Masala Lab started with ingredients in the kitchen and took the reader through the first principles of cooking, and ended with Biryani being made
Masala Body, its sequel, begins with you eating a mouthful of biryani and we follow it through the human body - digestion, metabolism, hormones, microbes and all
The first copies are here! And you can pre-order it now! amazon.in/Masala-Body-Engine…
Woke up at 630 on a Saturday morning just so that I can hog the streets of south bangalore with my darling @ajit_bhaskar . #SteelPlateDiaries
Wanted to go out for a run but it began pouring. Bleddy Bangalore useless weather, why can't you just be hot and humid like Madras always?
Some of my favourite ppl have come from here and I've forged friendships fromthe time of the fail whale
Making non sticky eggs in a steel skillet is more impressive than his sicilian defense.
Ignore all the so-called vegetarians who are going to get super triggered.
This is the Leidenfrost Effect.
Melting in chennai heat and then looking at the 2 huskies in my building, panting it off like champs.

No more ‘Tinku’, ‘Chhotu’, ‘Bablu’ or ‘Shaitaan’…. Rajasthan government launches scheme - Sarthak Naam Abhiyaan- to CORRECT ‘ inappropriate’ names. Only the Indian bureaucracy could draw up such a govt scheme of 3000 acceptable names. Acceptable names include ‘Akbar’, ‘Birbal’, ‘Vrindavan’. Amazing report in @htTweets today. By the way, Major Shaitan Singh, Paramveer Chakra winner and hero of Rezang La would have had to change his name if this scheme had been in existence then…..

OTTPlay is shutting down and some of us lost our writing spaces. I have been reviewing at least one of Eng/Hindi/Tamil/Malayalam films close to 13 years now. If you are an editor looking for an experienced film critic, let me know. You can find my work at adityashrikrishna.com/
The 'ghar kab aaoge' song popped up on my Spotify and at first I thought it was some re-release or such.
But man Sonu is such an absolute legend, totally blows everyone out of the water, especially arijit.
Diljit is probably a distant second. Ppppah what range and feels.

When have everyone singing the same verse, the range gap is mind-blowing
