We decided that we will not welcome cops on this instance, and we encourage the rest of the fediverse to do the same.

Thank you ! :trebuchet:

I have often wondered... those dresses worn by models on the ramp and at exhibitions like this #ChristianDior one I visited in Denver... do people actually wear them? 🤔

I’m interested in everything and anything linked to Hyderabad and Telangana, my workplaces, and also about my homestate, Kerala. Also, photography, Royal Enfield bikes and Apple products...
