Most of the tweets are coming from Pakistani handles and Vatican mafia.
I was checking twitters accounts to see where these tweets where coming from and all of these accounts were recently created. One thing is for sure, the Vatican mafia seems to be in an overdrive now, even guys like kamal hassan have gone bonkers.

Those who are interested in what they ate,

Visiting Chinese President #XiJinping to get the taste of #SouthIndian delicacies in the special dinner hosted by PM
@narendramodi
at #Mahabalipuram.

From THAKKALI RASAM(tomato rasam) to ARACHAVITTA SAMBAR; KADALAI KURUMA(peanut kurma) to KAVANARASI HALWA(rice halwa) wil be in the menu on offer.


He looks really smart in veshti should wear it more .

Indian gov needs to do things on ground by promoting Indian manufacturing which is already hit by Chinese cheap products.

Unfortunately in last 6 years very little has been done for it apart from some optics.


Did anyone notice, there are photos of Modi hugging every other world leader, except Mr.Eleven. The relationship is icy cold at its core. The optics are just a garnishing. It's a sign that China is having to reluctantly contend with the presence of India as a major player in the world and they're not happy about it. They have been forced into having to talk to India for their own survival, because of their trade war with the US, otherwise they used to see themselves as a class apart from India.
Chinese are very reluctant when it comes to hugging etc That cultural thing might be the reason.

Unless you've been to Singapore, Chinese have very little exposure to South Indian cuisines. Udupi, Chettinad, Trichy in particular. President Xi is being treated to a lot of these.

Recurring themes in Southern cuisines: crunchiness, tartness, interplay of tart and sweet, extensive use of rice, less use of gluten-heavy grains such as wheat, and heavy use of fleshy vegetables such as gourds. Digestifs in the end are dairy-based. Desserts are less sweet than North Indian.

Yup they look weird as if they would be very heavy on tummy but are actually very light.

Coconut chutney with pudina chutni mix is my favorite. Open masala Dosa with onion sprayed over best thing that can ever be made.

Probably the most powerful date pic ever taken in South India.



Yes, boys and girls court each other over coconut. I've seen it happen in Chennai.
You mean this.......... :)

Emperor Xi is going to Nepal next after TN, keep this mind incase anyone sees this as a diplomatic coup..

Why so special coverage for xi? I mean why are some people on this board orgasming over his visit? already some dhoti shivering articles can be seen in *you know which* newspapers- editorials

More than Winnie the pooh of China it is about Mahabalipuram .

Modi and RSS have conveyed the message of their arrival which has made Vatican shrivel.

Not expecting anything substantial to come out from any india china summit. China will continue to hurt india at any given chance, while india will continue to do nothing. Personally china is the only country on which indian treatment i am very disappointed always.
China requires multi pronged and long gestation approach.

You have to speak with a position of strength to China.

Modi is working on it.

You need to read the manufacturing oriented policies, tax cuts, commitment to AMCA and domestic MIC in this context. It will take time. You can't ban imports from China and be done.

The hosting of summit here in context of China is irrelevant. What Modi needs to convey he could do anywhere else in the country and giving Xi a taste of Indic culture, there are many options.

The location is BJP smack entry into TN politics and warning to Vatican.

Also, hosting China (the second most powerful country and a NON-ABRAHAMIC country) has its own significance to the Vatican.

Chinese culture is such that they don't care for the weak if you want to be heard and respected be the strength the power that create fear among them.

Remember Chinese were flying on pigs even after Modi came to power. They conveyed to the world they will dislodge US as the most important country on Earth very soon. This was 2015-16 time. They even gave date of 2030.

Two events brought the Chinese back on Earth wrt India:

1) Doklam: With an eye to eye contact with China for a third country's territory, China stopped taking India in halka militarily.

2) Trump: Trade War completely exposed the weakness of China wrt their economy and foreign policy.

They became very aggressive, opened all their cards and were sent home packing.
