Big thanks to @WritersSalon and the 100 day writing challenge for getting me to this point 🫶

Just look at our feast for Onam! I was simply an observer in the making of every item on the leaf, but very grateful for the chance to enjoy this with family. Happy Onam everyone 🌸🪷

I’ve been a little quiet on Substack but I’m on my way back. I’ve been in Kerala for the last couple of weeks and have been learning a few recipes from home. Like this sardine curry which is more of an emotion than just sustenance. Can’t wait to recreate this at home in London!

@dinasfoodstory Homegrown always tastes so good, a flavour you can’t get in shop bought varieties. Looks lovely Dina 🍇

Challenging your mates on their behaviour towards women doesn’t spell the end of your friendships. It can make them stronger.

Great to chat to @RomeshRanga about why he wanted to use his voice—and his stage—to help combat violence against women & girls, and amplify our campaign.

Said brownies! Never regret teaching kids how to cook 😋

[Archana Ambily (she/her) @AAmbily]

School’s out for the teen. She’s making brownies and singing whilst she’s doing it. I smiled when I heard her as it means she’s truly carefree. But then a sneaky thought crept in… Is this the honeymoon period of the summer hols ?? 🫣 I guess we’ll find out soon enough… TBC…

I really believe that for us to tackle toxic masculinity we have to raise all our children as the same, and instead of thinking ‘how to raise boys’ (or girls) we need to focus on ‘how to raise good humans’ beyond bias and norms. This is what I really believe.
