Oh right, now it needs burner phones like some le Carré novel and whatnot. Ugh.

Ah, good! (The form you linked to only seems to be the one page, and does not ask for estimated costs? It’s not clear to me citing any estimated cost for international travel in the current climate has any meaning though, so maybe that’s okay)

Is the possibility of funded travel open to folks outside the US also? (I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to make it, but asking so I know to share with others who might be able to!)

Title: "The Haters"
panel 1.
Two round characters sit in a cinema.
Yellow blob "I hate this!"
Red Blob "Me too!"
Panel 2.
They have left the cinema
Red blob "I hated every minute of that film! It was nothing like the book!"
Panel 3.
"Did you like the book?" asks Yellow.
Red replies "I hated it!" then asks "You?"
Panel 4.
Yellow blob "I've not read it. I hated the film purely on its own merits."
Panel 5.
Red blob "I'll lend you my copy."
Yello blob"That's very kind."
Panel 6.
Caption: "Later"
Yellow, reading the book "I hate this!"
Red (happily) "I knew you would!!"

At least what I suggested would be worth the price (although how many people would be needed to eat it before it goes bad is unclear)

Just means flying west and… more west? (More importantly, probably needs a visa?!)

There’s been such a mushrooming of sweet shops (and a sharp decline in quality of established ones) that one doesn’t know what to trust! Don’t want a subpar experience to colour my view of the whole world of Bangla desserts!

The nongu was a handcart on CMH road in Indira Nagar, just a bit west of MK Retail. The palaa I saw on old airport road somewhere near Marathahalli! (I’m not sure how helpful this is, considering Bangalore traffic and all 😁)

It’s nongu in Tamil too (no extra qualifier necessary, apparently), but I wasn’t sure if that translated 😊

I wasn’t sure what the Malayalam name was, so decided that surely such a ridiculous name would be unambiguous enough to look up 😁😁

I saw “ice apples” and these in Bangalore on a very short jaunt the other day, but they seemed rather unripe, so I didn’t buy any! Regretting that now.
