What excites me the most about this three day National Conference in the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Trivandrum is that it's solely on food and its role in society. Heartwarming to see scholarship on food grow. Happy to be a part of it.

I am surprised this is what the NYT film critic wrote

“Wiseman directed, edited and served as one of the producers on “Menus-Plaisirs,” which runs a heroic four hours (about a half-hour shorter than “City Hall”!). It’s absorbing from start to finish.”

The last part not true;…

Social media and ramping up of street food improvisations

So many under-told stories

Food in Bengali folk songs

“A song acknowledges the long-standing rivalry between West Bengal and the erstwhile East Bengal. It says that just as the Bangal (a colloquialism for East Bengalis) can polish off rice at the mention of hilsa, a person from Rarh can burp with…
