When North Indians meant the Diwali party, this is actually what they were telling you.

CCB Busts Illegal Deepavali Pool Party in Marathahalli; Three Arrested
The Bengaluru CCB police raided an illegal high-tech pool party organised at a private villa on Kariyammana Agrahara Road in Yamalur, Marathahalli, during which the use of MDMA, ganja, alcohol and prohibited hookah was reportedly found. The party was organised in the name of Deepavali celebrations without obtaining necessary permissions.
The organisers allegedly used social media and online apps, including FV Social 404 and Hopzyx, to attract youngsters through WhatsApp and Instagram promotions. Entry fees were fixed at ₹1,710 for men, ₹1,080 for women and ₹2,400 for couples, with additional charges for drugs and other substances. The parties were reportedly held from 9 pm to 5 am, with participants given only approximate locations to avoid police detection.
CCB police arrested three accused, identified as Arihant Pandey, Abhinav Pandey and Parth. Police seized materials from the venue and sent them for examination. A case has been registered at Marathahalli police station, and the raid reportedly exposed unauthorised activities being conducted under the guise of private pool parties.

Underrated life advice: Just be unapologetically yourself. When you edit your personality, you start attracting the type of relationships that need constant maintenance. Stop filtering yourself to be liked. The right people will stick. The wrong ones will walk. That's a blessing.

Start eating before 5 AM, fast until sunset, break your fast, eat until you’re full and go to sleep. Wake up and repeat the same routine.
And please don’t expect others to change their food habits or lifestyle just because you’re fasting. There are many Hindus who observe fasts on several days throughout the year, yet they don’t expect anyone around them to change their routine or make special arrangements for them. They simply observe their fast without imposing it on others.
Dear non-Muslims,
As Ramadan is just 92 days away,
Please avoid eating in front of Muslims who are fasting.
Please avoid drinking in their presence.
Do not deliberately tempt those observing the fast.
Muslims will be fasting from dawn until sunset.
A little consideration and respect go a long way. ❤️🌙
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Non-Muslims are not required to avoid eating or drinking near those who are fasting. Guides and many Muslims say the fast is a personal obligation; normal eating by non-Muslims is fine; not eating in front of others is an optional courtesy, but is not obligatory.

Recruitment bias against Kannadigas is proved 💯.
BIAL - top management all Mallus
HR head - diversity Mallu .... That is a smokescreen for hiring ONLY Mallus
People in the know have confirmed there are almost no Kannadigas employees in BIAL.
Are Kannadigas being overlooked for jobs at Bengaluru Airport?
A debate over local employment has intensified at Karnataka's Kempegowda International Airport, with Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) demanding greater job opportunities for Kannadigas.
A KRV delegation met airport officials and representatives of 13 companies over alleged hiring preferences for non-local candidates. According to KRV, the companies have assured them that they will double their local workforce within a year.
While allegations of recruitment bias remain unverified, the controversy has raised questions about local employment opportunities at the airport. KIAL's response is awaited.

Linguistic states were carved out within India's constitutional framework to preserve, promote and protect the distinct identities of their people. Our forefathers had fought for this. In a federation as diverse as India, honouring that diversity is what holds the union together.
So when we assert our language, identity and rights, it is not parochialism. It is the very purpose for which linguistic states exist. Imposing “outside” language/s and culture on the native people is parochialism, not the natives asserting their rights and promoting their own language in their own land.
Only those who fail to grasp this basic idea jump up and down about it.
Linguistic states are here to stay. They are unalterable. Forever.

Reports of zero Kannadigas in several Bengaluru IT companies expose how managerial and HR favouritism is systematically destroying opportunities for local talent. Let’s all stand behind KaRaVe and support the movement until we achieve our goal! #JobsForKannadigas

Well said. Indian mayors have been stripped of their powers, reduced to ceremonial robes & welcoming VIPs at airports.
In Bengaluru, where mayor's post has been vacant since 2020, even those robes are gathering dust.
All Indian cities should have directly elected mayors with a full five-year tenure & meaningful executive powers. State govt's ad hoc approach to urban governance must end.
A daughter of Thiruvananthapuram, @nithyavraman, is the new Mayor of Los Angeles! And with @ZohranKMamdani in New York, America’s two biggest cities will be run by people of Indian origin!
I’m sure they will do a far better job than their counterparts back in India, who are reduced to powerlessness by a British-era system that disperses authority and budgets, leaving Mayors here without any real means to govern their cities effectively…

Imposing Hindi in Tamil Nadu is wrong but stealing jobs from Kannadigas in Karnataka is a great idea.

One of my Kannadiga friend who provides transportation services to KIA company in AP faced huge backlash in AP when he won the contract.
He was telling that in every step he was asked by locals why his team has come from Karnataka to AP that he should go back to Karnataka

Since when did demanding employment opportunities for locals become a threat? Two organisations have every right to engage and communicate peacefully.
Remember what Sarvajna said: ಕರೆಯದಲೆ ಬಂದವನು, ಜರೆಯದಲೆ ನುಡಿದವನು, ಅರಸನೊಳು ನಗೆಯಾಡಿದವನು, ಜಗದೊಳಗೆ ಕರಕಷ್ಟ ಕಾಣಾ ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ.
The Jobs for Kannadigas campaign has reached out to 400+ companies from Google to Wipro. Both sides have engaged civilly, without a single complaint.
Why are people who aren't even stakeholders in this issue fear-mongering & calling for a crackdown? Yen nim problem? #Bengaluru

This is @BLRAirport HR head Nalini George, She spits out a word salad about "Diversity". Dear Nalini, how many Malayali networks have you enabled at the cost of Kannadigas? Your idea of Diversity is filling every level with Malayalis. @rakuten_india

No compromise on local employment. Prioritise Kannadigas for jobs, provided they meet the required qualifications, skills and merit. If local candidates are equally qualified, they must get a chance. The demand for jobs for locals is entirely justified.
Kannada is supreme in Karnataka. Those who live and work here must make an effort to learn and speak Kannada. Respect the land, its people and its language.
