Artifact lens - a digital way to preserve and share archeological findings

https://preview.redd.it/2podcio73oge1.png?width=1620&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3bb63925b1637ddb352105b72270d17638f1e92

Recently, I created a design prototype called Artifact Lens for submission to the XR Design Contest hackathon. My concept involves utilizing Meta Quest's depth sensing to scan ancient artifacts into high-quality digital versions and share them beyond geographical boundaries. Archaeological findings are often confined to their respective locations, making them inaccessible to a global audience. My application could overcome this limitation.

Check out this video > https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=inozb5X9ZQM

I am sharing this here because there has been significant recent interest in Tamil Nadu archaeology. Stalin announced $1 million for decrypting Indus Valley inscriptions, and we have recently discovered that the Iron Age began much earlier than in other civilizations. Considering these developments, I believe I can bring this concept to reality with some assistance. If anyone involved in Tamil archaeology is reading this, please share your thoughts on this idea and its potential benefits. It would be great to receive some leads on funding for development.

How have view on marriage in Chennai changed / changing in the past years?

What happens these days if a boy tells. a girl "I date only to marry" during the first 2 dates?

I am curious to hear from you all, as a 30+M struggling to date in today's Gen-Z world with old school values.

Is it wrong to express that you are someone who only dates to settle, to find a longterm partner and marry?

That you don't date just to date and have fun and then 'go with the flow'??

Why it's easy for some girls to move on after an breakup

865 days of relationship and all it took is just 60 minutes for her to throw the relationship away.......

Now she is happily going for dinners and outings with her office colleagues, whom she used to complain about them to me. Now I wonder that did she really loved me.....

God should have given this ability to boys also.....

She left me less than 90 days after my dad died and put me through hell....

Her last words are these..."Onna nambi en amma appa va vitutu vanthu, enala kasta pada mudiyathu".....she is right but, she didn't give me a chance.....we both are 24 years old and she started to compare me with a older boy her parents planned to get her married to him and he is earning around 80k per month......this is not fair.

If anyone faced this similar situation, kindly help me....

I Was made fun of for the way I address my partner

I know the title sounds very petty and it probably is, but this incident has been bothering me ever since it happened and I just wanted to get it out and see if it is a big deal. So yeah, anyways, I had my school reunion a couple of weeks ago. We are all in our later twenties now 28/29 to be precise and quiet a bit of us have gotten married recently in the last two to three years

Anyways I arrive at the hotel, I meetup with some friends we catchup and it’s all good for a while. So just to give a bit of context, I got married to my husband two years ago it was a love marriage and most of these people showed up to my wedding. The thing is after getting married I had to move in with my in laws. They are a little conservative and expect me to call my husband ‘vanga, ponga’ .

Although it was a little awkward for me at first, I got used to it and started addressing him like that even in private. It was all very unconscious and we were both chill with it. Anyways we were all packing up to leave and my husband called to check on me and a couple of people sitting next to me heard this and started exchanging smiles. I asked them what it was about and then this woman went on a whole tangent about how it is very conservative, out of trend and she got a little bit of second hand embarrassment. She put all this subtly and laughed it off, but it just made me feel very uncomfortable.

And another friend of mine checked in on me thinking my marriage was in trouble?? Cause of the way I address my husband. She just assumed that my husband and his family was being problematic. I initially thought this was just a bunch of judgmental girls who never grew up, but now I feel like maybe it’s me? Am I just too out of touch for this generation? Am I overthinking? I genuinely feel so bothered by this and don’t know why.

Boutiques similar to Anokhi

I love the quality of the cotton and the cut of clothes at Anokhi. What are some similar boutiques in Chennai that I should explore next time I visit? I’m a late 40s NRI/ABCD and love traditional cotton prints.

ECR case - suspects belong to ADMK not DMK

As per police report suspects found to be ADMK guy, they used DMK flag in their car to skip paying at tolls.

One guy is the nephew of Nilgiri AIADMK District Secretary Kappachi Vinod. The seized Thar belongs to him.

The main culprit Chandru's uncle is Irumbuliyur J peravai seyalalar an ADMK outfit who owns the Safari.

It's bit rich to expect the same reaction towards ADMK or even 10% of what was shown on DMK.

More than political narrative it's the facts, trials, case development & outcome matters.

Looking for livelihood options for a senior citizen

Nanbargale, I know a man in his seventies. Pretty much a self-made man, worked for a very good, big company just outside Chennai all his career and retired like a decade and a half ago. Was living off his savings and a little pension, but inflation has caught up to him now. He's now of very limited means, barely managing to make ends meet. He was in the mechanical field all his life. Hasn't touched a computer. Knows to operate his smartphone, get the basics done. Lives in Chennai. Can't travel much.

Anyone has any ideas on how to get him to make some money for himself? Say some ten to twenty grand a month. Is that possible? I can get him a laptop, and train him in the basics.

I'm not sure if this is enough info, but let me know otherwise.

Gym community -> Bully club

As someone who has been actively involved in fitness for the past 5 years, it's very disheartening to see the gym community turning into a ragging platform for people trying to get in shape. I'm not talking about bigger franchises like Slam and Brigade, because I haven't gone there yet, but the local smaller gyms. I was trained by an anna (not a gym trainer. Just a member like me) when I first started. Him and his buddies taught me almost everything and they were with me throughout my transformation journey in my first year, when they had no reason to do it. That's how the community was 5 years ago. Pure encouragement and motivation for the rookies. In the past 2 years, I've changed around 5 gyms all because of one reason - I didn't like people (especially the trainers and managers themselves) mocking other people who trying to get in shape, behind their backs. Statements like "Malamaadu edhuku gym varudhu ney therla", "Elumbu mattum than Iruku odambu la, Ivan lam en gym varan", "ponnunga vandha nalla irukum, inga indha nonjankal ah ye paathu mudila" have become very common across all the gyms I've been to. These are actual statements I've heard "trainers" say.

I've tried talking to them, requesting them to stop passing those comments and it didn't seem like it was about to stop anytime soon. I'm planning to take it up a notch and enroll myself into Slam from Feb 10th. Hopefully people there mind their own business.

If you're someone hitting the gym, and you've been passing comments like this, please stop it from today. It's not cool. Everyone are fighting different battles. People have different bodies, genetics and conditions. And they are trying to better themselves by getting off their couch. That itself deserves praise. Do not put down other people to feed your own insecurity. If someone's form is bad, please help them correct it and if not, atleast do not comment.

Looking for a Social Media & Marketing Intern for My Handmade Cosmetics Business

Hi everyone,

I run a small handmade cosmetics business specializing in lip care products like lip gloss, lip tints, lip balms, and more. I’m looking for a female intern (not an agency) who can help with:

•	Social media strategy – Planning seasonal and product-based content across Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms.
•	Content creation – Designing posts, reels, and stories that align with trends and my brand.
•	Basic ad management – Running small-scale ads to increase customer reach.

Since my budget is minimal, this is a great opportunity for students or freshers who want hands-on experience in social media marketing, branding, and ad campaigns.

📍 Preference: Tamil-speaking female candidates from Tamil Nadu for better communication and brand understanding.

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please DM me. Looking forward to collaborating.
