This is how the Govt treats a 60 yr old Magsaysay awardee on his 20 days fast against Paper Leak

This is world Largest Democracy INDIA

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

My Dida was from Banaras, and waxed eloquent about Ramnagar ke Baingan till her last days. Her Laung Lata would melt in your mouth, crisp, flaky, glossy with syrup. My favourite Lassi shop in the country is Raja Ram Lassi Wala in Thateri Galli, lekin Banaras is not just my Dida’s - Banaras is also the 'ras' which Ustaad Bismillah Khan's shehnai took from this city and released into the world. He lived in Dal Mandi. In his last years, every night, his dinner was the mutton istew from Taj Hotel. I know this not because I read it. I know this because I went there, and I shot this story.
I shoot food-shows.

I have been to Lucknow many times - I've eaten the delightful sublime Makhhan Malai but also the delightful sublime Galawati Kabab, the Khasta and the Chaat but also the silken Nihari and warm Sheermal.
Also a most delicious cup of chai with Samosa, the chutney with the samosa was so tasty I still remember it, a simple chutney. 
I've never eaten anything in UP that has not been delicious. I have said this often. The land is blessed.

Moradabadi Dal and Moradabadi Biryani both make it to my to-eat list, why should they not? They are both delicious.
Kanpur Dehat is where I have eaten the best Bater. And I have also eaten - with equal gusto - Thaggu ke Laddu and Badnam Kulfi in Kanpur.
In Firozabad I have bought red glass bangles and eaten Naan Ghosht.
Kakori ki Train Robbery aur Kabab - dono lists se gayab hain.
If you go to Rampur, eat the Taar Ghosht, also eat the Adrak ka halwa.

The Ganga and the Yamuna have fed this land with love. The produce is so delicious. Even the Karela that grows in that blessed soil is sweet.

That blessed soil doesn’t grow Soya chaap.

I have never eaten Cake in Noida.

There is a particular grief in being erased not by violence but by omission.
To have fed a city for three hundred years and to find yourself, one Tuesday morning, absent from a ’list’s idea of what that city eats.
Erase voters names from voter-lists, erase dishes from culinary maps. Both voters and recipes will continue to exist.

I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.

Arguably, the greatest Indian to have ever lived.

Happy #AmbedkarJayanti to all.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, I stand in solidarity with trans men, trans women, Hijra, kinner, intersex, and non-binary communities across India - from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from the Northeast to the coasts, from our villages and small towns to our biggest cities.

Across languages, cultures, and regions, your lives and contributions are woven into the fabric of our society.

Today is a moment to affirm respect, dignity, and equal rights for all. We must continue building a country where every person can live openly, safely, and with pride.

Jis desh ka pradhaan mantri non-biological hai us desh ka yuva non-binary kyun nahin ho sakta?

Unfortunately, I’m not a morning person, and as I get older, I’m no longer a night owl, so I’ve realized I’m basically a college professor during office hours, reachable between 11:30 and 12:30 or 3 and 4, or not at all.

A sinister element in this trans bill is how it seeks to isolate a trans individual from any kind of community. By criminalizing "those who infleunce a person to be trans" it cuts transpeople off from doctors, healthcare workers, NGOs, and even individuals. Pure evil this

The amount of water you actually need to drink to be hydrated is so obscene. Who does this body think it is? A data center?

I do find this just amazing

Are the developers at Outlook happy with their search function?

Multiple confirmed reports, and Israel isn’t even denying it: they’re severely brutalising Greta Thunberg, the most famous living Swede, after abducting her in international waters. And Sweden? Nothing. No expelled ambassador, no sanctions, no action at all.
