World-class dining meets home-cooked comfort: Dal Chawal at The French Laundry!
The best kind of irony at one of Napa’s most celebrated restaurants: our Head Chef, Pradeep, and our Sommelier were both Indian, and Pradeep surprised us with a special waran bhat add-on course! 😁

Looking back, this was such a crazy-good start to MD’s birthday celebrations. 🥂🎂 Proof that longevity isn’t just about strict diets - it’s about the joy of connection, celebrating the moment, and remembering that true nourishment always includes food for the soul.

Very grateful to Thomas Keller and The French Laundry. Special thanks to Chef Pradeep and his team for taking such great care of us. And special thanks to Rupali Dean for making it happen. @_TFL_

Happy 20th Anniversary SpiceJet. What a great video and collaboration with Malaika Arora Khan. Loved it! @flyspicejet

[SpiceJet @flyspicejet]

Kursi Ki Peti Baandh Lo! 📣📣
SpiceJet reimagines the in-flight safety demo with the energy of hip hop—featuring the iconic Malaika Arora and the creative force of Amazon miniTV’s Hip Hop India Season 2.

Because when safety meets style, people actually pay attention.
This film blends awareness and entertainment to make safety engaging, memorable—and impossible to ignore.💃🏻

Note: This is a creative representation and does not replace the mandatory onboard safety briefing.

[Trains of India 🇮🇳 @trainwalebhaiya]

Swach Bharat Abhiyan ft Indian Railways!!
Regular scene in almost 99% of the trains running in IR, Not sure about protocols but this is failure of system, Thousands of tonnes of waste dumped daily on tracks,
Who should be held accountable for this? @RailMinIndia @RailwaySeva

How do I unsee video of a 14-year-old boy dying in his father's arms a month after a stray dog bit him... He was scared, didn't tell his parents and died of #rabies. Now that people value dogs more than humans and don't want any solution, rabies vaccines should be mandatory.

Flying premium economy by @airvistara and the line was taking forever so I requested the lady at the business class to check us in since it was empty and Geetanjali refused a tad bit too rudely! ‘I am doing my duty’, she said ! Give me a break ! How about being polite atleast!

[Chitra Narayanan @ndcnn]

The three chefs - Chef Hanisha who runs Plats in Delhi, Chef Shreeya Adka who runs The French Door in Coimbatore & Chef Sneha Singhi who ran Paris Cafe in Kolkata & is now an F& B consultant shared how they broke into this male dominated domain. Amazing stories. @TheLeelaHotels

[Chitra Narayanan @ndcnn]

About last night! Marvellous initiative by @RUPALIDEAN & @deanakanksha along with @TheLeelaHotels to celebrate & give a platform to women chefs or "Shefs" as they term it. Three young Shefs running restaurants in Coimbatore, Delhi & Kolkata showed us their culinary talent.

I replied with a proud smile “because we are Indians” after I overheard the Heathrow staff wonderingly asking his mate”how can they afford 1st class?”
