Awesome video once again.

[@krishashok]

Thank you

[@KartikKumar-hc5iz]

@@krishashok - Keep up the good work. There are many left who still appreciate content made with good, thorough research like yours, instead of sensational clickbaity content.

[@ahdid6105]

Interesting trivia. I think Kalam in Abdul Kalam refers to the Arabic word for speech. (كلام) It's common to praise a person with speech skills. Qalam (قلم) pen or stick also makes sense. Both are utilities to knowledge.

[@absawa]

Yes, Abdul Kalam's name is kalam with the root k-l-m. Urdu, Persian, Arabic, and even Egyptian Arabic wikipedia uses كلام. Either way, is there any sources to find out how APJ Kalam wrote his name in Arabic or Tamil Arvi, cause Tamil makes no distinction between q and k.

[@suchithraravi7781]

Wow.. So many familiar terms in this video that were all interconnected and we had no idea! Just mind-blowing! 🤯

[@ShahidKhan-qw8yk]

You are an amazing guy , Short but so good. Thank you.

This was fascinatingly fantastic. Also, squid tastes great.

[@shamnahusman6175]

This was fun! I was once in a Malaysian mall where they served squid ink juice and this video brought back those memories.

[@krishashok]

Ah!

[@cavenavasagam6461]

Amazing as always. Another history lesson. 🙏

[@Banzybanz]

Etymology such an interesting subject.

[@AuthorJiteshDonga]

I love you more day by day. ❤🎉 Thank you for existing. Long back one TCS guy had told your name. He reported to you. He said you are very differently kind person. Thank you for sharing knowledge so kindly and beautifully 😅

[@krishashok]

hehe thank you!

[@sohamdas]

Differently kind person? Like differently abled? Which I always related as having a limb in another dimension thus is invisible in our dimension.

[@dmandal.jaalcar]

I find it remarkable that although South India has a wonderfully rich platter of indigenous dishes featuring fish and meat, yet the only food with which it is identified is vegetarian Idli-dosa-vada. Not that I am against vegetarian Idli-dosa-vada, but isn't it shameful that the food habits of a small part of the population (mainly Brahmins or Sanskritized Non-Brahmins) are highlighted so much that the culinary traditions of all other South Indians simply get erased from public knowledge?

[@vaishalihardikar6069]

It's not about vegetarians or Brahmins or non- Brahmins. The fact why idli, dosa is popular is because of the affordability, availablity of the food and the Udupi restaurants which are spread all over the country who serve this food. Another point is that an average indian doesn't consume nonveg food in his everyday meals.

[@krishashok]

It also has to do with the fact that brahmins traveled more widely outside in the past and the role of Udupi restaurants in introducing eating out as a concept. An additional thing is the "impurity" attached to eating meat or seafood in India that has made "non-veg" restaurants truly popular only rather recently. I think the wider cuisine of south india will eventually become well known over time.

[@raviv7484]

Idli dosa and vada are also unique in their shape, taste and composition from a lot of other world cuisine. Note that the more brahminical kozhakattai has a lot of semblances to dumplings. Donuts are nowhere close to vada. On the contrary most popular “Indian dish” that comes first to mind to non-Indian westerners is chicken tikka masala. Ain’t nothin to do with Brahmins. Sad to see vegetarian/anti-Brahmin sentiment trending.

[@matlepak9694]

I can't be sure how accurate that all was but it was every gun to learn those little things 😃

Wah !! 🎉

[@prathimarao190]

Interesting information, Ashok. Was wondering why people in very hot regions like Rajasthan, Andhra & Telangana use chillies a lot (maybe even garlic & oils / ghee) in their cooking. Why have fire inside the body and outside of it?!! Shouldn't they be using less chillies / garlic / oil / ghee to compensate for the heat outside? Any thoughts about this, Ashok? Thanks! 😊

[@krishashok]

Chillies make you sweat and that cools you down

[@yvs0911]

awesome video

Hello! Can you make a video on henna for hair dyeing. Also, to know deeply what all ingredients we can add to it. Is it ok to add lemon/ curd. To know from chemistry point of view. Though, we know the results by experience. Thankyou

[@manoranjan769]

All though one of my favourite sea food is cuttle fish / squid but is this healthy to consume on & off...??

[@MrSur512]

Abdul Kalam ❤❤❤

[@lilmonster90210]

wow! i always casually thought calamari was named like how beef / pork is named. an invented word simply to dissociate from a sentient animal. INK POT is so much cooler!

[@krishashok]

hehe yeah

That is some excellent info. Thank you for enlightening us in such an entertaining way. Next time get calamari with my beer I will have to remember Mr Kalam.

[@jayadeepnayak6582]

Does Overnight Stale Chapati has More Goodness over freshly prepared Chapatis?

[@BharatiLahiri-he7qu]

The "kalam" of Abdul Kalam is "kalaam", meaning "speech" or "words". The Arabic (borrowed in Persian, Urdu, Bangla etc.) word for pen is "qalam", not "kalaam".

[@krishashok]

I am aware - the caption when i show the president says that. The point is that the etymological root is the same!

[@JayaTeja96]

You won't stop amazing me, would you ❤!

[@krishashok]

hehe

[@absawa]

The word qalam (قلم) , kalam (كلام) aren't related afaik. Qalam has its roots in Greek, where as kalam is of native Arabic origin. I doubt they're related etymologically.

[@krishashok]

Yes, some people did tell me but I checked with a linguist and he believes the root word is still the proto-indo-european word k-l-m

[@Alpha-Cheeno]

​@@krishashok Therefore, Dutch airline KLM also has a link to calamari.

[@sohamdas]

😂😂

[@maddychechu]

Sir , can you please let me know your mail id ? Where can we post our doubts / questions to you ?

[@salahsabri2925]

Sorry to interrupt Qalam (Pen) is the same you are referring to. Kalam ( APJ ABDUL kalam) is different word.

[@krishashok]

Different words. Same proto-indo-european root word. Pen is often associated with writing/word and literature

[@Alpha-Cheeno]

What do former President APJ Kalam, Dutch airline KLM & calamari have in common? Watch this video for the answer!

[@s.adams239]

I get so much crap from my north indian in laws for cooking squid. All they eat is chicken.

[@krishashok]

It's sometimes hard for people to eat things they have never experienced before, particularly seafood but squid is sooo amazing

[@s.adams239]

@@krishashok true

[@pia31415]

Would you eat a Chimpamzee?? Squid and Octopus are as intelligent as them. They dream, they get bored, they play and they plan for the future. Stop eating these wonderful and sentient creatures. 🙏
