A perspective 👇

[Sameer Vora @sameervor72]

@DeepalTrevedie In reality, Surati food is too overrated and lacks basic quality and combination of nutrients! The only authentic surati food is Khamani and loccho, rest all is udhaar kaa sindur!

[Deepal.‏‎‎Trivedi @DeepalTrevedie]

:)
Gujaratis and their obsession with cheese! Remember your wonderful piece on it too. Im sure Gujaratis must be accounting for 50 per cent cheese consumption in India!
The other day we made Burrata cheese thepla with green methi at home! They were delicious 🫢🫢

[vir sanghvi @virsanghvi]

@DeepalTrevedie Our primary contribution to national cuisine may turn out to be Amul cheese !

Sonia Gandhi mentioned Gujarati food, emphasising she loved Gujarati food from Surat.
We consider it v good!
In fact, Surat is considered the ultimate place in India to experience the pleasure of eating and Benares ( Varanasi), the ultimate destination for spiritual liberation and moksha.
In Gujarati, we have a proverb that says સુરત નું જમણ અને કાશી નું મરણ. A person who experiences both( food in Surat And Death in Kashi) is believed to be fortunate.
What is your Surat favorite?
Mine is Garlic Cheese Locho. Sinful! And nankhatai from Dotiwala Bakers. The bakery is 165 years plus old.
And yes cheese on Locho because, hu Gujarati chhu!

Food has always had a special place in my story. It was while looking for a good meal that I met Rajiv, and fell in love.

Years later, India came to me the same way, one meal at a time. At first the variety amazed me and the spice scared me. Now dal chawal is the taste of home, and I can't go a day without it.

[Deepal.‏‎‎Trivedi @DeepalTrevedie]

@Rekhsha_ Oh I have not had it.

[Deepal.‏‎‎Trivedi @DeepalTrevedie]

@kaaju_boy9081 હા, એ પણ આપણી જ છે!

[Deepal.‏‎‎Trivedi @DeepalTrevedie]

Congratulations!

They try to stop us from doing our work. Now, they are stopping you.
This is the reality about the world's largest democracy when it comes to freedom of speech and journalism.
But still, we will continue to speak up, question those in power and hold the powerful accountable. A free and fearless media is not just our right; defending it is our duty.
Important for all of us to support free and fair media. Many agree but are fencesitters, still. Please support us!
And @HelleLyngSvends someday I look forward to interviewing you in #Gujarat.

I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom.

But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa.

Here is my message for @AmitShah

[Deepal.‏‎‎Trivedi @DeepalTrevedie]

@chetan_pagi Agree!

The true idea of India. 🫶🫶

[V D Satheesan @vdsatheesan]

This is the Keralam I know, love, and believe in.

Razak and Sulaiman were not born to Kalyani Amma of Muttam, Chitragiri, Wayanad. Yet, for nearly five decades, they loved and cared for her just like their own mother. When the time came to bid her farewell, these two brothers fulfilled the 85 year old’s final wish with the deep love and dignity of her own sons.

Here, a mother’s love does not check religion. A son’s duty does not ask about caste. And grief, like love, belongs to all of us equally.

To me, this is what makes Keralam special. A land where love knows no religion, compassion knows no caste, and humanity brings us together. A truly heartwarming sight.

We are all one. Let this grand spirit of Keralam inspire the whole of India.

I have also seen what has been written about my father, Ahmed Patel. One particular line caught my attention. As you can see here, it says, “He was unforgiving towards those who crossed his path.” I think this reflects my father accurately. He was a deeply loyal and committed person when it came to the Congress party. Whenever he felt that someone was acting against the party’s policies or attempting to weaken its leadership, he would take a very firm stand. Mrs Gandhi’s description of him in the book reflects how she viewed him...I am happy that his contribution has been acknowledged in its pages.” @ahmedpatel

[Deepal.‏‎‎Trivedi @DeepalTrevedie]

Terrible. Hope he/she finds a loving home.
Dear Humans: Please do NOT abandon your kids or pets. It is inhuman.

If you know anyone who can adopt please ask them to call Mr. Rajesh- 9945164143

Please share as much as possible 🙏

[Deepal.‏‎‎Trivedi @DeepalTrevedie]

There are certain things that stand out in @SoniaGandhi's book, Belonging:A Journey of Love.
One of them is a factual error.
Ahmed Patel, her political advisor +aide & Congress' 24/7 troubleshooter died on 25 November 2020, not in 2022 as stated in the book.
For a book that is a personal account of relationships, memories and political history; getting his year of death wrong was disappointing.
Memory may be fallible, but basic historical facts deserve verification. Especially because this book is sort of contemporary Indian political history. Overlook on part of @HarperCollinsIN also.
Hope she and the book publishers acknowledge the error & rectify it in the next edition. #SoniaGandhi #BelongingAJourneyOfLove #AhmedPatel
