Toxic songs (zero risk, boring voice)

Ok, I liked tabaahi, manamohaka ok different voice… aamele en guru full repeat, almost very safe beats, nothing out of ordinary. I liked on theme music but that’s all. Maybe I’ll start liking once I watch movie but songs won’t get me to theatre and as others are saying using just one to two singers was wrong move, that too in all languages same singer was even worse move

Such a loss for industry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ho3Je1y6mU

Youtube recommended this video and i am just angry that Darshan couldn't control his anger.. He truly grew with his talent, hard work and I have heard so many people talk about his humbleness.. Sahavaasa dosha aste. He was so important for KFI and he is spending his time in jail

Because the weather has been so hot, I spent 20 mins watering the plants today

I have nothing else to add.. I just feel stupid for wasting time and water

Edit: This rain so far seems like politics, lot of noise, very little action

Is it just me, or has the industry's response to Appu's demise felt deeply commercialized?

I didn't see the industry care so much about him before, and suddenly everyone encashed. The sad thing is, their entire PR campaign was built on top of his death and little on his life. That didn't include raising funds in his name and doing good; it was mostly a promotional play. Of course, I know many actually felt his untimely demise from the heart, including all his fans and myself. But that is the exact reason why encashing on his death worked in the first place. I am angry that the industry is still trying to milk his death while hardly giving anything back to society. Do you agree, and if yes, who are some of the worst culprits?

I commute Aurora by bus with my wife. Here's what "compassion" looks like from the seat with urine on it.

I live near Aurora. I and my wife commute by bus. I'm not here to score political points. I'm here because this situation is affecting real people every single day, and I'm tired of the conversation getting hijacked by people who don't have to live with the consequences.

If you ride the bus, you already know. Bus seats with urine on them. People smoking or reeking of marijuana in an enclosed space. Spilled food, needles, hostile encounters. This isn't an exaggeration: it's Tuesday. My wife and I both commute this way. We don't have the luxury of pretending this is fine.

If you work late, you know the math you do in your head every night. Taking a 7 PM bus in non-summer months means walking Aurora in the dark. If you're a woman, you get approached. Period. The walk home is its own gauntlet. Even driving through Aurora at night feels unsafe and I say that as someone who isn't easily rattled.

Think about who else this is hitting.

  • Cab and rideshare drivers who say they don't feel safe on these routes and enter aurora unknowingly at night
  • DoorDash and delivery drivers who get routed through Aurora without choosing to
  • Small business owners living with daily fear of vandalism, watching their customer base shrink, and eating rising insurance costs with zero path to recovery
  • Families whose kids are asking why there are naked people on the street or finding used condoms in their neighborhood

Now think about the women on Aurora. This is the part that should bother everyone regardless of where you sit politically. Many of these women are clearly being exploited. I don't know how many are underage. I don't know what they're on when they're standing nearly naked on freezing, windy nights. I doubt most of them fully understand the health risks they're exposed to: STDs, injury, worse. And from everything we've seen in the videos, the reports, many of them did not freely choose this. They are being trafficked and exploited. If you care about vulnerable people, this is the issue.

So here's what frustrates me about the opposition. When people push back against taking action on Aurora, the argument usually comes down to compassion. And I get that nobody wants to be the person who "doesn't care." But refusing to act isn't compassion. It's comfort. It lets you sit with a clean conscience while commuters deal with unsafe, unsanitary conditions daily, women and families avoid walking their own neighborhoods, workers on night shifts white-knuckle their way home, small businesses slowly bleed out, and exploited women remain exploited.

It's easy to argue for the status quo when you don't take the bus. When you don't have kids walking past this. When you don't work nights. When your rent and groceries aren't tied to a paycheck that requires you to be on Aurora.

This is a willpower issue. We know what a safe, walkable, family-friendly, small-business-friendly Aurora could look like. We just need leadership willing to make it happen.

I personally think the new Mayor is making progress in general, and I hope she and her team see the everyday reality that residents are dealing with and push for something permanent — not just enforcement sweeps, but real, lasting change.

If you live near Aurora, you know. If you don't, I'm asking you to listen to the people who do.

Edit: For those saying, don't just rant, give solutions, For starters, enforce the laws that already exist.. I just did a google search and found them

Washington State criminal laws that already apply:

  • RCW 9A.88.030: Prostitution (misdemeanor)
  • RCW 9A.88.110: Patronizing a Prostitute (currently just a misdemeanor this is the big gap)
  • RCW 9A.88.010: Indecent Exposure a misdemeanor normally, gross misdemeanor if exposed to someone under 14, and a Class C felony for repeat offenders Washington State Legislature
  • RCW 9A.40.100: Trafficking an already a Class A felony (seriousness level XIV, just below Murder 1)
  • RCW 9A.88.070/080 Promoting Prostitution (1st degree is Class B felony; 2nd degree is Class C)
  • RCW 9A.52.070/080 Criminal Trespass (1st and 2nd degree)
  • RCW 9A.48 Malicious Mischief / Vandalism
  • RCW 69.50 Uniform Controlled Substances Act (drug possession/use)
