Wow, the last two months have been crazy to learn that AuDHD folks have a higher chance of being diagnosed with histamine intolerance and fuck my life, how I learnt this was when I spoke to my therapist about this. I have had to re adjust my eating habits to prevent allergy break outs!

April showers in Bangalore! Truly relieving

The secrets women keep to just believe they can survive their marriage… delusional. If you already know you deserve better, you better walk out. No point living in your secrets.

Only things I’ve been grateful for so far this year? My partner who shows up everyday and is eager to be better for me and my job. Of course, my cats too. The world is becoming weird (er).

Sometimes I wish I was a man. I can just take off and leave all the responsibilities to the women at home who travel 60 kms everyday for work and come home late at night and have to figure out the household situation.

Took me only 2 years of freelancing in F&B/FMCG to make it to the founding team of a pre-seed funded retail/FMCG startup. This level of up-skilling only happens in freelancing is what I believe in. Our corporate jobs are keeping us down and tied to stupid KPIs that take us nowhere, years to promote.

It’s Sunday morning in India. What are you all cooking today?

Hyderabad is giving me loosies, acidity and breaking my skin out. Thanks.

Stressed my husband out by making him look for a ring of mine, while I’m here in Hyd 😂 it was in the exact spot I said it would be! If only he had bothered to check 3 days like I asked. 😒

So fucking annoying to sit and babysit grown ass men in the kitchen who claim to be chefs but cannot fucking get work done!!

Discipline in the kitchen rarely comes easily for Indian male chefs. Fucking tired of supervising the basics, how are you a chef and letting the meat strain unprotected for over 3 hrs?!

If you are interested in the Kashmir conflict and want to know about the colonized territory. I have a book suggestion that attempt to explain the history and Indian occupation of the region. 1/3

Went for a night safari and met a different cat (and her cub) having their dinner. #photography 🦊 #Wildlife #Nature #Caturday #JungleSafari 🌿🖌️ 📸📸

Some northern lights over my street for you tonight

Made fresh spag and fettuccine for a friend’s birthday today. Pretty good I’d say.

Twitter is really so unbearable by each day. But fuck, I gotta stay active there so I get orders for my business :( hate that I have to do this but I don’t really have another means since most of them won’t migrate onto here!!!!! Ugh

Daily sandwich bread. Perfect rise, perfect crumb. I baked it yesterday and it’s already over. Onto the next loaf 🍞

It's a covert ploy to turn India into a presidential system; GST did half of it, and now One Nation One Election will complete this. Remember, once this is done, states will become mere slaves to the will of the Union.

Portrait of my cat, Chase. Phone cameras are pretty amazing these days.

Today is perhaps the lowest day I’ve had in 2 months. I don’t know if I should go back to a full time gig or continue consulting while I juggle being a chef. The idea of a paycheck hitting my account every month feels so much safer but I will never be happy.

Whatever happened to using Indian cheese like Bandel and Kalari?!

I’m so done with Indian cafés adding burrata to their menu. Stop it, it’s over and done with! It doesn’t even go with your dal makhani pasta!!!! STOP!!!!!

Honestly, I gotta give it to white musicians like Coldplay. Hoodwinking an entire nation of gullible right wing Hindutva goons. Damn.

Chris Martin singing Vande Mataram is sending all the right-wing bros into a Hindutva laced orgasm. Was definitely not on my bingo card this early on in the year!

If you see this quote with flowers in your gallery. 🌸 from my goodbye party last November.

More thoughts on marriage, I do really think that it benefits only men and not women. They really cannot grasp the amount of invisible/and visible labour that goes into making their lives comfortable and will always fail at returning the same kindness to their wives. No matter how woke they are.

America and India competing with each other for who’s the biggest clown

One month of being married and all I can tell you about why I think it’s not gonna end in divorce (yet) is because we have separate bathrooms 👍🏻

Baffles me how restaurants exploit home chefs for their heirloom recipes without compensating them?!

It has been an interesting month full of interesting cooks and sales. Made this mortadella sammie with kale pesto and hot sauce (both homemade), it’s been a slow month for sales in the kitchen but busy nonetheless. Have come to the conclusion that Jan is by far the slowest month in the F&B industry.

Sometimes all I want is a healthy serving of mixed greens. 🌱📷

Damn.. it’s been an intense few weeks of Jan. how are you my Bluesky friends???

Demi Moore is a first-time #GoldenGlobe winner for her performance in ‘THE SUBSTANCE’. “I’ve been doing this for 45 years and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor.”

The best way to make sticky rice in India with local grains? Mash day old cold sona masoori rice lightly to break the grains up and then cook. Of course, idli rice would be a much better alternative but this is what I had. Turned out great with some corn and green peas (in season right now!).

Too many bots on here yo

Now that Elon Musk Is promoting AfD neo-nazis for Germany, I want to make sure people know him for who he is. It makes sense that he bought Trump. If you want this logo to be the new Twitter logo and brand, give it a like and pass along the logo.

I’ve been slightly nervous of painting a House Sparrow as it’s one of the first birds I painted over 3 years ago and it was a heavy-handed disaster. I enjoyed this way more than I expected! 🪶🪶 #art #watercolour #nature #soulfood #sparrow

Having the courage to walk away from relationships that hurt you >>> staying behind to continue hoping things will meet your expectations without visible actions and change. Sad but true and necessary

I am actually having a lot of fun during my wedding. Never thought this would be possible!

Swearing off self-help books next year. 2025 is the year of self-hindrance.

People are still worried about how they will run restaurants without “trending Instagram” food. How does one explain the concept of sustainable consumption? Social media has ruined this. Off season things being available all year don’t make for good food. No matter how much cheese you smother it in!

I know this is a very normal thing and people do this all the time, but I can’t believe it’s officially the week of my wedding. One week from today I’m gonna be married. While I am happy about this, I also can’t believe I’m actually doing this. 🙈

Settling into my new home, it was hard at first but we’ve made progress. Made Turkish eggs for brekkie the other day!

Why did none of you warn me enough about how men are incapable of drawing boundaries with their mothers?

Smushy-faced pupper on the struggle bus to wake up today. 💤💤💤💤💤

Just one advice to everyone getting married? Do your own makeup. I promise you, it’s 100% worth it.
