The Desi Food


Some cities have an inseparable relationship with food, a love affair so extraordinary that the cities become synonymous with its food. After all, what is Mumbai without a Vada Pav.
The humble vada pav: these deep-fried fiery balls of chickpea-battered mashed potatoes, laid inside a chutney smothered pav are so delectable that they compel the perpetually in-a-hurry Mumbaikars to pause and grab one. For a city known for its fast paced life, is it any surprise that Mumbai’s favorite snack is a grab-and-go dish?Outsiders who haven’t tried a vada pav often don’t quite understand the alleged charms of this seemingly ordinary snack. But is it ordinary? Vada pav is much more than just cheap street food. From roadside vendors to corporate honchos, everyone in Mumbai surrenders to the delights of the ubiquitous vada pav.

Self-care/ Mental Health tips — Part 1

1. Create a self-care routine with motivation — By giving yourself some type of reward to wash your face, brush your teeth and shower, taking care of your body, such as only watching your favorite tv show afterwards or getting a scoop of icecream or two, will feel a bit easier to accomplish the tasks that seem simple but can be terribly hard, especially if you suffer from depression. I've learned that combining things into one task also makes it easier, such as once you get in the shower, do everything. Wash your face, brush your teeth, shave, all in the shower. It makes  self-care so much easier.  2. Keep your room clean —  I know it sounds too basic and I also know how hard this is but trust me this contributes to as much as 65% to your mood. I’m absolutely awful at it, even in the summer but it really makes the biggest difference. Coming home to a mess when your life is already stressful and messy enough just makes things worse. I kno...
