Just for a second entertain the possibility, that this generation is able to visualise a country…that my dumbass generation and the one above us forgot. We idealistically thought of it, and forgot it quick. Distracted by life and prosperity. Maybe it’s because they’ve grown up documenting and broadcasting their entire life. So they’ve had a good look at themselves during formative years. Assessed their values, albeit to showcase them. Which we weren’t able to do. So they are possibly more sure of themselves at this age, which seems completely alien to us. It’s possible.
How old were you when you first heard of Tunday?
For most of us, it was long before we ever visited Lucknow.
In this episode of Tikki Talk, I sit down with Usman bhai to talk about the kebabs, the legacy, and the one-handed legend who started it all.

We lost my father-in-law this week. So we did all the things. The ICU, hospital, ambulance, cremation, Haridwar, wake, prayer meet and more. We gather, an Indian gathering is a beautiful and chaotic thing. We gather around a body, we gather around an ambulance everyone screaming instructions, we gather around a fire in silence, then we gather in some sort of line like whispering air hostesses doing namaste as people gather around us. Empty houses become full, flying in, popping by, dropping off, picking up. Non stop traffic of people coming through and trying to find things to do for you so that they can feel useful. Hellos are quick, conversations are long, goodbyes take forever. Everyone is simultaneously late and early. There are reunions, fights settled, new fights started, everyone is dramatic, everyone is starving, everyone is getting up to give a seat to someone. More laughter than tears. You drink, eat, socialise, gossip, carb up and sugar up, more than you have in a decade…because someone is no longer with you. Then everyone goes home three kilos heavier. Maybe that’s where the people who pass go. That’s what the afterlife is. Them living on in multiple peoples bodies, three kilos a piece.
Is “coo” the new way of saying “cool”?
Saw a bunch of GenZ colleagues using it. Then someone my age used it on me yesterday and I suddenly felt so old 😭
Love (and chocolates) are in the air! 🍫
At 10:53 AM, Swiggy Instamart had already delivered 2x more chocolates than last Valentine's Day. Right now, we’re at 5x the orders of a regular Friday—clearly, sweet surprises are the way to go!
@nisha_narayanan Ab yeh hui na baat! Everyday, our delivery partners bring joy to doorsteps around the country. This time, it’s their turn to enjoy the ride.
I always found threads like a great stream of consciousness. I think that is now lost based on how this is showing up on my feed
