This “floating Krishna” at Thrippunithura Atham won 1st prize this year.
The secret? A cleverly welded iron frame hidden under the saree and costumes. The structure was carefully measured, tested for safety, and built to support the 60 kg artist.
Pretty impressive engineering behind the illusion! 🔥

Hey all, need some outside perspective.
Got an offer for an IT role in Central Africa.
Details:
~4 yrs experience required, matches my background
Salary paid to NRI account, but bimonthly — i.e., every 2 months, both months' salary together, not monthly
Free shared accommodation, food, medical, laundry
Decent fixed local monthly allowance on top for personal expenses
Flight tickets covered for annual leave (after 11 months)
Package overall seems okay on paper — the "extras" (housing/food/flights) actually add real value. But the bimonthly salary structure is bugging me. Never seen this in any domestic job.
Is this common for African expat postings, or is it a tactic to make it harder for people to leave? Anyone with experience working in Central Africa (DRC, Congo region) who can share how this actually plays out in practice?
