1/ Many ppl see Dil Se & feel repulsed at SRK's stalking + sexual assault Ppl write it off - saying it aged badly. Bollywood glorified stalking then. How could SRK - Bollywood's blue-eyed boy - be such a creep? What if I told you.. we aren't supposed to like SRK in Dil Se? 👀

1/ Dil Se is a dark film which deals with a lot of moral greyness Against this backdrop, we have the colourful song Satrangi Re. While the song drops at exactly the 1 hour mark.. The 7 min song song sums up SRK's slow descent into madness & foreshadows the ending ⚠️Spoilers⚠️

4/ In Dil Se, SRK is a Gov officer from the Centre. Manisha represents the marginalised NE states. Their personal relationship also mirrors the way the Centre behaves with the NE. It denies them agency of choice & assaults them several times. It doesn't respect their wishes.

PSA: I don't know who needs to hear this.. But if you are in Bangalore, please DO NOT buy your 🥑 online You get a local variety of 🥑 here (which we call butterfruit) at 1/3 the cost from local vendors. You can make the most yummy 🥑 toast or my fav.. A creamy 🥑 THICC shake

1/ Today I learnt that Lufthansa serves more than 200,000L of tomato juice mid-air a year. 🤯 Almost as much as beer. 🍻 In peak German way, they went to a research lab to reverse-engineer this trend 🔧 Why do ppl <3 tomato juice so much mid-air?! 😶‍🌫️ And what SHOULD you order?

This plum cake cookie was so, so good. Super fudgy & soft inside but crispy outside! Loved how THICC it was with molten white 🍫 & 🍊 soaked raisins. Its a limited edition cookie from this smol cookie cloud kitchen called Made in Oven, HSR 10/10 satisfied my cookie craving!

1/ Bangalore has 70+ microbreweries 🍻 Each day, each brewery uses 200 kg of grain/day That's ~14,000 kg of grain going waste. PER DAY 😱 So Bangalore based food researcher cum chef @elizabethyorke started @SavingGrains . @SavingGrains upcycles spent grain to good flour
