If your mom was coming to visit you in Seattle for Mother's Day, where would you take her? Looking for food recs but also other activities that would be good for a mom in her late 70s. I'm still new-ish to the area and haven't gotten out much.

Till when will this Brahmin bashing continue. Edho caste system adopt pannita, namma enna thappu panom ippo. Why are we being bashed all the time? If Muslims can be proud of their religion and custom, why can’t we? Random ramblings.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Anyone watching Indian Matchmaking? Aparna and her mother have to be the worst, right? She thinks she's a godsend and quite frankly she looks like a potato, is ignorant, doesn't sound nearly as intelligent as she professes to be, and is even more negative than I am! That's gotta say something.

Why if you are on H1B is so much problematic for vendors looking for contractors ?

Been in Seattle for ~1 year and something I’ve observed is the constant s*it-talking of the city from the locals. Is this because they haven’t experienced other places? While the current homelessness in the city needs to be handled, crime is still relatively low compared to other major cities. The complaints about gloominess also seems a bit dramatic. I’m from the NE and am so grateful to not be dealing with snowy winters and sweltering summers.
