Me waiting for the deadline to get dangerously close so my brain finally decides this task is worth doing.

How many of us actually speak to autowala in Marathi even when we know they understand it? Most of us switch to Hindi without even thinking.
For years we asked them to learn Marathi. Many of them have done exactly that. If we still choose to speak Hindi, then the fault is ours, not theirs. I feel its good initiative by govt,Now its our turn to do ours.

The first page of every notebook looks like its about to change my life.

I can hear the tiniest background noises that everyone else seems to ignore…
…but somehow my brain filters out the person who’s actually trying to get my attention.
Does anyone else experience this?

We grew up believing Old Monk was one of the most iconic Indian rums. Then I came across information that it may contain only a small amount of actual rum, with the rest being neutral spirit (Vodka),
It means we were drinking flavoured vodka for years

This has to be one of the biggest “today I learned” moments I have had in a long time

I know his intention is right, but I dont think this is the right approach.
Instead of banning vada pav and ice cream vendors near schools, why not teach kids about healthy eating? Schools can put up awareness posters, include basic nutrition, and help children make better food choices.
If the real aim is better food quality, then why not ban ice creams made with vegetable fat or juices made from concentrate? Those are available everywhere too.
And while we are at it, lets not forget many vendors depend on school crowds for their livelihood. I just feel education and better food regulations would be far more effective than a blanket ban.

City never disappoints. One minute you’re rushing to catch the metro. The next minute you see a monkey casually eating a banana like it’s just another weekday.
