Are you referring to any specific show ? (Where these were featured)

What libraries do you use to create these UIs
I think you mentioned #rustlang somewhere, but which UI libraries ?
Is this tauri app ?

My day:
- Up at 5.10AM
- Sent elder son to school at 6.50AM
- Farmer market at 7AM
- Online session ( I conducted, so I was talking almost all the time) 10-1
- Drop elder son for school practice at 2
- Drop younger one for project at 2.30
- Pickup younger one at 5PM (but waited 30 mins for him to finish his work)
- Pickup elder one at 6.45pm (waited 1 hour for practice to get over)
🥱

I don't think snakes are considered evil because of the "looks"
Most likely because it is not easy to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous snakes. (Easier to kill the snake than take time to identify and risk someone's life)
I've never heard of vulture and goats being symbol of evil (and I don't think goats are wiped out)

Genuine query
I can understand kids like one or two subjects, and find others boring.
If child seems disinterested in *all* subjects, how to handle ?
also, unless they "give it a chance" how will they know whether it is interesting ? (Especially new/non-academic subject)

Nice!
How did you make this ? (Looks inspired by XKCD)

No.
There used to be "sand roasted" peanuts, but not "salt fried"
In fact, I didn't even now such a thing existed 🤷‍♂️

From Maharashtra:
Never had salt fried sweet potato - ever.
popcorn - not from hawker. Only in movie halls/in plastic bags. (But I don't like popcorn.)

Marathi has different words for tomorrow and yesterday.
I've noticed that folks who know hindi are learning marathi mixup these two words.
e.g. they'll say things like (in marathi) : I went there tomorrow, or I'll be going yesterday
(You get the point)
It is funny, but I adore it.

I recently heard that the cost of "conversion" of a tribal family (to certain religion) is one goat.
Yes, "भूखे पेट का मज़हब रोटी है"
(let us assume family of 4)

I assume there is a special code (shorthand ?) for Telegram ?
Is that a well known code ?

I don't know " **How** change our education strategy"
if/when students understand "why" they are learning, they might do better.
As long as they are learning because their parents send them to school for learning, they are likely to focus on "getting out of studies" and resort to such tricks.
What do you think ?

Fancy.
What do you make for Sankranti.
We make Tilgul to give to others (Til = Sesame, Gul = Jaggery)
and Gulachi Poli for meals (Roti stuffed with Jaggery. Maybe not roti, more like sweet stuffed paratha, but poli => roti)

[@Theorem_Poem](https://mstdn.social/@Theorem_Poem ) mentions in her "52 weeks of learning" book the following :
> Our perception of time depends heavily on how fast we receive and process information from our surroundings. Generally, smaller the animal faster its processing rate, **so flies are literally watching you in slow motion.**
In the animated movie Epic : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_(2013_film) "small" people call humans (specifically the father) "slow moving idiots" (or something derogatory)
Now the reference in the movie makes sense. 💡

What a wonderful idea. I read first few (and plan to finish the rest)
I also liked your choice of topics. Seemingly random (as in no connection to previous one) each one interesting.
Do you mind if I copy this idea (and come up with my own TIL/52 weeks book) ? 😄
