Ōsensei - a 2 to 5 player Japan-inspired strategy card game that I developed from scratch

Players battle with seasons and mystical Yokai. The last player standing becomes Ōsensei (the grandmaster)

to put phones away and create memories with friends and family

For Deepika and me, Ōsensei is more than just a game. It’s the culmination of countless evenings spent learning, play testing and building something from scratch

Look forward to sharing this journey with all of you

For nearly three decades, my professional journey has been rooted in restaurants and creating experiences that bring people together. Today, I’m excited to share something completely different — and deeply personal

While the rules are easy to learn, the gameplay is layered with strategy, timing, risk, and player interaction

What excites us most isn’t just creating games

It’s creating reasons for people to gather around a table - to laugh, to compete, to tell stories,

Happy to share Chowder Singh now ranks No 1 on certain keywords on Google.

No 1 on Google is never easy. Top 10 is considered excellent and Top 5 brilliant.

These are smaller keywords with lesser traffic, but it’s important to win the smaller battles first.

Went back to Nagpur Hotel in Sadashiv Peth #Pune after 12 years. Glad to see them maintain their standards. They serve Saoji style of food and their Mutton Rassa and Fry are delicious. Served with jowar chi bhakri, which’s made on charcoal.

One of Pune’s hidden gems

[Mohit Balachandran @ChowderSingh]

The Bolhai chi Mutton is a #Pune phenomenon. In Pune and surrounding areas of Ahmednagar and Satara. Hindu owned restaurants serve sheep and not goat meat. Goat meat is forbidden according to local customs

Oh Pune! How much I’ve missed you

So happy to be back at Nagpur Hotel after 12 years. Bigger fancier places have opened up around it, but this little gem continues to do what it does best - Bholaichi mutton fry with jowar chi bhakri

Hmmm!! Interesting thought - Idli Pattice

[Mohammed Futurewala @MFuturewala]

The divine combination of Idli and Wada Pav gives birth to Idli Pattice in Pune:)
