Saturday Feeling: Sweets and snacks we love | Mint (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When my niece first visited India once she could talk and walk, she discovered an entirely new family meal that wasn’t known in America. “Is it snack time?” she’d enquire hopefully every time she saw everyone gravitating towards the dining table. Sadly, for me as well as her, it came just once a day at 5pm. Murrukus in various shapes and sizes, ribbon pakoda, omapudi, kara boondi, homemade pori or roasted and flavoured puffed rice, thick-cut banana chips (from A1 Chips in Coimbatore and nowhere
Saturday Feeling: The unexpected joy and chaos of travelling the old-fashioned way | Mint (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have to say I find the image we used on the cover of the print issue of Mint Lounge this week (cover below), rather amusing. Not so long ago, those “analogue” items were the essentials I carried when I travelled—a map or two, notebook filled with information about what to see and do, sleek Canon digital camera, a guidebook or if you couldn’t afford Lonely Planet, xeroxed pages from it. You couldn’t Google on the go because international roaming rates were prohibitive and it’s probably hard to
Saturday Feeling: How climate change is endangering Indian crafts | Mint (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Traditional Indian methods of creating and making are often held up as an example of sustainable living, of circular practices, and of countering climate change. But we rarely think of the ways in which climate change is itself disrupting these methods of production. In Kutch, for instance, long periods of unseasonal rain don’t give ajrakh printers enough time to dry their hand-blocked fabrics. In Assam, high temperatures destroy silkworm cocoons and put the livelihoods of muga silk weavers at r
Saturday Feeling: Gulzar’s Mumbai and the poetry of cities | Mint (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this age of hybrid work and unbroken connectivity, we can live anywhere, work elsewhere, direct events in a third place, and take a course that’s at the other end of the world. Where we are located no longer matters because technology has freed us from the confines of one place and allowed us to move to a peaceful hill or hide in a clean cave and still live urbanised lives. Yet, that’s not entirely true, is it? Data shows that talent, innovation, creativity, ideation, money and opportunity ar
Saturday Feeling: For Gen Z, freedom is about living without fear | Mint (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the first films I watched soon after I finished college and started work—living alone in a new city as a reporter and with friends to take up every free moment—was Dil Chahta Hai. Bangalore of the early 2000s was far removed from Sydney, Mumbai or Goa, but as Raja Sen writes of the film that released 25 years ago, it was “an advertisement for the youth we wanted”, even though we had it far, far better than most our peers. “You have it so good” has tended to be the prevailing sentiment whe
