Were Moonnam Mura (1988) and Douthyam (1989) "inspired" by any Hollywood movies?

No disrespect intended - I enjoyed both films and would like to watch the originals if there are any.

Are there any health benefits to adding water to whisky before drinking it? I prefer drinking it neat, but I'm concerned about potential health risks.

Is it significantly less damaging to health if I drink watered down Whiskey. I prefer the real taste of Whiskey (or any alcoholic drink), I don't like the syrupy feel you get when you add water to it. I even enjoy the slight burning sensation you get at back your throat when you have it neat. I usually take my time and drink sip by sip when I am drinking neat, I really do enjoy it that way. Is "koombuvaadal" a real thing?

​

Is it damaging to your stomach lining if I consume Whiskey neat?

How does Day to Day manage to offer such huge discounts on packaged food items? Is it safe to buy from them ?

I've heard friends say that you should never buy food items from Day to Day because some products might be fake. I recently visited a Day to Day store for the first time since coming to the UAE.

Honestly, I expected it to be the kind of place that sells "KAT KAT" instead of "KITKAT," but I was surprised to see only well-known brands of chocolates and other packaged food products. I also noticed huge discounts, such as a large Lays value pack containing multiple small packets for just 5 AED.

I bought the Lays, and it was the same genuine Lays sold elsewhere in the GCC countries, not some cheaper variant imported from a third world country.

How do they manage to offer such large discounts?

Also, where can I buy branded chocolates at lower prices in Abu Dhabi or Mussafah? I'm looking for chocolates such as Lindt, Ritter Sport, and other European brands, as well as other popular stuff like M&M's, KitKat, Feastables and Cadbury, to take home as gifts for my friends and family.

What do you think about eVOTL stocks? Is it just hype or the next big thing. (JOBY, ACHR, EVTL)

Here is what I learned about eVOTL

  1. The main question I had was: why do we need eVTOLs when we already have helicopters?
    Apparently this thing produces far less noise and are mechanically much simpler than traditional helicopters. They’re basically car‑sized drones.

2)They’re fully electric and battery‑powered, unlike helicopters that use aviation fuel. Battery capacity is the main limitation, which restricts their range. Current‑generation eVTOLs can travel around 100 to 250 km (I believe that's 62 miles to 155miles) at most, so they’re mainly designed for short, city‑to‑city or intra‑city transport. It's not gonna be a replacement for a taxi, it's gonna be an alternative for metro, bullet train or other city to city transport.

  1. Current gen eVOTL can hold 1 pilot + 4 to 5 passengers. So you will need many of these to operate at the scale of a metro train.

4)They require dedicated charging stations and landing pads. Also if it's going to a public mode of transport it will need a waiting station for passengers, a proper boarding system/setup. This is another bottleneck in my opinion, since new infrastructure has to be built specifically for eVTOL operations.

  1. Major players in this space - Archer aviation and Joby Aviation

The best case scenario is that it's gonna be a regular mode of transport and stocks are going to shoot up. Worst case scenario it's gonna be like one of those pedal boats you see in touristy places, a novelty item.

So what's your thoughts on eVOTL? Are there any companies I missed. If you're in on it which one would you invest in.

Is it possible to pay a traffic fine worth AED 400 in 3 installments using Tabby?

I don’t have any credit cards, Tabby, or Tamara, and I’ve never used any kind of credit card or EMI service before. I’m planning to go home next month due to an emergency. I’ve heard that you can’t leave the country without paying fines, so it would really help me if I could pay the fine in 3 installments.
