Indian chowmein tastes the best, when you are actually present, near the hawker, watching it get made.
Of course you are hungry. You see a chinese stall, with decent looking people wearing full sleeved shirts, with IT company lanyards around their necks, polishing off their plates. Enough positive signals for you to partake in.
You tell the wiry looking guy, you need one half plate, he barely registers your request, as he is busy murdering the noodles with hellfire. His forehead glistening with sweat, in the light of a petromax.
You patiently wait, as fumes of various spices enter your nostrils. Suddenly the guy throws a handful of veggies in his cauldron, they scream as they touch the red hot surface. Then he slaps the base of a bottle to emit questionable chilli sauce, while the stove hisses fire. Then all of it’s tossed with violence. Endlessly. You get hungrier.
Each time you think, maybe it’s done. He tosses it again. It’s less of cooking and more of a performance, a ticketed show, in which you get a complimentary plate of veg chowmein with a spelling mistake. Nothing elevates the taste of Indian street food more than a typo.
Everyone around the stall is just watches it get made, nobody is checking their phone. After JCB digging, this is the 2nd most watchable thing on the streets.
Then finally it’s done. Half plates come out from a tub, being manned by a teenage helper from the same village, then magically, the chowmein walah, distributes the Kadhaai-ful of noodles equally in all half-plates. Someone throws in some freshly cut onion on top. And then it’s served to you with a fork planted in it. Onions taste like apples, sweet, when had with this half plate spice bomb. Don’t miss.
@AnshulGains Harsh way to put it but the core point is valid, emotional eating is one of the biggest barriers we see clinically and teaching patients to separate mood from food choices is genuinely harder than fixing the diet itself.
Keeping your vehicle for 15+ years with proper maintenance is one of the best ways to reduce actual pollution.
Forcing a new purchase isn’t. Building a new vehicle generates significant emissions.
Let people maintain their cars for as long as possible, and let new car purchases happen organically, not by force / fat bills / fat re-registration charges.
These aren’t protein bars these are meal replacement bars. Eat only on those days when you have to skip your meal due to circumstances like travelling or something.
These bars aren’t snacks or something to be eaten to complete protein intake.
This whole Messi tour to India is the cringiest thing I have seen this country participate in a long time.
There is no serious Football match, where we get to see Messi’s real skill. Everyone using Messi as a prop, as a shiny thing, to project their own importance. Their level of access. Be it Ed Sheeran. Coldplay. Or any new placeholder. It’s a naked display of our corruption, our sycophancy, our slavery, our politics. A real black pill for all the believers of new India.
@IndiGo6E Pathetic to even belive you folks at Indigo a on time service provider to go to such a pitfall in cancellation and not provide alternative. Not considering your airline in the near future.
