upma, Rice-n-coconut roasted powder, bread, jam, clothes, medicines And Rs 12 lakh from the prisoners’ wages for relief.

Mom tells me in our small town in Kerala, municipal authorities have kept soaps n water at public places including bus stations, waiting sheds etc so that people can wash their hands.

While Abhinandan’s home coming is celebrated, she bid farewell to her beloved! For Keralites, squadron leader Siddharth Vashisht was their flood hero. I am sure every Malayali has paid tributes to him from their hearts.
When 4 year old Muslim girl, a cancer patient wanted a life saving medicine, Antony Ratheesh, telephoned KP Vishnu, a sergeant in TVM medical college for help. Vishnu rode his bike 150 km in the night& reached it! This is the world we have to build for our children!
This is too cool! A school in Malappuram, Kerala uses augmented reality for online classes! And an elephant, cow appear in class rooms (it’s News Minute video)
In Kerala, there’s a new word to refer to migrant workers. It’s guest labourers (Atithi thozhilalikal). As the CM to officials started using it, it’s becoming a common word there, I am told. creating new words/culture during

But Mannarcad, where it happened, is in Palakkad district , not in Malappuram! And it was not given by locals, it was kept by farmers to trap for wild boars which were damaging the crops. Sadly, the elephant had it by accident. - this is what the probe has shown so far
Former Union Minister Maneka Gandhi termed the death of a pregnant elephant in Kerala after she ate cracker-stuffed pineapple allegedly given by a local as "murder" and said Malappuram was the "most violent district" in the country

These along with two varieties of rice packets are part of free kit distributed by Kerala govt. A friend posted this on FB with a caption that none of them has anything to promote the govt or CM on it

Just don't agree with how some women treat Sabarimala shrine as a place to show their activism and courage. Come on, its a temple, for God's sake. By overdoing things, you are not serving anyone's purpose
Can you believe this is from a relief camp! Kuttanad, the area where Vijayamma - the lady in swing- comes from, is one of the worst affected. Finding joys in life 😍

From BBC report on India-Pak tension reporting(for”separating facts from fiction”):Indian tv channels showed past images of earthquakes/bombings in Syria &Afghanistan to show the damage done by Indian air strikes & they ended up playing videos of PAF jets during a 2017exercise🤦🏾♀️
TN’s new Finance Minister Palanivel Thiagarajan-PTR- is a study in contrasts. An MIT graduate, a top banker, married a foreigner, ardent devotee of Goddess Meenakshi in a party of atheists..

My timeline today is a perfect example on how LW reacts when a fact - which is unpleasant to them- is pointed out. So, there’s no difference between the “wings”!
Not that I am a fan of Patanjali. But the way traditional medicines are slammed in the backdrop of its wrong claims on Covid medicine is not accepted. Ayurveda&other alternative medicines have always helped to enhance the immunity! Homeopathy has proved to be effective for many

What a surprise! This young man became speechless when he found his wife standing beside him while cutting the cake. He works in Muscat, wife was in Kerala but gave him a surprise by flying down to celebrate his first birthday after marriage.
