The new Adani-led T2 at Guwahati Airport looks impressive—great décor and a smart facelift. But passenger delight? Patchy mobile network inside the terminal and non-functional air-conditioning !
Anyone listening? @AAI_Official @GuwahatiAirport

Bhooter Bhobisyaat will remain as one the most gripping and engaging films made in any Indian language in the last 25 years. A film, where you blink and miss the pun! Rest in peace, Anik Dutta.

Luchi.....!! Unsung hero of Bengali indulgence!

[Pratim D Gupta @PratimDGupta]

Taste Atlas, what in the actual name of culinary heresy is this?! Three Indian dishes crack the top 50 best breakfasts in the world, and they’re Misal Pav at a suspiciously generous 18th, Paratha slumming it at 23rd, and Chole Bhature wheezing in at 32nd?

I mean, come on! I respect the attempt at democracy in global taste buds, but this ranking feels like it was decided by a panel that’s never once woken up to the quiet poetry of a proper Bengali dawn. None of these heavyweights can hold a ladle, not even a teaspoon, to the luminous glory of Luchi with Shada Aloor Torkari or the transcendent Koraishutir Kochuri with Cholar Daal. None. Zip. Zero.

My Bengali soul is personally offended on behalf of every mother who ever rolled out dough at 7 in the morning.

Misal Pav? It’s a fiery, sprout-laden explosion from Maharashtra—spicy, tangy, pav soaked in that usal gravy like it’s trying to wake the dead. Fine for a chaotic Sunday brunch when you want your sinuses cleared or have stocked up on too many bottles of Aqua Ptychotis.

Paratha? Fine but which paratha? The thick North Indian stuffed paratha that sits in your belly like a warm brick? Or the flaky, buttery, layered lachcha version that’s basically edible architecture? They can all be delicious, sure, but this is a vague entry. Almost like an all-encompassing tick mark in the India box.

Chole Bhature? Those deep-fried maida balloons that puff up like edible clouds paired with chickpeas swimming in an indigestible masala is perhaps the best of the three entries. They’re crowd-pleasers, loud, bold, Instagram-ready. They shout. They conquer. They dominate the plate.

But Bengali breakfast? It doesn’t need to shout. It whispers. It seduces. It wraps around your soul like a soft gamchha on a winter morning.

Take Luchi with Shada Aloor Torkari. Maida dough rolled whisper-thin, dropped into hot oil, and blooming into a perfect, golden orb of puff. Crisp on the outside, feather-light and hollow inside, so delicate it almost feels like it might float away if you don’t pin it down with your fingers. And then the shada aloor torkari—white potato cubes, deliberately kept pale and gentle, no turmeric staining it yellow, no garam masala throwing a tantrum. Just simmered with a kiss of nigella seeds, green chillies, and maybe a hint of cumin. It’s humble. It’s comforting. It’s the culinary equivalent of a jadoo ki jhappi. One bite and you’re home.

And then there’s Koraishutir Kochuri with Cholar Daal. This is the undisputed champion, the breakfast that deserves a throne, a crown, and its own national holiday. Kochuri—those little puffed breads stuffed with a fragrant mash of fresh green peas, green chillies, and just enough spice to make your nose tingle with joy. The peas burst with sweetness and earthiness inside that crisp, golden shell. And the cholar daal? Cooked to creamy perfection, lightly sweetened with a touch of sugar, tempered with hing, whole red chillies, and coconut slivers that add this subtle, nutty depth. It’s sweet-savory, silky, soul-stirring. Every bite is a love letter from Bengal’s kitchens. Balanced, nuanced, never overwhelming.

Misal Pav might wake you up like a brass band; Paratha and Chole Bhature might fill you like a victory feast. But Luchi-Shada Aloor or Koraishutir Kochuri-Cholar Daal? They nourish. They linger. They remind you that true greatness in food isn’t measured by how loudly it shouts on a global list. It’s measured by how deeply it warms to your heart.

@_TheEnigmous Which 3 constituencies in Paschim Bardhaman you feel BJP stand to win?

The IPL governing body might want to consider an “exit window” for franchises keen to bow out midway—at least fans of the @KKRiders could be spared this prolonged agony. Venky may well share tips on boss management!

[Rajib Chatterjee @RajibChatterjee]

The good thing about this KKR team is that within the first 5-7 overs of the match, it become abundantly clear they will lose! Precious time gets saved, which is properly utilized in watching Insta reels! 😆

@DRM_DDU @RailwaySeva What does PNR and contact number has to do! Just check the status of running train and come out of denial. Train 22304.

[Rajib Chatterjee @RajibChatterjee]

So something as fancy as Vande Bharat (22304) is now running late by more 110 minutes. No announcement, no prior information to passengers. The hype looking unreal already. @AshwiniVaishnaw @RailMinIndia @RailwaySeva

@SBICard_Connect cheque payment done on 10th October against card dues. Today is 22nd Oct and the chq is supposedly still on clearing and credits are not passed. Complains to customer care gives standard mechanical answers. What pathetic service! Any accountability here?@RBI

[Rajib Chatterjee @RajibChatterjee]

@SBICard_Connect Have provided all details. No contact so far. @RBI

[Rajib Chatterjee @RajibChatterjee]

@TheOfficialSBI More than 10 days and a local cheque is not realized and credited to card account. What type of services you commit to customers? Pathetic. Is there any redressal mechanism at all? Fed up writing to your customer care. @RBI
