How can Durga Puja be celebrated without mutton/ goat curry. Yes, that’s a potato in it. We cook our meat with potatoes in Assam. That hit the spot.

We Indians complain about aunties and uncles who judge us or offer unwanted advice. Many of us end up repeating the same cycle. Just blocked a former student of mine offering his insight on my hair. “ Itne young age mein ache nahi lag rahe” , he says. Firstly I am not young.
