A tired labourer working in a flat a few floors below came up with a bottle asking for drinking water. Said no one on that floor or 1-2 above below gave so he climbed up. What sort of behaviour is this in such merciless heat? People can't fill a 2lt bottle for a thirsty worker?

I miss the small tandoors Delhi colonies had. We would take dough, get rotis made, sometimes buy freshly made daal too. Nothing else was sold there. I think we paid 10 paise per roti if the dough was ours. Tadka daal was 5 Rs a plate.There was such warmth of love in that space

@TheGoodWomn1 @PrudyRay That's commendable but by saying it here in this tone you're invalidating other person's trauma. What you need is a lesson in empathy. That said, DV also includes emotional, mental & verbal violence and not just physical.

My Aaji (grandmother) on her wedding day , June 1929. She did her BSc from Ferguson College. Stayed in a hostel in Pune during schooling and married a man of her choice much against the community. The father (her only parent) supported the decision of his only child. I miss her.

Unless you are financially independent it's very difficult to leave a toxic home, maternal or marital.There are no safe places for women to go.Going back to maternal home is usually bad idea for many. It is not your home once you're married off. Toxic siblings add to the trauma.

UP style kadhi is different from the Punjabi kadhi.These feather light phulouri or pakodi that soak of the tangy liquid are the game changer in this slow simmer dish. No onion garlic but a baghar of generous whole red chilies&spices+a sprinkle of homemade garam masala at the end.
