When ‘Minnal Murali‘ made it to an engineering examination

A question paper on Mechanics of Fluids from a Kothamangalam engineering college has as many as 15 questions involving the Malayalam superhero.
How often does one come across a question paper with a disclaimer that the story, names, characters, and incidents are all fictitious? And that too one set for engineering students.
The second-year mechanical engineering students of Mar Athanasius College of Engineering (MACE), Kothamangalam, who took their third-semester exam on Mechanics of Fluids on Tuesday came across one such. If that wasn’t surprising enough, there was more in store as the questions were weaved around stories and characters drawn liberally from the film universe of the director Basil Joseph, including his latest global OTT superhero blockbuster Minnal Murali.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
