If you watch any old, hand drawn Shinchan films, you can feel the warmth, and touch of an actual human being writing it in a very witty, clever and humorous way with the conclusions and ending actually having a story to tell which even if you are not a Shin chan fan, you'll enjoy. The story seemed to actually have someone's effort behind it, like someone who actually does care but...the recent Shin chan films have none such quality.

Ever since it transitioned to digitally drawn, the writing quality went incredibly low. The humour was just limited to big boob women, and fart/butt jokes and that's about it. Even the ending + story became incredibly focused on just resolving it via butt somehow instead of the creative endeavours shown in previous movies.

Now, butt jokes are the focus and the solution + humour of the full movie itself rather than being a small part of it.

Take for example, a classic hand drawn animation, Henderland: the solution for defeating the villain was to place the card in the highest possible point of the tower where the illusionary magic breaks.

Or even a lesser known film like Fubukimaru. The end solution was fighting to the villain's base and then have mecha bot fight yet the story was still very entertaining to watch.

Both of these films had innuedos, and yes butt jokes + fart jokes but they weren't the solution/what the movie revolved about as the movie itself had a story to tell for itself.

Now let's take 2 movies from the digital animation era, Wedding one: The end solution was a butt machine which in itself was a joke and the story concept was interesting but ultimately, the film made the butt joke the literal solution.

And a rather infamous one, Spy wars. The entire premise in itself was based completely off on fart jokes, butt jokes and the solution was itself those as well.

If we are to compare the two then it becomes a common trend that after the transition into digital animation, the quality of the films fell off drastically and the films lost their clever, witty writing style and were turned into soul-less husks where no matter what you do, the end solution/climax of the story will be jotted down to just fart/butt jokes.

This is genuinely not from a perspective of nostalgia or rose tinted glasses.

Even the older, hand drawn films weren't always bangers but they always made sense and still were very well written and a healthy balance on when to take itself seriously and when not to take itself seriously. Comedy was something that happened along with action to uplift the moment rather than being the focus itself.

On the other hand, in the digital animation era, the stories don't make sense even in a hypothetical fictional setting, they're very poorly written and the movie takes itself very seriously when it shouldn't and not seriously at all when it should. The healthy balance is completely gone and the film are either monotonous in action or in poorly written humour/joke that gets old really fast. Situational comedy aspect is completely gone and the story itself makes zero sense and isn't enjoyable at all.

The older films treating comedy as seasoning not the meal itself :/ The jokes existed alongside a genuine adventure story. This is something the newer films thoroughly lack. In the newer films, the gag itself becomes the premise, climax, and resolution which makes it incredibly poor quality and once again not at all enjoyable or smth to look back to fondly.

Most of them have me questioning as to how they even made out of the concept room, let alone greenlit by someone when they were so low/poor quality and even the old mid-tier films had a far higher bar for quality as a baseline.

So my question is, what really happened during the transition? Why did post transition the quality of the series suck so much that it turned into an empty husk? What truly went wrong?

So I ordered something and the retailer shipped it via India Post on 19th and I got updates via the tracking ID through the website properly until 20th and then literally nothing for 8 days, even till now and I'm incredibly scared as to if my package got lost or something.

I raised a complaint and I just got the update that it was last spotted in Nagpur on 21st but that's about it. No updates beyond that and I can't seem to file a new complaint either.

I called the helpline and even they only tracked upto 21st and said it's doesn't take 7 days to reach my location from Nagpur and then just started mumbling if there's some staff issue, the parcel never left nagpur or that I can recieve it in 2-3 days. This call happened on 26th but nothing happened.

What should I do??

As a second year law student, I've interned at Jus Corpus (it was exploitative, a scam and bs), Record of Law (really not beneficial and feels more of an advertisement to get your articles published for fees than anything), Dexon Global (it was mostly okay), Grassroot policies (currently working in there with next month being my last and the experience was alright), lex saarthi (mid but okay tbh), naksh foundation- project cyber shield (learnt a lot of stuff here and probably may go back to) and rajpati & associates (honestly helpful for a beginner) and AGISS research institute (made me learn some new stuff).

I am not going for on-site internships until my 5th Semester so...are there more remote internship places which are helpful and give an actual learning experience? I found most of mine via LinkedIn and College WhatsApp groups but I'm open to recommendations.

Basically the title. I have been told from my very childhood that Tulsi Maa (the plant) mustn't be watered on a Sunday for that is the day she fasts, but I always kinda thought it to be cruel and superstitious especially on hot summer days when the soil dries up fully and even cracks under the harsh heat and the plant is given no water throughout the whole day until Monday morning came.

My mom said to not even touch the plant let alone water it on Sundays as it is sinful which again, I found very absurd and bs ngl

I still snuck in water for it because I felt incredibly bad seeing the plant not watered on a hot day (secretly ofc as I didn't want to hurt my mom's feelings/sentiments) but regardless, I'm about 99% sure Sanatan Dharma didn't have rigid, strict days like Christians/Muslims especially with the fact, Gregorian calendar and the concepts of "Sunday/Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/etc" are relatively new and something we adopted from the British + Christian cultural exchange during colonisation because Sunday in itself was created because Christians of that time were not going to church properly and needed a stable day for mandatory prayers whereas Hindus, upon getting the Gregorian week days, dedicated a God for each day of the week.

Again, I'm not saying week days like Sunday/Monday/etc are purely British imports into India. Ancient India did have Ravivara (Sun), Somavara (Moon), Mangalavara (Mars), etc as these came from through ancient astronomical traditions connected with planetary systems, and India had weekday concepts long before British colonialism but the modern Gregorian structuring had become standardized under colonial rule, and over time, many current household practices became more rigid/formalized.

Hence, I am curious as to if this is merely a myth or has some basis somewhere in our Shastras/Vedas/some other authentic source.
