Confused b/w Colaba Canteen and Ikk Punjab to take my parents to for Lunch

I am living here temporarily and my parents are coming this Sunday for lunch. I have heard highly of both of these restaurants. Budget isn’t an issue, i just want my parents to have a good time.

Which one would you recommend if you were in my place?

Or some upscale restaurant that i should know of?

Once again Himachali Locals Harassing Innocent Tourist Family in Manali

Once again Local Himachali harassed innocent families in Manali. I understand that many Himachalis feel frustrated because some tourists from Punjab, Haryana, or Delhi drive recklessly in Himachal. You have every right to call out that behavior. But you do not have the right to assault anyone.

And this superiority complex of "we are from Himachal" needs to stop. I still remember the incident in Dharamshala during the June holidays last year When Local residents killed an innocent man from Hoshiarpur, Punjab.

There’s also a lot of stereotyping. When some Himachalis stereotype Punjabis, it’s ignored. But when the same happens in reverse, especially regarding how Himachali women behave in Chandigarh, people get offended. Isn’t that hypocrisy?

For the record, I agree that fetishizing Pahadi women by some Punjabi men is wrong. I’ve called it out myself on the Punjab subreddit whenever I’ve seen it.

More than half of your population lives in Kharar, Mohali, and Chandigarh, yet some still show audacity to hate us. Have an ounce of some shame. And to those who say "Chandigarh is a UT" — it didn’t fall from the sky. People of Punjab gave their land for it.

You absolutely have the right to call out tourists who create a ruckus. But you do not have the right to assault innocent people.

I call out wrongdoing no matter who does it — Punjabi, Haryanvi, or Himachali. If I’m posting this, it’s not to create hate, but to call out behavior that needs to change.

Learn to Take accountability Rather than always Blaming Tourist .To those who think having fair skin or being from Himachal Pradesh makes them superior to others: it's time to rethink that mindset. Pride should come from your character, values, achievements, and how you treat people—not from the color of your skin or where you were born. Looking down on others because of physical features or regional identity only reflects a narrow and outdated mentality.

Not trying to stir any controversy, but lately, this country seems COOKED!

I have always been proud to be an Indian, but lately, everything and everyone that made our country unique seems to be falling apart. I am not going to talk about any abstract fads, but rather plain events across the news that have been making this country feel increasingly frustrated and suffocated by the day.

1. Mob Justice in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand In the last 24 hours, I came across two different news articles, one from Himachal Pradesh (Kullu) and another from Uttarakhand (Rishikesh), wherein a tourist family (husband, wife, and kids) was harassed and nearly beaten by locals because their car had grazed another person's vehicle. In the second case, some youth from Haryana were allegedly harassing an underage girl and were beaten up by a mob. However, the woman later appeared on a news channel stating that neither she nor her daughter was being harassed, and that they were simply having a discussion when the mob began attacking them. I do not know the full truth, but whatever it may be, is it not the job of the police to intervene? Is stripping someone naked and taking the law into our own hands ever justifiable?

2. The Never-Ending NEET Paper Leak Scandal I started college in 2015, and since then I can recall five separate instances, in 2015, 2016, 2021, 2024, and 2026, in which the NEET paper was leaked. The most prestigious entrance exam in the country, conducted by the National Testing Agency, has been compromised repeatedly. I would love to have a discussion in the comments about what actually happened to the individuals who leaked the paper in each of those years, if anyone has credible reports. Were these networks ever fully exposed and dismantled?

3. Dowry-Related Deaths in 2026 There were two separate cases of dowry-related deaths reported from Noida and Madhya Pradesh. This is 2026 and this is still our reality?

4. The Rise and Alleged Suppression of "Cockroach Janta Party" In one of the largest democracies in the world, the youth protested after the Chief Justice of India reportedly referred to the unemployed youth of the country as "cockroaches." They may have clarified that it was not a generalised statement, but was it dignified coming from someone holding such a prominent position? And then there was the brutal backlash against the creator of the protest page, with the spreading of rumours, fake links, tweets about university expulsions, and ultimately the deletion of their account on X. Seriously? Is this what democracy looks like?

I began this post by saying that I am proud to be an Indian, and I truly am. But the truth is that the youth is frustrated. People are not getting jobs. Inflation has remained persistently high. Pollution is so rampant that simply living in Delhi NCR has become a legitimate health hazard. These are real problems. Let us have a discussion in the comments, a civilised one where everyone presents their views. Let us talk about more incidents, more reforms that need to be implemented, and what is driving our country to this point. Also, lets talk about the incidents which are making India's name shine globally.

TLDR: Drop your thoughts in the comments. What recent events have made you feel suffocated in this country? And what still gives you a reason to be proud of it? Let's have a civilised discussion.

Adulting was fun until we had to figure out how people actually find house help 🥲

Just moved into our first home together and have absolutely zero clue how to find a maid. Where do people even start?? Neither of us grew up managing house help, our parents always handled it. Now we're adulting in a new city with no society aunty network, no references, nothing. How do people actually find reliable house help??

Is posting what I write in this subreddit is wrong?

Recently, I posted two poems that I wrote myself. They were completely original content and were not harmful to anyone, but the moderator still removed my posts from the feed without giving any reason.

Birthdays never felt soo different till now!

Birthdays were soo different back then, used to wait for it for whole month and now i dont feel like celebrating one. But Grateful for another year. Life has changed but God has been kind. I wish i could go back in Time. When i used to be a kid back then, i used to demand gifts from mom/dad now the only wish i made to god this birthday was good health for my parents. Feels like a dream how my parents have been superheroes for me all my life and now i’m always worried about their health, aren’t superheroes supposed to live forever?
