    The assumption here that agriculture is cruelty and tear free because text books tell us that our vegetables and grains are grown by happy and prosperous farmers.

    Since my days in Bombay are numbered now, who'd be interested in a thread on some of Bombay's best restaurants/eateries? Promise you I am going to put my 8 years of experience into this.

    This is the best bhalla papdi there is in Delhi...in Tees Hazari Court. A satisfying plate for Rs 50. I get to eat it thanks to my sister who is a lawyer. And on that note, here's a #Delhi food 🧵. All data collected from my 1.6 years of eating in the city.

    Half of the men on dating apps are jumping from the plane/mountain, the other half are climbing up the mountain in their motorcycles. Are there any mid-30s/40s men who want to stay on the ground ffs and want a little less adrenaline rush?

    Butter Chicken is the most average and uninspiring chicken dish to exist and it's a travesty that it represents Indian food in the western world.

    Replying to @shirinmehrotra
    Let me start with a favourite then...my absolute favourite for misal-pav, kothimbir vadi and other Maharashtrian snacks - Tambe Arogya Bhavan in Dadar near Kabutarkhana. It's over 75 years old now and gives the typical old khanaval kind of feel.
