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! 🔥

Can anyone identify this snake. It's in my bathroom. It's urgent

Edit: Thank you everyone! Athine bucketil ittu kaatil kondu vittu.

തൊടുപുഴയിൽ രാസലഹരിയുമായി DYFI നേതാവുൾപ്പെടെ നാലുപേർ പിടിയിൽ; ഇവരിൽ നിന്ന് 18.18 ഗ്രാം MDMA, 10ഗ്രാം ഹൈബ്രിഡ് കഞ്ചാവ് എന്നിവ കണ്ടെടുത്തു

We initially just wanted to play our songs to a certain audience.

We were looking for places where Thiriv Theory can perform, but finding a space for an original punk band wasn't easy at all.

All mfer want existing crowd, clean and more predictable sounds, which we don't fuck with.

Cos of that, we had a fear that maybe our sound won't work in Kochi, cos I don't think Kochi has ever seen a proper punk scene in music.

So instead of waiting for someone else to get us a stage, we decided to build our own one, which felt far better cos I didn't wanna make just a music show, I wanted to show our art.

I wanted to bring together the things that already existed around me. Music, visual art, graffiti, independent artists and people who wanted somewhere to experiment without being judged.

That became the idea behind the Thiriv Theory Fest.

In Kochi, it's been a while (or maybe never happened before) that a punk scene has happened.

There wasn't a large production behind it, mostly us bandmates and a few people to help with, yet people scammed us in between. Well, it is what it is.

The result and the post production was chaotic af.

DIY and imperfect, but that's exactly what we're looking for. Only one question: would people take it or not?

The goal was to make the audience feel like they were contributing to it as well, rather than just watching the show.

MUSIC

The music was centered around our originals rather than just covers. That was also a questionable point from our side cos no one knows any of the songs.

Nobody even knew Thiriv Theory.

We performed our own Malayalam punk-rock songs.

AUDIENCE

Around 60 to 70 people showed up.

Getting those people there was the hardest part. We struggled heavily to sell the tickets.

And there were a lot of moments where we felt all the work might not translate to the audience.

But the people who came stayed. They were headbanging the whole time.

I personally had a lot of loss in money, shit tone. But every single penny, worth it. They stayed until the very end.

By the end, things got out of hand. It was more than we expected. People crowded around the stage.

None of it went smooth at all. Everybody wanted to bite a piece of Thiriv Theory's ass. We didn't even have much of an ass to bite for.

Still, people scammed us, Union of Mattancheri made a scene when we were unloading our things.

Financially, we took significant loss putting the effort together.

Something changed immediately after the show.

People were screaming our songs after, from outside.

And our social media, which started from 0, eventually started growing just by one night.

A lot of people who weren't even there at the show started texting us just by seeing the video clips.

More importantly, a team had already approached us and booked Thiriv Theory right after.

I have two 1.5-year-old female cats, Peaches and Miso. They are vaccinated, litter trained, healthy, and well cared for.

Unfortunately, due to my current family situation, I’m no longer able to keep them at home permanently. My parents are strongly against having them here, and it has become increasingly difficult to keep them at home.

I love them very much and want to make sure they go to safe and loving homes. I am able to keep them for a little longer while a suitable home is found, so I’m reaching out to ask if anyone is willing to adopt them or help me rehome them.

I would really appreciate any kind of assistance or information to get them to a loving home.

Thank you.
