I think in every millennial’s childhood, like mine, biryani was familiar only during festivals or occasions like weddings and housewarmings. But it seems biryani has become more widespread in the last couple of decades. According to online food delivery platforms like Zomato and Swiggy, even in 2020, biryani is consistently the most ordered dish by…

I think one of the simplest and biggest reasons which prevented people from travelling in the past was that they did not know how to carry their cash, their wealth, with them. Later, with currency that problem was resolved, but the thing which truly strikes me with wonder is the use of digital wallets and…

We all have some really special memories of school life. One such memory from my school archives is the way we shared tiny bits of sweetness among our friends inside the classroom. I used to sit on the centre benches of classrooms, especially in high school, and I often keep candy in my pocket. When…

A few weeks back I was travelling to another city and happened to park my car on the side of the road while booking a hotel at night. Unexpectedly, a bike rider hit my car. I saw him being flung off the bike and come crashing down. I thought he was dead. Lots of people…

Social dogma influences us, knowingly or unknowingly, to chase the moon and mountains where peaks are always being celebrated and recognized and glorified, and we often forget about the lush, green, beautiful valleys. Valleys are equally desirable, appreciable, and worth chasing – as great as the mountains. At the experiential level when we all try…

After almost a year, I visited a beach in the morning, it was comparatively calm and empty. Some people were doing their morning exercises and jogging near the pavements, the municipal workers were also around doing their regular morning cleaning. Something I noticed predominantly in their waste collection bags were the many disposable face masks….

I used to have orange juice for breakfast for many years, a routine that later changed because of the change in my lifestyle. Orange still remains one of my favourite fruits, though. There are times when I go to juice shops and ask for the menu and they say they have this and that, and…
