Growing up in India where English was not my native language, I heard the word "cheers" only when villains in old Indian movies plotted their evil plans while sharing a few drinks with their friends.
Later, when watching cricket, I heard Australian players always ended post-match interviews with "Cheers, mate!" especially Ricky Ponting after scoring yet another century against India, so I continued to believe "cheers" was mainly used by "villains".
Now I've come full circle - ending many of my texts and emails with "Cheers".

It's kind of ironic that the word "rhythm", is so unrhythmic to type on the qwerty keyboard due to its lack of vowels and unusual combination of keys.

These days we blame social media for keeping kids glued to screens when they should be playing outside instead.
But I remember during the 90s and early 2000s, Cartoon Network and other kids' channels played their best kids shows in the evening just when kids should have been outside.
What is new is old.

Indian festivals are essentially cooking and eating hackathons.
